to visit the girlhood home of his
mother. But the warmth of the
greeting of the people of the town ,
and of file thousand.; of strangers
from the surrounding country more j
than offset the dreariness of the 1
weather. Large crowds lined the!
streets and cheercd the presidential j
party lustily as it drove from the i
