From me Ladies' Home Journal

From mo Ladies' Home Journal
When Mark Twain, in his early
DAYS, was editor of Missouri pa
per, a superstitious subscriber
wrote to him saying that he had
found a spider in his paper, and
asking him whether that was a
sign of good luck or bad. The
humorist wrote him this answer
and printed it
"Old Subscriber: Finding a
spider in your paper was neither
good luck nor bad luck for you.
The spider was merely looking
over our paper to see which mer-
chant is not advertising, SO that
he can go to that store, spin his
web across the door, and lead a
life OF undisturbed peace ever
afterward."
