suit in ra via eoonty
whleh U4 cratiM Its weary was
through tb eourte for some etgbt o
ten years Ud abowttfe time the ease
was read te etoee a new lawyer eime
into fhocaaa'a Captaib Fisher's aide.
alio: on one occasion when tne Cap
nu ara out ot toe eoortroom uaior
Walton Said that .a. certain agreement
bad boM entered into in that case
some.seven of eight years before; the
sew Itwysr said; ."Well u it not m
writing guar It doai not. bind UeV and
I wi oa sbaerva it." About that
time CapUla Fisher cams into the
courtroom sod asked what the trouble
waa and that told him; and he said:
ea .tist agrsmnf was made and
binds yeVwd yotf will observe It
cet out f thatwindow? Now. all
of us b knew Captain. Fisher know
tast nr meant exactly what be said:
that hia word! van to another lawyer
more than aisr seven years before
would not only be observed by bim
but by at erybody connected with htm.
"So I say that wa are justified In
saying that this man reached the bigb
eatpoint of bi profession. . .
Tbe only comfort thst we can get
on occasions of this kind is to testify
to those charming characteristics that
nuke men think that their fellowmen
re great. Captain Fisher would not
are ma to extol as I said awhile ago
virtues that are common to the hu-
man raee bat it is perfectly proper on
occasions of this kind that wa may
take a retrospect of those who have
gone on lir-ordr to find a stimulus
to bigher purpdses to nobler resolves
a mora aaeureta execution on the part
ot those of us who survive.

'Aa a man he wasflblque Itt many
respects rugged snd indomitable; a
man that was as courageous ss Caesar-
nobody ever questioned the phy-
sical courst S of A. 8. Fisher. I recall
the last conversstion that 1 ever bad
with that other great Texan Judge
John G. -Townee ji kinsman of Cap
tain ruber. Aa I left hia bouse he
Said to me: "Mae you have been for-
tunate Indeed you have been the law
partner ot two of the greatest men
that Texas aver had; ue of them Was
A. 8- Fisher and If he ever was afraid
of anything nobody aver found it out:
the other waa John II Duncan who
waa born without any mental or in
tellectual fear." Bo the element of
courage not brute courage but calm
courage aa characterising the human
race has been an attribute that has
beea admired by all mankind through
out the ages because It carries in
variably that character of eonrare
that othev wonderful virtue kindness
ad tenderness because Jt hss been
said that the loving are the daring
ana taj tepaerest are s bravest
Captain Fisher hsd thst calm courage
that heroic courage that would have
made bim risk bis life before a pas
senger train to rescue a child. We
know these things we admire thebi in
hia make-up and that Is the reason
we revere him here today.
'Then he had another virtue the
virtue of sincerity. If A. 8. Fisher
told vou- anything you could rest as-
sured that he meant exact hr what he
said. Of course he might err like
other men err but you never ques-
tlAVIJMt thm Minwu that atafj1 klm
or the motive that impelled Wra be
cause you knew tnat behind tBe man
there was s sincerity that waa as
rUgged as the adamant hills and that
he was as stable and aa fixed a the
pour star.' xnere was nothing un-
certain about the man'a innate sin-
cerity. And with all that he carried
thst other virtue that goes as the
comosnioa of couraae and sincerity.
