By inattention or mistake she had misspelled the name of one of the most trusty and active adherents of Bonaparte; and Duroc, therefore, instead of addressing himself to the Polish Count de S lz, went to the Polish Count de S -tz.
No. 1. Want my autograph, do you? And don't know how to spell my name. An a for an e in my middle name. Leave out the l in my last name. Do you know how people hate to have their names misspelled? What do you suppose are the sentiments entertained by the Thompsons with a p towards those who address them in writing as Thomson? No. 2.
One noon hour he presented himself, sullen and whining and bleeding at the nose, with a grievance for Jonathan's ears. The latter looked up frowningly from the pile of letters he was signing; they were sadly misspelled, the agitated Miss Brown having been at her worst. "Yes, Smith," he said wearily. "What is it?

So she wrote such stanzas as she remembered perfectly, commencing: "Sound of vernal showers On the twinkling grass, Rain-awakened flowers, All that ever was Joyous, and clear, and fresh, thy music doth surpass."

The writing itself was painfully minute and labored as though each letter had been formed with the greatest effort and considerable uncertainty.
For example, Kansas was by them misspelled as "Canseze" and "Canzan;" and there appear some thirteen or fourteen different spellings of Sioux, of which one of the most far-fetched is "Scouex." The explorers were now in a country unknown to them and almost unknown to any white man.
He looked over the list of eligibles. He read their misspelled, crabbedly written letters.

"There is apparently not one man of education or refinement in the whole lot," exclaimed Mr. Middleton. "That's about right," said the president of the agency.
Glancing over the paper, Grace suddenly looked up and said: "Why, they had a wonderfully exciting episode down in on Sunday last." She had come upon the account of the exploit with the bull, and read it aloud. The names being misspelled, she never suspected the real facts. "That was a brave man," she said, when she had finished. "It must have been splendid. I wish I could have seen it.
