Never before had La passed beyond
the crumbling outer walls of Opar;

Proper Amusements.

Thousands of people demand amuse-

spent In that behalf. But there is alb

the profit. The people want but little

Why may we not have more of the
amusement which strengthens and en-

unaided beneticence might provide
healthful amusement for whole city.
