WHICH ARE Your

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 I'M
derstood
The good are half bad, and the bad are
half good.
Not the rich and the poor, for to count a
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 a
man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift fly
ing years
Bring each man his laughter ard each
man his tears.
No; the two kinds of people on earth
mean
Are the people who lift, and the people
who lean.
Wherever you go, you will find the
worlds masses
Are always divided in just these two
classes,
And oddly enough, you will find, too, I
ween,
There is only one litter to twenty who
lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing
the load
Of overtaxed filters who toll down the
road?
Or are you leaner; who let others bear
Your portion of labor and worry and
care?
