LAMB ONCE A JOURNALIST
At One Time He Was Actively En-

In connection with Lord Gleneskt
recently published history of that old
established London journal, the Morn

the fact that at one time Charles
Lamb was on It's staff of contributors.
This gentle essayist wrote largely for
a column headed Fashionable Intel
ligence;" in teose day, as Lamb says,
every morning paper, as an essential
retainer to it's establishment, kept an
author who was bound to furnish daily
a quantum of witted paragraphs.

coed seven lines in length, and the
payment for which was to be II cents
each.
In his essay Newspapers Thirty
Five Years Ago" Lamb seems to have
been rather pleased with the sticks
of chat he contributed to the press;
we now find that Dan Stuart" his
editor, entertained different opinion
as to their value. AS for good
