tian. On the way the President saw four
aged Confederate veterans in gray uni
forms hobbling along the road, leaning
heavily on their canes.
How do you do?" said Mr. Wilson as
he ordered his car to slow up.
'sHowdy.' they answered. but passed
on without recognizing the President,
Further along the road the party saw
"Beauvoir," the old nome of Jefferson
Davis, with its tiny Office nearby.
The automobiles were covered with
mud and dust when they got back, for
heavy rain fell during the night and a
driZzle continued most of the morning.
At the cottage the President found many
kilograms congratulating him on his 57th
birthday. He took a short nap after
luncheon and started for walk late in
the afternoon. He had not gone far
when a little girl met him with a bou-
quet of flowers.
Many happy returns of the day. she
said.
The President thanked her warmly. 1t
was a simple tribute-the single visible
evidence, it seemed. that the outside
world recalled the birthday of the ma
TONS Chief Executive. 1t was a strik-
ago when Mr.. Wilson stood at his birth
place at Staunton, Va, amid the bril-
liant glamour of celebrating crowds, but
he appreciated 1t just as much. he told
his friends afterwards.
