At It* Summit a Cairn Fifty Feet Hiflh, Constructed of Bowlder? of Native Granite, Ha* Been Erected. On July 4 thu liluck hills plolKM'rs honored the memory t?f the lute Oolo* uel Roosevelt by naming for hlin the highest peak In the Black hills. Timed to take plme '? during Uome-coinlng week for Deadwood uud other HlutK liills communities, this ceremony wtis u manifestation of t lie affection which all Hip residents of that section of the country felt for Colonel Roosevelt. Thu peak which will henceforth he kuown as Mount Theodore Roosevelt wua culled Sheep iuountalu or Uound Top. It Ik a detached eminence with an elevation of 0,000 feet, three nil lea from Deadwood. 15 miles from Wyo ming and 35 miles from the Montana state line. It la on the Black Hills forest reserve, and will he the center of u bird and game refuge also dedi cated to the memory of the ex-preal dent. All that section of the country has been lutlmutely associated with vari ous periods In the life of Colonel Roosevelt. The peak which now bears his name' overlooks the foothllla and valleys of the northern Black hills where the colonel hunted buffalo. In sight from the summit are his cattle range and his trail to Deadwood, a* well as sections of Wyoming and Mon tuna where he trailed cattle in h!s cowboy duys. Glimpses of the Belle Pourche, the Red water and other streams flowing down the valleys at tract the spectator. The peak and the territory around it are now embraced In the Belle Pourche Irrigation project which Colonel Roosevelt advocated when president. This is making an arid prairie over into fertile farming < country. The people of Deadwood built at the summit of the mountain a cairn 50 feet high of bowlders of native granite. T. A. Brown of Spearflsh, one of the colo nel's associates of years ago, obtained the permission of the locul committee to place in this monument a stone with the cattle brands of his old friend chiseled thereon. The dedica tion of this monument took place on Independence day, when a tablet In scribed "In Memory of Theodore Roosevelt, the American," was fast ened to one of the bowlders. Some Logic In Hie Protest. A good story was published In Le Figaro in connection with the news that a monument Is being erected at Tata scon In memory of Alphonse Dau det, the French novelist who has Im mortalized that quaint town by his "Tartarln." It seems that the town still numbers among its inhabitants persons almost, if not quite as eccen tric as the renowned Tarturln. The story is that a Torasconnais recently arrived at the local railway station with a mule, and after purchasing a couple of tickets, gravely led the ani mal tip the forty steps by which the platform Is reached. On attempting to enter a first-class compartment he found his passage burred. He waved his two tickets into the face of the guard and tried to" force his way in but the official proved inexorable. Ex claiming indignantly: "So many asses travel first class that I foil to see why a mule should not," the muleteer stalked away from the train. ? "Flan eur," in Indianapolis Star. He Knew About It. The other evening while doing home Nvork^frie small son of a minister was arguing and trying to convince him self that "congregate" and "collect" meant the same thing, for that was what his teacher had told him. Into the argument, which the min ister father could not help hut over hear. the said father broke: "What's that you are sayjng? That congregate and collect are the same word?" "That's what teacher said." "Quite wrong," replied the father. "You tell the teacher she Is quite wrong. There is all the difference in the world between n 'congregation* I and a 'collection.' " ?
