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 that 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
column headed fashionable Intel
hgence:" in those 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" 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. CAS- 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"

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY


Chicago, Aug, 3.-Wheat-The mar
ket opened strong with some good
buying for foreign account. Local
selling caused a fractional setback
but there was a firm undertone to the
market in the steady absorption OF
offerings. There was good business
done again from Baltimore. that mar
ket showing a gain of q cent premium
over our market since yesterday
There seems to be no question about
present prices being on an export basis
and the fact, coupled with the buying
/ of futures for foreign account, Is furn-
ishing an Offset to the pressure from
[ the heavy movemene. We feel friendly
to wheat on all set-backs, and while
we do not look for a runaway market
! expect to see gradual hardening OF
values.

HOOD FOR AN HOUR LAST
NIGHT-THouGHT MISSING BUT
FOUND ASLEEP UPSTAIRS.

The little S-year- daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. c. Boyce, who reside at
500 Ninth street south, caused her
parents and their neighbors much
alarm last night when she was report

Boyce and their friends secured the

The anxious father and mother were

asleep on a pile of clothes In an un-
used room upstairs in the Boyce house.
MIR. and Mrs. Boyce had gone down
the street early in the evening and
had left the little girl in the care OF
a nurse girl about Is years old. Upon
their return about O'Clock the nurse
stated that the child was no where TO
be found. They hunted the house over
in all the likely places the child would
be ant to have gone and then began
a search outside. The neighbors join"
ed in, and they went through the
streets, lawns and parks looking for
the little one, thinking she had wand
cred away.
An hour later Mrs. c. H. Dixon,
who was one of the party of seachers,
went to the Boyce residence and start
ed another investigation of the house
Upstairs in a room little used by the
family, she found the little girl asleep
on a pile of clothes.

Murdered for a Cent.

A quarrel over a single penny led to
a murder In Hoboken the other day.
A man from Nebraska who stopped at
a hotel in Hoboken while awaiting the
sailing OF the steamer for Europe. put
a penny In the slot of an automatic
music box in the dining-room Of the
hotel, but the box refused to pour
forth the expected ragtime tune. The
Nebraskan became indignant and up
braided the German porter. The lat
ter explained to him that it required
nickel and not penny to set the
mechanism of the music-box in mo-
ton, but that explanation did not sat
isfy the man from Nebraska. He be-
came abusive and when the porter
threatened to put him out, he pulled
revolver from his pocket and shot
the porter dead.

ARE HOMESICk
BIG COLONY OF THEM I'M MIN
NEsoTA MISS NATIVE SCENES
DRY SEASON GIVES THEM A
BAD IMPRESSION or THE couN-
TRY.

Persons from that vicinity report
that large colony of Hollanders who
located near New York Mills in the
early spring are lonesome in their new
home. Coming from land where every
foot of soil is carefully titled, where
the atmosphere is extremely moist and
where the whole country is beauti-
full garden, they find too much of a
contrast in one Of the newer sections
of Otter Tail county In the dryest year
ever known. Nearly all of them have
land to clear, and while the men are
strong and industrious the axe is a
new instrument to many of them. They
burned coal in Holland and to cut
down a tree was a crime there.
The Johnston Land Co., which
was largely instrumental in bringing
them here is doing everything pos
sible to assist them in starting prop
erly in their new environment. The
company has established the best
equipped farm in Otter Tail county in
the midst of the settlement, supplied
it with all the latest improvements

The company planted five acres of
tobacco this year and the crop devel-
oping in a remarkable manner. 1t has
thriven amazingly Notwithstanding the
dry weather, and it will not be at all
surprising if experiments that are be-
ing made will result in tobacco Gull
ture becoming general in this country.
The Hollanders are not showing any
disposition to leave, and will doubtless
become acclimated in course of time:
but at present their inconsistencies is
pathetic.

ScnSeless Wedding
Customs
SOME Or THEM NEED TO BE
CHANGED.

TT is time we had saner wedding GUS
toms. Every one has seen some I'M
happy bride and groom Fastening to
he train covered with rice and pur-
sued by a clamoring, horn blowing
c-awc of friends.
This custom of tying up the carriage
with ribbons, the trunk with labels and
.E-cwing cid shots. etc, after the hap
py 90 pair is os ancient as 1T is stupid.
II Is time the whole thing was buried
in the oblivion it merits. Another
thing which should be changed is the
rer'e racling custom of providing a
large trousscau for the bride. Few sit
tings with the dressmaker would make
for happier wedding day. AS a rule,
the bride is so worn out she can hardly
go through 18th the cerc.-- my.
Instead of providing I, e girl with a
lot of clothes often unsuited to her po-
sition 1t would be wiser for the parents
to put a sma. sum of money in the
bank in her name. 1t woul1 be wiser
for them to see to 1t that the groom
settles on her a proper dress allowance
It's a very good idea for parents ia
interest themselves in this sort of de-
tail A girl does not need so many
clothes at once, but she does need tc
feel that she can have new ones as she
needs them.
The vulgar display of wedding pres.
ents is another custom which should
be discouraged. Indeed, these often alb
solutely useless things are oftener
source OF nnoyance than pleasure Z
the newly weds.
Less noise and less hustle on the wt1
ding day and more real preparation 10
