Show ROOSEVELT'S "CORKING TIME." Mr. Roosevelt is undoubtedly having what ho himself would coll "a corking cork-ing good time." lie seems, in fact, to be having a corking good time whcro-ever whcro-ever ho goes, and whatever he docs. Ho had a corking good timo in the Cuban war. He forced himself iu where ho wns not placed. General Shatter, Shat-ter, in charge of the expedition, had no idea at all of taking any troops to 4ubn except the regulars. When Roosevelt Roose-velt marched his Rough Riders along the pier to an empty vessel and occupied it, the troops that were detailed to go on tha! vessel found Roosevelt and his Rouzh Riders . in possession, but. thoy crowded in, and then Roosevelt set up a clamor of being too crowded; ho never suggested, however, leaving tho vessel to thoso who had been detailed de-tailed to go in it. He had a corking good time right through, nnd thon he had the same later on in Cuba. Afterward he had a corking good time running for Governor of New York. Ho did not havo a corking good time when he was nominated for Vice-President, because that was very much to his dislike. However, after his part term as President, serving tho term in which ho was elected lo be President, he had tho time of his life; and said so to President Taft when quitting the While House. He certainly had a corking cork-ing good time in Africa. He is now having a corking good timo in Europe, according to tho reports of- his receptions recep-tions by kings, principalities, powers, and the populace. There wns never anything like it before in this world. Wo are glad to sec that he is having such a corking good time in his European Eu-ropean travels. We shall bo glad to sco him come homo safe and sound; and all will bo splendid if he will only refrain from running for President again. We can join with undivided hearts in wishing him a corking good timo all tho rest of his life, but nevermore never-more as President of tho United Slates. |
