This. snapshot of Mark Twain shows him in his favorite act of try Ing to be as funny as he can without cracking a smile. He is slowly, wea. rily, iaziIy telling an anecdote in his Inlnitable nasal drawI, and though his audience is convuIsed with lauah. ter the humorist himself is as solemn and melancholy as half asleep owl. Mark is getting old-he is sixty-seven now-but he can still be funny for two hours at stretch and remain as mirthless as veteran undertaken on duty.

lSSSuSSS IS IO pIONluC him with a distinguished father. But this has not proved to be the case with the Adamses. John Adams was the second president of the United States, and his son, John Quincy Adams, the man who was directly responsible for the Monroe doctrine, was our sixth president Since his time the Adamses have been prominent men, and the family has never produced a male member who was not above the aver age in mentality.
 But, worthy as the Adams family has unquestionably been, 1t has a strong rival in the Stokes family, although the latter has until within the last decade made it's mark entirely in the world of finance. Descended from the famous Montespedous of France, the first American Stokes was Thomas, who be- came one of the most prominent and most highly respected of the merchants of New York, at time, too, when probity and integrity were ranked be- yond mere wealth. His son, James Stokes, abandoned merchandising and with the little fortune left him by his father established a banking business which made him one of the wealthy men of Manhattan Island. His son followed in his footsteps and from a comparatively humble beginning deveI- Oped a business which brought him a fortune of millions and caused him to be known as one of the very wealthy men of the United States and one of its best authorities on matters relating to 6nance.

"When had an attack of the grip last

Editor of the Enterprise, Shortville, N

taking teaspoonful of this remedy, and
when the coughing spell would come on
at night l would take dose and it seemed
that in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its accom-
panying pains. To say that the remedy
acted as most agreeable surprise is put
ting it very mildly. had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip. simp-
ly because had never tried it for such a
purpose, but it did. and 1t seemed with
the second attack of coughing the remedy
caused it to not only be of less duration,
but the pains were far less severe. and |

The annual report of the Pennsylvania

The annual report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for the year ended
December 81, 1902, shows the net earn
ings of that great system to have been
$67, Sag, 592 IS, an increase i'll net earnings
compared to 1901, Of $2,7I6, Ioo.76. Ac-
cording to government statistics the net
earnings of the railroads for the year end
ing July l. 1902, were $1,000 per mile
greater than ever before And yet not
withstanding this handsome profit there
has been an increase of freight rates all
along the line to further satisfy the greed
of these private owned corporations. Is
there any justice to the people in such a
policy of greed Under public ownership
this net gain would be used to help les
sen the burden of taxation and would also
lead to better service at a cheaper rate.
improvement in service under private
ownership means a corresponding increase
in rates. Under which system would the
people be benefited most?

A public meeting to further the project
of the erection of a suitable memorial to
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and to gain
the interest of the general public, was
held in Brooklyn on Sunday night, at
which ex-President Cleveland was::one OF
the speakers. The meeting almost took
the form of Cleveland love-feast, he
being quite the lion of the hour. His
admirers seemed to feel It incumbent
upon themselves to give him all the prom
iuence possible with view TO launching
his third presidential boom in the future.
A third presidential nomination move
ment in the interest of Cleveland would
create about as much enthusiasm with
the rank and file of the democratic party
as did the Palmer and Buckner fiasco.

The coal strike commission, it is stated,
has decided that the miners should have
an increase of pay to approximate 10 per
cent, and that majority CT the commit
tee stands for payment by actual weight
instead of by ''inspection" and car meas
urement. The question which, is proving
the most knotty for the commission is the
recognition of the miners union and the
best it will do is to make recommends
tions to the President, whose object is te
get facts and undertake to solve the
question by suggesting legislation te
Congress. The report will contain al
adverse criticism of the delay of the op
orators in agreeing to arbitration.

Fishing Season.

Cecil county fishermen are over
hauling their nets preparatory to
dragging members of the fnny
tribe from the waters. Catches of
pike, bass, neds, &C., are made. The
shad season is rapidly approaching.
1t is on the Susquehanna that more
shad, and those of the best flavor,
are caught than any of the other
rivers. And, too, it is along this
river the industry is carried on in
the most extensive manner. In the
lower waters of the Chesapeake the
fishermen set and haul their seines
by hand, but the modern industries
along the Susquehanna use ma
chinery in hauling their gigantic
nets, which are often more than a
mile in length, and which bring in
several thousand fish at one haul.

close last week, was $I,554, IoS, 5I4.S4,
