**I HAVE ACCEPTED.” MR. LANE'S DEATH-BED MESSAGE.
NEW YORK, May 19th. "It was a bet on a high card with a chance to win and I took it. Thus Mr. Franklin Lane, former Secretary of the Interior,
haa whose untimely death calted forth national expressions of grief, described how he deliberately- gambled with death.
He died four days after an operation On for gall stones and appendicitis. account of the condition of the heart the operation had to be performed without a general anesthetic and afterwards his beart, on the ability of which to recover from the shock of the operation ho had staked his life, failed him,
After the operation, knowing the end was near as he lay in bed, his life slowly ebbing, he dictated the story of his great gamble; then in a few sentences of remarkable power described his feelings face to face with death, and enunciated his simple philosophy of life. When it was finished he asked that copies should be sent to all his friends, and a tew hours later he died.
