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).
