The lightening rod story is called "Political Economy" written in 1870. A very funny short story!

LOLOLOL! You and Twain have no way of knowing how close to the truth of my situation your story is! As a matter of fact, I once read that Twain’s (Clemons’) daughter (who lived next door to him as an adult) kept a very close eye on him because of his predilictions for very young women...There is a parallel there too, unfortunately.
