SUNDAY is hot very well observed in
Phoebe, but to the newspaper drudge it
is a blessed day of rest. Then does he
disdain items. In fact, eager as be is
after that kind of game, he does not want
them to occur on that da, for it disturbs
his enjoyment of the delights of doing
nothing. He wants to rest; to quit and
let everything 60 to old Nick, SO that he
is not disturbed. Sunday in an early
time in California used to be the great
day for business. The miners used to
flock into the mountain towns to sell their
dust, buy provisions for the following
week, and to have good time generally.
Then was the time when saloons and the
various games of chance made their har-

a terrible waste of opportunity, or as
Miss Ophelia would say, 'of shiftle S.

quiet and orderly appearance. as well on
Sunday as other days. You hear the
sound of church-bells you see a crowd
of people entering and leaving the sacred
edifices, and there is generally but little
to carp at. Phoebe has for long time
been mark for the skits and filings of
all the wits of the coast, but if thew
would look at their own burghs we doubt
whether they would find them much
