A New Holiday Bit for Children.


A osy.cheeked little girl upon black panel
is one Of the novelties of the season. The face,
and perhaps figure, are cut from one of the in
finite variety OF. scrap pictures and pasted on.
Then the puppet is dressed in a real costume;
tiny little lace cap or beaver hat, white skirt,
silk dress, cloth sack. even a collar round her
neck and wee bits of slippers or shoes, made
from an old kid glove, on her feet. All is as
complete as the out fit Of any mothers darling
on Broadway. excepting only that her clothes
are fastened with mucilage instead of being
sewed and buttoned. It requires very skillful
fingers to make these panels nicely, but when
finished they are q charming remembrance for
the children for New Years and birthdays.

levees Cut.

shreveport Times, Feb. 2nd.l
During the past year the Police
Jury of Bossier parish contracted
for the building of levees across
several bayous on the east side, be
tween Chalk Level and the LATTER
place, and the work had been com.
pleted, which would reclaim several
thousand acres of valuable land and
protect from overflow the plantations
on the entire Bossier side. Last
Sunday night the levee across one
prong of the Lay bayou, near the
LATTER place, and also the one across
the bayou on the Kinkead place, a
mile and a half above, were cut by
unknown parties. The first has been
entirely washed out; the second has
been repaired and will be saved. 1t
is now being guarded by men armed
with double-barrel shot guns. The
destruction of the first named leYee
will probably result in the overflow
of all the plantations on the Bossier
side below it. The people in that
locality are naturally very indignant
and should those who did the cut
ting be found they will likely be
roughly handled. We learn that a
reward of $500 will be offered for
the Identification of the perpetrators.
