A TacIturn General.

Moltke's reticencc was so proverbial,
says the Argonaut, that, as the King $
birthdays approached, there used to he
bets amolg the officers as TO how
many words Moltke would use in pro-
posing the toast OF the day. Somt
backed nine-word speech, others put
their money on eight words. Moltkc's
habit was TO say: ITO the health Of
His Majesty. Emperor and King" or
"To His Imperial Majcsty's health"
In 1884 an oyster breakfast was staked
on the Marshars not using more than
nine words. But, because he began
with the word gentlemen" the bet
was lost The loser comforted HIM
self by saying: Hes aging, is
Moltkc; he's getting loquacious."
