Show Horace Greeley Disliked Being Disillusioned Horace Greeley, famous editor of the old New York Tribune, was notoriously absent-minded. One cold Sunday morning. Mr. Greeley stepped into the Tribune office after church. Taking off his boots, he sat down before one of the hot-air registers to warm his feet and read the papers. After a while the janitor happened hap-pened by and, seeing the boss there, exclaimed: "There's no heat coming up from downstairs, Mr. Greeley. The boiler is being fixed." The editor glowered at the man. "You fool," he yelled. "What did you want to tell me that for? I was just getting nice and warm!" |
