In the hall Of the house OF represent.
atives there is a painting of George
Washington. He looks most COM
handing person., with the stature Of
giant and faultless physique. But
looking at the portrait recently a pub
lie man commented:
That is a good deal of sham.
George Washington never looked like
that, though I've no doubt he would
have been proud to appear SO. magnifi-
cent.
Notice the legs the speaker con
tinued. They are perfect beauties,
but they are not Washington's They
are the legs Of General Smith Of New
Jersey, soldier Of the Revolution.
1T happened this way" he explain
ed in conclusion: Washington had
quite unimpressive legs, and the artist
who painted that picture was so dis
satisfied with their shape that he per-
suaded General Smith to lend his
faultless members as models So.
