In less than two weeks the earth is to
plunge through the tail.of Halley's COM

tronomers it really seems that the earth
on May 10 is to have a rather narrow
escape from a collision. The distance
between the earth and the comet on that
day will be only 100000 miles. That
IS mere triae as planetary distance is
counted. No heavenly body except the

STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATE

STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
The first convention of the State
Library Association, which was held IN
Alexandria April 2o-3o, was well at
tended and is the beginning of intell1-
gent work in the line of establishing
libraries. The first thing made plain
was that our cities and towns have no
power to levy tax for Libraries, and
SO a library bill was framed which will
be presented to the Legislature at this
seccion. New Orleans, Lake Charles,
Jennings and Alexandria have secured
donations from the Carnegie founda-
ton fund for establishing libraries.
Shreveport is notIceably inactive in this
respect. Attending the meeting were
librarians and members of library boards
all deeply interested in the library ex-
tension movement North Louisiana was
represented by Mrs. NJ. HI. Williams of
the central school library, and Miss Bill
liu of the Peoples Library, Shreveport.

posts and stopped the train, saved the
passengers and met terrible death.

she answered, mo, no, if | get in the

the Stella sank beneath her feet. There

ALEXANDRIA PUBLIC LIBRARY.
One of the pleasures of the conven-
ton of Librarians, held in Alexandria
last week, was an informal reception
after the brisk business session Satur-
day at the Alexandria public library, an
endowed institution, whose history and
success is very dear TO the hearts of the
people The library was founded by Mr..
Shepherd Bryan, an honored and below
ed citizen, whose death occurred last
spring. Mr.. Bryan's donation was
$4,000 to the city of Alexandria if it
would furnish the site and maintain the
library and secure like amount from
the Carnegie fund, which was promptly
done. The building is situated on the
corner of Lee street and is of yellow
pressed brick, spacious and colonial in
style. At Mr. Bryan's death he made
another bequest of $4,000 to the library
which places it beyond the fear of hard
times or panics.
The librarian is Miss Lily Thornton,
eldest daughter of Judge ]. R Thorn
ton, bright, most agreeable young
woman. She has an assistant librarian,
Mrs. Della Hickman, Familiarity known
in the town as Aunt Dee" and also re-
garded as one of Alexandria's best read
and most clever women. With these two
capable ladies in charge, the Alexandria
library has grown in usefulness and is
the center of the literary life of the
town. The reading room, where the
latest and best periodicals are found, is
well patronized by adults and children
the children's hour being special time
allotted to them. The library is an or
ranent to the town and a sign of rtnmis-
.akable progress.
