He did not even go to the expense of paintin^out the lines , he rimply altered the position of one point, which made the couplet readthus ''■ReopMievermMe.Otlioumydooi-, TonH.beshuttohonestortopoor."

Eeina aftei &Lrfa deprived of his position S'ccount of his niggar^ness it passed into a proverb that, tor one point Ravnbard lost his priory. P A somewhat similar anecdote is told of a barbS who had a couplet over his door without any punctuation at all, but which the' passer-by read thus :— " {^v^uKJthing and give you a drink." If any victim went in to avail himself of this apparently magnanimous offer he found that the barber's reading of it was: —

"S^ftTlEEftlnf andgiveyoua drink f to Which his reply was, of coarse, ft Tn'on'e case,by the misplacing of jtat compositors call a » space,' a gentleniaa, instead of sending a bulletin to the Lord Provost, was made to send a bullet into him Whether it brought him a visit from Captain M'Caul is not known. In columns of news an absurd effect is often produced unintentionally by the running together of items that ought to have begun on different lines. In one of SaTieSg papers in Paris the following paragraphs, printed without a break, must have read ominously : — . «Dr X. has been appointed head physician to the flopital do la Obarifce. orders have been issued by the author ities for the immediate extension ot tue Cemetery de Parnasse."
