Mark Twain Quote
I came across this and thought you might find it as amusing as I did:
On May 20, 1875, the following notice was published in the Hartford Courant newspaper:
To the Public
TWO HUNDRED & FIVE DOLLARS REWARD--At the great baseball match on Tuesday, while I was engaged in hurrahing, a small boy walked off with an English-made brown silk UMBRELLA belonging to me, & forgot to bring it back. I will pay $5 for the return of that umbrella in good condition to my house on Farmington avenue. I do not want the boy (in an active state) but will pay two hundred dollars for his remains.
-Samuel L. Clemens.
