ON COMPARISON 2 AND BEING in
LOVE.
Every impression. good OF. bad, in
this world Is drawn from comparison.
I II there were no fools there would be
no wise men, therefore, the wise ortes
should be thankful that there exists
the fool, while on the. other hand the
poor fool has nothing In this line to
be thankful for This is a funny old
world, but the best one we ever lived
In and We cannot draw n comparison
about it for we never saw another.
Speaking OF comparison, here's
where that verb gets In Its heavy
Work---when a young man Is in love
with "a real charming young lady,
There is no comparison to be made by
him between her and any other fe.
male on whom the sun ever shone.
Ear be 1t from that. The way the Y.
M:Eloest attempt to make the compari.
son is to take all her good, sweet
qualities and stack them up against
the faults of other girls, and the long
err he, does this the, more he becomes
attached to his ideal until he cannot
rest BY day nor sleep by night You
know love Is like the measles, we've
all got to, have. them and there Is no
danger Of catching< them twice.
Right there is Where you are going to
either say, Y had the measles twice
oril know a person who did,, Well,
at that the second attack was not as
bad as the ,8rst, and they probably,
didn't itch like the first ones. The
first attack was really the only QUE
you ever had, the others were i kind
Of "relapse"4iladn't got Completely,
lput your system-was Just the dying,
germ. So be it With love, when YOU
have been hit good, hard and proper,
have taken the count, you bet that.
You will never again love so hard.
God gave us only one heart and IN
that heart is the seat Of love- One
might discuss love until lie had grown
as bald as a billiard ball, had to put
on two pairs OF thick lens.glasses to
read a, circus poster and became old
enough to eat hay and he. could not
tell the one who has never been in
love, the one who has loved and lost
Or the one who is now loving, about
this subject. and one might as we'll
try to change the course Of the winds
as to change lovers opinion. When
one is in love he or she thinks that no
one ever loved so hard. so sincerely
and SO desperately. TITS well that the
lover 30 thinks. It makes no differ.
ence If it be In his youth, middle age
or when he is going down to the
grave, it Is the hnppiest period Of
ones life; It Is the sweetest thing in
Gods world to love and to be loved;
to live for another and that one to

makes the sun shine In all its glory
when there Is no sun; 1t makes him
feel that life is worth living and that
the only reason that he does not want
to die Is that he cannot love her while
sleeping in the grave yard and her on
earth mourning his demise. To be In
love makes q man change his collar
more often and brush his clothes more
frequently and II he never manicured
