1t is not necessary to be rich in or
der to he happy. 1t is not necessary
to be in love. Laughter and applause.
Thousands of men go to college and get
a certificate that they have an educa.
ton, and that certificate is in Latin and
tney stop studying, and in two years
to save their life they couldn't read
the certificate they got. Laughter.
1t is mostly so in marrying. They
stop courting when they get married.
They think we have won her, and that
is enough. All! the difference before
and after! How we'll they looked! How
bright their eyes! How light their steps,
and how full they were of generosity
and laughter. tell you man should
consider himself in good luck if a
woman loves him when he is doing his
level best. [Applause.] Good luck!
Good luck!
And another thing that is the cause
of much trouble is that people don't
count fairly. Laughter.l They do
what they c,ll putting their best foot
forward. [Laughter.] That means

If you have got any faults admit them.
If you drink, say so and quit it. Ap-
planse and laughter.] If you chew
and smoke and swear, say so. If some
of your kindred are not very good peo-
pie, say 50. If you have had two or
three that died on the gallows, or that
ought to have died there, say so.
|[Laughter.] Tell all your faults, and
LII, after she knows your faults, she
says she will have you. you have got
the dead wood on that woman forever.
Long laughter and ap-
plause. claim that there should be
perfect equality in the home, and
cannot think of anything nearer heaven
than home where there is true re-
publicanism and true democracy at tht
ireside. All are equal.
And then, do you know, like t.
think at love is eternal that if yor
really love the woman, for her SAX
YOU will love her no matter what sh'
may do; that if she really loves you 10
your sake, the same; that love does no
look at alterations, through the wrin
kles of time, through the masks o
years-if you really love her, you will
always see the face you loved and wop

old to him, and the woman who reall'
loves a man does not see that he grow
old. He is not decrepit to her. he
not tremulous. He is not old. lie

gallant fellow that won her hand an

down the hill OF life together, and en-
ter the shadow one with the other, an
as we go down we may hear the rippl

and the birds, and spring, and youth
and love will sing once more upon tn

to me there are some questions, as Il
