SOME OF TILE WOES OF A
COUNTRY JOURNALIST

Having run out of press rags, a week
or two ago, the Silver State News in
serted an advertisement in its columns,
offering to pay the highest cash price
for supply of the same. But it seems
that there are no rags in town, and the
force was finally reduced to the expe-
dent of drawing on their summer ward
robe. When the supply was exhausted,
consultation was held, when it was
decided to call on j. P. Grandel, the
tailor. After carefully searching
through his establishment and finding
nothing better, the tailor, with a prod
igality born only of long and continued
prosperity, handed out pair of $l2
broadcloth trousers practically new.
Assuring the princely knight of the
shears that they would answer the pur-
pose very nicely, the editor beat hasry
retreat to the Office, where he promptly
tried them on. But alas! They had
been constructed for man of some Is or
20 inches less generous girth, and could
not be worn, and were regretfully as
signed to the purpose for which they
were donated.
Unless some of our kind hearted
citizens furnish us with supply of th'
needed rags, we will soon be obliged to
draw on q scanty winter wardrobe.
