Send Your Child
to School.
We are gratified to note the good
showing made h}’ our school open
ing this term. l*rof. Browning is
well pieced with his corpse of tea
all of whom are new ones,
the exception of Miss Grimes.
Our prospects are for the best school
we have had in years. Every Coch
ran citizen should show his appre
ciations by taking an active interest
in its wellfare.
boost our school. Talk
school. There is nothing like in
terest and talk. We are going to
have one of the best schools in the
state, and we are going to help it
all we can by our united efforts on
its behalf.
It is the duty of every man to
• see that his boy or girl gets an edu
catioli. It is the educated man
whom the world is demanding to
day.
Send your child to school, regard
less of the sacrifice you have to
make and impress him with the
fact that he must have an education;
that he cannot expect to succeed in
any vocation without this very es
snetial neccessity. The time has
long since past when a meagre
knowledge of reading, writing and
arithmetic will suffice in equipping
your boy or girl for taking care of
themselves. They must have school
framing, school experience and
practical knowledge. Our public
schools today are the places for
them; the veay baisis for their fu
ture; the iiundations upon which
ithey can build a life which will
Band and hold its own ogainst the

Roosevelt Called
Liar by North
Dakota Man.
Eargo, X. D. Sept, (>. —A man
who fought his way to ex-I’re-i lent
Roosevelt and called him a liar gave
a had scare to the people at Island
Park io this city. Col. Roosevelt
seized the man and help'd O'- t
him from the; platform.
The colonel had just finished his
Labor Day address which was de
livered to one of the largest crowds
which ha.* gathered to e hut: >:.
his western trip. A heavy rain
storm drenched the people,- but
most of then sat through the after
noon in their wet clothes to hear
him speak.
As Col. Roosevelt spoke the last
sentence the crowd cheered and
there was a rush for the speaker’s
stand of thousands of people who
sought to get near enough to the
speaker and shake his hand. Those
on the platform pressed around the
stand and in a moment it was en
closed with a surging, struggling
mass of men and women. -Others
in the crowd jumped on the plat
form, pressed around the stand and
added to the crush. It was a good
natural, laughing crowd and the
colonel shook hands with every one
that could get near enough to him.
A small poorly dressed man push
ed his way through the of
people until he could get himself
beside the colonel.
lie wore a battered hat and was
unshaven.
“1 have a question to ask Roose
velt,” he shouted. II<: raised one
arm over the heads of the people,
waving it to attract the colonel’s
attention and called out again and
again that he wanted to ask a ques
tion.
Col Itooscvelt saw and watched
him closely.
Fighting his way through the
crowd the man at length reached
the short flight of stairs leading to
the speaker's stand. He mounted
the steps and stopped when he
reached the top. Standing almut
six feet from Col. Roosevelt he call
ed out:
“I have a question to ask you,
Roosevelt,” once more.
The men and women on tin
stand grow quiet. Col. Roosevelt
turned and faced him. Waving
one arm the man shouted:
“I want to know who is paying
the expenses of this trip of yours
about the country.”
The question angered the colonei
and his face showed it.
He advanced a step forward to
his interrogator and shot back the
a- lswer:
“I consider that to be an imper
tinent question,” he said. “How
ever, 1 have no objection to tell
you,” he added, “that the expenses
of the party are being paid by the
magzaine of which I am one of the
editors. ”
“You lie,” the man shouted so
loud that hundreds of persons in
the crowd could hear him.
As he spoke the words Col. Roose
velt stepped forward quickly and
si zed iiis arm just above the elbow.

Later lie explained he did not
know who the man was or what
his intentions were and that he had
taken hold of him as a measure of
self protection. He pushed the
arm forward, turning the man half
around so that he was powerless to
use the arm. It was an old man
ner of protection which he had
learned years ago the colonel said.
His vigorous action did not deter
the man from finishing what he had
to say. He shouted out:
“ Your, expenses are being paid
by the People of the United States.”
Although Col. Roosevelt was the
first to act, others ran quickly to
his assistance and even before the
man had finished his remarks, two
men seized him. The colonel did
not release his grip until the strang
er was moving rapidly from the
stand. He was ejected from the
platform and was swailowed up in
the excited crowd.
So far as is known, there was no
cause for the alaam, but the story
of the incident spread quickly
through the crowd and produced
considerable excitement.
In telling of'the incident later
the colonel said he had no idea who
the stranger was.
“Members os the labor organiza
tions came tome and told me that
they diil not know him,” lie said;
“They say that he had come from
out of town.”
An effort was made to find the
man, but all traces of him were]
lost. Col. Roosevelt said he was
not at at all alarmed by what had
happened. He merely caught hold
of the man to guard against the
possibility of any sudden move he
said.
