. “SOME” ADVERTISER
Mark Twain in his early days was
editor of a Missouri newspaper. A su«
perstitious subscriber wrote him, say
ing that he had found a spider in his
paper, and asked whether that was a
sign of good or bad luck. The humorist
wrote this answer and printed it:
“Old SubserMber: Finding a spider
in your paper was neither good nor
bad luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over our paper to*see
which merchant is not advertising, so
that he can go to that store, spin hi?
web across the door, and live a life of
undisturbed peAce ever afterwards."
