ROOSEVELT HOST
vERBIACE VICTIM
Oxford College Don Can't Get
Language Straight.
ORIGINATOR OF SPOONERISMS

! Asked For Pigs FleaS" at Dinner,
Read First Line of Hymn as From
lceIand's Greasy Mountains" and
Described Wife as Hitting the Nose"
of His Child.
The heads of four Oxford colleges
gave receptions in honor of Mr.. Roose-
welt. One of them was at New col
lege, where the colonel's host was the
famous DR.. Spooner, who has given to
the English language the term "Spoon-
eriSm."
1t is doubtful, perhaps. If the quaint
little doctor has perpetrated one of the
verbal miXups to which his name has
been given, but generations of under
graduates have exercised their ingenu-
ity in fabricating examples. Most peo-
pie at some time or other have unwit-
/ tingly made a spoonerism, but the
( New college don is supposed to make
them all day long.
A spoonerism consists of the transpo-
sition of the initial letters of two or
more words in the same sentence.
Some of the best known examples at
tributed TO the head of New college
are supposed to have been made at
table or in the college chapel.
Wanted pigs FIeas."
Once when he wanted some stewed
figs he is said to have electrified a
luncheon party by asking a lady to
pass him the pigs feas. Those who
know the doctor would understand at
once that he was merely asking for
''the figs, please"
AT the same luncheon he is said to
have asked his neighbor to have ''Some
of this stink puff" pointing to an orna-
mental dish of pink jelly. In chapel it
IS recorded that he has read out the
first line of the we'll known hymn
which starts From Greenland's icy
mountains" as From Iceland's greasy
mountains" and has spoken of the
wicked men whose words were "as
ears and SparrOWs."
Once. when he was not officiating in
the service. he was surprised to find
some one occupying his pew in chapel
and addressed him sternly with Are
you aware. sir. that you ar occupew-
ing my pie?'
One of the Quaintest miXupS put
down to him is perhaps a phrase he
once used in a sermon. Speaking of
the vague. half formed wish so often
experienced in the mind, he said.
I'VE all know what it is to have half
warmed fish in u.s."
Transpostions Are Curious.
Late for dinner one night. he sidled
into the room with the explanation
that he had been Matching pasty
snipe" Even an old friend would
take a moment or two to translate this
into "snatching a hasty pipe"
His pOetical description of a gypsy
encampment as "a tipsy gent pitched
in a pot of grease" was even more
complicated OF course he meant "a
gypsy tent pitched in a grot of peace"
His description of his baggage TO q
railway porter as two rags and q
bug" was simpler
There is something forced perhaps
in his definition of happy evening as
reading quietly by the fireside. while
his dear wife was hitting the nose"
of his little one.
Dr. Spooner is an albino with the
weak sight characteristic of the type.
He is also somewhat absentminded.

him in an effort to procure his assist

charged that more than $3,000,0O0 in
legal fees was involved in the con-
tracts and that this amount will be
lost to the attorneys if the legislation
which he was fathering had been en-
acted.
This charge by Senator Gore stirred
the senate as nothing had stirred it in
a good many years, but Senator Gore
added to the sensation a few moments
later by declaring that the man who
attempted to bribe him had said that

contracts. He did not disclose the
name of the senator or the member
of the house, but he indicated that he

time. He charged further that a for

While Senator Gore was making his
charges in the senate, statements only
a little less sensational were being de-
livered from the floor of the house of
representatives by Representative
Murphy, a Republican of Missouri Mr.
Murphy charged that Cecil Lyon, Re
publican National Committeeman from
Texas also was interested in these con-

prevalent in a city it is next to
an impossibility for an honest

efficiency awakened hope that
the great city at last had found
a man equal to his task, but he
