BERANGER'S HEART TOO KIND
Great French Poet Continually Preyed
On by Host Of Ingrates Who
Plucked Him.

Interesting anecdotes are told o, the
great French poet, Beranger, who died
In 1857.
The poet was as poor as he was
generous. All he had he gave away,
and when here was nothing left he
sent the beggars who haunted his
house to call on his numerous friends.
One OF the characteristics of this
unfortunate benefactor who was al.
ways surrounded by host OF Ingrates,
was his tolerant spirit. Since there
was no ante-ch8mber In his modest
home, the beggars who knew the house
stayed outside on the staircase II was
impossible to see him without finding
half-dOzen OF them on the stairs.
There they used to walt like ravens
for the small change, old clothes, and
sometimes new clothes, that Llsette
was the first to distribute to them
When friends demonstrated with Be
ranger for giving away things he need.
ed to people whom he did not know.
Lisette would answer:
"Oh, now. Beranger will just write
another song-the lazy fellow!"
