THE QUALITY OF MIXING.

From the New York Commercial We hear, these days, much talk about ''mixing'-of a man being a" good mixer" Seldom is a politician success unless he is a good mixer. For young man in business it is q happy possession; thrice happy for him if it be a natural gift, if he is one that can slap dignity a friendly greeting on the back without jarring it from It's base. But even where it is not inborn it may be acquired.
 To be able to mix" well means to salesman that he is cheerful-that he al- ways faces you with a bright face if not with a smile; that he is neat in his dress. never anything of detail lacking to make a pleasing ensemble it means that he is alert, open-eyed to the disposition of the temper of the man he faces and is going to be in harmony with 1t in about nine seconds.
 The good mixer never goes into d mans office and springs the latest funny story when the man has just returned from his wife's funeral. The mixer is a rare stu dent of human nature, and he catches the bright glint of humor or the dull notes of gloom the angler senses the thrill that quivers along his slender rod. Of the small attendants gifts that go with ordinary capacity and talent most desirable in the fields of trade and other lines of endeavor this one of being able to mix well smooths the road to success l like a heavy steamer roller and makes , the riding very easy. Besides the real pleasure in it the good mixer draws out
 the best ideas of those with whom he comes in contact and he is usually shrewd enough to apply them to his own business affairs. TO mix well is to profit mentally l and materially.

Detective Sam Hamilton returned last night from Atlanta and brought with him John Blackstock, young white man aged 2l years who is charged with being the third member of the gang of high waymen who have been operating in Bir- mingham. The other two. Will Blackstock, aged 19 years, and John Lathem, aged II years, are already in the jail and have made confessions.
 Lathem gave an alias of J. Trout when he was arrested, and Will Blackstock has been known as T. J. Langford. Both boys hailed from Atlanta, where their parents live. It was on their confession. implicat-

 MT. Payne withdrew his point and Mir Hearst proceeded. He declared that he had no desire to criticize Mr Sullivan | because if he mad he would not have done 60 in such a puerlle manner.

 ''This is not a wash shop" shouted Mir Butler of Pennsylvania, who appealed to the speaker to know if there was any power to prevent continuance of the discussion.
 The speaker said Mir. Hearst was pro- ceeding by unanimous consent ana beside he said he was not sure that Mir. Hearst was specifically referring to MT. Sullivan not being familiar with his given name. .'But, Mir. Speaker~ said MT. Butler. He has inferentially charged the gentleman with murder"

 President Eliot has a way of bringing out in his annual reports, as President Roose- welt does in his Congressional messages, some high moral truth in graphic form. Witness this reference to Senator Hoar' s ideal of a public life:
 'Inspired by worthy sentiments and af- fectons, simple, disinteresed and earn est, and guided by well-read lessons from history and biography and a deep-rooted religious faith, all his life lie stood for the old-fashioned New England virtues of the modest home, the county court house, the town meeting and the villag church.

Find Strange Affinities-Queer Pranks
Which Cupid Has Played

How romantic 1t all is! What fascinat-
ing reading! 1t is just as if the charac-
ters of some charming novel had stepped
down into real life and were enacting
a roll of which the boldest romancer 10
his most extravagant flights might have
conceived. A double bill. Two ro-
mances in real life which are stranger
than fiction.
Humble Origin Of Rose Pastor.
Twenty-six years ago Rose Harriet
Pastor was born in Augustovo, Suwalk,
Russia, child of the peasantry Tolstoi
and Gcrky have told the world about. OF
this period of her life Miss Pastor says:
Il was only three years old when
left Russia, but think l can remember
little about it, just very little, faint
shadow of remembrance. Then there
was London, where we lived in White
chapel, and were very poor, indeed"
A chapter in her life which had its be-
ginning in London in those early years
had an interesting sequel in New York
city recently, and reminds one of the fact
that Pastor is not the real name of the
young Jewess. Her fathers name was
Jacob Weisslender, and about a year
after their removal to London he was di-
vorced from her mother, and all trace
of the man was lost.
Finds Her Father.
Mrs. Weisslender married a man
named Pastor, and Rose took her step
fathers name. He died several years
ago, and the support of the family fell on
Rose, the eldest child. When she moved
to New York, about two years ago, and
obtained employment on the Jewish
Daily News, she set about to find her
father. Her friends assisted her, and
about Is months ago Bennett Lieberman,
who worked with her, discovered an old
cobbler in little shop on Scanned
street The name ON the sign was "Yan-
KEEL Weisslender." Weisslender was
Rose Pastors father.
Mrs. Pastor and her daughter sought

sess that one great fault that men Of
his kind generally possess, the pride
of humility. He does not naunt his
democracy in ones face, but when his
democracy is mentioned to him, he ap-
pears as glad as child who is told by
an appreciative parent, you have been
a good boy to-day"
The Romance of Another Type.
Such are the man and woman, and
such is the network of romance which
has woven itself into their lives and
bound them together AS we turn to
the Whitney Bennett romance we find
very different type of love story 1t
savors more of the purely sentimental.
Miss Pastor and Mr.. Stokes speak OF
affinity, and find the ordinary express
sions of sentimental love crowded out
by the deeper currents and purposes of
life. The Christian and the Jewish maid
en- have lost sight of all class, race and
social conditions, and each has recog-
nized in the other the complement of self,
that something, that inspiration, that
sympathy, which will enable them both
more surely and completely to realize
their ideals in serving humanity.
But in the case of Mr.. Whitney, of
Montreal, the millionaire lumberman,

A NOVEL RED LUNCHEON.
Hostess Should Have Not Only Cam
dle-Shades and Flowers, But the
Food in Color Harmony.


Red is a color grateful to the senses at
this season of the year, and dinner all
in scarlet would be, / should think, a
particularly pleasing affair, and one
which the hostess whose resources are
not unlimited could manage successful
ly herself.
The candles can have shades OF red
silk with the fringe of beads so popular
now; or they can be of red crepe paper
decorated with one of the flower species
(also in the tissue) that you have en-
ployed as table trimmings.
Again. a simpler shade cut of rough
water color paper in the colonial shape
meg be hand painted with poinsettias or
roses or carnations, as the case may be.
Single brass candlesticks are much in
favor just at present and there is re-
vival of the fairy lamps used decade
ago. Fairy lamps in red should add
very charming touch to poinsettia
table.
The bonbons (scarlet almonds are nice
for this) may be served in the new long
stemmed compotiers, If you have these.
They come both in glass and china to
accord with the other table furniture.
Favors can be any pretty trifies In

Sherbet is less used than it formerly
