PLOUGHING ON
S. PALAFOX STREET

Paving preliminaries from the
wharf northward to Main street were
started yesterday, when several big
ploughs were placed at work to cut
the earth down to the proper grade.
The curbing has been finished from
the wharf to the south side of Main
street, and paving material, including
many thousand brick, have been plac.
ed along the route. The brick will be
placed on a concrete foundation. The
street railway line, which courses
through the new section of Palafox
to DE paved, has been lowered and
buried in concrete, and the pavement
workers will have no delay from that
source. It is expected concrete laying
will start Monday, beginning at the
head of Palafox wharf, with a view Of
completing the same and effecting a
junction with the old brick now ex-
tending to Main street in time for the
landing of the carnival king.

.COONSkIN CAP is WORST
THING A HUNTER CAN WEAR
BY Associated Press,

Covington, La, Jan. THE COON
skin cap, long associated with the pro-
fessional hunter and trapper, is the
very worst thing hunter can wear.
At least, this is the belief of Henry
Roberts, hunter, living on the banks
of Pearl river, near here, who blames
that kind Of headgear for an en-
counter which nearly cost him his
life. Roberts, while hunting wild
turkeys yesterday, was concealed in
the bushes, only his coonslzin cap
showing above the brush. 1t was sud-
denly pounced upon by wild cat
from nearby tree. The wild cats
fondness for the coon is well-known.
Likewise his attack upon a person is
an almost unheard of thing in this
section. Roberts killed the animal
with knife, after a fierce struggle.
The hunters head, neck and arms
were badly lacerated.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 7!-Attending
the snowfall unprecedented in this

Cont Trust to Your Eye.

IN spite of the growth of knowledge
old illusions about wild animals still
hold their own. To begin with, the
belief that the human eye can control
a wild creature is held by many people
and intelligent people, teo-notwith-
standing the many proofs in evidence
against it. 1t is true that any man
risks his life every time he turns his
back on wild animals, but not on ac-
count of his eyes being turned away.
1t is because the animal is treacherous
and knows by instinct that anything
with its back turned toward 1t is de-
fenseless. Snakes are looked upon as
evil at all times, but in nearly every
case the attack is made from sheer
nervousness. No creature is more nerv-
Gus than a snake.

CITY DOES GOOD
JOB VERY CHEAP

Street Superintendent Hutchinson
yesterday completed the hardening
and browning of Church street east
cia, at total cost of $54.50. A bid
for the work was received from one
firm, but the amount was thought to
have been too high. This bid was
$3.50. The mayor took occasion yes
terday to congratulate the street
superintendent, and the chairman of
the board of public works also ex-
pressed much pleasure, not only over
the excellence of the work, but for
the saving which had been marked
