s'There goes young man who has
romance" remarked well-known citizen
yesterday. as he looked through the window
of the GLOBE office as young man of per-
hapS rs passed UP First avenue, remark
ably handsome lady leaning upon his arm.
Tell you about it? Certainly. only l wont
give you the name OF the parties, for if l
did you would print il, land nearly every one
in the city would recognize in the couple
two welEknown Minneapolis people. But,
to come to the point, some years ago the
young man worked in one of the big mills,
and was looked upon as good man in his
position. One day party Of ladies visited
the mill, among them the lady you saw him
with. While looking at the different things
around the mill, this young lady dropped
from her finger into lot of wheat which
was being stored a valuable diamond ring,
which had been presented to her by her
mother. who had died some years before.
''Of course, the young lady was nearly
heartbrOken, and refused to be cOmforted
by her friends. This young man, who was
standing near when she dropped the ring
saw the whole thing and made up his mind
to recover the ring. That evening, as soon
as his work was done, he went to The bin in
which the wheat had been stored and
OiClC SCVhDduiCu ny q l1ICiiu, SiICCO dI1
the wheat and placed it in bags. 1t was
nearly morning when he found the ring.
The wheat was then emptied back into the
bin, and the young man went home.
When he went to work again he went to
the head miller and succeeded in being re-
leased for the day. His next move was to
dress himself in his best suit and return the
ring to the owner.
ITO her he related how he recovered it,
and by his pleasing manners so captivated
her that she invited him to call. This he
did. and the friendship thus begun soon
ripened into something stronger. The
young lady's father took a great liking to
the young man. and gave his consent to a
marriage, arranged between him and his
daughter. When the marriage took place,
the young man left the mill and was started
in business by his wife's father. He is now
worth about $500, 900. and can lay his good
fort une to recovering the lost ring"

Journalists Are Not Mendicants.

The better majority of the journalists Of
New York feel humiliated and outraged
by enterprises which make them pose un
tru.hfully before the public as mendt-
cants. The income Of all the lawyers,
clergymen, physicians, and other protcS-
slonal men in New York is less per capita
than that of the average newspaper
writer. The young lawyer Is lucky If his
first years practice keeps his stomach
filled and his body covered, but the cal
lowest reporter is rated as worthless If he
gets less than SIS per week from the out
set The clergyman is fortunate If his
salary reaches 5000 a year after half Il
life time of work, but the skillful newsGath-
erer expects from 5000 to $1,000. The
physician is regarded enviOusly by his fel-
lows when his arduOus practice yields
5000, but an able writer of original mat
ter for the press receives in this city ut
least that recompense, and possibly twice
as much. The days of BOhemian.Sm Is
over and the feeling among New York
journalists is strong now, that the com
paratively small element of bumnlerism
should be kept out OF sight instead of be
ing exploited. As to the deserving men
who die poor in this profession, they NUM-
