WHERE A NEWSPAPER MAN
LOST A GOOD JOB BY BI LL
One of the best stories about typo
graphical errors is told by a New
York newspaper man who was at the
time a proofreader on the Dallas
i Commercial. He lost his job through
the carelessness of the foreman in
making two sets of “Y" copy and
hanging it on the hook at the same
i time, says the St. Louis Republic.
The mistake resulted in about the
funniest “bull” ever heard of, by rea
son of the fact that the separate
takes fitted together without a break.
Tom Ochiltree, the red-haired ex
! congressman and famous desciple of
the science hyperbole made a speech
at the opera house on the evening in
question, and on the afternoon of the
j same day a mad dog had been killed
i in the streets. Perhaps fate recog
nized an affinity between Ochiltree
and a mad dog. At any rate the first
“take” of the Ochiltree report and
the second “take” of the mad-dog
item got mixed, and this is the way
the two paragraphs appeared in the
paper the next morning:
“Hon. Thomas P. Ochiltree lectur
ed at the opera house last night to
an audience that was inclined to be j
indulgent. Before the hour set for j
the lecture the familiar figure of the '
eloquent Texan was prominent on
the stage, where he. sat talking to
the colonel. Promptly at 8 o’clock j
the colonel arose and in a few ap- 1
! propriate remarks introduced the ,
j speaker of the evening, who bowed
and advanced to the front of the
| stage.
“With his tail tucked between his ,
legs he began to howl, to snarl, and 1
! snap at everything in sight. He j
frothed at the mouth, he slobbered j
and he pouted. His long and ugly j
tongue hung out nearly a foot over i
j his left jawbone. It was black and ;
heavy. A citizen recognizing that in
. such a condition he was a menace to ;
life, fished out a Colt’s revolver from j
his hip pocket. A sharp, whiplike j
report rang out. and a ball penetrat
ed the brute’s left eye. He gave an
agonized yell, fell over on his side,!
j and expired.”
