Beautiful Tribute to
Life of D. E. MORGAN

A beautiful tribute to the lif. of
former Chief Justice D. f. Morgan of
h supreme court was paid by for
mer Justice Guy G.. Fl. Corliss. who
was in Bismarck this week. His re-
marks were addressed to the mem-
bers Of the supreme court, and fol-
low:

my way east from Portland. l was

city only a few hours. and therefore

his life n achievements. l ask the
indulgence of the court for a brief
period that | may speak a few words
in honor of his memory. .
l loved him. What person who
knew him through and through could
refrain from loving him? His friends
in the state were IA legion. and they
were devoted friends, deeply attached
to him. and willing to make sacrifices
for him. But this was not strange.
He had in him those qualities that
win the homage of the human heart.
He was as sweet and gentle as a wo-

others ever passed his lips. To the
unyielding integrity that made him
stIct in his judgment of himself. he
united n large hearted charity that
made him lenient and kindly in his
Judgment of others. He had h are
faculty Of putting himself in the
place of another. He could interpret
ton that surrounded those who had
erred. and he always magnified the
temptation and minimized the fault.
He was a man of exceptional mod
esty. All through life. he moderated
his own knowledge and ability as a
lawyer and as a judge. His %diffidence
and distrust amounted almost to a
fault. 1t was perfectly sincere. There
was no note of affectation in 1t. But
it had the effect of really impairing
at first his strength as a magistrate
when. he was elevated to the supreme
bench. During the first year OF two
OF his service o N this court he ap-
peared to be SO doubtful about the
%soQndness Of his own views that his
early work lacked the strength he
afterwards displayed as a Judge. But
this soon wore off. and from that
time on up to the day Of his resigna-
ton last fall. no steadily grew in
power n breadth of Judgment. At
the time he left the bench. I believe
that II was the gcperal opinion OF the
legal profession that his retirement
was a distinct loss to the state. to this
court. and to the administration Of
Justice.
Nature gave him The ideal judicial
temperament. His Judgment was
sound and wise. His exquisite ur-
banity on the bench was the natur-
al outflow of his gracious and kindly
disposition. Long experience in jud-

Hereford Cow Gives Birth to -Four
Calves.

Born, to a Hereford COW on the
Arthur Russell farm, near Iowa City,
last week, four calves, all alive and
kicking.
The remarkable contribution to
the live stock of prominent john
son county farmer is believed to be
without parallel in the state. There
are two black and two red calves.
One of each has a white face. They
include three steers and a heifer.
All four look exactly alike except as
to color, and all are of size.
The mother COW recognized the
whole quartette as her own, but the
task of feeding them was too much
for her and two of them will be put
with other COWS. The way in which
Mrs. Hereford keeps the children
rounded up is highly entertaining to
the neighborhood.
The mother is a black COW, five
years old and had had two calves be-
fore she became mother to the quad
ruplets, but they came singly. There
have been instances where three
calves have been born to a COW, but
they have generally been unhealthy.
These four are as active and healthy
looking as any that can be found.
