Punny Swastika in King Arthur's Court

I just noted a humorous use of a swastika in an illustration in
Connecticut Yankee (pg 128 - The Oxford Mark Twain).  It consists of
four arms and appears like a postage cancellation stamp with the motto
"Fore Warned is Four Armed".  Is this of Twain's doing or a whim of the
illustrator?
