When the President Slept.

If it be true, as reported, that during sittings for a portrait President Taft has been in the habit of dozing off intd prolonged naps, it is to be hoped the artist will give a faithful reproduction of his patron’s appearance. Real art has been the handmaid ever of history. Some of the most significant incidents in that history have been made more impressive for men and women of later times by the work of master artists. If the president's 'portrait painter will give the world a faithful likeness of the man of the White House when asleep, he will convey to the present and coming generations an excellent idea of the condition of the chief executive when he allowed the Iniquitous Aldrich-Payne bill to become a law.
