ROMANCE IN LITERATURE.
He Did Not Follow the Professor:
Advice, but He Got There.

New York Herald
There Is well-known gentleman In this
city, who. when young man at college, fell
in love with a professors daughter. OF
course there is nothing remarkable about
that Both were young, and she was beaut-
full. The professor was poor but he was
wise. There is nothing remarkable about
that Wisdom is often associated with
poverty. especially that sort of wisdom that
comes from books The young man was
also Door. but he was not wise-he wanted
to marry the girl right off. And thereswa
nothing remarkable in that But the poor,
wise professor told the poor. unwise young
man:
go forth: go and do something. don't
care what you do, but go and do it, Then
we'll see about the girl. If she really thinks
she can't get along without you she won't
mind waiting year or two. If she won't
wait you won't want her,"
The poor. unwise Young man filed the
usual demurrer. but IL was promptly over
ruled. Then he went forth.
The first thing he aid was to go and buy
package OF cigarettes and sit down and
think. He did so much thinking of this
kind that he nearly starved to death. Then
he tried something else and picked up 81 a
week and $40 worth of self respect. But he
didn't see any opening for matrimony and
tried something else. This, toe, failed.
Then he tried something else.
The professor said he was shiftless fell

The daughter said he-was noble young
fellow. and would get there.
The young man had that girl in his eye all
the time. Yet he seemed to monkey with
the great world. He tried literature-news-

The professor said that settled ii.

The case OF Ray Falk. the Deputy Regis
trar of Voters, who was jointly arrested
with Registrar Brown on the charge of
changing the semi official returns of tho
last election, was in Police Court No. for
The sixth time yesterday, demanding that he
be given a preliminary hearing. Judge
Campbell was on the bench in the absence
of Judge Love, who has heretofore heard
the testimony in the cases, and he Strenu-
ously objected TO being asked to try Falk.
In fact, after a long wrangle between DIR.
ODOnnell, the complaining witness, and
the attorneys for the defendant, Judge
Campbell fatty refused to undertake the
case, and again continued it until Wednes-
dav next.
The defendants, while not censuring
Judge Campbell, were loud in their condem-
nation of Judge Love for absenting himself
from his courtroom and compelling both
PRINCIPALS and witnesses to appear again
without giving them chance for trial. Ii
seems to be the opinion of the attorneys
