Is that so?” “Well," replied the assistant statistician modestly, “I am willing to try.” “Then multiply 2,689,101 by 473,” said Secretary Morton. ,Mr. Farquhar had the figures repeated to him, and then he concentrated his mind upon them. For a half minute or so he looked like a man in a trance. Then he seized a pencil and piece of paper and hurriedly wrote down the figures, “1,271.944,773.” “Now, let us see if that is right,” said Secretary Morton, and one of the bright young men of the Secretary’s office carefully and laboriously worked out the sum. “Mr. Farquhar’s figures are wrong,” he announced. “I think not,” replied the modem Zerah Oolbum, “and you had better go over your work again.” The young man did so, and in a few minutes admitted he had made an error and that Mr. Farquhar was right— Washington Letter.
