VON TIRPITZ HAD

Admiral

New York, July

von Tirpitz, leader of the Fatherland

party and one of the most rabid of

had a narrow escape

from being handled roughly by an angry crowd at the railroad station at

Freienwalde, Brandenburg, recently,

according to a letter published in

Vorwaerts of Eerlin, a copy of which

has been received here. A passenger train was crowded and excited

passengers were struggling to get on

when one discovered a compartment

in which sat one man by himself.

A rush was made for the "compartment, but the door was not opened.

Force was about to be used when the

conductor opened the compartment.

i ne lone passenger looked at the intruders, removed his hat to. show

head and stroked his beard. It

was Admiral von Tirpitz. He maintained a studied silence even when

some stepped up to him and cried

,

out:

"Yes, that's the way the Fatherland people are. They reserve for

themselves the comfortable compartments and don't care if the people

next door , are crushed to death..

No reply was vouched and no passenger dared take

a seat in the Admiral's compartment.

day.

The famous Ferreltown cantaloupes,

for which there is an ever more anxious expectancy, because of the more

aristocratic status of the noted cantaloupes according to local standards,

have not yet shown up and there is

much speculation in some quarters as

to when the cantaloupes will come in,

as they have been over due for sevpuberal weeks and the melon-buyinlic is beginning to grow weary of

waiting and to show signs of extreme

discontent on account of the delay.

But the Ferreltown folks have ' sent

ahead the word that the crop is fair

and that it is on the way, and the

anxious public is trying to overcome

its restlessness and extend its patience to cover another week or ten

days, when it is promised that the

famed cantaloupes will be in sight and

will be available for the eager public's

purchases.

What's more, most people liked him.

"At last some of us discovered the

secret of his power. He sat on the

bench all day writing by hand brief

sympathetic letters to people in trouble. He got his tips from the newspapers. When he read that Jasper

Jackowski of Division street had lost

both legs in an accident at the rolling

mill, rendering a wife and two children destitute, he would write a few

lines to Mrs. Jackowski saying

that

he had read the dreadful ' news, and

wished that he were a' man of means

so that he might help them. Anyhow,

he 'felt for them,' and hoped that relief wauld come to them. Usually he

common people that he was a good,

kind man with a big gentle heart.

And when election time came around

they did the rest."

"Don't ask me whether he was sincere because I don't know. Probably

he was half honest, half crook; half

real, half fake. All I know is that he

had an instinct for appreciation of

other people's troubles to an extraordinary degree. Possibly he began the

habit honestlywith no

idea of cashing in on it and later developed it into a business. Perhaps the

total effect of his kind words was

"But let's, for the sake of

human at least. He could hear and

he could talk, which is more than

some folks can do. If you gave him

a cigar, he thanked you. If you told

him your wife's rheumatism was better, he smiled. If you showed him

your sore thumb, he was sympathetic.

At all times he was expressive and

responsive not speechless. In other

words, he could submerge his own

a while and give the other fellow a
