Typographical errors are sure to creep
into the best regulated papers. A Chicago
paper recently contained column article
concerning the recovery of the famous
painting Mona Lisa which had been stolen
about year ago. The painting had been
somewhat scratched during its absence, and
the newspaper man wrote as his head lines;
'sMona Lisa MARRIED While in Hands of
Thief When the paper appeared, the
public was startled to see that Mona Lisa
was MARRIED while in hands of thief.-So
you see dear reader that occasional slips of
proof reading or proof correction occur in
other papers as we'll as the Mirror.
