Journalism. OHN HENRY JONES had shown a tendency toward journalism from childhood. When his mother and her neighbors gossiped, he as a five-year-old had listened with bated breath to their tales of other neighbors, and he had re- peated some of these tales, to the em- barrassment of the tellers and his own misery acquired by the maternal slipper. As he grew up he disseminated in- formation with amazing facility, for he read the papers; and when he ap- proached manhood he determined to be a journalist. It was not easy to become a journalist some years ago, when young men had to ‘‘pick up” the craft as best they might and undergo many hardships before be- ing honored with a job at a salary and assignments. But John Henry Jones lives in a progressive age. There are now so many colleges of journalism that the young man who elects to attend one of them is at his wits’ end to decide upon which he shall favor with his presence. Other colleges hold out vari- ous lures of an athletic sort or of social Dubious ABOUT WHAT HER HUSBAND WOULD SAY. A Mich. woman tried Postum because coffee disagreed with her and her hus- band. Tea is just as harmful as coffee because it contains caffeine—the same drug found in coffee. She wri “‘My husband was sick for three years with catarrh of the bladder and palpitation of the heart, caused by cof- fee. Was unable to work at all and in bed part of the time. “‘T had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so I could not attend to my house work—both of us using coffee all the time and not realizing it was harmful. “One morning the grocer’s wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Postum. I took it home rather dubious what my husband would say—he was fond of coffee. “But I took coffee right off the table and we haven't used a cup of it since. You should have seen the change in us, and now my husband never complains of heart palpitation any more. My stom- ach trouble went away in two weeks after | began Postum. My children love it and it does them good, which can’t be said of coffee. “A lady visited us who was usually half sick. I told her I'd make her a cup of Postum. She said it was tasteless stuff, but she watched me muke it, boiling it thoroughly for 15 minutes, and when done she said it was splendid. Long boiling brings out the flavour and food quality.’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich Look in packages for the famous lit- Ye book, ‘The Road to Wellville.”” Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. privilege that draw this or that youth from predilection. The college of jour- nalism is simply a college of journalism and must stand as an original proposi- tion, so the question of locality or con- venience usually determines admission. John Henry Jones went to the first college of journalism at hand and drank in its lectures and its object lessons as one athirst. He finally received his de- gree and sallied forth to make a name, and incidentally to amaze the world. John Henry was fortunate in securing a position at the very outset. There was something attractive and appealing in his appearance to the editorial eye. His face was alert and eager in expres- sion, he was voluble of speech, and as he stood even in repose his general aspect was that of an_ interrogation point. His first assignment was to report a His paper was a morning journal. As he went on his way to the inquest, the words of his journalistic preceptors in the college of journalism came vividly to him. ‘*Mas- ter every subject,”’ said they. ‘Get every detail, and be sure of your facts. And when you have all the material, write your story with spirit and realism.”” There was nothing at the coroner's in- quest that escaped John Henry’s eyes or his intelligence. He filled himself with detail. And after it was all over, he went to the office and began to write. At one o'clock a. m., when matters were sifting down to essentials, John Henry handed his story to the city editor. “*Here, Williams,’’ said the city edi- tor to his assistant, throwing John Henry’s bale of copy on the latter’s desk, ‘‘go through this.'’ And turning to John Henry, the city editor told the young man he might go home for the night. John Henry went. An hour later the city editor turned to his assistant with the question, ‘‘Did the cub get everything at the inquest?’’ “Everything,”’ was the reply, ‘‘but the verdict.”’ coroner's inquest. J. AW.
