"Who thinks so?" queried Harry, t

Timothy lauglied a little pout peons- j

Still the look ot wonder and surprise ;
did not leave Harry's lace. "Hut
what old gentleman do yon mean?''
he asked. "I didn't know there was

Timothy shouted. '"Ha, ha ; ho, j

"You are Just right it is." Tun re
sponded, shipping his knee, as he laid

The look of wonder on Harry's face
changed to one of unmistakable dis

"I would he tuiJIomw to call my fath
er any of those names," he said.
Timothy Inuidied iijiaiii, boister
ously.
"1 suppose you would always, say
my AoHoiW wrtif," he sneered. "Yon
would ; oh. ye

"Xo. shouldn't say that," Harry
gait), calmly. "I should say my nffar,
or just father; hut I would sooner al
ways call him an honored parent than
to use such words as, uld mun, or joe

responded, a little Scornfully, "But
you see as Imys that hoys grow old

"Well, it's a mean, low fashion,"
Harry cried, spiritedly, "and just (it

"Oh, well, you arc green and spoon

exanstible while printers are fallible
and editors write with abominable in
difference to legibility. One of Ihc
urns astonishing blunders of this kind
was committed some years ago in an
editorial in the Bulletin. The writer,
wlio had cautioned his readers against
"casting tlieir K'.lrls iH'fotv theswhie, "
was amazed and grieved to perceive
that the compositor had warned the
public against "eating pills before sun
rise." 'I his was corrected lit the proof,
hut the reporter who declared of a cer
tain new store that had "sixty fancy
windows," was. even more Indignant
than the rtotvkeeuer when he saw In his
paper tlie statement that the establish
UH'lit contained "sixty faded win
dows." And then there was tlie poet,
in Muncy who 'sought to smooth the
wounded feelings ot a bereaved family
by publishing in the local paper a io
etlottl tribute to the deceased daughter,
Kinlly, in which he declatvd thai "we
will hallow her grave with our tears."
He was pursued next morning hv Kmi
ly'i) extispi-nited brother beuuise the
printer insisted that "we will harrow
her grave with our steers."
The poets suffer most deeply. Noth

the misery to tin; banl who asserted,
in his copy, tliat lie "kissed her under

' eoiopositor compelled him to "kick
her under the cellar stairs." A cer

all aggravated assault, because when.
In his report tfa wedding he decjtired
that "the bride was accompanied to

while writing a sympathetic paragraph
obicrvedthat "Mr: Smith could lianl

In his dream he saw a pyramid
