The Typographical Error.

The Kewanee, H., Star Courier calls
to the fact that the typo
error is on the rampage and
suggests that it be arrested on sight.
1t is the greatest criminal extant and
gets more newspapers into trouble
than all the rest of their enemies put
together. None is immune. The dis
tressing feature is that the typograph-
ical error invariably puts in it's APP
pearance in the place where it can do
the most harm. By way of Illustration,
the Kewanee paper cites the fact that
in Saturday Evenings Mail of Gales
burg special attention was given to a
report of a sermon there at a Union
Lenten service at the First Bap-
fist church by Chicago pastor, who
had been invited to come to Gales
burg for the occasion. The editor who
made up the heading for the article
wrote:
Sermon by Frank
Newall White. ID. D."
The paper. when it came off the
press, had it:
Lemon by Frank

Least Resistance.

Teach your boy by precept.
Practice is SO hard
Stead of an example
Bring him up by card.
Tell him that the only
Way to struggle through
Is the way you tell him.
Not the way you do.
Posing as a model
Every blessed day
Isn't easy shedding
Nor exactly play.
But II isn't very
Straining, you'll allow.
Or fatigue inducing
If you tell him how.
And If he depended
For lis etiquette
On your daily conduct
lie would lose the be,,
But II you will only
Point 10 him the way
Plain and clear he cannot
Greatly so astray.
Being prim and proper,
That the boy may see
Isn't easy going.
AS you will agree,
But il is a trifie
Small for any one
To inform the youngster
How IL should be done.

their capture. The consul at Managua

OWNER OF
MONEY IS
HAPPY NOW

John Strom and Katie Strom, s02
Johnston street. were made happy yes
terday when William Stieglitz of the
Hub Clothing store returned two $40
bills and a pocketbook, which had been
left in the store.
The pocketbook was lost between z
and 9 o'clock on Wednesday. When
the Stroms came into the store the next
day, Mr.. stieglitz asked Mr.. Strom If
he had lost anything.
Strom did not make a reply Later
on he and his wife came back into the
store and with tears in their eyes
claimed to have lost the purse. Mr..
Stieglitz feared that this was a ruse to
gain possession of the money. He was
strengthened in this belief by the fact
that Strom did not know how much
money was in the purse or what the de-
nomination of the bills were.
Yesterday he took the precaution to
advertise the pocketbook in the paper
In the belief that the real owner would
claim it. There was no answer, and
finally Stieglitz became convinced that
the Stroms were the real owners Of the
purse. 1t was returned to them yes
terday.
