and 1t itched until it almost drove me

'GA0s SIS EVER 81 THEIR Y0U7.
10 50, Southern Negro Folks say These
Simple Precautions viii Chase
EN-. Sc

As q part Of the folklore Of the ne
gro folks the superstitions Of slavery
days are Of great interest. The fol.
lowing are some of the negro's beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel hot breath of air strike
you at twilight signifed the nearby
presence Of a ghost. Should you wish
to avoid him, stop and turn your coat
and trousers and hat wrong side out
and the spirit cannot encounter you.
II, however, he is a pugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change. turn and address him thus:
I'm the name Of the Lord, what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth, then depart
and never, never trouble you again.
II. on the other hand, 1t is a prowling
ghost who crawls under the house,
bumps against the floor, makes
strange sounds. and whispers in the
midnight hours, you have only to put
In a new floor and he will do SO no
more.
Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about the house, but
creep In through the crack of the door
IN the wee small hours of the night,
and, once inside, expand to vast pro-
portions. To spare yourself any dis
turbance in this way, sow mustard
seed all about the doorstep just before
going to bed, or place a sieve on the
doorstep.
Before entering, the spirit will have
to count all the holes in the sieve or
all the mustard seeds. and by this
time daylight will come and he will
nave to go. AS the counting for one
night will not do for another you are
always safe.-Southern Workman.
