Props and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains
neitherxfipium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is Its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.
Many (irotesque and Ludicrous Oflon
Fvuhd In Newspapers.
11- red (i. Xeuiftan in Fsad-ueah, Ken
tucky' Evening Sun.)
(Jrotesque unt! laugh provoking ?
what i*s funnier than a typographical
?*rr??r in a newspaper? Some of the
finest jokes extant come (through the
fact Hint the printer's fingers slip.
I'MMlly these mistakes or ''breaks"
are funny a long, long time after
ward?never at the time. For in
stance, several years ago a newspaper
was threatened with suit because an
article was printed about a. prima
donna being engaged as a screen star
to aet In the movies. A typographical
error made the heading road, "Scream
Star Was Once Singer.'' To he sure,
then* was considerable excitement in
rlu? editor's sanctum before the vo
t"<!i.sf eoufd be pacified- And yet. no
"iic detests the sight of an> error more
i!i:m the e<litor'himself. If some one
rould invent or suggest a way for for
ever doing away, with mistakes?could
make infialliblo the columns of a news
p.ijM'i- tbt' public itself would probably
feel (imstrained to give that individ
ual a loving cup and every communi
ty would feel like namiiig streets in
!.i ? honor.
Suppose your nanje i* Haske.
V\??uld you not feel <a bit jieeved should
V" i find in a hK-al paper tliat an ''It"
?oi inadvertently placed it?self where
an Jf' ought to be? You would cer
tainly not 1m? able to extract as much
niiiiNement from such an incident as
>? iir neighbors; but your position
?uuld be no more embarrassing than
that <>f . an American who lurid -been
ot a tour around the world and found
hims'lf much annoyed with a reporter
who had written "Ills numerous
f'.'rnds are surprised that, he Is un
Iiiinsed !" He sped to the newspnp<?r
"?ffiee and in his fury could hare,
j nabbed tJie ulotriclxnis editor by his
wooiv hair, but learned that the of- i
fryider wa? the txji?j)osiU)r. who, In
iiiji the rej)ort lwd omitted the (
:'er 'V" bus substituting the word,
unhanged" for "unchanged,'' which,
reporter had written. Only re-'
"??ntly a somewhat, elaborated personal'
tel'ing of a .young lady's visit and de
parture said "she made many fiends
while hero." the fact tlwit flu ?"r"
fulled in the personal noun gives
the sentence an entirely differ
ent meaning than that Intended.
A Buffalo imper, in describing the
scene 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 witness
es, took his simple bath?meaning
oath, of course. Hut ]>erhaps the
most unfortunate error (appearing re
cently protruded itself from the col
umns of a Bridgeport Connecticut
newspaper last Angnst, in yie descrip
tion of a wedding. It read "The bride
carried an arm lnuiquet of ipunk
roses.'* "Pink" was the word intend
ed. but it seems the gods ar<* j>owor
lesss in the lirinds of the printer. Klse,
h<iw can one account for a display line
in an advertisement rending, "We
shot the entire family." when "shoe"
is more -profitable and healthful?
l/csw tnigic, but nearly as emlwirrass
ing was the experience of a rej>orter
who had been assigned to 'Vovcr" the
outdoor end of a fashionable church
wedding. He described the throng of
uninvited guests that had clustered
about the awning in hope of fining
a glimi>se of -the bridal pair a<* they
emerged from the church to enter a
waiting automobile, and he recorded
the result in the following words:
"The comely bride was quickly sweipt
from sight by the eager groom." Rut
the pitiless tyj>e set it forth thus:
"The homely bride 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 be confined to a
maid.
Only those who have gone through
an operation whicft is fresh in the
memory can appreciate the gravity?
and humor?of a ''break" in an Okla
homa daily. Mr. Blank, who was op
erated on for appendicitis," read an
item In the western paper. " is rap
idly recovering. Ills many friends
hope to see him cut again soon." The
same paper shortly afterward hit ended

lias tho liouisvllle pastor who took

his eliagrln upon seeing the auuouuco
ment In a daily that he would preach
about "Tile Broken Neck!" Indeed,
' It became mvessary on one omuilon
for a minuter to make explanation of
an orror appearing on tickets for an
entertainment, with which he was
charged with having printed. "I wish
It to he thoroughly understood," said
the preacher to his congregation on
Sunday. "that the .pulpit Is not respon

More than one Pfadueahan remem
bers the write-up of a social event
which occurred at Wallace Park sev
eral years ago. It was proven in tills
case that tlio err<\r was the fault of
an excited eportcr- Of course, the op
erator followed copy- In detail the
reporter told of the evening's pleas
ure, but iuarred the whole society
lead when he wrote, that "a suspicious
gathering \yas (present." Mvery one
knew "auspiciou^" was tile word In
tended. and laughed at the
"break" knowing 'ithat even the good
Homer sometimes nods.
The story 1* told of the mixing up
of two news items in a Washington
paper many years ug<>. The announce
ment that a minister was to he pre
sented with a token of appreciation by
bis congregation was printed. A
write-up of a newly ipatented pig-kill
ing machine whien had been demon
strated appeared in the same Issue.
This was the rather amusing result of
the two.stories lictng "pled up," as the
iprinters say: "Sever 1 of the Itev. I).
K. Mudge's friends called upon him
yesterday and after a conversation the
unsuspecting pig was seized by the
legs and slid along the beam Until ho
reached the hot-water tank-" It t(?ok
considerable explaining to set the edi
tor right that day. though he was In
nocent of Ihe mix-up.
John fvocke, the Irish i>oot. was
known as "The.Southern GhA" When
lie died an obituary appeared in one of
the Irish-American journals and re
ferred to him as "The Southern (J<a!c."
This was a-breezy transposition, to be
sure, and changing the meaning <*>n
siderably- The editor did not get ''in
bad" because the two letters were
transposed, though a .prominent. |s>li
tician did "howl" when he saw Intel
ligence of his resignation from pyblic
office (printed under the heading of
"Public Improvements." Hut the most
startling ridiculous transposition on
record i* probably that appearing on
t'he first page of a Chicago dal'y. for
''breaks" are certain to be displayed
in the most conspicuous iflnces. First
there was an article with this eaptidn.
tin* dash Septra ti??g the first- line of
n tbree-Une heading: The Condor of
the Andes?All>ert Seat?n "Berry, of
Kentucky, Hears That Distinction."
In another column, on the same i>ago
of the pai>er In question, was this an
nouncement : *T\allest Mian (in CVui
gress?Soars Far Above the IOagfe and
Reaches a Height of Six Miles."
The insertion, omission or substitu
tion of a single letter in a printed
word, or transposition of letters and
even whole lines of type as shown
nlwve, is. then, the cause of much
merriment and laughter?years after
ward. "Our delicious canned meats
from the* best houses," was the way
the advertiser wrote tho line. "From
the best horses" was the way It ap
peared in the paper, and complaint
was justified in becoming infuriated.
"Thousands of our patrons are -wear
ing trousers of our make," and the
tailors who so advertised had reason
to be angry when the printer made the
fourth word of their announcement
read "matron**." An Fnglish railway
company advertl*ed requesting owners
of unclaimed goods to remove same.
"Come forward and pay the awful
charges on your merchandise," were
the final words of the advertisement.
One "1" was missing In "lawful" and
thus the apnouncemont became a ty
pographical curiosity. A writer, in
commending the ability of a lady prin
cipal of a girls' school,' used this ex
pression, 'The reputation for which
she bears.'* But that horrid linotype
operator omitted the word "Which"
and the error created more than a gig
