Show AN EDITOR MAKES A MISTAKE p 0 p "We made- a mistake in last week's paper," said an editor of an eastern sheet. "The reason we know was that a subscriber sub-scriber who hates us anyway, took particular occasion to tell us and every one else he knew about it." "Well, for that matter there are some others who make 'em too. We went to the post office that morning and there was a letter that didn't belong to us somebody made that mistake. We called for 98 over the 'phone; got 8S somebody made that one. We asked for a spool of fifty thread and when we gut home, it was sixty somebody made that one. The train was reported forty minutes late, and we went down there In thirty minutes of the time it was on time for. only to find it had come and gone somebody made that one. We felt sick nnd the doctor told ps we were eating too much meat, and by Ding, being a struggling and poor editor, we hadn't touched meat for four months- somebody made that one. And one day somebody praised the paper, and said it was a wonder we didn't really make more mistakes and our widow is finishing this to say that somebody made that one for the blow killed him."
