Remarkable stories are told of the

have for remembering the names and
faces of comparatively unimportant
persons. 1t may be consoling to per-
sons who lack this pleasant faculty
that they have MISUNDERSTANDING.
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson has difficulty in
remembering names. He told this
story to q friend: ~ was coming

change building, and, at one of the

gracious and friendly. But | could

asked him, as sort of feeler, how
he happened TO be In New York, and
he answered with touch of surprise
that he had lived there for several
years. Finally told him in an
apologize way, that 1 couldn't recall
his name. He looked at me for a
moment, and then said, very quietly,
that his name was U. s. Grant.
What did you do, Joe?" his friend
asked.
