IMPROVEMENTS.


in Shreveport continues his steady
march, to a greater or less extent
Evidences Of this can be seen in al
parts of the town. both residence:
and business houses bearing evidence
of the fact. The old Ripinsky build
ing on corner of Texas and Market
streets is being entirely Overhauled
and renovated inside and out. and
will be ornamented with handsome
iron frontal columns while the side
walks on both streets at the side and
front will be set off by superb con
crete matter. The woodwork is un-
der the supervision of that finished
mechanic Mr.. frank Denham. while
the brick and concrete work is being
handled by that accomplished artist
Mr.. /. J. Rudy.
Speaking of concrete work recalls
the fact that there has been consider
able of this kind of repairing done in
our town and it is growing more and
more in favor. Mr. Rudy has but re-
Gently finished neat piece of this
work in front of the Southern Hard
ware Company's store owed by
Captain Pete Youree who has reached
the conclusion that this material is
not only more tasty. but far more
durable than brick.
In line with improvements Mr.. j.
W. White, has made neat addition
to histenment on Texas avenue and it
now presents quite an attractive ap-
pearance on that thoroughfare. The
commodious store building of the
Southern Hardware Company, cor
nor Spring and Travis streets is fast
nearing completion, while those of
Mrs. M. +. Smith, on Commerce are
keeping easy pace.
My courthouse square" is being
rapidly filed to the grade by the
police jury and under the manage
ment of Dir. j. r. Herndon a special
committee Of one, this spot is fast as
suming graceful and attractive pro-
positions. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Hermdon will continue his excellent
supervision until the ground is nicely
sDdded, ornamental trees planted, the
jail removed and fine concrete walks
msde from the streets TO the four en-
frances and sidewalks laid on the
four sides.
Besides these, much more repair
work in the nature of painting, paper
ing ete, is goingon.
In addition to these, several hand
some residences are in contemplation,
the contracts to sone having already
been let, while the plans to others
are now in the hands of architects.
Among these may be mentioned a
beautiful dwelling fo, Mr.. VS.. Pc

twenty feet high. The whole affair
was made of boards, covered with can
vas and painted to resemble bricks.
At last the auspicious evening came
round and the church was crowded to
the doors with eager Boonvillians of
every age, denomination and hue.
People were not going to stay away be-
cause they belonged to other churches.
Santa Claus wasn't billed to appear at
any other church. and all were well
come.
The MISUNDERSTANDING chimney was
the center of observation, and it was
hard work for the superintendent to
gain any attention at all when he pro-
ceeded with the opening exercises.
He spoke briefly of the expected guest
of the evening, and there was song
or two, but his words were received
with manifest impatience and the
songs were rushed through in double
quick time.
At the appointed moment for the ar
rival of Santa Claus there was a faint
jingling of bells, as if in the distance.
The merry jingle grew louder and
louder, and stopped apparently just
overhead with a final jingle accom-
panied by shrilly-shouted: ''Whoa"
Then there was commotion in the
chimney and suddenly fuzzy white
head popped up from the opening at
the top and gleeful ''Ha, hal" issued
from the make-believe Santa as he held
aloft an armful of toys. In another
moment he emerged from the fireplace
below and went capering about the
Christmas tree, hanging the contents
of his pack upon its branches.
The audience was in tumult. Every
neck was stretched and twisted to en-
able its owner to observe every move
ment of the wonderful apparition be.
fore them. The men and boys ''Haw,
hawed'' and shouted and the women
and girls "Oh, myed!" and giggled de-
| lightedly.
In a few moments his pack was
emptied, and with the squeaky an
nouncement that he had good many
more chimneys to climb that night St
Nick bade them good-by and disap
peared in the fireplace
The room became suddenly quiet and
every eye was raised to the chimney
top In the expectation of getting g
parting glimpse of the jolly old saint
but he did not show up at that point
| He came to view lower down and in
anything but a jolly condition. just
before reaching the top one of the
boards inside the chimney on which he
stepped gave way and down came poor
Santa Claus, chimney and all.
1t was rather an unhappy wind-up tc
a very clever performance, but there
were no bones broken, and the bogus
Santa Claus joined in the laugh at hi:
own expense and jocosely remarked
that he ''never could go up 1ue very
gracefully anyhow"

There was to be 'sSandy Claws at

preparations had been made for the
event There had been Christmas trees

announcement had gone forth that st.
Nick was to visit the church by way

hang presents on the tree for the chill

A certain young man who was some
what popular on account Of previous
performances was selected to imper-
senate Santa Claus. For the purpose
he had provided himself with white
whiskers and wig and coat and cap
trimmed with fur. With these and
his face redeemed with carmine he
made very presentable figure of the
jolly old saint.
In one corner of the Sunday school
room an imitation fireplace had been
constructed, with chimney extending

we are therefore able to furnish these works
of art for only ten cents.
