to deliver the Romanes lecture at Ok
ford university and in all probability
the honorary degree of d. c. L., which
Oxford has bestowed on Emperor Will
lam, will be conferred on Mr. Roose-

The versatility of Mr.. Roosevelt will
be shown by the fact that he will
speak German in his address before
the students of the University of Ber-
lin, French in his lecture at the Sor
bonnie, and English in delivering the
Romanes lecture at Oxford.
Pays His Own Expenses.
Mr. Roosevelt will defray the ex-
penses of himself and his son on the
African trip, but those of the scien-
lists and the cost of preparing the
specimens and shipping them to Amer
lea will be paid out of fund secured
for the purpose by the Smithsonian
institution.
One. of the objects of Mr.. Roosevelt
in taking this trip is for the purpose
of collecting material for writing sew
eral books regarding his experiences.

giving that firm all the rights for the
serial and book-form publication of
whatever he might write on his visit
to Africa. 1t is said that the contract
price agreed upon is 81 per word,
but this never has been verified.
No Slaughter Of Animals.
Even if the British colonial govern
ment should offer to throw open to Mr..
Roosevelt and his companions the AT
rican game preserves under its con-
troll, the ex-president will refuse to
take advantage of this opportunity.
Like other true sportsmen, he believes
that the utmost protection should be
given to wild animals on reservations
and that permission to kill them
should not be given or accepted under
any circumstances unless, possibly,
when predatory animals are becoming
too numerous.
Moreover, the killing of animals for
sport is not the main object of his trip.
Mr.. Roosevelt hopes to send back to
the Smithsonian institution two adult
specimens, one of each sex, and q
specimen of their young, of animals
he meets with on the Dark Continent,
Beyond this the killing will be linn
tied to the demands of the commits.

HELP DESERVING BOYS
kenn1ars Journal Urges Careful Con-
sideration When Boys Appeal 81
Help.

Kenmare journal: Hardly a day
passes that some bright-eyed boy does
not apply at The Journal Office, asking
us TO guide him to someone who win
give him work, whereby he may earn
his board while he goes to school. And
as these promising young men present
themselves and make their Inquiries,
their eagerness for knowledge and their
Willingness to work appeals to the
senstbilities Of the writer. It takes him
back to thirty years ago when condi-
tions caused a cold, heartless world to
slam the door Of opportunity, educa-
ton and honest endeavor in his face
at every turn. No one cared whether
the boy got along or not. He cared
not what the work was or what the
board was if he could only have the
chance to learn. Everybody was too
busy to give consideration; couldn't
afford 1t; didn't need anyone, or they
really didn't care.
And as he looks into these faces to-
day sees possibilities of the man; men
of state; giants of finance; great work.
ers OF the future ;-if they find the OPP
portunity. We read in our histories OF
the trials and disappointments in the
boyhood days of our great men and
do we not find boys in our own midst
struggling as did they? While it is true
the conditions of today are not so prim-
alive as those of former generations,
yet the boy OF today has a greater
field of competition to meet, and his
struggle for excellence will be more
hotly contested by an hundred fold
than those of the boy of several gem
eratiens ago The requirements in
business today are so much stricter and
the paths becoming so much narrower,
that the boy without an education will
have much harder time to succeeded
than did his father or forefathers. Only
few days ago a lad of Is years APP
piled for place where he could earn
his board while he went to school. He
was willing to do anything put up
with anything If ne could only go to
school. He had no money. and If ne
could secure no employment he said
he would have to return to the hills,
work for a farmer and miss school.
He was bright, clear headed and If he
was given an opportunity would un-.
doubtedly make a splendid business
man, but on the other had what might
disappointment in this sort lead to?
So let US appeal to all who possibly
can, to help the boys, You may be-
helping a ruler, a great merchant or a
director Of great things in embryo. The
future pillars of our nation are in
school today, and we cannot always see
the gem in the rough. When within
your power-help the boys.

HARD TO SETTLE
OUT OF COURT
MOUNTAIN AND WARD COUNTY
SETTLEMENT WILL HARDLY
BE MADE OUT or COURT.

Minot, N. D.. Dec. 2O.--Though there
seems to be little question as to the
resources and liabilities Of the coun-
ties Of Ward and Mountrail, two wide
ly varying interpretations OF the pres
ent law prevents the boards Of COM
missioners from arriving at a settle
ment
The Ward county board holds that
in preparing the figures ON the value
of the county buildings a reasonable
amount should be deducted for usage
and wear while Mountrail would
charge up the cost price. There Is
also a dispute regarding the owner
ship of the roads and bridges. Ward
county contends they belong to the
state and should not be charged up
against the county, while Mountrail
includes them in the account.
Ward county claims $4,000 coming
from her offspring, while Mountrail
wants an equal amount from Ward.
The settlement will undoubtedly be
taken to the courts.

bright and some dull, representing the

BURGLARY At FORBES
PostofFiee Building Entered Through
Broken Window-ThieF Evidently
So Amateur.

Forbes Republican Last Friday
morning about o'clock some party or
parties broke the glass in the window
on the left side near the front en-
trance of the postofflce and entered
with the intention of robbery. The G.
F. Laid family live over the store and
as the glass fell Mrs. Laid was awak-
ened and called her husband who got
up, dressed and went down stairs to see
what was wrong, but the thief knew
he had aroused the family and left the
place hastily.
The night before Mr.. L.add was at his
desk in the postoffice up to late hour
making out monthly statements for
the telephone system and as he retired
for the night left the accounts and
telephone record book lying on his
desk. The next day he went to see
what was taken by the thief who had
only been to work for few minutes
and Mr.. Laid found lot of accounts,
memos, etc, pulled out Of the pigeon
holes in the desk and that about two
thirds of the accounts he had made
out the night before and also the tele-
phone record book were missing.
On Saturday morning James Evans
went over to his barn opposite the de-
pot to take care Of his stock and on
the way found some OF those telephone
accounts that were stolen, and Frank
Laid set out at once to see if any more
Of the stuff could be found in that
neighborhood. He finally went over
towards the elevators and under the
driveway at the Hawkeye elevator he
say his telephone book sticking out
partly in the snow and beside 1t found
box of cigars that were taken by
the thief.
There is some strong suspicion as to
the guilty parties and they are under
surveillance and IL the evidence is link
ed against them they may have to dc
some time at the state penitentiary.
This Is the first burglary that has
taken place in Forbes, and if these
parties had not been discovered as they
were, might have carried away some
more articles OF greater value.

CLAIM FRAMEUP
ON MERCHANTS
ORGANIZED GANG TRYING NEW
i SCHEME ON SECOND HAND
MERCHANTS or CITY.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 2O.-Tnat a new
scheme is being tried to obtain money
from the second hand dealers of the
city is the belief of the city .officials.
and a determined effort Is being made
to secure the inside facts in the case.
1t is believed that the gang when
out on a spree takes the coat or other
property Of one Of their members and
pawns it at the second hand store.
The man who lost the property then
makes a kick and the property is re-
pleyined. If the second hand man OBJ
jects the money is usually paid, If not
the gang keeps the proceeds.
Two cases are now on in police court
which it is expected will bring to light
some Of the facts.

WOLF HUNT
Party of Hannah Citizens Enjoy After
noon of Sport-Portly Citizen
Used Cutter

Hannah Moon: Bright and early
Saturday morning four of our towns
men started into the country in search
of big game. Eight gallant hounds,
each with a record for Tipping wolves,
constituted the vanguard; c. M. Law
son and Will Staff, well mounted, set
the pace for Melville Hill and DOC"
McNab who did double duty for the
eommissary department. and rear guard.
The latter, like the 'fox hunting par
sons" of old, looked carefully to bodily
comfort and accordingly were costly
enrobed in a portland cutter.
Straight away to the aromatic center
OF Linden township the band sped, cut
ting a wide swath through the keen
December air. Docs" audible chuckle
could be heard amid the rush of many
feet. An old grey wolf OLA scientific
turn of mind was enjoying a light
luncheon preparatory to surveying the
proper location for the international
boundary line. His observations were
purely personal The wolf bounties of
the two countries placed price upon
his head and he decided to forage in the
one paying the best price
f5uuQeQly MS acute ear Caught the
sound from over the prairie as of a
rushing wind Self-preservation is an
unwritten law Of life and me made a
break due west for Sid. Ackland's tall
timber. But the living storm was close
on his heels. Snowdrifts badger holes
plowed land prairie-all vanished be-
fore the eyes of the flying squadron.
The top cutter rolled and plunged like
a boat in heavy sea, byt doc" didn't
care; his blood was UP. At the front
the wolf finally took his last leap, loop
ed the loop, and disappeared amid a
veritable dog storm. DOCS" lusty
cheer was the first indication the
horsemen had that the rearguard still
considered themselves in the game
The trophy was brought to town and
proved to be a genuine ''prowler of the
i prairie"
