Kept The Philadelphia Record says: "I guess most people have in them more, or less of what is called superstition. 1 know I have, and sec no use in denying it," said a former resident-of Delaware yesterday, "I have heard a good deal of argument against ghosts and haunted houses and hoodooing, but none of them convinced me that 1 was wrong.

You may think I am foolish, but that does not change my belief. My father was the seventh of nine son and my mother was the only child of her parents, so you see my belief was born in me, what folks call inherited. No, I am not afraid of the things 1 believe in, but some of the things I have seen and heard made me wish at the time I was not alone. Oh, 1 might talk an hour or more on what I have seen and heard without idling all. There is nothing I hate worse than a black cat or a red rooster, unless it might be an owl.

My mother used to tell me never to injure a black cat, and never to stand still when a red rooster crowed. When I was 1H vears old and working on a farm in dred, 1 hit a black cat St. Georges bun- on the back of its neck with a potato hoe and killed it. I stayed on the farm a year afterward and every night or so a black cat came and mewed at my window just above the back porch. I set traps to catch it, watched at the window with a gun; but say, that cat walked right over the trap an1 never see rnedto touch it.

1 shot, at it twice, but the shots went through it without stopping its mewings. I never knew why it was bad luck to stand still when a red rooster crowed, for, like the darkies down there, I always took to dancing about when an old red cock crowed. Oh, the air is filled with things most people never see, and it's a good thing they don't, or there would be lots more troubles than there are to worry over." HE NEVER KNEW. A Former Delawarean Relates an Unusual Experience. The Philadelphia Record says: "Do you remember Dr.

Sam Jones, the old horse and cow doctor?" asked one Delawarean of another yesterday in an uptown lunch room. "Well, he wa.s the greatest man of his kind I have ever knowr. He was a descendant of a Virginia slave and never had any schooling, yet he seemed to know just what ailed a horse or a cow by simply looking at it, and I have known him to bring around horses which had been given up to die by veterinary surgeons. Poor old Doctor Sam, I came near i sending him into kingdom come, unin- tentionally one night. I had been out for the day with rn best horse and reached Jamison Corner a little after midnight.

My horse must have been i anxious to get back to the oats trench, for pull as 1 would on the reins I couldn't check its speed. I got around the corner all richt and waa turning the curve out of Cedar lane to the main road when I saw old Doc, coming along in his buggy. A farmer had thrown a lot of corn fodder on the side of the road, so I couldn't avoid a collision. One of the wheels of my carriage struck a hub of one of the doctor's wheels with so much force that his buggy went up in the air, throwing him over on the corn fodder. His horse broke away and ran home.

My buggy was little the worse for the bump. Two days later Doctor Sam told me cf his experience and said, I would have been killed if the good lortl hadn't thrown me on that fodder which was next to being thrown on a feather He never knew whose carriage wrecked his buggy."
