An Eastern editor says: at is easy
to overlook typographical error in
reading proofs, but when it gets into
the paper it looms up like fat lady in
a crowd of vegetarians." Every
printer will sympathize with the St
Joseph, Mo-, publisher who in putting
into type an announcement of "Fresh
dairy butter for sale daily" acciden,
tally substituted a letter h for the d in
dairy" No doubt it aggravated the
grocer in whose ad it appeared, but
most people will agree that when he
fired load of buckshot at the printer
his objection was rather too emphatic
Speaking of errors, the real wonder
is that more do not appear. Many
thousands of separate pieces of metal
must be handled for every paper, and
it is a human impossibility to abso-
lutely avoid mistakes.
