heading for a leading local article, as fol-
lows: "a Jail Delivery" Then we en-.
trusted it to the tender mercies OF the com.
positor and went and spent the afternoon

the heading, his fancy leading him to- favor
"a Jail Darling in preference to our care
fully CONSTRUCTED headline. We have no
excuses to offer for the stupid blunder, but

ance of a meaningless head line.
