was in the presence Of striking '-er-
sonality. He had hungry and
thirsty mind for knowledge. He was
student Of books and men. Once
having mastered fact, it was always
his. He had an original way of
thinking and so clothed his thoughts
that many of his quaint sayings and
humorous bits Of philosophy will long
linger in the minds of men His mind
was logical and when once having ac-
copied the PREMISES of his thought,
it was difficult to escape the conclu-
sion To the end he was never dead
at the top, but died alarming
He was man OF strict integrity
in material and intellectual things
and out of This came bed rock con-
victions concerning politics and re-
ligion. He had large ability to make
and hold friends. He gave his best
to his friends and held himself and
all that he had subject to their call
In his going we feel a keen sense of
loss as when some stately cedar green
bows and goes down with a great
shout upon the mountain side and
leaves a lonesome place against the
sky"
