PAPERSPAST

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT STORY.

Readers of '"Doinbey and Son" will remember that when Paul asks Mrs. Pipehin questions she tolls him a mad bull tossed the hoy that asked questions. Paul replies: "If the bull was mad. why did the boy ask it questions? I don't believe that story." The contempt for the intelligence of the ordinary newspaper reader is .shown by this: "A MILLION A IP, F/S DEATH. ;'SEATTLE Feb. 28. ''A millionaire manufactuircr and capitalist, AY. I.lofins, died to-day, aged 130. lie started life as v day laborer in a, foundry, and sawd enough money to buy a blast furnace. Ho started rolling mills, and grew to be the wealthiest man on the Paciiic Coast of America." I don't believe that story. A dead millionaire is worth as much as a dead donkey. If the animals were alive, the donkey would be worth most.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 98.10%.
