Omission of Few Words in
Ad Causes Comical ' Mistake
Editor of the Lake Andes (S.; D.), Courier Makes
Apology for One of the Most Amusing Errors
' Ever Seen in Any Newspaper. - '
. Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 20.
(SpeciaLJ-HThe editor of The Lake
Andes Courier has had to make an
apology for one of the most amusing
instances on record of how the
sense and meaning of a sentence
can be altered by the omission of a
few words. 1
A Lake Andes merchant sent the
Courier copy for an advertisement,
which, among other things, con
tained these words: "I bought my
goods last February when every
thing went to the bottom, and I
am going to sell you this line of
goods at a reasonable price, not at
the high, market price of today."
The compositor who "set" the ad-

vertisement, when he reached the
above sentence, accidentally omit
ted the words "a reasonable price,
not at." The result was that when"
the" advertisement appeared in the
newspaper the sentence read thus:
"I boturht my rood iMt February
when tverythlnir wtnt to the button,
and I am going; to Mil you tb.lt Um

today."
When the paper appeared on the
streets and a copy fell Into the f
hands of the merchant he,needless V
to say, lost no time in making his
way to the newspaper office and '
demanding an explanation.

The old man nonchalantly took
the money with the announcement.
''Well boys, prices . are going up

The Bumble Bee, roused to action
by pitiful stories of suffering among
landlords, especially those of apart
ment houses in Omaha, has decided
to take action.
A fund will be started today 1o
assist the most needy of the land
lords and their families. ; ,
Contributions will be gladly
ceived. .
The most crying needs of the
landlords are automobiles of the
more expensive kinds, steam yachts,
diamonds (not smaller than three
karats)j " well-improved farms and
similar necessities. . '
Readers of The Bumble Bee hav

L to two months ago John Buck,
formerly general manager of the
- Ston Brewing company, was a regu
lar "sity filer," dressing incity
c'.othea just like other tDmahans.
: Then he became part owner of the
Northwestern hotel in Lusk, Wyo.,
(-swing. He resigned his position here
and went to Lusk on July S to en
gage in the hotel business. He has
just returned to visit 4iis family at
2007 Sherman avenue. They gasped
when they saw him. '
? He wore a suit of corduroy. He
wore cowboy boots with his trousers
tucked into the tops of them. AmM
he wore one of these two-story Stet
son hats that weigh about two
pounds and have an eight-inch ver-
anda running all around them in
place of a brim, and a platted horse
hair band. ,
- He was complete for 'a "Bill"
.; Hart parti with the exception of the
belt, holster and .45 gun.
The hat is all the more marvel
ous because, when he lived here, he
indulged a fad of going about with
out any hat at all.
. Now he is astonishing his family
with "tall" tales about the west. He
soeaks of himself and the Luskites
as "we westerners" and likes to
speak of Omaha as part of "the
east." -
"We westerners," he says, "have
to go around armed 'all the time.
Of course, I shoot three lor four
men every morning before break
fast. I do that just to get up an
appetite."

they know he's, only "joshing"

Charlie Plotts, turnkey at the cen

operate the P.' B. X. at the station.
Such were his duties Wednesday
night when one of the police report
ers was at lunch. Time 11 p. m.

to find out if anything had happen

Mr. Dough is owner of the "In
somnia," "Diminutive," "Cramped
Up" and "El Indigestible" apart
ment houses.
The case of I. M. Getting Myne
was even more pitiful. Mr. Myne
at present is living in a seven-room
apartment in his "James Brothers"
apartment. He recently sold his 1(h
room home for much more than it
cost him.
"I am a man of simple habits" he
said. "By raising the rents of my
other tenants in the 'Jam Broth

income from this house as I did be

and found nearly all of them with
less than three automobiles.
One poor fellow wis found who
declared that his income ' last year
waf less than $20,000 from his three
apartment houses. -
But how do you live? inquired
the chairman of the committee.
"I had a hard time," he said.

Believed the Only
uood Englishmen Are
Those Who Are Dead
In an amusing article dealing with
New York, Frederick Martin, a vet
eran newspaper man, relates the fol
lowing story in the September Wide
World magazine. I was discussing
Mr. Hearst one day with a journal
ist who didn't - work for him, he
writes, and he expressed the opinion
that this proprietor of so many anti-
English newspapers was himself
really an admirer of England and
that he-only raved about England's
"misdeeds" as a pure matter of busi
ness, to cater for the very large ahjti
EngHsh public in the country.
"You've seen that picture of Wash
ington at Barney Flynn's, haven't
you?" he asked.
I had been in Flynn's saloon in
the Bowery, but I hadn't noticed any
picture, and I told him so.
"I haven't been in there for a long
time," he said, "and it may not be
there now; but the story about it is
just as good as if you had seen it
It was a picture of General Wash
ington on a white horse. . He was
shown as waving a particularly murderous-looking
. sword, and at the
horse's feet was a huddled up Eng
lish soldier who was as dead as a
Westphalia ham. The picture was
done as a" wall decoration, and at
first it was merely intended to be
a portrait. The addition of the dead
Engjishman came about at the sug
gestion of Flynn, Who, when he saw
it first, asked the artist who it was
supposed to be. , "
"Who is ut?"- repeated the shocked
artist. "Who else could it be but
Washin'ton?'! - x
"Washin'ton?" said the bewildered
Barney.. "Who the h is Wash

freed this country from th' English."
"He bested th' Enirlish. .did he?"
said Flynn, and looked admiringly
at the-Father o'f his Country.

piruse, "you paint me a good Eng

Bertillon Picture of Seven Years Ago Shows Smootly
, Unlined Features of a Neophyte Years Bring
the Hard-Lined Features and Steely Eyes of the;
Practical Criminal. ' ' ,
From the annals of the Bertillon
office at the central police station
comes the record of one Arthur
Nelson, claiming the United States
at large as his home. A week ago,
young Nelson was arrested for the
theft of an automobile belonging to
Edward Deamond.j 301 Seward
street He was bound over to dis
trict court under heavy bond nd is
now awating trial for the offense.
It was not until the unmanage
able lines of his 6nger tips were
imprinted on a filing card by means
of the . Bertillon system that the
police learned he had been "through
the mill" precisely seven years afeo.
f , From Dusty Files. .
L From dusty files, Nelson's" old
record was investigated. His photo
graph was combed from the thou
sands that -comprise the rogue's
gallery. , ''
Seven years ago, Nelsorf then a
mere youth, began a three-year term
in the penitentiary for highway rob
bery and burglary according to the
record. ...
, His latest arrest brought oppor
tunity for a comparison of both
stages in the young man's life.
The photograph, taken at the time
he was arrested fofjiis first crimes,
show the facial expression of- a
neophyte, an amateur, ignorant of
what crime really is, with soft eyes
as yet untouched with the hard lines
and steely glints ef the confirmed
criminal, and which seem to plead
for pity from the spectator.
Years Bring a Change. " V"
"Ya wouldn't think a kid like that t
'd do any stickin' up, would ya? re
marked a detective gazing at the
youth's picture. .
In contrast to this first imprint of
facial expression, his latest picture'
taken last week shows a decided
change in his personality. " -J;
Though resembling his former pic- "
ture, this late photograph of Nelson,
the man,; sets frtn more rugged
countenance. His cheeks are sunken,
chin alert and mouth set at a sharp
angle. The "hard" appearance the
youth acquired during his term be
hind the walls shows plainly, a . .
Call of His Pals.
In police court following his ar
rest, Nelson stoutly claimed absolute
innocence of serious crime since his
conviction for highway robbery
seven years ago. He intends to fight
the charge of automobile theft.
"It was the call of the old life' that
lured me back to crime," Nelson told
detectives. "I've had proper raising s
but the influence of pals has over
come me."- -
Within a few weeks, begging 'for
one more chance to make good, he
will face a jury in district court It
will ibe the guiding point of his fu

old, he will have served half of his
life in the schools. He entered the
service July S, 1885, when Mr. H. M.

Mr. Sievers knew as children jn

Teeth Extraction
Endurance Record x
Claimed by Of ficer

Capt. Andrew Pattullo of the po

holds the endurance record in the
matter of teeth extraction. Recently
he decided to have : his teeth at
tended. Friends advised him to take
gas or,some other form of painless
application. -But he waved aside all
friendly suggestions,
v He asked the boss for a few hours
off one day and sauntered down to
the office of a dentist, where he told
the man with the wrench to go to
work. - ,
At one sitting he had 21 teeth ex
tracted and did not take gas, novo-
came, or anything else.
' "Oh, yest Ifelt it, but I was not
going to take gas," he' said. "It is
a needless expense. The dentist had
to yank rather hard toget one tooth,
but he got it out. Yes, there were 21
of them, count 'em." v

Welfare Board Asked : :
To Tell Woman How to
: ' Tame Wild Chickens
"Will you please tell me how to
tame wild chickens?" asked , a
woman over the telephone, address
ing her inquiry to 'the Board of v
Public Welfare offjees in trfe city
hall. s . '
Miss Bessie Wilson, who received
the query, was in a quandary as
to what to say. She had never
heard that there were any wild,
chickens around Omaha, and 'the-
taming of such birds was quit? be
yond her ken. .
- "Hold the--wire a"minute, madam, '
and I will ask around the office '
here," said Miss Wilson to the in
quiring woman. ,
She asked T. H. Weirich, super
intendent, and Frank Bandle, one of
the assistants, but neither was able
to solve the riddle.
Miss Wilson was about to give it
up in disgust when she asked the
woman to furnish further details of "
her question. The woman said she
was serious, that she just could not '
make her chickens behave.
"I'll tell you what to do," said
Miss Wilson, a bright light shining
through her mental recesses. "You i
just tie a lot of strings to the fence
and fasten pieces of bacon to the
ends of the strings. The chickens.
will eagerly grab the food and will
swallow part of the string, and then
they will be tamed. I have tried
this several times successfully. It
never fails."
The woman expressed her thanks,
explaining that a neighbor had been v
