DIDN'T KNOW THE GENERAL
One Time When Joseph jefferson
Was Embarrassed
From Harper's Weekly:

From Harpers Weekly;
Jefferson liked to tell the following
story upon himself. He was, of
course, from his professional position,
well known personally to thousands of
men whom he did not know He was
constantly meeting strangers who
always remembered him, and the fact
that they had met him, but whom he
did not always remember. He was very
sensitive upon this subject, and was
greatly distressed when he forgot a
to have forgotten. One day. coming
down in the elevator from the top story
OF the Mills building in Wall street,
New York, he noticed a stout, compact
little man who entered the car at the
next floor, who looked at him for a
moment, evidently waiting for recog-
milton, and then held out his hand and
said: How do you do, Mr.. Jefferson?"
The actor of course, responded in his
usual, cordial, hearty way, and replied:
why! Why! Why! How do you do?
When did you come to town and how
long are you going to be here?"
The. stranger said: But live here,
Mr.. Jefferson, and you don't know who
1 ami"
WELL" the protagonist confessed. "1
know your face perfectly of course,
but I'm apt to get confused in my
study of physiognomy." The little.
stout, compact stranger smiled as he
turned his cigar over in his mouth, and
said, I'm Gen. Grant"
Jefferson always declared that he got
out at the next landing and walked
down three flights of stairs to the
street for fear he would make himself
additionally conspicuous by asking the
gentleman if he had ever been in
Washington, or if he was a veteran of
the late war!
