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

Interesting anecdotes are told Of 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 there 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-chamber In his modest
home, the beggars who knew the house
stayed outside on the staircase; it was
impossible to see him without finding
q haff-dozen Of them on the stairs.
There they used to wait like ravens
for the small change, old clothes, and
sometimes new clothes, that Lisette
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; EA
"Oh, now, Berange will just write
another song-the lazy feIlow!"

More than $1,000 graduate nurses

The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an ADEQUATE

HUMPHREYS COUNTY FARMERS
BUY TEN PUREBRED RAMS

County Agricultural agent T. H
Richardson, Humphreys County,
states that only recently 10 purebred
Shropshire rams, all good individuals,
were purchased by farmers of that
county, and that they are highly
pleased with them. Mr.. Richardson
says that the purchase of these
rams is the result OF cooperative
lamb sales where the farmers see
their lambs graded and are thereby
stimulated to grow better ones. In
order to do this, they realize that
they must have purebred rams. AT
ter the first shipment of lambs this
year, Mr.. Richardson realizing the
great need of better rams in the
county set about to interest the far
mers in purebreds. After some ef-
fort he was unable to get a single
farmers promise to buy, so he urg-
ed them to attend the next coopera-
tive shipment, in which Martin Hol-
land Of McEwen, who has a fine
purebred ram at the head of his
flock, had some lambs. Several or
the farmers whom Mr.. Richardson
had talked to attended, and when
they saw Mr.. Hollands lambs 1t was
the old story OF seeing is believing. =.
Five men placed orders for purebred
rams then and there Others plac-
ed orders later and some more are
going to buy soon.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-Unusual scar
city of corn here with the winter
crop movement at an end has given
much impetus this week to price
upturns in the corn market. Com
pared with a week ago. corn quo
tations this morning varied from
&c of to 4Ac advance, oats were
unchanged to Ac@Bc higher, and
provisions down 10c to 45c.
At times all other considerations
in regard to corn were eclipsed by
the fact that receipts continued
scanty and that no big accumula-
ton in Chicago or any Of the lead
ing terminals was now expected.
Spectators who had sold corn
heavily on account Of weakness in
sterling exchange and owing to
bearish opinions about the econom-
ic outlook we're forced to cover on
a rising market. Withdrawal of an
exchange rule that no individual
interest in the market should ex-
coed 100000 bushels failed to stop
the advance, which was further
emphasized by Official reports OF
serious damage to winter wheat.
Later, however, something Of a re-
action took place because OF Cos
sin that the upturns in values had
perhaps been great enough to dis
lodge rural holdings.
Oats were governed by the ac-
ton Of corn.
Decreased employment at the
packing houses was apparently
significant of the slowness OF trade
in provisions.

farm bureau have ended their cam
paiKn to secure members for tho
bureau in this county. Four men.
representatives, Of the Illinois Ag-
ricultural association, were In the
county to assist in the drive. 1t
was learned shortly after the cam
paign opened that Mercer county
had been so well solicited that
there are very few non-members
within the territorial limits OF this
farm bureau.
After two days of effort, the men
abandoned the campaign as unnec-
essary, Mercer county having al
most a 100 per cent membership in
the farm bureau. Although there
are few farmers in Mercer who
are not members, the number is so
small that q drive by outside Off
cials was not necessary.
