FREAKS OF THE TYPE.
Some Funny Things That Get Into

Dreadful execution is done sometimes by
the man behind the types. Once news
paper man wrote an lad" for a theater,
and in ID said:
From half past eight till half past ten
You laugh and laugh and laugh again.
The style on that paper called for ex-
pressing the hours by figures, so when the
lad appeared it read like this:
From $50 to 1920
You laugh and laugh and laugh again.
Sometimes the proofreader fails 90 cor.
rect and sometimes he doth correct too
much. The sporting editor of a San Fran
cisco newspaper had among his notes an
item which said The young salmon are

statement was printed on his page that

happened, the proofreader said cheerily:

'But why didn't you let it go as wrote
it?' persisted the editor
II couldn't" was the reply. who ever

One morning the readers of an esteemed

Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher did the screaming

One day in early spring Sam Fisher went

1t is an inclined railway several hundred
feet long. You climb UP ladder or a pair
of stairs and seat yourself in a car or box

car a shove and you glide along the rail-

explain that 1.-The types" made them say
that the Scotus did so and so, when the
telegraph editor should have known that
that word was merely the abhreviation
of the telegrapher for Supreme Court Of
the United States.
One Sunday a preacher in McKee's
Rocks, Pa, took for his text, BE We
therefore steadfast," which being inter-
preted in the weekly paper, meant, BE
we there for breakfast.
1t was the mistake of of the makeup
man that put a face powder puff between
two death notices. and the telegraph edi-
Tor, who stayed late that morning, saw
it and had it routed out of the stereotype
plate.
Style is everything in a newspaper of
flee. and some papers spell theatre
centre, ''livre," and 50 on with a final
"'er." That is why one of these papers
a while ago announced that a celebrated
French actor received a salary of 900
livers"
1t would be a long story TO tell in detail
how mix-ups happen, but that they really
do happen can be doubted by no newspa-
per man whose knowledge of the business
ever led him to explorations of the mys-
teries of the composing room, as we'll as
the somewhat intricate mazes of the edi-
torial room. And sd this heartbreaking
account of marriage may be vouched
for as an actual occurrence:
THE church was finely decorated with
holly and evergreen and the altar war ~
tirely hidden in a wealth of flowers. Out
of the recesses rose rare tropical
plants, and from the ceiling hung
fifteen Western veals, which just at the
time of the year are scarce and CORE
spondingly dear at 6a81sc per h. There
was also an active demand for choice
lambs, and farmers living east
of the Mississippi river can
now profitably turn to sheep rails
ing and take the bride who wore a gown
of white corded silk, a creation of
Worth's, with pearl ornaments.
Then came the maid of hon Or, the cous-
IN of the bride, a Miss Henrietta Blower Of
Chicago, wearing a dress Of white tulle,
with diamond ornaments, and she was
closely followed by small bunch of Mon
tana sheep, which bleated most piteouelv
as they were driven on board and shipped
to the winter hotel in Bermuda. They
win there be cut en- traine and slightly de-
coilette, and after the remainder Of the
party had reached the rail- the minister
turned and said in a most impressive
voice: II cannot bid more than 6lk cents

there was a rush for the young married
