Chicago, March 2. Wheat THE
market opened steady to fraction
higher. and has ruled firm throughout
the session. Outside markets were
stronger than our own, with particu-
lar demonstration of strength in the
northwestern markets. Part of this
strength was based on the report re-
garding Canadian reserves, the figures
given being 100000 bushels in farm
ers' hands. and about 11,500,000 BUSH
els in country elevators. Local pro-
fessionals leant their efforts to the long
side OF the market, while speculative
offerings were moderate. The market
has had a good rally from the low
point and we are inclined to believe
that the advance has been about
enough. We can see no reason yet for
taking the long side.

WALTERS TALKS
ON GREATNESS
REMARKABLE ADDRESS DELIv-
Erred THIS MORNING BY THE
PASTOR OF FIRST M. {. CHURCH
TO THE STUDENTS or FARGO
COLLEGE.

Rev. j. M. walters Of the First M.
e. church gave very remarkable
speech at Fargo college this morning
on the subject, Greatness. In a few
striking sentences. he had the closest
attention of the students and then by
several exceptionally good illustra-
tons showed in what greatness con
sists.
I'VE have arrived, in this age" said
Rev. Mr.. Walters, where we are apt to
make greatness consist in bulk. Great
ness does not consist in mud, neither
animate !. or inanimate. We are too
willing to assign greatness to what
is spectacular
He then went on to show that great
ness does not consist in the spectacu-
lar, in being written down in history
or in having great monuments.
DIR. Walters spoke of the type OF
greatness for which Moses stands
That great man gave up the opportun-
ity Of ruling Egypt to lead his people
out of the land of oppression.
THE great need of age is gap keep
ing men," said Rev. Mr. Walters. The
boy who held his finger in the gap in
the dyke and saved a city was real
hero and had the elements of greatness
in him. He showed by this illustra-
tion that the true great men are
those who fill the gaps. Many of these
great men, he observed, have been
silent men, men who were unable to
express themselves effectively in
speech. He mentioned Cromwell, Lin
coin, Grant and other great men as
those who have filled big and serious
gap in human affairs.
In conclusion, DR.. walters said that
there are many gaps big and little
to be filled, and that to do this eff
fectively is the real test of greatness.
"Great is he who stands in the gap
and keeps the animals out from among
the people" were his concluding words.
He was applauded warmly and
cheer was given him.
Tomorrow, Miss Barrows, the head
OF the department of domestic science
in Columbia University, will address
the students in chapel. On Saturday
Professor Orr the new vocal instruc-
tor at the conservatory, will speak and
make his initial appearance in Fargo
college.
