A PRESIDENT'S DAILY NAP.
[FROM OUR OW2T COKRESrojTDEST.]
"San Francisco, April 19. President Taft shows daily evidence of » clear conscience, says the Washington Times. Late in the afternoon, usually between four and five 'o'clock, the executive drops back in a big chair in .his private office and goes sound asleep. For sn hour he is lost to the world ; then he wakes up ready for more business. . The president sleeps sitting up. He fears that to drop down on a couch would result in a loss of time ; he could not wake up so easily. Therefore, he simply pulls a cap down. his eyes and takes his peaceful rest. This does not mean a suspension of business at the executive offices. Secretary Norton and his clerks are receiving callers just tho same. They despatch all of them who do not insist on seeing the executive himself. The others wait., ,No engagements arc made to see the President during the hour of the afternoon nap.
