How y BRIGHT Young American Astonishsd
Some smart German Otlcers.

A story is told of "a bright yonng
American and several German officers
who at a dinner one evening set ont to
make him uncomfortable by chatting
him about his country. The Young maj:
is Albert H.. Washburn, the United
States consular agent at M~agdehurg.
Henry +. Merritt, consul at Chemnitz,
was the first one of the Americans at
tackled with a taunt from one of the
Germans that he could not give the
names Of tho presidents of the United
States. Merritt named them over with
some deliberation and drew from his
German friend the declaration that he
did not believe there was another Amer
lean present who could do it.
Young Washbarn had said nothing
until now, but he broke in and declared,
Il can do it, and l will give you the
vice presidents. He was about to begin
when a second thought strucl: him, and
he said, "While | am about it, l might
as well give you the secretaries of STATE

young man as he correctly went thrnugh

down already, but Washburn had 10
idea of letting them of 80 easily. ''Now,
l Should like to know, - he said, "wheth.
er any of you can give the names Of the
Prussian rulers from the time Ci Charlie
magne and his sons down to the Lmper-
or William"
Not IL Of them could go half through
the list. and they were on the point of
apologizing to the Young Massachusetts
scholar when he took them down still
more by modestly suggesting, Perhaps
l had better do it for you He began
with Charlemagne and went through
the list without n break, much TO the
establishment of his German hosts and
the delight of Consul Edwards and the
other Americans. How did you do it,"
asked Merritt. "Oh, my father had u
taste for such things and taught them
to me when l was u boy. and, you see,
they are sometimes useful to KNOW he
