BERANGER'S HEART TOO KIND
Great French Poet Continually Preyed
On by Host Of Insrates Who
PIucked 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
a half-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:
"Oh, now, Beranger will just write
another song-the lazy fellow"

So Mr.. Eland tried to explain once

NEW YORK, April 2.--Campaign
observers are predicting that MichI-

Dental nomination-seven republi.

are entered in the preferential pri-
maries there. The one polling a plu.
rality in each party will get all that
states thirty delegates to his respec.
tive national convention.
While it is still comparatively early
in the pre-convention campaign,
Michigan is regarded as one Of the
pivotal states this year SO far as
the nominations are concerned. The
thirteen candidates are:
| Republicans S enator Miles Poin
dexter, Senator Hiram Johnson, Gen

Democrats-Goyerno Edward I.

Socialist-Eugene Debs.
Michigan is normally republican.
In 1916 it gave Chas. L. Hughes 33T,.

as "progressives.' Hoover hackers

situation. This is the first time he
has been put to the test politically
since his telegram to the San Fran
cisco Hoover club, in which he
aligned himself with the republicans.
Most of the candidates have made
intensive campaigns in Michigan.

The agreement, Palmer said, OBJ
tanned infinitely more for the people
of the United States than they would
have gained had criminal proceed
ings been brought against the PACK
ers.
The threat of criminal action forced
the packers to accept the decree, the
attorney general said, adding that in
dictments would have been asked
had the packers not made "a COM
plete surrender to the government" !"
ANY violation Of this perpetual In
junction will enable the government
to bring the big packers into court
and punish them for contempt Of
court"
Regarding the effect OF thesdecree
on prices, Palmer said:
Il believe this is a great long
step forward. ! do not promise it IS
going to mean immediate lowering Of
prices.
There is great strength in the
argument OF an efficient, big concern
resulting in lower prices to the con-
sumer, but it is the argument of the
efficiency Of autocracy. At any rate
what we have done, if we destroyed
that efficiency, which might result in
lower prices, we have killed autoc-
racy and returned to the freedom OF
our democratic kind of government
for business
Palmer raped the long congress

saying that no real results had been
obtained.
