A MEMORY TEST.



Three men were disputing In Berlin
one day as to which of them had the
best memory. and finally they asked
Oskar Blumenthal, well known writ
er. to decide the matter.
Read me any page of Goethe's prose
works." said one of the three, "and /
VIII at once repeat it word for word"
II can do better than that" said the
second one. "Put me in a corner of
this room, and will play three games
of chess simultaneously without ever
looking at the boards"
That's nothing to what / can do"
said the first speaker again. Begin a
conversation with me now about the
most absurd things possible, and at the
end of an hour l win repeat the entire
conversation to YOU"
The third man was silent, and Blu
menthal said to him: ''Why don't you
tell us what you can do? A few min
utes ago you were boasting good deal
of your wonderful memory"
II know It," was the reply, but
did not then know that my two friends
took the matter so seriously And as
they are so much In earnest will not
try to surpass them. for I cannot for
get that each of them did me favor
yesterday"
Yesterday asked Blumenthal.

"And you have not yet forgotten 1t?
In that case the laurels belong to you,
