ROOSEVELT CONTRIBUTES
FOR MEb0RA CHURCH

The citizens of Medora and vicinity
|6ave had in contemplation tile building
kof Congregational church this fall.
Over ST, 600 has been raised among the
good folks at the Billings county seat,
with the promise of $500 from the Con-
gregational Building society of New
York, but the thing that pleased the
Meiora people more than anything else
is the gift of Col: Theodore Roosevelt
of $50.
Early in the summer Rev. J. S. Rood,
western superintendent of the Congrega-
tional churches, succeeded in securing
pledges sufficient to warrant the erection
of small church building, and at the
same time J. A. McGregor wrote Col.
Roosevelt to know if he would not like
to have part in the building, with the
result that when Rev. E. H. Stickney
was east short time ago. he saw Mr..
Roosevelt, who placed his name on the
subscription list for the above amount.
John Orchard OF Dickinson, who is the
acting pastor. presented plans to the
church last Sunday for the erection of a
building. They were accepted and the
trustees, Messrs. McGregor. Paxton,
Burgess, Peterson and Clemens, were
authorized to begin the enterprise at
once.
The new church site is in the north
west corner of the court house block.
During the eighties and early nineties
when Col. Theodore Roosevelt was in
Medora there were very few churches in
Western North Dakota and it was very
seldom that church service was held in
Medora. There is, however, a small
brick Catholic church there which was
erected in early days by Ma dame De
Mores. 1t has been used very little of
late years.

If it is sin and crime to strike q
fool what terms should be applied to

rob q weak-minded man of his home

Herald proprietors several days since
and we have tried our best tofind q
term, or terms, mean enough to brand
the contemplate sneak. We only use
one language. so if we should give all
Ct the English words to fully describe
the low-down. sneaking whelp we would
then have to wind up by adding-and
he is that twice. We will tell you the
story as it was told to US and perhaps,
if our readers have the knowledge of
several languages, we will be able to
join the forces and give the pup proper
name.
About four years ago simple-minded
man, Influenced by some kind-hearted
people, was induced to take up home
stead several miles east of town. He
filed on the land and established his
residence and. with the assistance oj
these same good people. has managed
to live very comfortably. The land has
been improved and last year this
simple minded homesteader was very
happy when he had grain to market the
same as his neighbors. He was getting
along very nicely in his simple way and
would have soon been able to make q
good tive-year proof and own home
that would be worth at least So, 500, Of
enough to take care of him as long at
he lived.
Right here is where this nameless cuu
aoti i'm his work. He had such asgood
eye for business that he went to this
weak.minded man and offered $500 fol
the poor fellows REIMBURSEMENT. No,
knowing the real value of money or be-
ing able 10 realize the value of hit

linquished his right and is now the nexl

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER
II farm PRICES ARE GOOD
IS CHANGE Wanted 2
What Farmers Are Getting for 1oo What They
Got in 19oo-Which Do the Tes of the Best the Old
the New? 1t May Be Well To Consider Before Election
November g. Comparison of Prices Interesting.

In all the cities -sand towns of the
country. the democrats are making their
campaign largely on the high prices of
living. They claim that there has been
an increase in what the public buys
from the farmer. of 100 per cent in ten
years. A circulation entitled How To
Save Your Money shows the prices that
were paid for pork. sausage, lard, beef,
butter, eggs, -four, cheese and poultry
ten years ago, and what prices are
paid now.
The farmers. as class, can have no
kick coming on these prices. even if
other classes of people are now COM
PEELED to pay more. The democrats
charge the republican tariff bill as
being the cause of those increased
prices. A list Of fourteen articles of
food, which are necessaries of life are
given by the democrats showing that
in 1900 certain quantity of such
products could be bought in the stores
for $50; in 1910 the same quantity
of the same articles cost SIC. .98.
The republican tariff and the trusts
are charged with being the cause of the
present high prices of farm products:
the remedy for this is ''vote the demo-
cratic ticket.
Farmers in North Dakota are being
urged by W. j. Bryan, John Burke and
all democratic candidates and demo-
cratic committees to vote the democratic
ticket. not only for John Burke, but for
democratic members of the legislature.
and they expect and hope thereby to
secure Two senators from North Dakota
who will 60 TO Washington and support
the democratic policy of free trade.
In 1900 the local market in James
town for No. wheat. the last of Octo-
Der. was IS cents bushel. rye As cents,
oats 80 cents; fax brought only $3.50.
butter IS cents pound. eggs 18 cents
a dozen. hay 50 a ton. new potatoes 40
cents bushel and other farm products
in proportion.
Today the farmers know what their
local prices are for grain and farm
products and what they have Leen the
last few years. Wheat is go cents to
ST bushel, fax $2.25 to $2.50
bushel. eggs 20 to IS cents dozen.
butter Is to 30 cents a pound. potatoes
IS to $1..25 bushel, barley So cents.
oats As cents. All farm products bring
high prices Wool sold in 1900 for
6 to 10 cents per pound, aeains 1S to
"a cents in 1910. And these prices
show only reasonable profits which
the farmer is justly making on his
labor and investment.
The democratic politicians and demo-
cratic leaders are telling the people of
the country that if the democratic party
is restored to power in congress- the
prices of food products will 60 back to
the old prices of 1900.
Do the farmers of this country of
North Dakota went this done?
If you do cast your vote, on November
9th. for the democratic candidates in q
short time you may be selling your fam
products at the old price.

upon them in the darkness from the
far end of their nest limb, or leaping
down out of the upper branches.
The nerves of all three were at their
highest tension when a dark form
swept past through the air within a
yard of their faces. Miss Leslie ut
tered stifled scream and Blake
brandished his club. But Winthrope,
who had caught glimpse of the crea-
lures shape, broke into a nervous
laugh.
It's only a fruit bat" he explained.
They feed on the banyan figs. you
know"
In the reaction from this false alarm,
both men relaxed and began to yield
to the effects of the tramp across the
mud-flats. Arranging the reeds as
best they could they stretched out on
either side of Miss Leslie and fell
asleep in the middle of an argument
on how the prospective leopard was
mostly likely to attack.
Miss Leslie remained awake for
two or three hours longer. Naturally
she was more nervous than her COM
panions, and she had been refreshed
by her afternoons nap. Her nervous
ness was not entirely due to the wild
beasts. Though Blake had taken pains
to secure himself and his companions
in loops of the creeper, fastened to
the branch above, Winthrope moved
about so restlessly in his sleep that
the girl feared he would roll from the
hollow.
At last her limbs became so
cramped that she was compelled TO
change her position. She leaned
back upon her elbow, determined to
rise again and maintain her watch
the moment she was rested. But
sleep was close upon her. There was
lull in the louder noises of the jun
gle. Her eyes closed, and her head
sank lower In little time it was ly-
ing upon Winthrope's shoulder and she
was fast asleep.
AS Blake had asserted. the mos
quitoes had either been blown away
by the cyclone or did not fly to such
height None came to trouble the
exhausted sleepers.

with one hand reached down with the
other to swing the girl up beside him
on the branch.
"All right, Miss Jenny" he reas-
sured her as he felt her tremble. "Sor-
ry to scare you, but l couldn't have
made 1t without. Now, if you'll just
hold down my legs wen soon hoist
his ludship."
He had seated her in the broadest
pat of the shallow hollow, where the
branch joined the main trunk of the
fig. Heaped with the reeds which he
had gathered during the afternoon it
made such a coZy shelter that she
at once forgot her dizziness and fright.
Nesting among the reeds, she leaned
with all her strength.
The loose end of the creeper had
fallen to the ground when Blake lifted
her upon the branch and Winthrope
was already slipping into the loop.
Blake ordered him to take 1t off and
send up the club. AS the creeper was
again flung down a black shadow
swept over the jungle.
"Hello Sunset" called Blake
Look sharp, there!"
''All ready" responded Winthrope
Blake drew in a full breath, and be
gan to hoist. The position was an
awkward one, and Winthrope weighed
30 or 40 pounds more than Miss Les
lie. But as the Englishman came
mi 90 81
he grasped it and did what he could
to ease Blake's efforts. few mo
ments found him as high above the
ground as Blake could raise him
Without waiting for orders, he swung
himself upon the upper part of the
creeper and climbed the last few feet
unaided. Blake grunted with satisfac-
ton as he pulled him in upon the
branch.
You may do, after ALL" he said
"At any rate, we're all aboard for the
night; and none too soon, Hear that?"
WHAT"
81 Lion, l guess Not that yelping.
Listen."
The brief twilight was already fading
into the darkness of a moonless night.
and as the three crouched together in
their shallow nest they were soon
made audibly aware of the savage ma
ture of their surroundings. With the
gathering night the jungle wakened
into full life. From all sides came the
harsh squawking of birds, the weird
cries OF monkeys and other small crea-
lures, the crash of heavy animals
moving through the Jungle and above
all the yelp and howl and roar OF
beasts of prey
After some contention with Win
thrope, Blake conceded that the roars
of his lion might be nothing worse
than the snorting of the hippopotami
as they came out to browse for the
night, In this, however, there was
small comfort, since Winthrope pres
emily reasserted his belief in the
climbing ability of leopards, and ex.
pressed his opinion that, whether or
not there were lions in the neighbor-
hood, certain of the barking roars they
could hear came from the throats of
the spotted climbers. Even Blake's
hair bristled as his imagination pic

The story opens with the shipwreck OF
the steamer on which Miss Genevieve
Leslie, an American heiress, Lord Win
a brusdue American, were passengers
The three were tossed upon an unnhab-
tied island and were the only ones not
drowned. Blake recovered from a drunk
en- stupor. Blake, Stunned on the boat,
because Of his roughness, became a hero
as preserver OF the helpless pair. The
Englishman was suing for the hand OF
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
TO the ship to recover what was left.
Blake returned safely. Winthrope wasted
his last match on a cigarette, for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was a dead fish. The trio started n ten
mile hike for higher land. Thirst at
tackled them. Blake was compelled to
carry Miss Leslie on account of weari-
ness. He taunted Winthrope. They en-
