Two Kinds.

There are two kinds of people on earth
today;
just two kinds of people, no more, 1
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
q man 5 wealth,
You must first KIN wv 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 counte
man.
Not the happy. and sad, for the swift
flying years
Bring each man his laughter and eacr
man his tears.
No, the two kinds of people IN earth
that | mean
Are the people who lift and the people
who lean.
Wherever you go you will find thu
world 5 masses
Are always divided in just these TIVE
classes;
And, oddly, enough, You will find, too
| ween,
There is only one litter to twenty VIII
lean.
In which class are you3 Are you easing
| the load
OF overtaxed filters who toll down tn
roal?
Or are you a leaner, VIII, lets other
bear
Your portion of labor and worry an
care?

NORTON S TAVERN BURNED.
Landmark at Claremont, N. H, Built
More Than $50 Years Ago.

CLAREMONT. n. H., March >. -
The burning of the home of Charles A
Sanderson yesterday took away one of
the historic landmarks of this town,
which was one of the first turnpike tav-
erns in this vicinity, having been built
more than $50 years ago. 1t was
known as Norton : Tavern, where
many celebrities of Colonial days found
shelter and was within gunshot of
Tory's Hole. which was the hiding
place of the Tories.
According to stories. it was from
Tory 5 Hole that shots came which
lodged in the old chaise that was car
rying Lafayette through Claremont.
Mr. Sanderson has occupied the place
for - years. His loss is partially COW
cred by inurance.
The fire started in the attic near
the chimney. The cracking awakened
his son. who notified the rest of the
family. 1t was found that the whole
attic was ablaze. The fire depart
ment steamer was located on the bank
of Red Water brook, where water was
obtained sufficient to save the last
| barn.

French officers Made Thrifty.

The French army officer has to be
a thrifty man to make ends meet on
his salary of a very few francs day,
and borrowing or running into debt
is an offense against military law. An
officer convicted of debt is suspended
by the war office for three years, and
at the end of that time his reinstate-
ment or dismissal from the service is
decided by kind of court martial,
comprising five officers of his corps,
one of them of his own rank.

of Syria. about 1000 B. G. They are
frequently referred to in all works re-
