for the purpose Of organizing a ladies'
library association. seems to be meet
Ing with much favor.
Concentration Of effort Is a COOL rule
In life. A single purpose well pur-
sued brings success. The paramount
idea OF this movement IL that the oh.
1ect Is q worthy one, and that a unit.
ed effort Of enthusiastic ladies hai
mOni0usly working to a common end
| will become an upbuilding force OF
large value. and Importance to an I'm
portant public interest.
The public library belongs to Las
Vegas. II Is an educational force IN
the progress onward and upward II
this community.
The city council recognizing this
fact Is inclined to give substantial
aid. The library board Is working
hard to make the institution Of real
advantage and value to the public. not
merely as a temporary ornament, but
as a living vital force. entering into
the intellectual development Of our
home pepole. II Is q hopeful indica'
tion that many Of our leading public
spirited women, who have done and
are doing so much for Las Vegas
should look 80 f%avorably upon this
new movement. The Optic speaks
Tor ! crowded house at the library
building next Tuesday. The invita-
ton Is to all, the movement IS 20
all.
This will be "a favorable opportunity
for those who have not visited tn
library TO do 50, and observe how wei
adopted its use, the library building
IL and what a fine library has beer
established.
An incident occurred In Las Vega
recently worth mentioning, and It rails
ed a question worth investigation.
A little party was discussiong his
~torical questions. One related n
had heard It said that the great EN-
peror Charlemagne, had been entomn
cd in a sitting posture, IN q larg'
arm chair, and with a crown upon nj
head and that thus entombed ne ma
remained for 800 years.
II was related that subsequently a.
mustrious prince had disentombed IN
remains OF Charlemagne and tina
the chair in which his remains had 9
,org rested became eve afterward
chair Of state, used at the coronation
Of succeeding princes. One OF IN
Marty denied that there could Q
found any historical mention or ev
dence Of this circumstance.
The discussion leads The Optic, :

This was equivalent to a rise

and we started off strong on
that basis from Sat close. Oct.

were sold by about > different
brokers supposed to be acting
