Waverly Beats Cook
Waverly— The foot ball team
which represents the \Waverly high
{tour Falls and in a clear and clever
academy team, the score at the end
of the second half standing 17 to 0
Owing to a question raised by the
Cook young men, an 85 yard run,
made by “Pete” VanOstran, was
not counted, or the score had been
23to 0
By his decision in this point of
the game referee Rollin Perry of
Waverly prevented any chance for
argument and took a commendable
and emphatic step in the nght way
toward putting local athletics in a
good light.
The game which consisted of
two twenty minute halves was fast,
fierce and furious from start to fin-
ish and the locals won by actual
superiority in the fine points of the
game. The ball was forced by
inches up the ficld, time after time,
Warren Reagan and Dougherty
securing touchdowns, and Warren
and Hogan kicking goals.
This makes the third consecu-
tive victory for the lads, who are
being coached by Dr. Theo. Snook
and “Roll” Perry, and the team
has yet two open dates, for which
they desire to arrange games. An
effort is being made to schedule a
game for next Saturday afternoon
on Howard street grounds. The
line up of the WHS team follows

BANKER'S HALLUCINATION.
self and Thirty-Three
Cats to Isis.
A French paper gf aca)
Phare du Bosphore, reports the tragic |
death of a Greek, Georgis Antikulos
who had for years the hallucization }
that he was the reincarnation of an
Egyptian priest of the Temple of Isis
M Antikulos was a retired bankex
While under the hallucination he built
in the neighborhood of Svordin, near
Salonika, a temple dedicated to the
Egyptian goddess, to which he retired
and lived the life of a hermli, only ap-
pearing In the village at rare intervals
to purchase food
In imitation of the ancient Egyptian
city of Bubastis he also bullt near his
dwelling a park-like (oclosure in which
he kept a large number of cals, which
he treated with reverence, offering lo-
cense in their honor, and expending
large sums of money on their food
A few days ago the hermit was found
dead in his cell at the foot of a shrine,
surrounded by the half-burned bodies
of 33 cats.
In an oaken chest placed on a stone
pedestal. inscribed with curious hiero-
glyphics, was Hund a papercontaining a
statement in Greek signed by Antikulos,
declaring that he had been commanded
in a revelation by the goddess Isis to
sacrifice himself. together with the
sacred cats, at the altar hie had erected
fu her honor, Ip order that he might, in
a second relucarnation, establish her
worship in a certain planet to which he
would be directed after his death
The paper concluded with a demand
expressed in the form of a last will and
testament, that a sum of £250 which he
had deposited at the Salonika branch of
the Ottoman bauk should be utilized in
the erection at Salonika of a home for
cats, “the living symbols of the sacred
Egyptian cult.”

ROAD LINKED WITH HISTORY
Origin of the Natchez Trace, Famous
Highway of the South-
west.
One of the oldest roads in the coun:
try is the Natchez Trace, of which
John Swain In Everybody's Magazine
writes as follows:
“A hundred years ago the eyes of
America were on the southwest. We
were on the edge of a war with Spain
over the closing of the Mississippi;
and under orders from Washington,
Wilkinson, in command of Fort
Adams, held some solemn conclave
with the Indians who owned the east
bank of the big river, and by trealy
established a sacred postroad through
their country. It left Nashville In the
old Buffalo trace, crossed the Tennes-
see at Colbert's ferry below the Mus:
sel shoals, and striking the hills back
of the Big Black, came down to
Natchez and on to New Orleans, with
a branch to the Walnut hills. The
road was more than a military neces-
sity, for so many pirates infested the
Mississippl that merchants returning
from New Orleans needed a safer
route home with their money.
“After it was opened it became all
things In the’ southwest. Methodism
went down that way in the person of
Thomas Gibson; later, Lorenzo Dow
followed him with the camp-meeting
spirit. Old Hickory marched his army
down to Natchez over this route in
1513, and marched it back again next
spring. And from that day till nearly
our own it has been the great center
of that country's activity. Now the
railroads have come, the settlers have
moyed down into the valleys, and
opened up poorer roads in the beds of
branches and through swampy low.
lands. But the trace is still there up
on its ridges, the best road of them
