LIFE, LOVE AND FOOTBALL.

You may as we'll compare life to q
football game. There are always some
chaps who will tumble the ball, others
who will lose it on the last touch
down, and only very, very few who
have the ability to carry it across the
line when there isn't but FIVE minutes
to play and the goal posts are still
forty yards away.
And girls have a good deal to do
with the way fellow plays the game
of life. OF course. there are all kinds
of girls; girls, and nice girls, and those
superhuman creatures that we wor-
ship, but never win.
