one day to the village public house. There he fell in with an agent of one of the transportation companies. He listened to the stories of the man as he urged others to buy passage to and try their fortunes on America.
 "Is it easy to get an education there?" he asked.
 The agent told him 1t was and that young man who was ambitious might not only get an education there for nothing. but that he might live afterward doing little or no work German took his scant savings and bought passage to America. He was far from being a dull person. He was simply guilible youth. He left Ireland with regret, but his hopes were high and pictured like all other emigrants that some day when he had acquire manhood and wealh and edu- cation in the new country, he would , return to pass his last days in the land of his birth.
 His dream was soon shattered. After a rough passage. in a sailing vessel of tose early daysl he landed at Castle Garden, New York, practically penni- less and friendless. Most O. his mon- ey had been spent for his passage. His coming to this country was at a time when Irish immigration was be- ginning to assume large proportions and among the bigoted had gone forth the edict, t'No Irish Need Apply"
 When he inquired how he might en- ter the free colleges he was laughed at and when he sought employme ent no one would hire him At length. his money gone and weak from hunger, he applied to the office of the trans- portation company that had brought him to America and asked for food and a passage back to Ireland. He was laughed Jat and told to apply to the public charities department of New York city.
 Thereupon he made a VOW that America owed him a living and that he would stay here as public charge nd never perform another days work as long as he lived. How he kept this VOW officials of the charities depart ment know full well. Where he had lived before coming to Bridgeport no one knows.
 His desire for "book learning. how ever, was never satisfied. He read everything he could lay his hands dur ing theSyears he lived as an inmate of various institutions. His knowl- edge of English and the meaning and uses of the words of the language was far above that of the ordinary man. He knew the Bible from cover to cover.
 He could quote Shakespeare or the .l Co xlro of all the we'll known authors. He delighted to converse on literary sub- jects, but he would never talk about himself It Is said that whenever in his reading he came on a book

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL

A case containing Z,IO relleI ureSS- ings was shipped today to France from the Surgical Dressings committee of this city. It is expected that the case will reach its destination and be dis tributed where 1t is most needed in less than eight weeks.

A great many new members have enlisted their services in the relief work and contributions of money have been received for it from others who could not give their time. As the supply of materials to make the dressings is limited the money is needed.
