"Making a Fortune"

From Mark Twain in the German Language Press

This short sketch by Mark Twain appeared in several American daily newspapers beginning in February 1873. Most newspapers printed the sketch under the heading "Making a Fortune"; however, the Delaware State Journal used "How to Make Fortune" as the title (Delaware State Journal, 12 Apr. 1873, 1). A version is reprinted in Mark Twain Speaks for Himself (Fatout, 78-79).
