Pierre.-The funeral ceremonies Of
Judge Corson given in the rotunda of
dome, were attended by representa-
tives of various bar associations of
the cities of the state, in addition to
other prominent citizens, and Rev. H.
L. Russell, of the Episcopal church,
and DR.. o. O. Smith of the Congrega-
are attendants, conducted the relic
t0us rites, and Hon. Dick Haney, WHO
was judge in the supreme court for
many years with Judge Corson, deliv
cred the tribute to the memory OF
Judge Corson saying in part Of Judge
Corson's life and work: Having as.
sisted in creating a new
wealth; having contributed in a large
measure to the establishment of the
organic laws Of a new state: having
aided in adding another star to the
American flag, he took his seat on the
supreme bench where for full twenty
three years, he continuously dis
charged his different duties Of his
high office with pre-eminent effcien-
cy and fidelity. And this service, ex-
tending over twenty-three laborious
years. was all performed by this re-
markable man after having attained
the G OF 81; after having attained
the e when men usually regard
life's labors finished and all it's op-
pOrtunities past That he was
a man of more than ordinary ability
Is conclusively shown by the recogni-
ton given him in Wisconsin and Ne
vada as we'll as in South Dakota. Dur
Ing his residence in Wisconsin, he was
a member Of the legislature, and also
held the office Of district attorney of
Milwaukee county. While in Nevada
he again held the office of public pros
ecutor and witnessed the organization
OF Nevada territory. So for sixty

gagged in establishing social order and
enforcing or interpreting those self
imposed rules Of conduct and of prop
erty without which the wonderful de-
development Of the western. countrt
would have been impossible.
During all his long service as a Judge.
it is confidently asserted that he never
uttered one discourteous word to any
of his associates or to any member
of the bar, o can any opinion be
found wherein the contentious of the
counsel were not treated with due
courtesy and consideration. 1t truly
may be said of him that in his life,
his conduct and conversation, he al
ways displayed the qualities of a gen.
tleman. . When the occasion
demanded flrmness. nothing could
move him. In politics a stalwart of
the stalwarts, the decisions Of the SUI
preme court conclusively prove that
his judgment yielded to no influence
other than a desire to properly inter
pref the applicable principle of law"
The body of Judge Corson lay in
state in the capitol all OF Sunday
morning. beneath the dome, sur
rounded by banks OF flowers from de-
voted friends, and guarded by mem.
bers of the state militia of South Da-
kota, who in groups stood watch for
the various hours.

enthusiasm. He would not have come
ashore at all but for the fact that Elsa
had ordered the expedition.
There was no inclination to explore
the shops; SO they hired a landau and
rode about town, climbed up to the
quaint temple in the hills. and made a
tour Of the botanical gardens.
Isn't it delicious!" murmured Elsa,
taking in deep breaths of the warm
spice-laden air. Since her visit to the
