Has a Marvellous Memory.

There is a hotel clerk in Cleveland,
O., who possesses a wonderful memory.
In an article about him in the Ameri-
can Magazine a writer says:
In preparing for convention a few
weeks ago Horgan made out from adj
vance lists 1852 cards, each bearing the
name and room number of one of the
expected guests. Shortly afterward it
was decided that the machinery of the
hotel organization would be spared
needless wear and tear if the room res
ervation cards were distributed on
the train to 127 men who were coming
from Chicago.
1.-THE 1852 cards had been jumbl, up
without the slightest regard for geogra-
ply. Morgan ran hurriedly through
them, tossing into a pile at one side
the names which he remembered as be-
longing to men in the western delega-
ton. He glanced through the pile
again, cast out six and left the 127
cards for the Chicago party without
a single mistake"

upon the one below it, and braced and

speaks not only of the sincerity and
the conscientiousness of the old Puri-
tan spirit but strikes the higher note
of beauty Many of the older walls

they exhibit a rare sense of form and
