There are many stories about Hor- ace Greeley's handwriting, which Is said to have been the worst ever seen even in a newspaper office. Perhaps tha b6st of the yarns is the following: There was only one compositor in the Tribune office who could read' Greeley's copy. One day while tbe compositor was out a bird had flown into the office, walked into some print- ing ink and then on a number of looaa sheets lying on the floor. "Why." said one of the printers, picking up a sheet, "'this looks like the old man's writing." So saying, he fastened the sheets together and put them on the absent compositor's ct«e. Presently the compositor came back and with all eyes tume'l on him picked up the alieets and to the amazement of the room started setting up the sup- posed "copy." Presently, however, he hesitated at a word and asked the man nearest blm what it waa. "How should I know?" waa the re- uucsu MubUiiua ea icui.
