There have been many foolish hoaxes since the days of Theodore Hook. but few so cruel as one mentioned by Bram Stoker in his book. Famous Imposfors." A young couple were about to be married in Birmingham when those officiating were startled by the delivery of a telegram from Lon don with the message Stop marriage at once. His wife and children have arrived in London and will come on 10 Birmingham. The bride tainted. and tue bridegroom was frantically perturbed at thus summarily being provided with a wife and family. But it WIS useless-the unhappy man had to make the best of luis way through am eXasperated crowd. full of sympa- thy for the wroneea girl Inquiry, however. showed her friends that the whole thing was hoaX-possibly worked by some revengeful rival of the man whose happiness had been so unexpectedly deferred"

of basket ball played at Bogue Falaya
Park on Saturday afternoon between
the Hammond High School and the
Covington High School teams, result
ing in victory for the Covington

points up to within five minutes OF
the close, when Covington got in
some fast plays and run in four field
goals.

IN THE DEN Of
KARN|VAL KLUB

Few people who witness carnival
parades have any idea of the work
and skilled labor that it takes to
produce them. The April Bros, of
New Orleans, who are now building
the floats of the Kovington Karnival
Klub for the Mardi Gras celebration
on February %, are at work in the
Den" of the Karnival Klub, lost to
view behind huge canvass outlines,
exposed to the heat of flaring camp
fires, whose painted flames look hot
enough to warm the winds Of winter
or to melt the thermometer in such
weather as we had Monday. The
huge trunks of trees that look heavy
enough to crush the life from the
monster alligators that 1urk in the
shadows of the waters are but paper
shells skilfully and truly formed to
nature. Creeping reptiles, and
turtles on their backs and in piles,
mixed with shells and flowers and
leaves, the crude formation of a
papier mache process that, when
fully developed, is startlingly real
istic are brought to view around
corners and on shelves ano intrude

Mr.. Chas. Bagnetto, of New Or
leans, the scenic artist, is skillful in
his art, and a dull and unattractive
piece of canvas is rapidly transform
ed into a beautiful and realistic
scene, assuming the change almost
while you watt Crude bits or
paper are turned into leaves, foliage
grows under deft fingers, bits of gold
and silver leaf brighten the hearts
of flowers and give the sparkling
tinsel effect that dominate elfish
scenes in Fairy Land" not that
there are any fairy scenes in the
parade of the Kovington Karnival
Klub, but there are scenes where
gold and silver play their part and
add beauty to the scene.
1t is interesting to watch the work
of Messrs. Walter and Alvin April
to see a common piece of glazed
wrapping paper grow into leaf
either that of the plain scrub oak or
the ample, waving palm. There are
several processes to be gone through
before the leaf reaches it's state OF
perfection, including wiring and
painting. Much of the ornamental
and animal work is papier mache
and done with molos. The work is
not such as can be done by novices,
but requires the practiced hand of an
expert, to bring out the truesness to
nature and to lift one at once from
the dustry streets into the realm OF
natures own garden.
The work is being well done and
the parade will undoubtedly be the
grandest affair of the kind that has
ever been witnessed in Covington.
It should draw large crowds not only
from the country districts of the
parish but from many of the cities
of the State.
