EDITORIAL VIEWS
READING PROOF.
Chicago Evening Post

Chicago Evening Post)
The Scientific American, in a long
review of a scientific work recently
put forth by a well-klown man in the
course of his researches, complained
Of the extraordinary typographical
errors which married the volume. The
name of certain well-known scien-
fist, for example, was spelled four diff
ferent ways on four nearby pages.
This condition moved the Scientific
American to the savage assertion that
"a competent proof reader is no longer
possession OF even the best printing
Offices in the land
Is that true? We think not
There has been lot of sentiment
spilled around in Ben Franklin circles
over the "old-time proof reader" One
can go into any city in the country
and, by edging up close to the places
some veteran proof reader referred to
respectfully and affectionately as the
last Of the old school of proof readers"
We used 10 take this rather serious
ly and anxiously ourselves until We
began to see that the odd school" had
everlasting vitality. AS fast as the
last of the old school, dropped off
some junior moved sedately into the
vacant place. Any proof reader with
gray hair and steady habits can easily
earn the sobriquet of the last of the
old school of proof readers" if he will
take the trouble to be seen at the
public library once in a while, as
though severely verifying dates, or if
he will walk around with a volume of
Shakespeare under his arm. Then the
rest of the printing world will say that
''old Bill Jones can't breathe outside
his work." and when he dies the
egoistic, self-centered writing fellows
of themselves to remark: "Ah, Bill,
he certainly was a grand proof reader
They don't make 'em like him any
more"
We dwell on this point because it
shows, for one thing, that the printing
world is rather prone to get a roman
tic perspective on it's own affairs, and
is always dismissing the last compe-
tent proof reader" to that bourne
whence no traveller, and so forth The
reviewer in the Scientific American
shared this fallacy, We think, when he
made his sweeping declaration that no
printing Office in the country is equip
ped with proof readers of requisite
training and ability.
What he should have said was that
there are too many publishers who
like to farm out" their proof reading
to home workers of no particular train
ing or capacity. This is a tendency in
the publishing trade which is chiefly
responsible for the -four different
spellings of a well-known name on
four nearby pages"

BARNUM AND JENNY LIND.

How the Great Snowman Secured the
Swedish Nightingale"
The site of Iranistan. with it's Moor
ish towers and minarets, was engraved
upon the letterheads of ?. T. Barnum
and was the one thing which attracted
Jenny Lind when he wrote seeking to
engage her for an American tour In
fact, she confessed that it was this pic
ture that determined her coming to
America.
Jenny Lind contracted to come to
America in 1s49, the Swedish Night
ingale" agreeing to sing at $50 concerts
for 500, 600, all travelling expenses paid.
After she arrived in America Jenny
Lind asked Mr.. Barnum when and
where he had heard her sing. and upon
receiving the answer that he had never
had the pleasure of seeing her before
in his life, she asked, How did you
risk so much money on a person whom
you never heard singf"
II risked it," calamity answered Mr.
Barnum. ION your angelic character
and reputation, feeling that you would
please the American public"
Then began campaign OF advertis-
ing to prepare the people for the ap-
pearance OF Jenny Lind. Two hundred
dollars was offered as a prize for an
ode entitled "a Greeting to America"
to be sung by Jenny Lind. and the
award was won by Bayard Taylor No
singer who has ever appeared in the
country has secured more enthusiastic
welcome than Jenny Lind. all because

WALKED HIMSELF INTO HEALTH.
BY JAMES A. EDcERTON
We do not walk enough.

We do not walk enough.
The automobile, trolley, railroad and
other means of transit have robbed US
Of the most healthful and pleasurable
OF exercises
Here is Il story of a man who used
walking as a medicine. 1t made him
we'll.
His name is Robert E. Hillman, and
he lives in Waterville Me. Six years
ago, when Hillman was twenty-four
years old his doctors told him that he
had not more than six months to live.
He was in an advanced stage Of tuber
culosis.
A friend advised him to get plenty
Of fresh air; get out and walk, eat veg
etables and drink plenty of water and
fresh milk"
HiIlman followed his friends coun-
sci. He started to walk and kept 1t up
for six years. He walked across the
continent and most of the way back.
To pay his way he sold a kitchen
utensil. Last December he arrived in
Memphis, from where he took train
back to his old home in Waterville He
not only made enough from his sales
to keep him the six years, but had suf-
ficient surplus to buy his ticket and
then some.
Better still, he had his health. Ply
sicians pronounced him a well man
and said he could live anywhere.
He had returned to natures RENE
dies-wholesome exercise, the sweet air
of the out of doors, plenty Of food.
Walking is good not only for sick
people, but for well people. 1t keeps
them we'll
1t exercises practically every muscle
Of the body. 1t causes us to breathe
into the bottoms of the lungs.
1t is a sovereign cure for dyspepsia
and kindred Ills, for it whets the edge
of appetite. stimulates digestion and
tones up the whole system.
Robert Hillman walked away from
death. In the race his grisly majesty
dropped farther and farther to the rear
until at last he was out of the running.
The young man did more than save
his life. He showed a fine type Of
courage in taking up humble calling
He made friends all over the land. He
came to know his country more init
mately than he could have done in any
other way. He gained the respect of
MI who know him. He set a worthy
example for others to follow, which in
Itself is high privilege.

What that solemn dirge, that strikes my ear?
What those mournfu sounds-why shines the tear?
Why toll the bells the awful kneI of fate?
Ah!-why those signs that do fancy safe!
Whereer turn, the general gloom appears
Those mourning badges fill my soul with fears;
Hark!-Yonder rueful noise!-tis done!-tis done!-
The silent tomb invades WASHINGTON!-
Must virtues exalted, yield their breath?
Must bright perfection find relief in death?
Must mortal greatness fall?-a glorious name!-
What then is riches, honor and true fame?
The august chief, the father and the friend,
The generous patriot-Let the muse commend;
Columbia's glory, and Mount Vernons pride,
There lies enshrined with numbers at his side =
There let the sigh respondent from the breast
Heave in rich numbers let the glowing zest,
Of tears resugent beam with grateful love;
And sable mourning our affiction prove.
Weep!-kindred mortals-weep!-no you'll find,
A man so just, pure, so firm in mind;
Rejoicing Angels, hail the heavenly sage.

New Stories of Prominent Men

The new chief of the weather bu-
reau, Charles Frederick Marvin, has
a, little story which he is now telling
to show the absurdity of the general
prejudice against the weather bu-
reau's prophecies.
1.-THE complaints he said. (which
you constantly hear about our
guessing contests. are crystallized in
a little conversation which I heard
recently between a cynic and an ar
dent young scientist in our office.
Bah, said the cynic. You people
always and invariably guess wrong
You feel sure about that2' asked
the young scientist.
Absolutely replied the cynic.
Then demanded the young scien-
tist triumphantly. what are you
complaining about? If We can al
ways guess wrong you certainly know
exactly what TO do by going opposite
directions"
No one in the world knows the
troubles of the office seekers better
than Joseph Tumulty. the secretary
to the President. While every con-
gresham has the woes of several
hundred or possibly several thousand
Office seeking constituents on his
mind, each of the legislators takes
the problems to the White House,
where they are dumped in landslide
fashion or the blond head of Mr..
Tumulty, who therefore, gets the
griefs OF a nation of unsatistied
politicians.
He was sitting in his bright and at
tractiye office, which overlooks the
south lawn of the White House as IL
slopes gently toward the Washington
Monument one day, and there en-
tered a Democrat of long experience.
He was a congressman who is known
to be as immovsbe in his Demo-
cratic principles as the foundations
