1t has been said of the late lamented Col.
Bill Shelley that all he wanted was Prince
Hal to make him as great character as Sir
Jack Falstaff. The remark is only
partially true, for while Shelley
was possessed of a humor approach
ing the quaint and delicious
wit of Shakespeare's doughty knight, he
was wanting i'll the latter'S cowardice and
meanneSS. In paying him parting tribute,
the fairest buds that adorn his brow. i'll
deed, are the attributes of generosity and
his great love of humanity. He was strong
as adamant in his likes and diSlikes, and
even when hard pressed no consideration
could induce him to bend the supple
hinges of the knee that thrift might follow
fawning." On the other hand, his friend
ships were true and knit as firm as by hooks
of steel. He had been rich and prosper
Gus, and when the black clouds of adversely
encOmpaSSed him, in later life, his spirits
seemed to become more buoyant and he
withstood the shocks of misfortune like
a true knight. He was good story teller,
ready at repartee. the soul of sociability
and his hearty laugh would drive away the
worst case of the blues. His fund of pelit-
ical knowledge is as immense and accurate,
his acquaintance with noted men wide and
varied and under more favorable circunl-
stances he would have cut all important
