Cuba Is to Repay Debt.

the United States some six millions of

amounts TO reimburse the United
States as he may consider the Cuban

young officers will not have to demand

it up with Ignorance is no disgrace, but
pretended knowledge is hypocrisy-and ny

seems perfectly familiar to those about you,

your ignorance rather than pretend to be

Promises to be a Big Show.

Billed For January 18th to 29th and
Promises to be a Big Show.
Although it is nearly month off
the coming Show of the Philadelphia
Automobile Trade Association, is al
ready an assured success. The Show
is billed for January 18th to 29th and
is to be held in the big Armory of
the Third Regiment National Guards,
ocated at Broad and Wharton Stree is
in that City, which is one of the big
gest buildings they have there. The
Show Committee was forced this year
to run two weeks exhibition owing
TO the fact that so many manufac-
turers were anxious to display their
wares. Therefore Manager ]. H.
Beck, decided to have the first week
for gasoline pleasure cars only, the
second week to be devoted to the cars
barred from the first week and the
display of commercial vehicles, cleo
trio automobiles, accessories, etc.
The second week will be interesting
from the fact that in addition to
many pleasure cars and the CONNER
cial vehicles the display will include
big area exhibit consisting of dir
igible balloons, and areo planes of
different makes. Manager Beck has
been in communication for some time
with the officers of the Aero Club Of
America whose headquarters is il
New York and they have promised tC
bring or send to Philadelphia the besf
of their exhibits at the coming ex
hibition of the Independent manufac
lures in the Central Palace, New

Wanted to Return Marriage License.
Last week, Wilbur Johnson, a
Cheswold farmer, applied at the
office of the clerk of the peace. at
Dover, and obtained license to mar
ry Miss Ernestine E. Groves. He
paid the 81. so and went out, full OF
Christmas good cheer as he folded
up the precious document. Monday,
however, the bridegroom elect reap
peared at the clerks Office and,
handing in the marriage license,
asked to have it redeemed. "That's
one thing they sell in Delaware that
they don't take back" was the
clerks reply. The prospective
Bridegroom walked about a while,
plainly disconserted. Then he tucked
the marriage license back in his
pocket. "That's right, rejoined
the clerk on a venture. Keep it,
YOU can use it later ''But l don't
thir k l want to. You see my girls
mother has objected and she. might
keep on objecting even after we were
married" All the central Delaware
couples planning Christmas mar
riages, however, are not having this
hard luck. Among the fortunate
ones about to plight their troth are
the following: Winlock Hall, of
Frederick, and Miss Hattie Downs,
of FELTON,: Joseph G. Wells, of Cam
den, and Miss Mary E. Thompson,
of Wyoming; Wilbur C. Wright and

MISS ADAMS STAGE MOUNT.
How Actress Coaches Her Horse For
His Part In "Joan of Arc.'

How Actress Coaches Her Horse For
His Part In Joan Of Arc.'
4 Any morning these days if you hap
pened to drop into the Central Park
Riding academy at New York between
/ the hours of 9 and o'clock in the
morning which, however, without Gre
dentials you, would not be allowed to
do-you might see Miss Maude Adams,
the actress, in the strangest sort of
Ivcostume mounted on a beautiful white
! horse which she rides around the ring
To the horse are fastened all sorts of
metal objects, which jangle as he can
tiers, and grooms throw colored ban
ners and flags into his face until the
performance takes on the aspect of a
bullfight. Noises are also playing a
| part in this horses education, and he
is being treated to all sorts of strange
sounds from various instruments.
The reason for all this is that the
horse is the steed which Miss Adams
Is to use in her performance of Schil-
ler's Joan Of ARR in the Harvard
stadium at Cambridge, Mass, on June
% When the horse, a beautiful white
Arabian ANIMAL was selected Miss Ad-
ans decided to undertake his training
all herself. She wanted him to be-
come accustomed to her and to know
her
In the Schiller drama the horse
plays an important part. In fact, Miss
Adams will be on his back or dis
mounting or amounting throughout four
acts. In the battle scene she gallops
at full speed across the stadium. Con-
sequently it is necessary that the, horse
should know how to behave even in
the face of Beethoven's ''Eroica'' sym
phony, which is to be played piecemeal1
through the performance
Now, Miss Adams knows that YOU
may ride horse for several weeks
and imagine you have trained him not
to be afraid of anything when he will
discover some bit of paper in the road
which will throw him into spasms of
terror And she doesn't want any
thing of that sort to happen on the
evening of the play.
So every morning<she goes to the rid
Ing academy. A medieval saddle, sew
eral inches higher than the modern
one, is put on the horse, which she
then mounts. Miss Adams costume
is not the one she will use in Cam
