WHAT THE TYPES DO 70 US.
Sometimes They Put Strange Words into
Harmless folks Mouths


The Catholic Telegraph saw; The
fearful Things that the types make in
nocent mOrtals say are calculated to
make the recording angel weep, but
usually they drive the victim of their
depravity to something more strenuous
and lnrid in the shape of language.
Here are few examples:
A popular and prominent man in
England was once called upon to ad-
dress an assemblage. which greeted
him enthusiastically and with cheers.
The newspaper which reported the
meeting said innOcently: 1.-The vast
concourse rent the air with their
snOuts."
A Ms. read as follows: ''AlI these
facts are really worth noting" The
printer, however, inserted an "h" into
the last word and it Was thus set up:
"All these facts are really worth moth
ing"
A provincial paper, IN reporting the
speech of celebrated politician, in.
tended to add as comment, land the
masses believed him, instead of which,
by typographical error, the addition
read, land them asses believed him. y
An enthusiastic editor wrote, "rhe
battle is now opened.n But alas; tse
composition spelled battle with an 20, >
and his readers said they had suspect
ed 1t all along.
A New York editor wrote AN obituary
| on a man of some prominence and
| among other things he said: HE be
gan life as legal practitioner, but was
diverted from it by love of bitters."
The Rev. DIR. Todd was given some
relics to present to a museum. In his
speech he alluded to the ELVES of the
saints" When his remarks were pub
lished they came out lilies on the
saints, and this so enraged the giver
of the relics that he demanded their re-
turn.
An instance of faithful effort to "fol-
low copy" occurred in New York
newspaper office. The reporter, who
wrote very bad vertical hand, put it
down that zigzag flashes of lightning
played among the clouds, and in the
proof it came out that 1919 900 flashes d
played among the clouds.
| A lecturer before a temperance so.
clety told his audience, in describing
his journeys. that he had merely had
"a taste of Naples and Rome.'' He was

ington of shaving bis head" "Shav-

Most readers will recOllect similar ex
amples. There ia the case of the learn
ell reporter who wrote: 1.-The bride
looked au fait.' 1t appeared "all
feet" Again the poet piped sadly of
the time,
when shall rest beneath the shaIe
with a weeping willow by my side.''
Imagine his horror when the lines
were printed:

nEEp NOT FEAR, on HoPE.

AS some people seemed to fear, or hope,
from what Secretary Taft said in his
speech at the st. Louis Fair, that the
United States government might in the
future transfer the Philippine Islands
to another power, the Secretary has
thought it necessary to explain that he
never had any such thought. He al
lluded in his speech to the fact that in
all the colonies railroads have been con-
structed by the governments of those
colonies. or the government has assist
ed in their construction by guarantee
ling the income on the investment. Con-
Isequently, in the light of this statement,
we may not look for the construction of
railroads in the Philippines except
through governmental construction or
Eaid. He then explained that the gov
ornamental construction would involve
a country in greatly more debt than the
mere guarantee of the income for a cer-
tain number of years, The bill which
has passed the House OF Representa-
tives authorizes the Philippine govern
ment, through the commission, to guar
|antee the incomes not exceeding per
cent. on the amount actually invested
in any railroad, for thirty years, but
also stipulates that provision must be
made in the contract of guarantee by
which there shall be secured to the gov
|ernment ultimately the repayment Of
'all the moneys paid under the guaran-
tee. ''In order to accentuate this ex-
PLANTATION" explains Secretary Taft, "I
went on to say that should the Philip
pine Islands be transferred to another
government the terms of the charter
could, of course, impose this obligation
on the new government, and would not
|implicate or bind the United States in
any way beyond the time of the break
