His more permanent judicial reputa-
ton must, however, rest upon his opin-
ions in Volumes 10 and 20 of the official
reports of the state. His style was re-
freshing and vigorous His mind was
inclined to analysis and directness. He
thought and spoke as a judge incisive-

lions, having unusual professional
learning, common sense and that in
dispensible quality of a judge-wise
judgment. In consultation he was toll
Grant, open-minded and anxious to
know the full strength of each side. But
when he came to a conclusion Justice
Buck was firm.
There was beautiful simplicity to
his character. He was manly and low
ed justice and fair play, while he de-
spised fraud and was impatient of re-
fined subtletieS. The moral side of a
case appealed to him strongly. He
wished to apply principles of right to
the matter before him, for he knew
every decision should be based on plain.
unqualified right. His administration
of the law has materially advanced the
good name of Montana.
As companion Judge Buck was truly
an amiable man. He was sympathetic,
affectionate and tender. With these
characteristics, however there was
courage unequalled. He was fond of
anecdote, loved out of door sports and
admired the good parts" in all men,
A marked trait in him was his aversion
to public display. 1t was impossible to
make him speak to an audience He
loved the association of friends, but
was reticent among strangers. Life
was certainly pleasant to him. He had
the qualities of men who must enjoy
living and he was always agreeable
with his associates. Ii is nevertheless
true, though. that he felt the high re-
sponsibilities of his late position, for he
remarked not long before his death that
IL was satisfaction to him to feel that
no matter how much a good lawyer
might disagree with the conclusions
reached by the supreme court of the
state, he must respect the labor ex-
pended by the judges and their efforts
to not overlook the questions presented.
His associates had a great love for
him. In consultation his presence wac
charming, no matter what differences
of views arose. When he died he must
have been conscious of having well done
that his attributes of character haG
won for him the respect, the confidence,
the affection of the people.
Judge Buck died universally la
mented Those who come after him
will do well to strive to attain a like
measure of usefulness in their day.

Horace r. Buck was of the blood of
the Huguenots, tracing his descent from
the French Marquis Calme, a nobleman

andoah Valley, Va, about 1880. His

daughter of Richard Barnett, a Vir-

L. Buck, who was q distinguished law

Is worthy of note that Charles l.. Buck

In 1869 the Louisiana plantation had TO

trict judge in Silver Bow county. seTv-
ing In that office until, ia 1898, he as
sumed the chief justiceship as the sue
cessor of Judge Blake. Judge Pember-
ton is man who has a warm place
in the esteem of the people Of Montana.
They know him as a progressive citi-
gen. as man of sterling worth, as q
gifted lawyer and as an upright judge.
With all of Montana's history Chief
Justice Pemberton is intimately ac-
quainted and his own career is a part
of the states life His ability and per-
sonal fitness have graced the highest
and most honorable Office in the gift of
the people of the commonwealth. His
surviving associate, Judge William Fl.

who have been elected To the supreme
bench. Judge Hunt comes Of dis

spent some time at Yale, his health for
bidding him to complete his course. He
read law III New Orleans and he was
about of age when he started for the
West and settled at Fort Benton. In
territorial times he held the office of
district attorney. Judge Hunt and the
late Judge Buck We're associated as
partners in the practice OF law at Fort

from the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Why one takes cold easily lying down
with their clothes on and why the neces-
sity OF cover during sleep is because ma
ture takes the time when one is lying
down to give the heart rest, and that
organ consequently makes 10 strokes per
minute less than when one is in an up
right posture. Multiply that by 60 min
utes and it is 600 strokes. Therefore, in
eight hours spent in lying down the heart
IS saved nearly 5000 strokes, and as the
heart pumps six ounces of blood with
each stroke, it lifts 10000 ounces less of
blood in night of eight hours spent in
bed than when one is an upright posi-
ton. AS the blood flows so much more
slowly through the veins when one is ly-
ing down. one must supply them with
extra covering the warmth usually fur
nished by circulation

who survive him.
His first appearance in a public posi-
ton was in the territorial legislative
