"Har" said the General; .the men

rebel, d'ArrOyO-have they caught

They have aprisOner on stretcher. -
replied one of the aide-de-camps.
dead, 1 suppose, "said the General.
Il did not expect that he would be
taken alive. He was always dare
devil, that d'Arroyo. I remember him
when he was boy at the military
school,"
But the prisoner was not dead; and
when he had been carefully fettered in
the guard-hOuse his captors furnished
their commander with gorgeouslv
colored account of the days events, the
officer who had knocked poor Jose
down with the revolver putting in his
claim for the reward.
Toward evening, however, a spy
the same who had first BETRAYED JuIio
dArroyo' presence to the Spaniards-
craved an audience with the General.
Your excellency,' he cried. "thev
have not taken Don Julio d'Arrovo.
after all. The prisoner is mere boy."
"NOnsence!" said the General.
D'Arroyo is quite young"
Nevertheless he went later on to in
vestigate the matter, and found the
prisoner lying on a wretched pallet. his
wound clumsily bandaged and a cruel
cash over his brow.
''YOu are Julio d'Arrovo. the rebel?"
said the General
Il am not, " responded the prisoner.
"Then who are you?"
His younger brother, Jose. A."
There were hard words in the Span
lsh camp when the truth became known
as 1t soon did, when the Sonora came
over from her plantation to identify
and claim Jose. A hurried council in
the Generals tent developed the Ge-
clslon that the boy could not be held a
prisoner, No arms were upon him
when captured, and running mad races
with the Spanish troops, while disre-
spectful, is not a crime Accordingly
the General, who, being a shrewd man,
quite understood how the land lay, re-
leased Jose, with the cynical opinion
that Spain would catch him in dead
earnest some day when he was grown
up.
As Jose was carried tenderly to the
plantation, the Sonora bent over him
and whispered:
Julio has escaped The outposts
pursued you in hopes of the reward,
and he got clear off by the boat at
Andres"
Viva Cuba libre!" exclaimed Jose
and then, utterly worn out, he sank tc
sleep in the loving arms of his mother

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Sussex County to Confer With New Castle
and Kent Respecting Unity of Action.

A convention of the voters Of Sus-
sex county, called to decide upon some
plan to secure non-partisau ticket for
the constitutional convention. met in
Georgetown last week. b. F. B.
Woodall, Of Milford presided. and
Daniel Short, of Laurel, was secretary.
kolI-call showed only small attend
ance, owing probably to busy peach or
Iodder-Savlng season, not Of course to
lack OF interest, the matter still being
very much agitated in Sussex county.
The committee appointed at the last
convention to divide the county into
10 districts had not been able to meet
and consequently was unable TO re-
port. The committee was DISCHARGED.
The convention discussed ways and
means Of bringing about the object of
the meeting.
DR.. ID. l.. Mustard, of Lewes, moved
that a committee consisting of two
Republicans and two Democrats be
appointed to confer with the county
committees of the Democratic and Re
publican parties respecting the selec-
ton of ticket.
Earnest speeches were made by Viii
liam H. Boyce, Dr. Hiram R. Burton.
DIR. ID. l.. Mustard, Robert G.. Hous-
ton and others.
1t was suggested that the committee
communicate with Kent and New Cas-
tie counties and if possible bring
about some unity Of action with this
| county.
The committee appointed consists Of
William H. Boyce, DR.. D. L. Mustard,
Robert G. Houston and DR.. Hiram r.
Burton. 1t will Immediately confer
with the various county committees
and if possible secure some action that
will present only one ticket.

1t is not unusual for druggists to
recommend Chamberlain Cough Re
medy to their customers. Many of
them have used it themselves, or in
their families and know from personal
experience its great value in the treat
ment of coughs, cOulds, and Group.
They know too that their customers
are their best friends and naturally
wish to give them the most reliable
medicine they have for those ailments.
Messrs. Daugherty Bros, prOmi-
nent druggists of Indiana, Pa, say,
"We sell more of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy than of any other cough
syrup, and always take pleasure in
recommending it to our customers. "
Mr.. H. NJ. Urey, the popular druggist
at FredOnia, Pa, who has sold Cham
berlainss Cough Remedy for several
years, says: II can truly say that it is
the best cough medicine in the market. "

Superficial Preparation for Business.

The assertion is often made that our
American youth are inadequatelv prepared
to enter business life as compared with the
English or the German. The youth of our
country are rarely willing to give the neces-
sary time to get a thorough training Both
the young Englishman and the young Ger
man, as Il matter of course, give years to
fitting for business pursuits An English
bOokkeeper who cannot use shorthand. or
"a German accountant who cannot write
several modern languages is rarity
Young people who wish to obtain and hold
paying positions must give time in becom-
ing fully capable. Drink deep or taste
not the Pierian spring" is as applicable to
business as III literature The famous
Peirce School of Philadelphia, from its
founding, has made the thorough training
of young people for business the basis of
its system.

Thomas Jefferson was, indeed a
great man. He is the guiding star of
those of almost all shades of political

of protection, hater of gold bugs"
Single Tax advocate, and almost
everything else. But the Prohibition

The Old Idea of Electricity,

When people speak today of the electric
fluid and the electric juice, ;" they are
only carrying out the idea, common II gen
Grafton ago, that electricity was not only
u fluid, but liquid, which flowed from
point to point as water flows. That, at
any rate was the theory held by one good
old lady. This story is told by an operator
who now works" one of the press wires
in New York:
/ learned tclcgraphy, as suppose most
boys do, by setting up ''soundcr" at
home. had it on n shelf by the kitchen
window. The battery stood in the corner
under n table. The wires from the battery
to the soundcr We're full of kinks, as they
always are, to take up the slack wire with
out cutting it.
One day the soundcr would not work at
all, and got out of patience. Then my
good old grandmother, who had been
watching me, said:
"John Henry, you let me get at it n min
ute. I'll make it go if there's any go to it. -
She put on her big silver bowed spec
taclcs and looked 1t all over. Then she
crawlcd under the table-forgctting all
about her rheumatism - and carefully
Strengthened out all the kinks and loops in
the wires. Such satisfied smile as she
wore when she got up.
There, John Henry" she said, II don t
believe but what it will work all right
now. You try it and see. You hadn't
ought to expect that electric fluid to run
through anything SO crooked as them wires
was"
The funny part of the story is that sit
did work all right" In Strengthening the
wires the old lady had probably pulled one
of them little way through the zine in
the battery and so had made the connec-
ton, but she insisted that all that was
necessarily to get the kinks out of the
wires .-Iouth's Communion.

How to Cure Stoopine.

One of the greatest and most common
dcformities OF the day, observes II medical
writer, is one that with care and attention
can be rcmcdicd. 1t is the round Shout
dCrcd or STOPPING habit. Many of the most
natural figures show this tendency to
stoop, while in the narrow chcstod it is
marked to II Painful degree. AID yet by
raising oneself leisurcly UPON the toes i'll a
perpendicular position several times day
this dciormity could lie easily 1ectificd.
To do this properly one must Ike in u
perfectly upright position, the arms drop
ping mt the sides, the heels well together
ard the toes forming I'M angle of 40 de-
grces The rise should be made very slow
ly and from the balls of both feet, and the
descent should he accomplished i'll the
same way without swaying the body out of
its crLcndicular line. The exercise is not
all easy one, but may be accomplished by
perseverance und patience. 1t can be mod
flied, too, by standing first on one leg,
then on the other. Initiating and raising
the chest at the same time arc II pdrt of the
