possibility outside of America. And the
day has never lost its homeliness and sim
plicity. England may have her plum pud-
ding; France her entrees and sauces; Ger
many her cheese and pretzels; but We will
never desert our pumpkin. pie and roast
turkey. y common dinner in our colonial
days, with the well-tO-do. consisted OF
"a pudding made of Indian corn, with
molasses and butter; second course, veal,
bacon, potatoes, cabbage. carrots and
beans, with wine or cider" This was not
white or golden drips, but genuine black
molasses that was used TO temper the
corn puddings. For Thanksgiving the
meats included turkey or roast pig. and
larger spread of both vegetables and
pies.-Good Housekeeping.

There are two kinds of people on earth
to-day
Just two kinds of people, no more,
say.
Not the sinner and saint, for It's well
understood
The good are half bad, and the bad are
half good
Not the rich and the poor, for to count
mans wealth
You must first know the state Of his
conscience and health
Not the humble and proud, for in life's
little span
Who puts on vain airs is not counted
man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift
flying years
Bring each man his laughter and each
man his tears
No; the two kinds OF people on earth |
Are the people who lift. and the people
who lean.
Wherever you go, YOU will find the
world s masses
Are always divided in just these two
classes.
And oddly enough yous will find, too, !
There is only one litter to twenty who
lean.
In which class are you? Are you cas-
ing the load
OF oyertaxed lifters who toll down the
road?
Or are YOU a leaner, who let Others bear
Your portion of labor and worry and
care?
