Typographical Blunders That Cause
Smiles or Frowns.


Smiles or Frowns.
When a leading London newspaper,
in noticing the floating Of new COM
mercial enterprise, spoke Of the Is
suing of 100000 snares at Ell each"
a statement, which, however true, was
hardly intentional, the splendid fury
of the promoters Of that enterprise
was fully balanced by the large satis-
faction, not to say glee, of its enc
mics, and no one stopped to think
that the innocent fact Of the close jux-
Imposition in which the letters IN
and m" stand to each other on the
typewriter of today or slip on the
part Of the typesetter in the compos-
ing room fully accounted for the "er-
ror." A typographical error may be
an evil thing. 1t is sometimes very
serious thing but 1t never fails Of be-
ing, from some point Of view, funny
to the last degree.
The presence of the typewriter in the
newspaper offices Of today has done
author, the editor and the compos-
positor. but the typewriter, with all
it's advantages, has no automatic pune
tuating device, and the virtue of the
comma is amply illustrated by the
Scotch divine, an extract from whose
sermon as it appeared in a local pa
per reads:
"Only last Sabbath, my friends. a
young woman died in this parish very
suddenly while 1 was endeavoring to
preach the word in state Of beast
ly intoxication."
And over a poem printed in a week
ly appeared the startling comment:
1.-The following verses were written
more than fifty years ago by gen.
tleman who has for fifteen years lain
in his grave for his own amusement" t"
Unusual handwriting, however, has
more to answer for than the vagaries
Of the typewriter. THE greater the
author the greater the scrawler" is
only too frequently true, and it Is not
always fair to put the blame for this
sort of blunder on the shoulders Of the
compositor. Carlyle and Balzac were
two whose copy few printers could
read and none would handle for more
than an hour at time. Victor Hugo
and Byron were impossibly bad pen
men, and Sydney Smith is quoted as
frankly saying:
II must decline reading my own
handwriting twenty-four hours after
have written it."-Washington Star.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-04-16

Quite a ifference.-President Far
rell of the United States Steel Cor
poration was discussing an interview
with a conferee, according to the
Washington Star.
My friend was misquoted," he
said, ''innocently misquoted, but the
misquotation, all the same, changed
the whole meaning of the argument
1T reminds me of an odd typo
graphical error. George Brown was
to marry Mary Jones, and the local
paper in announcing the marriage,
said:
"George and Mary have been
chums from childhood
But the compositor made this
read:
"'George and Mary have been
chumps from childhood"

Mayor of Ogden.

Mr., Eccles was lifelong Repu blcan.

avoid holding public office. He served

administration the Ogden city hall was
constructed.
