LAMB ONCE A JOURNALIST
At One Time He Was Actively en-
gagged on the Staff OF the
London Post.

In connection with Lord Glenesk's
recently published history OF thai old
established London journal, the Morn
ing Post, it is interesting to recall
the fact that at one time Charles
Lamb was on its staff of contributors.
This gentle essayist wrote largely for
a column headed Fashionable Intel
ligence;" in those day, as Lamb says,
every morning paper, as an essential
retainer to its establishment, kept an
author who was bound to furnish daily
a quantum of witted paragraphs" 1t
was In this capacity that Lamb was
engaged on the Post; furthermore his
contract stipulated that in the chat
of the day, scandal, but above all.
dress" he should supply six paragraphs
day, not one of which was TO ex-
coed seven lines in length, and the
payment for which was to be IL 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
Charles Lamb" he said, Il never could
make anything of his writings. Of
politics he knew nothing; they were
out of his line of reading and
thought, and his drollery was vapid
when given in short paragraphs fit
for newspaper"

PREACHER VICTIM OF FIRE

Rev William John McCaughan formerly pas
tor of the Third Presbyterian church of Chi
cago and his wife, were victims of a fire which
swept the Kelvin hotel In Belfast, Ireland. Rev.
Mr.. Mclaughlin resigned his charge in Chicago
three years ago to accept pastorate of church
in Belfast. The fire spread so rapidly that guests
and employees cut off from escape. Three
employees were burned to death and many of the
guests injured perhaps fatally. The Nc
Caughans occupied rooms on an upper floor of the
hotel and when the fire started tried to escape
by stairway. They were hemmed In by the
flames, were severely burned and at last jumped
from window.

oR oaGsE Mich SICKNESS

One reason so many people take cold
during the winter months, according to
n we'll known authority, is the hot, dry
atmosphere indoors. due to imperfect
heating. If we were as careful TO keep
the air in our rooms moist as we are
to keep them warm, there would be
less occasion for cough medicine than is
now the case,
Of all the socalled minor ills of the
body, there is none the neglect Of which
is 80 liable to result seriously as the
common cold.' The cough irritates
the mucous membrane Of the throat,
lungs and bronchial organs, leavino
them sore and inviting attack from the
countless germs of dread tuberculosis
which infect the air we breathe.
A simple, inexpensive cough medicine
can be made by mixing two ounces of
Glycerine, a half f-ounce of Virgin Oil of
inc compound pure and eight ounces
Of pure Whisky. Shake we'll and take
a teaspoonful every four hours. 1t will
break up cold quickly and cure any
cough that is durable. This formula is
frequently prescribed and is highly rec
commended by the Leach Chemical Co. i
of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine
