Dean Heefco followed tho reading of tho
resolutions' with 11 short speech, reviewing
tho life and character of the distinguished
Jurlfil. In tho early days Judge Maxwell
had been a potenl forcce In ahaplng tho
destiny of, the state..-JVilded , 'to this was
his tireless actlvlt'' nnd 'iagerness to as
certain tho truth.
Kx-Judgo A. M. Post told of Judge Max
well'K conscientious palrislnklng care In
preparing decisions while on the supremo
bench. He closed his remarks by Illustrat
ing his tender and sympathetic nature nnd
his unwillingness to allow tho Individual
(o suffer for tho sake of preserving Intact
tiny abstract legal principle.
Kx-Sonator W. V. Allen related tho story

his activity In behalf of his constituency
Ho was a product of tho school of nature
where all iircful knowledge must be ob

ind Is an ever present factor In the human

from books, not wholly from contempla

nnd known them. Ho knew them 11a Lin
coln Knew them, not from 11 study of 11
few Individuals of one social crude, hut
from n wldn knowledge of many, as ho
had met thorn In all stations In life. Ho
knew them as men. with all their vagaries
and limitations, as well nt virtues; not as
constant factors, as foot pounds or ethical
units, hut as men full of Idlosyncrarles and

all his decisions, the practical predominates

He liroug it to tho oftlce n wine nc-
riualntauco with tho fundamental prlncl-
pics of law, gathered uy nis own exertions
rather than by the assistance of the

and contemplation added to the end. This
knowledge saved him. ordinarily, from that
danger of exaggeration which constantly
liosetH tho judge, owing 10 tne nici inai
he Is srldom called upon to decide other
than minute points of law In any 0110 win-,
nnd seldom has time or opportunity to con
template the law as a connected and har

kept well In mind.
Another tpinntatlnn to which it Judge Is
occasionally exposed ho could not nlwuys
escape, it may some times nappen inai,
If tho law tdinll continue to be a body of
tlxed rules and principles on wnieh men
may rely In their Intercourse with their
fellow, and with the slate, an Individual
must suffer This tpldom occurs, but occa
sionally II Is true, As 11 rulo If Judge Max
well erred In hls'ileclslons, It was In this
class of euses. In clonic Justice In tho
concrete ho sometimes forgot the obstruct.
The moral law hail a nrm ho Id on htm.
nnd sometimes, when the civil law would
work an Injustice, ho resorted to tho
former. Such mistakes weto of tho heart
rather than of the head, ruder nueh cir

The great multitude take this remedy
without any other advice than the direc
tions to be fouml upon the bottle and In th
