KEEPING THEM DOWN.
Reading edition
Rich Youth—“I should not object to the work of earning my own living if I had to, but what I should hate would be the officiousness and petty tyranny of superiors. I should hate to have to bow to the whims of some wealthy man not a bit better than myself.”
Poor Youth—“That’s easily avoided. Be a typewriter, as I am. Employers never put on airs over me. I know how to take the starch out of em.”
“Eh? What do you do?”
“Ask em to spell a hard word now and then.”
