Mr.. Beamish's great forte was his
ability to make and keep friends. He
had smile and pleasant word for
everyone he knew, and those whom he
did not know hereabouts We're COM
paratively few indeed. Often, when
driving along the streets. he would
rein up and draw in to the curb to
shake hands with some lowly friend,
and at all times and i'm all his actions
he displayed no consciousness of SUI
periority. His open-hearted charity
kept him poor. although he always had
good income. 1t is said that he had
no regard for money, and was not
wholly selfish I'm his reach for power.
He was never so happy as when doing
a favor for friend.
An Unriinching Fighter.
Tn politics he was an unfiinching, Wig
orous fighter, and would never give up
until the battle was over, no matter
how discouraging the contest might
appear. He never held any enmity
against those who opposed him. but
would be as ready to do them a favor
as he would one of his friends
In his prime he was the undisputed
leader of the Democrats of this region.
