No! the* txxo kinds of people* on earth 1 mean \ie the* people who lift and the people xx ho lean Where’er you g», \ou will hind the xvorld’s masses Arc always divided in just txxo classes; And, oddly enough, you will find, too, I xvecn. There is only one lifter to twenty xxlio lean. 111 which class arc* you? Are you ca . ing the load Of overtated lifters who toil doxxn tht road ? Or are you a leaner, xvho lets others bear Your portion of labour and xxorry and care ? —F.lla Wheeler Wilcox.
