this sign on the wall of the police sta

wearily into a chair.
"That1l hold them for a while,

last pet cat, and hereafter Wilmette
people viii have to bury their own
pets"
Nine lives apparently is not enough
for the felines of Wilmette, as during
the last two weeks twenty-five or
thirty furry pets have succumbed.
Chief of Police Sieber told Of the
woes OF being an undertaken to cats.
During the last couple Of weeks =
he said. Il have been called upon at
all hours Of the day and night to bury
dead cats.

the horse and wagon, but refused to
tell where they got them.
I'VE had another horse and wagon"

Before describing this ancient and
picturesque festival, which has now
been annually held by this band of
devout believers for the past 1900
years, a word or two about the people
themselves will not be out of place.
Once strong and numerous, they have
gradually diminished until now the
poor and despised remnant crowded
together in their quarters in Nablous,
numbers only about 10 souls. AS they
do not intermarry with other peoples,
and the number of their women is pro-
portionately small they are gradually
dying out though holding on tenacious
national resuscitation and glory They
are, as in the time of Christ, detested
by the Jews and are hardly tolerated
by the Mohammedans among whom
they dwell Their high priest. by
name Yakob, claims, with good show
of historical confirmation, to be lin
cal defendant of Aaron, Israels first
high priest. He has held his Office
for over 60 years.
In their synagogue in Nablous they
have the famous Samaritan Scroll of
the Pentateuch They accept only the
five books of Moses as scripture.
Their scroll Is claimed by them to
have been written by the grandson Of
Aaron. Scholars assign it to about
the second century of the era. They
also possess some valuable historical
annals" They contain short refer
ences to the birth and death of Christ
and to the work of the apostles.
The locality in which they live is
redolenr with scripture associations.

bitter disappointment to them. and
while they had no comment to MAKE
upon the outcome. the statement vas
offered that with such reversal on the
cards it was easy for anyone TO imagine
the difficulty which the committee Is
faced with in the selection Of the Ameri-

that Bob Wrenn said in answer 10 the
question Of an acquaintance was: These

service. followed by Hackett, Pell and

Touchard and Pell took long chances.
They forced their rallies at the net, com

was i'm the close exchanges that Touchard
proved wizard as of old. He worked
the ball across court at a slashing pace.
II was Little, who, playing right court
on his side, as Touchard did on his, met
the ball on these Shots.
DESPITE the fact that II was the first
appearance Of Little in an important
connection this season he acquitted him

but as the stroke analysis showed at the
end he made the same number of errors
az Hackett. while he surpassed him in
points earned. Hackett was steady and
resourceful. but he did not get much to
do II was Lttle's sensational stand that
turned the fourth set In favor Of his side.
