Late in the afternoon, aft-ernoon, usually between 4 and 5 o'clock, tho exogutlve drops "back in a big chair in his privato office and goes sound asleep. For an hour he is lost to the world, then hewakea up refreshed, re-freshed, and ready for more business. The president sloops sitting up. He never lies down during the afternoon sleBtas. He fears that to drop down on a couch would result in a loss of time. He could not wake up no easily, thoroforo, he simply pulls a cap down over his eyes and takes his peaceful rest This does not mean a suspension of business at the executive offices. Secretary Sec-retary Norton and his clerks are receiving re-ceiving callers just the same. They dispatch all of them who do not insist upon seeing tho executive himself. Tho others wait. No engagements aro made to see the president during the hour of the aftornoon nap. Washington Washing-ton Times. |
