A story told of a bright young American and several German officers 13 a New Hope. who, at a dinner one evening, set out to make him uncomfortable by chafing him about his country, says the Kansas City Star. The young man is Albert H. Washburn, the United States consular agent at Magdeburg. Henry F. Merritt, consul at Chemnitz, was the first one of the Americans attacked 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 deliberation and drew from his German friend the declaration that he did not believe there was another American present who could do it. Young Washburn had said nothing until now, hut he broke in and declared: I can do it and I will He was give you the about to begin, when a second thought struck him and he said: While I am about It I might as well give you the secretaries of state, too. The Germans got down a book giving the names and kept tabs on the young man as he corThey rectly went through the list. were pretty well backed down already, but' Washburn had no idea of letting them off so easily. Now, I should like to know, he said, "whether any of you can give the names of the Prussion rulers from the time of Charlemagne and his sons down to the Emperor 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 more by modestly suggesting: Perhaps I had better do it for He began with Charlemagne you. and went through the list without a break, much to the astonishment of his German hosts and the delight of Consul Edwards and the other Americans.

It and the Carlson cottage should both be burned to the ground, for an evil fate hangs over them. When Iceman OSullivan was sentenced to prison, his cousin, Thomas Whalen, for some time occupied the house at 5 Bosworth avenue. During Mr. Whalens occupancy the place was repaired and repainted, and, with the spacious yard, presents a pleasing appearance. Patrick Brennan, who Insists that OSullivans house is a den of horrors, was in the employ of the iceman previous to the Cronin murder. He was a warm friend of the iceman, and was a witness in the first trial, he among others, attempting to establish an alibi for the accused.

J business Brennan, with his brothers John and Michael, and his mother, moved Into the icemans home. This was a year ago. According to the statement of Mr. Brennan the occupants of the place have not had a day of peace since they have been there. Mrs. Brennan, the aged mother, has protested incessantly against living in the house because of the uncanny sounds heard there at all hours. Mrs. Brennan has repeatedly declared to her son that peril brooded over the house, but Patrick took no stock In these things until a little over a week ago, when he saw something that almost shook his reason. It was during the cold spell two weeks ago, said Brennan, that I had an experience that made me question myself as to whether I am In possession of my reason.' It was the last bitterly cold night, and in order to get some of the warmth from the stove I moved my bed down from the second floor to the front parlor on the first floor. It v here that poor O'Sullwas laid out for burial. ivans body I slept with my brother and we both had retired to rest, at 8 oclock. It was a little after 9 oclock when I suddenly awoke. I felt, a terrible En3 of oppression. I opened my eyes, and coming from above was a dense cloud which stood a few feet above my head. The cloud suddenly began to tremble and rays of light darted through it The rays quickly gathered In the center of the cloud, and like a flash was formed the face of Patrick d' OSullivan. He had the same smil8 on his face which he wore on the night of the death of Dr. Cronin. , I felt for a moment as if I must be crazy. My hair stood on end, I tell you.
