Mark Twain's Spider
From the Merchants Trade journal.

The subscriber wanted to know
whether this was an i'll omen or a
good sign, and Mark, in answer, stat
ed that he did not consider it either
a good or bad omen, but that it was
very fortunate incident for the spi-
der. He said that as he understood
it this spider was merely looking
through the paper to see who we're
not advertising so that he might go
out and spin a web across their door.
This little incident, Mark Twain
said, was given a great deal of pub
licity, and brought considerable adj
vertising to his paper,

Two-Cent Passenger Rate
Argued Before Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s--The fate
of scores of two-cent passenger rates
rests upon the outcome of arguments
today before the Supreme Court over
the validity of the West Virginia
tWo-eent passenger rate law.
One Of the points at issue is
whether State may compel rail-
roads to carry passengers at non
remunerative rate, allowing them to
make up their loss by increased
charges on freight business. Tech
nically, only the rates on the Nor
folk and Western railway are con-
cerned, but the decision is expected
to fix the standard for adjusting pas
senger and freight rates to one an
other throughout the country.
