The Clever French Printers.


One of the first things that the new
society called the Entente Cordial

French printers and proof readers in

misuse of titles has become SO common
that nobody much minds it. "Sir Bal

rate, Ineligible. But there is no ex-
cusc for the habitual misspelling Of
British names. even wien copied from

trouble to translate the whole of the
mechanical section at the British asso-
citation, and then prints his name in
large type at the top Of every page,

carelessness is peculiar to France, and,

horse of vast size, in which was conceal
ed band of armed soldiers of the Greek
army. By the specious story of fugi-

When once this was done, the concealed
soldiers emerged from the horse and
opened the gates TO the entire Greek
army.
