HOW A GREAT RAILROAD PRES
IDENT MADE AN Sc YEAR OLD
LADY VERY, VERY HAPPY.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April %
Mrs. Julia Stevens is one of the
happiest women in the United
States. She has a devoted son.
Few women are mothers of rail-
road presidents, and some who are
have little reason to be proud of
their sons.
Mrs. Stevens is sc years old. The
anniversary of her birth is usually
celebrated at Mrs. Stevens home
in Utica, O., but this year she hap
pened to be visiting a laughter in
Indianapolis when her seth birth
day rolled around.
Forgotten? No!
The son George Walter Stevens,
who is president of the Chesapeake
& Ohio railroad system, remem-
bered the little mother. Important
matters connected with the rail
road demanded his attention, but he
would not let business interfere
with the happiness of the one dear
est of all in the world to him.
Stevens had his private car
hitched to a fast train at Richmond,
Va, and sped to indianapolis,
where he arrived Wednesday at
noon. Carriages took the mother
and other relatives from the up
town house to the railroad yards,
where the big car, containing other
relatives. was sidetracked.
1t was a brief TIT happy gather
ing. remarkable for the fact that
few great men show so much defer
ence to the mothers who taught
them the first principles on which

Since the telegraphic announce

show their good faith many of the

He made his way down Market

He found procession of several thou
