Of heart equals his modesty. He has
never attended Confederate reunion, or
made a speech, nor willghe even visit the
Soldiers Home, giving as his reason for

who were lusty and full Of fire and
dash in the days when they and he cam
.Iaicned together. 1t Is extremely diff
cult to induce General Hoke to talk about
his war experiences. One of the most
notable things he ever did was to cap
sture Plymouth, an important town near
the North Carolina coast. where General
Vessels was In command Of the Federal
army General Hoke was ordered from
the Army OF Northern Virginia with his
division to attack Plymouth. and made

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
a 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.

Which Cupid Has Played

New York City.-What queer FRANKS
Master Cupid plays at times! He draws
his bow and lets his arrows by, and 10,
and behold, all the world pauses TO look
and to listen.
Cupid know that love has universal
language, and that it is potent to over
come every natural barrier. He knows
that love pauses not to reason why, but
that it dares to do, and even die, IL need
be, in its assaults on the strongholds OF
the human heart He knows that there
are no race or class distinctions, nor So
cial conditions or barriers which love
cannot with apparent reckless ease
sweep aside. And because Sir Cupid
knows all this full we'll, he dares to draw
his bow and send his dart cleaving the
heart of young man whose wealth is
counted in millions, whose social posi-
ton is of the highest, Yale graduate,
and a club man, and the heart of poor
Hebrew maiden, a Russian Je~ess,
whose life has been spent amidst the
worlds humblest, and who has rolled
cigars year in and year out that the
mother and five other children might
have bread and shelter. Cupid has
strangely linked the proud name of John
Graham Phelps Stokes and the unknown,
yet euphonious name, of Rose Harriet
Pastor.
Cupid's Double Play.
But Cupid has done more than this.
He has made in New York what might
be called a double play, and from one

Beauty and the Beast.

Did you ever take your lady friend TO
see a game of ball,
And sit up in the grandstand where
you couldn't even smoke?
And as you watch the catcher tag the
runner, hear her call,
What made that horrid big man
give that little one poker"
The game begins to liven up-some fell
low makes a hit;
The runner scores from second and
the people roar and shout.
Then, just as you start cheering you
will throw double fit,
When the maiden softly murmurs
whats this racket all aboutY"
She asks you why the catcher wears a
pillow on his hand,
Or why they have him muzzled-is he
such an awful brute?
What makes that fellow hit the ball and
run to beat the bandY
Small wonder that you then will fee
like some big rube galoot.
She asks you what an error is, and what
you mean by "bunt,"
And when the game is over she wants
to know who won.
"Oh, wasn't it exciting? 1t was such .
jolly stunt!
| don't remember when it was / evel
had such fun"
Yes, this is what you're up against
unless you know the game.
You wonder why on earth, then, yol
ever brought her out.
But next day you call round again anC
take her by the arm,
For we're all against that game with
out doubt.

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 Ia
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 Gorky have told the world about. OF
this period of her life Miss Pastor says:
Il was only three years old when l
left Russia, but think can remember
a 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 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, anG
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 a little shop on Scanned
street The name on the sign was yam
KEEL Weisslender. Weisslender was
Rose Pastors father.
Mrs. Pastor and her daughter sought
the Scanned street place. The old shoe
