Printed and Published at Nevada City. aie Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday ,and Friday at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3. 1879 SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) % pastette atest ste ateste ate sfeatesteateateatestestesteateateatectesteatestalestesfe sfealestestesteatylete festeateriestesieilealeriesiesieele iesieie ates, « dusrr WonDERIN’ I wonder why plain paper bags, Used day by day with mild urbanity, At times have power to wreck our nerves And fill our minds with wild profanity; In hall or theatre one sits, : Enthralled and thrilled by art’s sublimity, But oh, how changed his mood may be By paper bags in close proximity. I wonder why the noted dramatic critic who recently paid his disrespects to theatre nuisances, failed to mention those most disturbiue rests of all, the paper bag rustlers; but of course even the cleverest critics can’t be expected to remember everything. We are all familiar with aper bag rustlers; in the words of the old Irishman who believed in pixies, ‘“am’t we been annoyed with them?” Like the apostles of old, the P. B. Rs. travel two by two; they come late to the theatre or music auditorium, settle themselves fussily in the seats behind us, and after engaging for several moments ina rambling and quite audible conversation, proceed open crackley paper bags, which contain cookies, candy, peanuts, or for all we know. generous supplies of ham sandwiches. From that time on until the close of the performance, there is a constant crackle, rustle, munch, crunch. and mumble. These wretched sounds obscure every high point of the entertainment which you paid good money to enjoy, and fill you with hot desires which have no place in a peace loving mind. Att last, when the time has come to go, you arise to the final rustle and crack of paper bags being crushed into tight wads and dropped u?on the littered floor, and go home with temper touching new high and murder in your heart. That is what paper bag rustlers can do to the most inoffensive and well intentioned theatre goers. My disrespects to the B. P. Rs. —may their tribe decrease. I wonder how to choose one from among many similar products, all of which are guaranteed by their radio god fathers, to produce exactly the same results. For example, we are assured that numerous articles ranging from granulated potato chips to bottled sea foam will, if used for cleansing purposes, keep our hands soft and smooth and make the family washing seven shades whiter than the neighbors; and_ that scores of nostrums with curious names, have power to stop a cold in its tracks and enable the addict to boast of crude and robust health. All this is most interesting; but how is one to make a choice? Uncle Silas says: ‘‘Mussolini’s-speech of defiance may have made deep im?ressions upon the minds of his supine followers, but at this distance, he sounded like an uneasy bully, whistling to keep his courage up.
