THE STORY OF THE
SPIDER
I
While Mark Twain was editor of a
Missouri paper, a subscriber wroto I
to him saying he had found a spider j
in his paper and asking Mark, wheth- ?
er this was a sign of good or bad |
luck. The following was a reply of \
the well-known humorist:
"Old Subscriber: Finding a spid
er in your paper was neither good or
bad luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over our paper to
see which merchant is not advertis
ing *o that he <ian go to that store,
spin his web across the door and lead
a life of undisturbed peace ever af
tei ward."
