How u Bright Young American Astonishod
Some Smart German officers.
A story is told of n bright young
American and several German officers
who at dinner ono evening set ont to
make him uncomfortable by chatting
him about his country. The young man
is Albert n. Washburn, the United
States consular agent at Magdeburg.
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 the presidents Of the United
States. Merritt named them over with
some elaboration and drew from his
German friend the declaration that he
did not believe there was another Amer
loan present who could do it.
Young Washburn had said nothing
until now, but he broke in and declared,
81 can do it, and I will give you the
vice presidents. He was about to begin
when second thought struck him, and
he said, "While am about it, might
as we'll give you the secretaries Of state
too" The Germans got down book
giving tho names and kept tabs on the
young man as he correctly went through
the list. They were pretty we'll backed
down already, hut Washburn had no
idea of letting them off so easily. "Now,
I should like to know" he said, "wheth-
err any OF you can give the names of the
Prussian rulers from the time of Charlie
magne and his sons down to the Emper
or William?"
Not one 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
moro by modestly suggesting, Perhaps
I had better do it for you He began
with Charlemagne and went through
the list without break, much to the
establishment of his German hosts and
the delight of Consul Edwards and the
other Americans. "Bow did you do it?"
asked Merritt. "Oh, my father had a
taste for such things and taught them
to me when was boy. and, you see,
they are sometimes useful to know" he
replied. San Francisco Examiner.

In daily life, if you know 8 man to be thin skinned. you guard your tongue accordingly, unless you de- liberately desire to provoke his re- sentiment or enmity. It would be well if our journalists and public writers would remember that the Americans are in their sensitiveness to foreign criticism more like the French than ourselves. We ought also to bear in mind that the Amer jeans are far more sensitive to Eng fish criticism than to that of French men. Germans or other foreigners. This means that they set a special value on our good opinion. When a man desires your good opinion, he pays the best of compliments to your judgment, and the least you can do under such circumstances is to justify his compliment by refrain ing from expressing opinions found cd on ignorance.
