Show Bad Handwriting Annoying; Then Again Very Funny! -- : i. i r 'Fire the Blundering Idiot f Got a Job for The Intended Victim . i 1.: IF YOU question a friend's pro-- 1 nunciation of a particular word and set him right he will wait as patiently as an angler to trip you 19 when you blunder. Tell him, however, that his writing is illegible and he win accept your criticism with pleasure. Its a popular idea that because good handwriting is no mark of a genius a poor fist is. ni Such reasoning sounds convincing when we remember that men cf genius are the greatest offenders against the canons of good handwriting. When they are taken to task for it they plead in defense that their thoughts flow faster than their pens. Medical men attribute their scrawl to the fact that in their student days longhand notes they had at shorthand speed. to-tak- e Napoleons handwriting was anything but copperplate. It is said that a love letter written to Was Self-Preservati- Farmer's First Thought The old farmer and his wife visited the menagerie. When they halted before the hippopotamus cage, he remarked, Darnd curious fish, eh, ma? That aint no fish, she announced, thats a reptile!" And so the argument began. It progressed to such a point of violence that the woman began belaboring the husband with her umbrella. The man dodged and ran, with the wife in pursuit. Finding the door of the lions cage slightly ajar, he popped in and cowered behind the biggest lion. On the other side of the bars stopped his wife, and shaking her umbrella at him, shouted, Cowardl i'i m r s - : s Josephine during one of his campaigns was, on first examination, thought to be a plan of a battlefield. If this story- - be true one does not require a large pinch of salt to swallow the story about the doctor whose private note to a chemist asking for the loan of a shotgun and shells was interpreted si a prescription. The handwriting of many literary men is extremely difficult to read. A famous author whose hand" was execrable threatened to dismiss a compositor who, in the setting up of his script, always had a crop of typographical blunders. When the compositor turned He promised him his daughter in marriage, into He promised him his torture in March, the author sent a note to the foreman ordering him to dismiss the compositor. The latter managed to obtain possession of the note, and went to a rival firm with it. Nobody could read the note, so the compositor said he would, and this is what he read out: Highly efficient compositor. I can recommend Mr. X with every confidence. He was put on the firms payroll immediately! A famous artist once wrote to the duke of Wellington for permission to examine and paint his beeches. The handwriting in the letter was almost illegible to the duke. He replied in a courteous letter, saying that for the life of him, he could not understand how anyone should desire to examine, much less paint, his breeches. There is a story told of the president of a railway company who once wrote to a man threatening to take legal proceedings against him unless he ceased trespassing on his property. He used the letter as a free pass on the railway. AROUND THE HOUSE Tootle the Horn I From the Japanese Highway When a passenger of Code: the foot hoves in sight, tootle the horn.
