Serious but Amusing Typographical
Error that Cost Man His Paper.
Amusing typographical errors In
newspapers that have at times added
to the mirth of nations were under dis
cussion by small crowd of newspaper
men in favorite resort one morning
last week. Among the numerous sto-
ries that were told the following was
the most amusing example of the cal
lousness and recklessness of the old
time travelling COMP"
Il was working on a Detroit paper
in the early $685. he said, when got
a chance to buy q sheet In small town
back in the State. OF course, | consti-
tuted the entire editorial staff, but |
took up From Detroit a printer whom
l meant to make my foreman. With
the exception of requiring two days
drunk each week, and one more day
to sober up on, he really had few faults
for a printer-and l was glad to get
him.
For quite time after we got estab-
lished everything went well. Business
was good, had the Endorsement of the
right people In the town, and fiattered
myself that at last had secured Just
the position suited to my eminent abili-
ties. Here came my undoing.
Il had been there nearly three months
when the daughter of the most promi-
nent citizen of the town died. She
was leader in all church and society
events, and extremely popular. The
obituary notice l got up for the occa-
sion was about the best could do. II
really was fine, and with it wrote a
'splurge' head that think was all right,
too.
1.-The paper was printed Thursday
night and that morning l was sum-
moned to Detroit. l left most explicit
instructions with the foreman and sup
posed l could trust him. Naturally l
was out early next morning to get a
copy of my paper. l got 1t, and never
came so near fainting in my life. That
scoundrel had given the obituary no.
tice the most prominent place In the
sheet, as told him, but had written
the headline One More In Heaven He
had made it One More in the Oven
There was nothing to be done. l got
back as soon as possible, but my fore
man had gone and left no address. ]
put in the day explaining, offering tc
print the whole issue again, and did
everything / could to square the thing
but l was done for in that town, and
sold out soon afterward.
"The scoundrel who ruined me had
the impudence to write and say he had
had few drinks that day and 'misreat
my writing. l have never seen hin
since, and maybe it is just as well."-
