Wonderful Hats.

Abraham Lincoln was a man whose
keen wit and pleasing hunor extricat-
ed him from many an embarrassing
situation. On one occasion he was pre-
scented with two fine hats, each by
different hatmaker, neither knowing
that the other had made such a contri-
button. In the course of events they
called upon the president, and it so
happened that both called at the same
time
When both found themselves in the
presence Of the executive they asked
how he had liked the hats they had
sent him, and, taking advantage of the
opportunity of securing a statement of
superiority of one or the other make,
the president was asked to state his
preference.
To many men such a question would
be very embarrassing, but to Lincoln
not at ALL He took the hats, one in
each hand, and then replied gravely,
but with a mischievous twinkle in his
keen eyes:
Gentlemen, your hats do mutually
surpass each otherp'
