Marx Twain cauaht Out.

A poet. A pair OF trousers across his
knee, sat IN his attic trying to thread
needle
The proper way" he said, lis TO
hold the thread still and push the
needle toward it. or to hold the
needle sim and push the thread
toward t. Mark Twain says both
are right; then he says both are
wrong"
Taking down The Prince and the
Pauper' the poet read:
lie did as men have always done.
and probably always will do to the
end OF time-held the needle still and
tried to thrust the thread through the
eye. which is the opposite of wom-
ans way"
Then the poet. taking down Huckle-
berry Finn read:
pless YOU. child. when You set
out to thread needle. don't hold the
thread still and fetch the needle up
to IT.. hold the needle still and poke
the thread at it-thats the way
woman most always does; but a m2n
always does tOther way.
