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.
