 This is belated story about Franklin K. Lane, who is a frienlly man. He has touched life at many points. He knows men and women of high and low degree. He meets the rich and powerful as an equal, he greets the humble with no taint of patronizing.
 On the boat trip to Muscle Shoals he met Colonel Gibson, a typical north Alabama planter. They just naturally drifted together. The colonel told me the secretary was a great man and the secretary told me that the colonel was q fine old gentleman. He invited him to visit him when he comes to the Con- federate reunion and the colonel is go- ing to do it.

KATE sANBORN

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 The death of Kate Sanborn at this time calls attention to her work as one of the pioneers in the movement for the cultivation of the abandoned farms of New England The book in which she detailed her experiences had wide sale. Many followed her eX- ample in seeking out old places run to seed" and turning them into homes fit to live in. There was then no such call for the cultivation of the soil as there is now, and every one did not have Miss Sanborn's success in rais- ing crops. But the movement was q beneficial one in all respects, and 1t helped to engender taste for country life which has been an important fac tor in the present efforts to increase the store of food. Miss Sanborn wrote other books. too. and was frequent contributor to magazines. She was brought up in the academic atmoS phere of a small town. she was herself professor of English literature at Smith college for number of years and by her lectures, as well as by her writings. she did much to maintain the old New England tradition of culture. She was a woman of great charm of manner and noble character, and her friendships with distinguished men and women were no small part of her long and useful life.

 When the war is over if New York refuses to make Broadway sober, the nation will, perhaps. In any event, the American people will no longer concede that Broadway may stay drunk or sober as it pleases.
 Our contemporary is to be congratu- lated on its clear conception of the general object of government, which is to regulate the morals and habits of Broadway. Regulation of Boston CT Chicago or Portland, Ore, is func- tion of the Legislatures of their states, but Broadway, in the theory of all pro- fessional reformers, is national in- lation By the same token, any law which restricts the liberty of Broad way is on it's face good law.

bit dwarfing to a human to stand by growing tree and know that it was living in the time of the Caesars
 
 Franklin K. Lane is the diplomat of the administration.
 Now he knows men, women and things and therefore has the ability to handle l them. It was treat to see him at re- | ception. He is a past master in glad handing and keeping the receiving line from becoming damned.
 He reminded me of the story they tell on General Lafayette. It seems that he always pleased every man who met him at any of the public receptions given in his honor.
 A blunt American, admiring and won dering at the ability of the polished Frenchman to get smile out of every fellow who gripped his hand in passing down the receiving line, asked him how he did it.
 Easy enough" he laughingly replied. Here is my system; I only have two questions, and they carry two replies When a gentleman is presented, I look him squarely in the face and ask him if he is married If he says yes reply smilingly. happy man. and pass him along. If he says no shrug my shoul- ders and reply, lucky dog. ?
 
 I do not know Secretary Lanes secret but I do know that he has the gallant LaFayettes ability to keep the line moving and smiling' I rather think his system sis to have no system, but to show friendly interest in all who care to meet him.
 Franklin K. Lane is politician. He is born mixer. I believe he told me he had for office six times I know he shied his hat in the ring in guberna- torial and also in a senatorial race in California.
 He just loves people. He has the ora torcal temperament. A great crowd was standing about the automobile in which we were seated. Turning he said to me; T would like to address them on Alaska as a place for homeseekers, on the recla- nation projects in the west as a place

He had it in mind to tell them that not merely one, but all of these degrees must be shared with Mrs. Dent It had been Mrs. Dent who had fought at his side in the years when there was not enough money for food for them both, frequently.
