GROTESQUE TYPO-ERRORS FOUND IN NEWSPAPERS Linc'ype Gels Blar.ic for Many z Laugh-Frovoker?Some of the i Mistakes Recited i (Fred (1. Xc*a:r.:i:: in Paducra, Kon tucky, Evening Sun.) Grotesque and laugh provoking? what is funnier than a typographical ! error in a newspaper? Some of the i finest jokes extant come through the > I fact that the printer's finger slips i Usually, these mistakes or '"breaks' ! * / are funny a long, long time after i ward?never at the time. For in 1 stance, several years ago a newspa! per v:aj threatened with suit because ' an article was printed about a prima denna being engaged as a screen sta: to act in the movies. A typographical ercor made the heading read "Scream Star Was Once Singer." Tc be sure there was considerable ex citement in the editor's sanctum before the vocalist could be pacified And yet, no one detests the sight oi an error more than the editor himself. If seme one could invent oi j suggest a way to forever do awaj ! with mistakes?could make infallible |! the columns of a newspaper?the 11 public itself would probably feel con strained to give that individual a loving cup and every community would feel like naming streets in his honor, Suppose your name is Haskle. Would you not feel a bit peeved should you find in a local paper that an "R" had inadvertently placed itself where an "H" ought to be? You would certainly not be able to extract as much amusement from such an incident as your neighbors; but your position would be no more embarrassj ing than that of an American who had been for a tour around the world I and found himself much annoyed | with what a reporter had written which ended: "His numerous friends are surprised that he is unhanged!" He sped to the newspaper office and in his fury could have grabbed the ulctrichous editor by his wooly hair, .";ut learned that'the offender was the compositor, who, in setting up the report had omitted the letter "c," thus 1 substituting the word "unhanged" for "unchanged," which the reporter had written. Only recently a.some what elaborated personal telling- of a young lady's visit and departure said, "she made many fiends while here," the fact that an "r" failed in the personal noun, giving the sentence an entirely different meaning than that intended.' A Buffalo' paper, in describing the r rfcene when Roosevelt took the oath of office as president, said it was a spectacle never to be forgotten when Roosevelt, before the chief justice of the supreme court and a few witnesses took his simple bath?meaning oath, of course. But perhaps the most unfortunate error appearing recently protruded itself from the columns of a Bridgeport, Connecticut, newspaper last August, in the description of a wedding. It read, "The bride carried an arm bouquet of punk roses." "Pink" was the word intended, but it seems the gods are powerless in the hands of the printer. Else, how can one account for a display line in an advertisement reading, "We shot the entire family," when "shoe" is more profitable and healntful? T osc +no-ic. hut nearlv as embas rassing was the experience of a reporter who had been assigned to "cover" the outdoor end of a fashionable churdh wedding. He describthe throng of uninvited guests that had clustered about the awning in hope of gaining a glimpse of the bridal pair as they emerged ""from the, church to enter a waitnig automobile, and he recorded the result in the following words: "The comely bride was quickly swept from sight by the eager groom." But the pitiless type set it forth thus: "The homely ibride was quickly swept from sight by the eager groom." One's sympathy for the reporter is lessened, however, by the fact that he applied to a newly married man a term that should oe confined to a maid. Only those who have gone through an operation which is fresh in the memory can appreciate the gravity? and humor?of a "break" in an Oklahoma daily. "Mr Blank, who was; operated on for appendicitis," read j an item in the western paper, "is rapidly recovering. His many friends hope to sec him cut again soon." The same paper shortly afterward intended to state that the windows on a certain street in the town needed washing, and the "n" was omitted I % -r^ , , i i j - j in "windows:" isut tnc wjuows u:u I not have nearly as much of a grievance against the printers as the clergyman in the eastern part of Kentucky who preached on the subject. 'The Cud in Joseph's Sack." The town weekly's linotype operator made the reverend gentleman talk about "The Cup in Joseph's Sock." If the widows and this clergyman have i cause for protest, so has the Louisville pastor who took his text, "The Broken Net." Imagine his chagrin I J unon sce::ig the announcement 121 a 1; daily that he would preach about {''The Broken Neck!'' Indeed, it be1 i'nu' !icce-s:;ry on one occasion for ;; minister to make explanation of an , erroi* appearing: on tickets for an eni tertainment with which he was charz. I ed with having printed. "I wish it t-.> i be thoroughly understood/' said the . preacher t> his con'-'T^ation on Sun[! day. "that the pulpit is not rpsponsi. ble for the printer's error which oc; i curs on the tickets for the Sunday .. -chool children's entertainment. Tiu _ lL. ti1(. 3IIHII" IS !

In detail the > : reporter told of the evening's pleas j are but marred the whole society j lead when ho wrote that "a suspicious .; Catherine: was present." Every one ' j !;new that "auspicious" was the word j intended and laughed at the "break" ' j 'mowing that eve" the good Homer 'j sometimes nod?. 'i The story is told of the mixing up ' j of two news items in a Washington! ; paper many years a^o. The an "l rcuncement that a minister was to bo ' presented with a token of apprecia tion by his congregation was printed. A write-up of a newly patented pig-; killing machine which had been demonstrated appeared in a newspaper. I i This was the rather amusing result of I !j the two stories being "pied up" as the ;i printers say: "Several of the Rev. D. K. Murine's friends called upon him yesterday and after a con vers?.-1 t:.on the unsuspecting: pig was seised 1J by the legs and slid along the beam j until he reached the hot-water tank." lit took considerable exolaining tj set ? - ? like editor right that day, though he (was innocent of the mix-up. I John Locke, the Irish poet, was !:nown as "The Southern Gael." When he died an obituary appeared in one of the Irish-American journals and referred to him as "The Southern Gale." This was a very breezy transposition, to be sure, and changed the meeting considerably. The editor did not get "in bad" because the two letters were transposed, though a I ir/imi'notif rvnl'fipii?n rlirl ''Iinw!'' whor. j he saw intelligence of his resignation' : from public office printed under the J heading of "Public Improvements." j But the most startling ridiculous S transposition on record is probably that appearing on tfic first page of a Chicago daily, for "breaks" are certain to be displayed in the most conspicuous places. First there was an article with this caption, the dash j separating the first line of a three ; line heading:* "The Condor of the I Andes?Albert Seaton.- Berry of Kenj fcuckv Bears That Distinction." In j ! another column, on the same page of I the paper in question, was this announcement: "'Tallest Man in Congress?Scars Far Above the Eagle and Reaches a Height of Six Miles.' The insertion, omission or substitution of a single letter-in a printed word, or transposition of letters and even whole lines of type as showr. above, is, then, the cause of mucl" merriment and laughter?years afterward. ''Our delicious canned mea:> from the best houses" was the wa\ the advertiser wrote the line. ''From the best horses" was the way it appeared in the paper, and complainant was justified in becoming infuriated. "Thousands of our patron.1 are wearing trousers of our make/ and the tailors who so advertised had reason to be angry when the printe; made the fourth word of their announcement read "matrons." An ITnorlicVi railiva v r?r.r.irm ri v requesting owners of unclaimed goods to remove same. ''Come forward and pay the awful charges or ycur merchandise" were the ?na! words of the advertisement. One "1'' was missing in "lawful," and thus the announcement became a typographical curiosity. A writer, in commending the ability of a lady principal of a girls' School, used this expression: "The reputation for which she bears." But that horrid linotype operi ator omitted the word "which" and the result created more than a giggle. A theatrical man not long since contemplated writing an article on "Greenwood Cemetery's Dramatic Shrines." A Brooklyn paper announced his intention, and left the "r" out of "shrines." Few people know that Ada Re ban's real name was Crehan. Early in her career her name appeared on a program without the "C*?typographical error ?and she was known ever after as Jtohan. The telephone was partly responsible responsible for a curious error on a ribbon for a wreath which a mourner intended to place on the grave of a friend. "Please print 'Rest in Peace' on both sides" was the order to the printer over the phone, and the ribbon when finished bore the inscription ''Rest in Peace o.n B:>th Sides." This ludicrous error was caused through the printer's ignor-( \ i I , M |M,|||, r II ! Ill I I a? III ;:nci, of course, though the sen tone truly ambiguous. "On with tii ihivc; let joy be uncofiined," was th way one linotype operator showd that he was not acquainted with th ?ft-quoted line from Byron's "Child Harold.*' Cardinal Gibbons, in an interview a few years ago, told a story of P. G . Gilnioee and his band. "Gilmore. . said the cardinal, "was famous fo his playing of Mozart's 'Twelft Mass.' On one occasion he played i , in a North Carolina town and th i next day the local paper announce! that he rendered with great effec i "Mozart's 'Twelfth Massachusetts.' : The story reminds one of the type setter who eternally "improved no hi I i copy as written, by the reporter. J | young -couple were married at nuptia 1 mass in a Georgia city, but he kne\ I better?he made it ''Nuptial, Mas?.' Besides the typographical error j with which all newspapers are famil : iar. glaring inconsistencies oftei j make apologies necessary. For ex ample, a New York daily once an nounccd that a famous singer hai contracted a cold and would be un able to appear at a scheduled con cert. The item appeared on the sam page with a cold-cure dvertisement It is certain the advertising manage had to do a lot of explaining, for th' cold-cure advertisement contained : signed testimonial from the self same singer! i ~ " !
