Here is q gem from an exchange:
GsThere Is q class of laborers who never
strike and seldom complain. They get
up at five O'Clock in the morning and
never go To bed until Ten or eleven nj
night. They work without ceasing
during the whale of the time, and
receive no other pay Than food and
clothing. They understand something
OF every branch of economy from
finance 10 cooking, though harassed by
a hundred responsibilities, though
driven and worried. though Inundated
and looked down upon they never
revolt and they cannot organize for
their w protection; not even sickness
relieves Them from their post. No sac
riGee is deemed o. great for them to
make and no incompetency in any
branch of their work is excused. No
essays OF poems are written in tribute
to- their s~teadfaslness. They are the
housed coping wives of the majority of
Snr people who work, liVs and die for
their loved Ones"
