I never met the man. and yet I knew
that he possessed
As kind q heart rs ever thr0bbed

I read IL I'm his simple verse and will
not soon forget
The pathos and the humOr Of the man

God knows this life Ii sad enough
and he who tries to light
Its somber shadows with smile Of
courage and delight,
Deserves our love and gratitude, and
so, with fond regret,
I write this humble tribute to the man
never met.
His was q sweet, poetic soul; nor
suffering, nor disease,
Could breathe q note OF disc0rd thru
his gentle melodies,
And Oft while reading Heard and
Seen Its sunny page will yet
Recall the genial memories Of the
man / never met.

DIG. HEROESARE
|. bANQUETED by
GUS bUCHHOLz
Winners Of Times vaIor Medals
Make Merry at Party In
Occidental.

It's great TO be q hero and wear
. gold medal and be entertained
'neverything.
At least that is the way four deco
rated washingtonians feel about It to-
day. having been the guests Of genial
Gus Buchholz at an informal dinner
In the Occidental Hotel last night.
The guests were Policeman r. c.
Ault and Fireman John Ellsworth
Altman, who. on January . received
The Times' gold medals for conspicu.
Gus bravery In the Tine Of duty. Detec-
dive Sergeant Arthur Scrivener and
former Fireman Frank Neuman, who
were similarly decorated last year;
Chief Engineer George Watson. Of the
fire department, and Avery c. Marks,
managing editor Of The Washington
Times.
He Did It Up Brown.
Gus never does anything by halves.
He either goes the whole route or he
doesn't start at all. Therefore there
was q complete complement OF vtands
from the well known soup to the just
ly famous nuts, not to mention the
etceteras and the 20 forths. At in
tervals during the spread Gus. who
staged this party in his private apart
ment, assured his guests that he and
they were within the law" This was
disconcerting to some Of those pres
emit, because the sensation was new
to them.
Mine host Buchholz regaled his
guests with stories Of his recent visit
to Germany, told Of conditions In the
Teutonic republic and interspersed
many merry jests and quips. He laud-
ed the District Fire and Police Depart
ment personnels in general, and the
four heroes in particular. and rean-
nounced his plan to entertain the out
standing men In the two departments
every year.
Chief Watson made q happy speech
in reply on behalf of both departments
saying, among other things. 'In times
Of war the soldier In Justly praised and
honored. In times Of peace firemen
and policemen are soldiers on duty
twenty-four hours q day for 365 days
q year, and II is good to know that
in Gus Buchholz the men In both
departments have q staunch and
loyal friend who has voluntaril,
assumed the role Of gentleman bount'
full to the wearers OF the blue an
brass"
scrivener Did His Stuff Well.
Detective Sergeant Scrivener COZ
vulsed the guests with q wild man
story and in a neat and well-turned
speech expressed his appreciation Of
the courtesies extended by Gus.
Appropriate responses were made BY
Neuman, Ault, Altman and Mr..
Marks, the latter commenting upon
Gus Identification with all civic
movements in the National Capital
before. during and subsequent to the
great war.
Frederick Buchhoiz. a sizable chip
off the old block, entertained with
classical music selections and q num-
Der Of droll stories and the party was
voted q huge success by all present.
The only regret expressed was that
these parties come but once a year.
