WENT AWAY WITH THE BOOTY
Elderly Irish Lady Proved She Was
Quite Capable Of Rising to
the Occasion.

Lord Spencer. when viceroy of Ire
land, used to keep open house. and all
ladies and gentlemen who had attend
ed drawing-rooms or levees had an un-
written right to attend the st. Pat
rick's day ball Some very queer peo-
pie used to present themselves.
Not contented with eating and drink
ing all they could. many persons used
to make predatory raids on the tables
and carry on eatables of all sorts. On
one occasion the comptroller saw a
stout, elderly lady take a whole fowl
and stuff it with considerable dizziness
into a somewhat capacious silk and
embroidered bag. He at once went
up to her and. pointing with his finger
at the Rag, said:
Madam. won't you tare some ham
with that"
The good lady was not in the least
abash-d. but replied:
"Ah. captain, sure it's joker you
are" and stuck to her booty.-Fron

A DOCTORS SLEEP

Many persons do not realize that .
bad stomach will cause insomnia.
Coffee and tea drinking being such
an ancient and respectable form of
habit, few realize that the drug-caf-
feine-contained in coffee and tea, Is
one Of the principal causes of dys-
pepsia and nervous troubles.
Without their usual portion of COT
fee or tea, the caffeine topers are
nervous, irritable and fretful. That's
the way with whisky drinker. He

To leave off coffee or tea Is an easy
matter if you want to try it. because
Postum gives gentle but natural
support to the nerves and does not

OUT OF PLACE.

The attempted assassination of Roosevelt at Milwaukee, last week, has brought forth in full force the newspaper moralists who seek for a cause in such exhibitions un- balanced intellectually and their manifestation in violent acts, as perpetrated by John Wilkes Booth, Guiteau, Czolgoscz, and now by Schrank; and most of them come back to the proposition that it is the incorporate discussion of public men and measures which fires the the imagination of the would be regicide, and fans to flame the latent hatred in his heart and murderous instinct in his brain until he conceives that he has been given a Divine mission to remove from Earth the object upon which is vented finally his hate and detestation in a murderous attack.
 The remedy proposed is that there be abandoned the fierce discussion of men and measures that has been prevalent from the beginning of free institutions, that press and hustings avoid epithets, aspersion of motives of political opponents, sarcasm, irony, diatribe, and all the rhetorical tropes em- ployed by spellbinders and writers In other words they want to make politics as mild and innocuous as a Sabbath School convention. Dc they suppose it possible2
 And were it possible, and had il  been possible during the past thirty years, and had Theodore Roosevelt followed the mild and gentle practice of discussion now proposed what would have been the 9ffec upon his brilliant and coruscatint career2 Why, aspersion of motive diatribe, irony, allegations O mendacity, have been his favorit, weapons and he has enriched thu vocabulary of epithet with numer ous pungent expressions that hay

captivated the public mind and delighted the groundlings. To have | left out all that from his public utterances and fulminations would have left them as tame as the multiplication table and denied him a hearing. Without his picturesque slams at men he op- posed and his mendacious allega- tions with regard to the policies he has objected to his speeches and writings would be as insipid and as flat as dishwater. And without the use of such methods he never would have called after him the great following he has secured.
 Take his course in the present campaign; Have not his opponents been showered with contumely and abuse? Are they not thieves and liars and all that is vile? Was not the nomination at Chicago in June stolen from him. Was not the Arizona delegation stolen? (Now right here THE OASIS has taken issue with Colonel Roosevelt and his followers. The Arizona dele gation to Chicago was selected and given credentials according to rule and precedent long establish ed, and the precedent was estab- lished in 1896 by Hon. Joseph E..
 Kibbey, who was then chairman of the Arizona Republican Territorial Central Committee, and who in this year 1912 refused to abide by his own precedent and led the Roosevelt bolters to the Chicago convention, where they were denied seats justly).
 While it may be that undigni6ed
 resort to incorporate speech in
 political campaigns and in discus sion of public men and measures has
 led up to resorts to violence by ill
 balanced intellects breeding over the wrongs they have seen magni- fled in the public press and heard from the hustings, it is unfortunate that the moral should have to be ' pointed by a murderOus attack upon one of the most persistent aDC , unprincipled violators of the pro posed ethical code of conducting public discussions. No one has done more to inhame the public mine l by resort to just such methods than has Theodore Roosevelt. AnC
