The term “fool” is not here use dj in the sense of an idiot or imbecile, but is applied to the person who does, something whith is contrary to the laws of common sense and custom.) An educated man, brilliant in his pro-! fession and looked up to by his asso-} ciates, may at the same time be a fool. A famous poet, whose verses and sonnets have gone down the years loved and remembered by millions of his fellows, came under the character- ization of Lytton when he gave up the mastery of his senses to strong drink. A writer of ‘the same age was a fool when he allowed his brain to become so clouded and«bterred through the use of opium, that he could no long- er give to the® world the great thoughts of a great mind. The annals of history are filled with the tales of men and women who, while honored and believed in, through some act of indiscretion, some giving way to a secret sin, some stepping aside from the path of pro- hity for a time, have fallen from the | pedestal on which they were placed,} divested themselves of the adoration ' of their fellows and become foois.
