<h3>A PRESIDENT, NOT AN EMPEROR.</h3>
<p>The President said to Colonel Halpine as respected the life-guards,
which he soon dispensed with around his person, often going out
unawares so as to "dodge" the escort in waiting:</p>
<p>"It will never do for the President of a republic to have guards with
drawn swords at his door, as if he fancied he were, or were trying to
be, or were assuming to be, an emperor."
