ALL HE KNEW.
"That waiter has the most wonderful memory of any man I know," said Jenkins; "In what way?" asked the friend who was lunching with him. "You see that row of hats hanging up there? Well, I'll bet you anything you like that when we get up from tho table he'll give you your liat, and mo mine—although I'm wearing- a new one to-day. I expect he noticed it as soon as I came into the restaurant." This prophecy was amply fulfilled. At any rate, the waiter duly apportioned the proper headgear to each of the two men; whereupon Jen kins inquired : "I say, waiter, how on earth do yo? know this is my hat?" "I don't, sir," replied the waiter, after he had pocketed the tip. "All I know is that it happened to be the hat you were wearing when you arrived."
