THEODORE ROOSEVELT GONE.

Theodore Roosevelt, Ex-Presi-
dent of the United States and for
the past thirty years one of the
leading figures in the affairs of
nation, passed away at his home
in Oyster Bay early last Monday
morning. Few people in the
country realized that he was
dangerously ill and were not pre-
pared for the news of his death.
1t is said that his health has been
on the decline since his trip to
South America when he con-
tracted a fever which had caused
him much trouble of late years.
Many did not agree with his
ideas and policies, but Theodore
Roosevelt nevertheless, was a
great man. His name will 60
down in history as perhaps the
greatest man of his time. The
following excerpt from the Sioux
City Journal gives a very good
insight to the character of the
man, Roosevelt:
He was a red blooded man
who sought the arena of battle
rather than the quiet Of the clois-
ter. He had no patience with
the trimmer or middle of the
road advocate. His blows when
delivered were from the should
er. He was not in sympathy
with the efeminate man whose
field of effort lay in the drawing
room and afternoon teas. He
believed there was mans world,
a world of effort and contest and
accomplishment attained only by
the vieor of manhood alive to the
call of red blooded and determin-
led offort. He live what he preach
led, and his sons have inherited
both his principles and his pur-
poses. They are far removed
from the mollycoddles he so
loathed. Because of this element
in his character men who failed
to understand the nature of the
man called him rough and said
he was lacking in the finer ele-
ments of the age. His life de-
MED the charge because with all
his yirility he had the heart of a
child. the sympathy of a woman
and the tenderness of an angel"

Mr.. Robinson spent the later
years of his life in Philip and
was known to nearly everyone,
and through all his eventful car
eer he maintained a reputation
for honesty to all. Always in
keeping with the law that was,
whether of viQilantes or courts,
or just as man to man.
He had many thrilling tales to
tell of Indian uprisings in the
the early days of the country,
in many of which he figured. On
many occasions he in company
with one or two men were forced
to stand off an armed band of
hostile Indians. He was consid-
|ered one of the best rifle shots in
the country, but never admitted
that he ever killed an Indian,
stating merely that he had shot
at many of them.
He was married to Veronica
Fortune, at San Francisco, on
May 3rd, 1865, Besides his wife
he is survived by three sons,
Joseph Abner, Thornton Judson
and Rivillo Forrest.
Philip people knew him for
years as a genial, kindly, pleas
ant gentleman. formed in natures

gentleman, none the less. He
will long be remembered as

PIONEER SOUTH DAkOTAN
ANSWERS THE FINAL CALL
EVENTfUL LIFE OF Jn0. n. ROBINSON,
ENDED LAST SATURDAY-..-WAS ONE
OF THE FIRST TO ANSWER the CALL
OF The WEST.

Hundreds of acquaintances and
friends will be shocked to learn
of the death of Mr.. John N. Rob-
inson at Philip, Saturday, jan
uary 4th. He had attained the
advanced age of nearly 81 years,
and for several months had been
in very poor health. At the end
there was at his bedside the wife
of his many years.
John Newton, son of John and
Mary Robinson, was born Feb
ruary %, 1923, at Greenfield,
Ohio, where he lived until the
spring of 1850. During these
early years he had become the
trusted aid of his father in rum
ming the large farm. AS his
father was large shipper of
stock he early began to help as a
drover, and made three trips in
charge of several hundred head
of fat cattle and hogs that were
drived across the Alleghaney
mountains to the stock yards at
Philadelphia, a distance of over
600 miles, making a record as
one of Americas earlies COW.
boys.
During these later years of his
life his mind, that remained clear
so long, enabled him to tell many
interesting things of that time.
The methods of feeding cattle,
crops, prices, etc. For instance,
the standard price of bacon was
one and one half cents a pound.
and four year old steers could be
bought for six dollars, and other
things similarly priced.
But the call of California gold
was too strong for him and he
joined a large company from his
neighborhood and started in the
early spring of so by boat down
the Ohio river and UP the Miss
issippi and Missouri to St. Joe
Mo. Then came the long trip
overland, paying the sum of $20C
for the poor privilege of walking
beside an OK team.
Enroute the cholera broke out
and one third of their number
died. He stayed patiently by his
comrades and nursed them as
best he could. Through it all he
escaped contracting the disease
to continue a trip frought witt
the severest hardships of hun
ger, thirst and fatigue that killee

thousands that awful summer.
He followed the life of a miner
for 10 years along the Pacific
coast. Six years he spent in
Alaska long before the United
States purchased it from the
Russian government, and two
years at old Fort George in Brit
ish Columbia. He was twice
shipwrecked and rushed to every
gold stampede within his reach
during these years. "Struck it
rich" twice and made a large for.
tune each time. He took part Of
his money realized from the sale
of his interests in the famous
Comstock Consolidated of Vir-
einia City, Nevada, amounting
to $4,000 and invested in cattle
which he attempted to drive
from southern California to the
gold fields of Montana. In a
month he lost every hoof of the
stock in the Modoc war, the fa-
nous Captain Jack and his Ind
ians making away with them.
At another time he was caught
in the Bitter Root mountains
and was showed in with two
mule loads of gold dust. He and
his guards narrowly escaped
starvation, thus bringing to him
the fullest realization of the
worthlessness of money in its
final analysis. This came with
in three months from a time
when his daily cleanup netted
him in the thousands, and they
subsisted during this time by
boiling and eating the old raw
hide thongs used to tie up the
posts on a deserted trapper's
corral.
Such was the experience of a
long life, ever a bit beyond others
in answering the call of wild life.
He reached Deadwood, in Black
Hills stampede of '76, going thru
all the phases of that famous
famous camp. Here his son R.
F. Robinson was born, the first
white native of western South
South Dakota. He knew Kit
Carson and was a personal friend
of Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill. He
helped lay out the body of the
latter after the murder at Dead.
wood, and was doorkeeper at the
trial of Jack Mccall for the kill
ing. He was one of the owners
| of the property in Deadwood
where the central school stands,
selling his interest here for
$4,000.

the life of this modern Robinson
Crusoe was the way he mournec

Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when a
young gentleman came into this office
and asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized
it carefully when a copy was handed
him, and then said: "Now l know"
what is it you are looking for" we
inquired. "My wife sent me after a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and l forgot the name. | went
to several stores and the clerks named
over everything except Chamberlain's.
I'll try again, and I'll never go home
without Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy." The Republican would suggest
to the proprietors of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith in
stores where substituting is permit
ted, to say nothing of the injustice
to makers of good goods and the dis
appointment of customers.

tain of the metropolitan clergyman,
having small enough occasion for more
intimate illustrations than go with
occasional attendance at places Of
worship. From these casual visits l
have gained the feeling, somehow,
that this is the limit of the intimacy
that obtains between urban priest and
parishoner. When l enter l follow
the gliding usher with hesitant step,
and take my seat softly, lest the earth
mess of my spirit so disturb the sane
tity of the hour as to lead to my ejec-

But my emotional crisis is reached
when, as not infrequently happens, the
clergyman comes through my aisle af-
ter the service. My first impulse is to
escape, conscious that l deserve full
well the severest reproof for the
wordliness Of my speculation upon the
possible wealth of Mr.. Jones, presi-
dent of the Second National bank,
whose high-collared neck rises above
the pew in front of me, or upon the
price (this, ! believe, is a more APP
propriate theme) which Mr.. Brown, the
street railway magnate, pays for his
pew.
No mar whose heart is in the right
place will let his mind get wholly out
of hand in this manner, and l steel
myself for the ordeal. Fortunately the
good mans purpose changes (if his
purpose was really punitive) and he
reaches out his hand in a manner that
