TRIBUTES OF RESPECT.
Ex CHIEF JUDGE ROSS.
St. Johnsbury, VT, Jan. 81, |

St. Johnsbury, VT, Jan. 81, 1908.
DEAR BROTHER DALE:
1t is with sincere sorrow that | learn
of the decease of your worthy father. |
had long known that his health was very
infrm, that he might finish life's war
fare at any moment, yet the information
that he had passed to the other shore
filed me with no less keen regret.
We came to the bar nearly contem-
poraneously and soon became fast
friends, and always remained such. For
nearly 80 years this friendship has con-
tinued without ripple of disturbance.
My early friends are mostly gone before.
There were none, unconnected by family
ties, whose counsel and friendship | val.
ued more highly. We were often in
early years associated or opposed in prac-
tice, and came to know and appreciate
his sterling qualities as man and a
lawyer most highly. He was large
hearted, broad minded, kindly sympa-
thetic, thoroughly honest, quick to grasp
the facts controlling situation, ready
to accurately read the characters of those
engaged in transaction, clear and forci-
BILE in presenting them, an earnest work
er, safe counselor, in demand as trier
of cases, and in portraying the character
of men. He was a reader and thinker
and had remarkable gift in clothing
his thoughts in forcible, attractive lam
guage. He was nearly the last of my
associates in Essex county. Memory,
precious memory, is pretty much all that
is left to me of early associates. While
memory lasts shall often recall your
father with much pleasure, his many
kindnesses, his courteous bearing, his
ever hopeful, courageous views of life,
his wise counsels, his readiness to ex.
tend helping hand.
Gladly would |, were it possible, be
present to pay the last sad rites to his
memory. cannot refrain from paying
this poor tribute. shall be with you
in sympathy as the last words are spoken
and his earthly form as it is consigned
to mother Earth. His noble soul has
returned to the Giver of all Good.
Sincerely Borrowing, Yours truly,
JONATHAN Ross.

HON. FRANKLIN d. HALE.

Mr.. Hale commenced by saying; One
week ago this hour was with my friend
Gov. Dale in his home in the midst of
his pictures and his books, those boon
companions of his through the months
and years; today, his friends and neigh
bors fill this hall to its utmost capacity,
gathered to pay loving tribute to his
memory. He had his oft expressed wish
to pass over the bar suddenly and with
out agony, Life, friends; hope the
twinkling of an We the glimmer of a
reflection - the passing of a shadow -
and then, eternal light, aud the revela-
ton of the mysteries The speaker then
referred to this last visit to his friend,
saying that with the exception of few
neighbors and the immediate family his
ears listened to the last earthly messages,
and as he looked into that face he was
thrilled as the great heart flashed through
those windows of the soul its light. He
said the conversation finally led back
into the past, when the Gov. seemingly
with memory pressing everything to the
front gave word pictures of the visions
as they appeared before him. He told
of his first legislative experience, repeat
ing with tremendous impressiveness
sentences which he used in argument on
the floor of the House more than forty
years ago to the overthrow of his oppo-
nent. His mind, said Mr.. Hale, was
perfect in it's action, grouping the days
and years gone by long since. Contin-
uing, the speaker said, he was long time
my senior, and intellectually greatly
above me, yet he was my friend; yes, he
was everybodys friend, for his heart
was large and tender to the extent of
reaching the needs of all in loving SYM
pathy and good will. His many spoken
and written eulogies bore witness to the
thought that he believed it best to let
the grave conceal the shade, only the
light in the life being retained in men,
DRY as an inspiration to lofty ideals,
high purposes and noble deeds. The
speaker mentioned number of men,
professional companions of the deceased
in the years gone, those who in the more
active years of his practice were asso.
ciates or opponents, and wildly drew
picture Of his meeting with them on the
other side. He expressed vision of his
meeting the beloved girl who preceded
him into the spirit world but a few
months, by saying: 81 see young and
beautiful maiden, with her countenance
glorified by smiles of joy, bending to-
ward him; hear the one word, father;
| see the strong arms reach out, encircle,
and press her to his breast; | hear the
words my child and the vision passes. ;"

BROTHER BISHOP:

BROTHER BISHOP:
You ask for "a few lines" as to the
late Governor Dale. Much might be
said, but little need be among your
readers, for they all knew him, appreci-
ated him, admired him, loved him. For
many years he has walked and talked
among them like kind father. Often
on occasions like this the HERALD has
had affectionate tributes to the departed
over the signature of &c. N. d." What
comfort to the mourning ones were his
sweet, sad, tender words None of us
can expect so we'll to perform similar
service to his bereaved ones, for his gift
in this direction, as in many other WAYS,
was most rare and beautiful. | had
known him for more than forty years !;
been acquainted with him for over
third of century. In all this period of
his endeavor, activity and usefulness, he
has been good man, a great man, a
grand man. He was one of eartb's
noblemen. When one looked upon his
features, listened to his voice, considered
well the attributes of his strong, lovely
character, he was irresistibly impelled to
the conclusion that here was one of

aud found hi:.., when alone, reading u |
aud from many conversations ! have |
had with him ON the subject believe lie
had an abiding faith in the Fatherhooi
of God, the brotherhood Of man, aud in
the guiding star of our Order, the
Saviour of the world. lie was true
knight of the Cross, teaching by precept
and practice in his own life the princi-
Piles of the Order. lie was a vigorous
writer and with we'll stored mind he
grasped his subject aud all of its details,
aud like the master painter who with
his brush puts that upon the canvas
which pleases the eye, he with his pen
brought out all the shades and colors of
his theme to the delight and inspiration
of all his readers. Often representing
his town and county in the legislature he
was recognized as an able aud honest
legislator. lie was man of strict in
tegrity, modest, unassuming, and con-
siderate of the rights of others. Such
official positions as he had held (and
they are many were not sought for hut
were thrust upon him. No responsibility
was assumed that he did not discharge
with credit to himself and to the salts
faction of all who trusted him. As .
citizen he was always interested in the
welfare of his town, county and state.
He was not only generous to the poor
and humble, but he gave that which was
oftentimes worth more than money, his
time, for though busy man with cases
and matters of great Importance demand
ing his attention, when they sought him
he freely gave as kindly and courteous
attention to their troubles as he could
have given to rich and powerful client.
Nothing delighted him more than to
help by his time, advice, and counsel,
struggling young men, as many can tes-
tify. In such confidence was he held by
his neighbors and townsmen and by
other communities where known, as to
ability and integrity, that in knotty and
perplexing questions all instinctively
turned to him for counsel and advice
and were never disappointed. As a
friend there could be none truer, and his
friendship was not of passive kind but
always active. He was a kind father
and most dutiful son. Great in intel
lect and generous in heart he touched
more lives for good in all this section
than any other man have ever known
| am sure all who have ever intimatel,
known him feel that they have sustained
personal loss. The tallest oak of the
forest has fallen. Let us as we go ou
from this presence to take up the dutie
of life cherish his memory by practicins
his virtues.

a fitting expression OF genuine eulogy
he quoted from the same book the words
spoken of this friend by Mr.. Dale. lie
paid further tribute to Mr.. Dale's great

worth to the community and state, aud
closed by quoting the las: lines OF his
beautiful eulogy upon his friend, William

HON. HENRY 0. KENT.
Commander, Gentlemen Of The Temple,
Brothers and Friends -

Commander, Gentlemen Of The Temple,
Brothers and Friends: -
l have been requested to speak for
North Star Commandery at these obse-
9uies, in loving memory and fraternal
appreciation of the gallant gentleman
aud true Knight, our fratre who, having
fought the fight of life, has laid by his
armor and entered into rest. After a
period of elemental war the storms sub
side, nature is at peace, the heavens
smile serenely and the sun ilumines a
perfect day, wherein we assemble to give
back to mother Earth that which is NOR
tai of loyal sou.
There is nothing new under the sun.
The generations repeat and crowd each
other on the march to eternity.
I'VE are the same that our fathers have been
We see the same sights that our fathers have
seen;
We drink the same streams and we see the
same sun
And we run the same course that our fathers
have run"
And yet, so strong is the sympathy we
feel for those of our acquaintance and
number who have finished their mortal
career, that we naturally and gladly
assemble on occasions like the present to
testify to the worth of him who has gone,
to give expression to our regard for his
virtues, to declare our devotion to his
memory, and to afford the most precious
evidence possible to surviving friends
that we share their sorrow in their time
of bereavement.
Our brother was gallant gentleman,
devoted to the Order, exemplifying its
tenets through an active and notable life.
In an address delivered by him five years
ago, within the asylum at Lancaster, on
the occasion Of the induction into office
of an eminent, worthy and devoted
Knight, here present, C.. R. Magoon)
as Eminent Commander, he was kind
enough to refer to the fact that he re-
csived Knighthood at my hand, and in
remembered language to emphasize that
fact as of pleasant import at the time
and OF gracious memory thereafter.
With this reminder, may be pardoned
for saying-with the Douglass-as
said once before of noble man and
worthy Knight of the North Country
when about to be borne to rest:
"sir John of Hyndford, twas my blade
That Knighthood on thy shoulder laid!"
After his pilgrimage of nearly 40 years
it is my sad privilege to join in his OBJ
sequies and attest the enduring fidelity
of his career.
North Star Commandery comes to do
his memory honor. Under our banners
are enrolled three hundred worthy
Knights, men active as leaders in the
intellectual, mental and material progress
Of the region. Among that great host
are none more deserving of honor than
our brother, now silent in our midst.
would that the old Beauseant of the
Order was draped above his bier, the
Standard of the Temple, as decreed at
Jerusalem. Half white and half black
were its sweeping folds, to typify that
the Order was pleasant and helpful to its
friends, but black and terrible to its
enemies. To my mind more severely
significant this Ancient Standard, under
which our brother made his vows-than
