In long lyceum trips innumerable autograph books met one at every turn, in the cars, depots, on the platform, at the hotel and in the omnibus.

"A sentiment, please," cry half a dozen voices.

One writes hastily different sentiments for each.

In this way I unfortunately used a pet sentiment of Matilda's.

So, here and now, I say to my autograph admirers, from New York to San Francisco, whenever you see "There is a word sweeter than Mother, Home, or Heaven--that word is Liberty," remember it belongs to Matilda Joslyn Gage.
