When the news came TO Wall Street
on Tuesday that the President had

there had been added to the value of

Many of the standard railroad

the columnist, "the Pennsylvania rail-
road not only carried free the presl-
dent of the United States wherever
he wanted to go, but stocked the
train with choisest wines, cigars and
such. There were free passes for the
presidential party and no one paid
for anything. In the free-and. easy
days of William Howard Taft his
encourage frequently engaged in a
roker game after the president had

was anxious to start game, Mr..
Taft tarried in the observation section

cation showed that he was fast asleep

to get him to retire to his state
room. Finally, his physician, an army
officer, accepted the unwelcome task
of awakening him. Arousing the
sleeping president, he told him that
it had been a strenuous day, that he
was tired out, and insisted that Mr..
Taft retire.
Ten minutes after the president
had retired, the card game was in
full blast. In about an hour the
door opened unexpectedly and there
stood the chief executive in his
rajamas. The poker players were SO
cngrossed that they did not notice
him until he spoke. "I don't mind
