GHOSTS EVER BOTHER You7
II So, Southern Negro Folks Say These
Simple Precautions Will Chase
EN-.

AS 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 negros beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel hot breath OF air strike
you at twilight signified 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 pugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change, turn and address him thus:
In 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.
If, on the other hand 1t is 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 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 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
have to go. AS the counting for one
night will not do for another you are
always safe.-Southern Workman.

HEADS "BIG SISTERS" SOCIETY

The organization in New York Of
Big Sisters, formed to work on the
lines Of the now eight-year-old society
Of Big Brothers, is the result Of the
individual effort Of Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt in the children's court.
The society has already more than
a hundred members, has an Office in
the suite occupied by the Big Broth
ers. at 200 Fifth avenue, with Sec
retary and assistant secretary to at
tend to the clerical work, and to be
always at the court whenever 1t is In
session and look after little girls who
need assistance when the members Of
the society are not able to be present.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, whose practical
charitable work IL. illustrated in the
apartment homes. with the maximum
amount Of sun and air, which she had
put up for people with incipient cases
Of tuberculosis, began her visits to the
children's court about two years ago.
There she found representatives Of

At present General Hernandez is at

"The revolution is not a separate
one from that which made Madero
president" he said. But Madero be-

becoming president by allying himself
with the wealthy class and the corpo-
