The Ottawa Journal recalls some stories of Sir John A. MacDonald's remarkable memory for names and faces. Here is one: It was at Nap- anee in 1882, when Sir John notic- ing @ man on the platform, turned to him and asked, 'isn't your name Ruttan?" "Yés," he replied, "but F never met you Sir John. How did you know me?" "By your Mkeness to your brothers," he said. 'But it mus: be a long time since you have seen them," said Dr. Ruttan. "Yes," answered Sir John, "it is now forty years." vii Mr. Meighen, another Conserva- tive leader, says Woodstock Sentinel- Review, seems to possess a similar gift. It is sometimes said that he never forgets either a name or a, face, although there must be both names and faces he would Tike to forget. Hefe.is a true story. It was at the reception to him by the people of his old home town of St. Marys when he became premier. A man was pre- sented to him and the name "Smith" mentioned--that really was not the name, but it will do. "Hello, John," said Mr. Meighen without hesitation. "You've got it right," said Smith, "but I woul like to know how you did it. You've never seen me be- fore." "No, but you are one of the Smiths, and you're not Tom, or Pete, or Dick, or Nell or Annie, and there's only John left, so you must be John. {gift was genuine, and the same iz |study showed that the important * ! which insec's' | {under great | band, but it always has been Home People have such gifts, some ee ---- merely pretend to have them.
