our old friend Robt. J. Burdette says
of him: For years Colonel Sanford

me in the course, or was coming after
me. "But them" they add, this is the
third or fourth time he has been here"
All over the State his lecture tours
carry hlm-from New England to the
Northwest and Colorado. Rich in
material-no wonder, he has crossed
the ocean nineteen times, and is a
man who never travels a mile without
seeing something. Impressive in fig
ure, manner and gesture, blessed with
natural eloqucnce and a most delight
full vein of humor, that ripples through
his lecture, it is no wonder that Colo
mel Sanford is always in land of
friends, no matter where he goes. -
