FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1935. NEVADA CITY NUGGET ‘et _Airy Nothings Nell had no need of spectacles— is At least that’s what she said, But from this month’s best seller, . These startling words: she read. “He looked at his enemy with a cold, circulating eye and suddenly fell to the floor in an apologetic fit.”’ There are so many stalwart men Who wink a “gimme” eye, I hope they'll all be presidents—= Upon so blue a sea. The daily story runs; But here— In the Sweet By and By. ‘All sails look white across the sea of years.” Beware the guiles of Memory She’s a deceitful jade, you see. There never were such perfect days As those’ she paints for me; There*never were such milk white sails Across the seas are war and strife. The noise we make at foot ball games Would drown the roar of guns. —A. MERRIAM CONNER. (= LOCAL 4 PPEINING: Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Locklin of Los Angeles are Nevada City visitors.
