"Josies a great little step saver"
commented Phil.
II don't know what we'd do without
poor JOSIE" said her mother. 'But
we'll make 1t up to her on her birth
day"
AS for Josie, she realized she wasn't
pretty, like Clara, nor bright" like
Jennie, nor boy, Phil; she
believed it was possible to be so
sweet and obliging that one may be-

Josies ambition was to be universally

and her face was red.
Dear me-" she sighed, "a party's
dreadful sight of work."
IT'S YOUR party" reminded Mrs.
McCanopy, putting her lips together
firmly. 1--WE are trying to make your
birthday pleasant"
Josie, who was somewhere between
II and 30, was looking forward to the
day when the family was planning to
pay up its indebtedness, not only
with party. but with gifts freely
hinted at in the home circle as Some
thing-you'd never guess whats" and
"just-wait-till-you-sees!"
MY only regret is I've got to have
that mean old Dave Midget" muttered
Josie, as she sat down to stone rails
ins and plan what she would say to
Ben Overton.
"Those bees your father was fool
enough 70 buy at the Miller's auction
seem to be acting funny" observed
Mrs. McCanopy, gazing out of the
kitchen window. 81 wonder what we
ought 20 do?"
I've heard of them all swarming
off" said Cousin Phoebe. But |
think If some one was to go out and
throw shawl over 'em, they'd calm
down, and when 1t comes night you
could slip the cage. or whatever you
call it, right over them, and there you
are!"
Clara left the room hastily, and
Josie moved uncomfortably on her
chair.

feet" said Mrs. McCanopy. 81 couldn't

certainly would be a great disappoint-
ment to Chester to lose EN-"
Josie, with the resignation of
saint and the courage of a matador,
grabbed the big gray shawl and went
out toward the community of strik-
ing honey makers. While Cousin
Phoebe wasn't an authority on bee
culture. the proposition as a whole
looked as reasonable as the usual mis-
sions upon which Josie was sent. Ac-
customed to look after the family
pets, she was willing to dust the hive
every morning If her father wanted
to keep a few bees, but she hoped the
perches didn't have to be disturbed
often.
unfurling the shawl, Josie floated
like a great winged bat toward the
buzzing cloud She did just as
Cousin Phoebe had advised
Afterward when she had been re-
lieved from pain as much as possible,
her father said:
you ought to have more sense,
Josie. even If the others didn't have
any!" Which shows that gratitude is
apt to be proportionate to the amount
of success attendant upon the good
deed

ed Josie, avoiding the mirror

Josie, struggling with keen disap-

STATES MILK SUPPLY IS PURE.
Commissioner Foust Pleased With Te Of
5000 Samples Collected Recently,

About 5000 samples of milk and
cream have been taken by the dairy
and food department during the
past thirty days at various points
throughout the State. The result
is most gratifying to Commissioner
Foust, who says it is the most re-
markable showing ever made in
Pennsylvania. The absence, he
says, of violations of the milk laws
is in marked contrast to the iuspec-
ton Of four years ago when hun
dreds of prosecutions for use of pre-
servatives and the watering of milk
occurred. In the city of Philadel-
phia 9Io samples were secured and
comparatively few people were
found who used adulterations.

Ex-Governor Pennypacker's name

there is no apology for his official
acts in aid of the Capitol grafters.
With Governor Stuart and At

sion and its counsel will consider
the course to be pursued in the
scandal, in a conference to be held
in Harrisburg OH Friday. Not un-
til then, however, will the exact
character of the report be made
public. From the beginning of the
commission consideration of its
duties as to the legal phase involv-
ed in the investigation there has
been a question whether the prob

persons against whom the COM
monwealth should proceed. 1t has
been ascertained that counsel for
the commission, Mr.. Scarlet and
James Stranahan, as we'll as some
of the members thought it would
be proper to do so, but it is said
that the attorney general held that
he, as the States prosecutor,
should be permitted after careful
review of the evidence and the law,
to exercise that authority.

DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES
Verdict of Coroner's Jury in Case Of
Emma Jones

A coroner's jury today by its verdict
failed to support an allegation that the
police were in any way responsible for the
death of Emma Jones colored, declaring
that she died of "aneurism of the heart
and shock superinduced by excitement"
While Precinct Detective Greene was ar
resting Clarence Barnes, colored, nephew
of the deceased, she appeared on the
scene. The prisoner broke away from the
officer and ran into her arms. In the
struggle to arrest the man the woman fell
TO the ground, and it was alleged that the
policeman struck her. About two hours
after the occurrence the woman died,
To investigate this allegation Coroner
Ramsay hewitt had jury summoned and
an inquest was held in the morgue at II
o'clock this morning. One witness. Louise
Burse, colOred, testified that she saw the
detective strike Mrs. Jones and knock her
down. Miss Amanda Powell Earl Silver
man, Ernest Walker and several other
residents of the neighborhood of 18th street
and Columbia road, all eye-witnesses were
positive that Detective Greene did not
hit the woman, but pushed her with his
left hand to one side without undue vio-
lence. Detective Green, in his own behalf
denied having struck the woman and said
he pushed her aside In order to make the
arrest Clarence Barnes, the man the DO
lceman had under arrest, stated that the
policeman did not hit his aunt.
DR.. VIM. F. Walker, who had been at
tending the deceased for a year or more
past stated that she had been suffering
from fatty heart and stomach trouble and
it was his opinion that any violent excite
ment or exertion would have caused her
death.
DIR. Glazebrook, deputy coroner, who per-
formed the autopsy, found her to be very
stout, weighing more than go pounds
There were absolutely no evidences of vio-
lence on the body. The autopsy developed
the fact that she was suffering from serious
heart and other trouble. The witness at
tributed the woman's death to excitement

TO RAISE FREIGHT RATES.
Western Roads Propose Some I'm
portant Tariff Changes.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-Freight rates in the
territory between the Mississippi river and
the Rocky mountains will be advanced i
per cent by the action of the western rail-
roads in raising the minimum on carload
shipments and other changes in the CLASH
hcation. 1t has not yet been determined to
cancel many of the carload commodity
tariffs, though a few OF these whose useful
ness has passed will be Cancelled and the
commodity rated according to classification.
1t is the intention to cancel all less than
carload commodity rates, but as they were
made TO meet special conditions the ship
pers generally have not made any specific
complaint.
The call for the meeting of the western
classification committee at Charlevoix,
Mich, July 16, was sent out yesterday The
docket contains 425 subjects. many of which
were rulings issued by F. o. Becker, chair
man of the committee since January 10
1907, and will be ratified by the committee
The most important of the subjects is Ito
revise the minimum weights" on which sew
eral committees have been at work. The
new western freight classification will be-
come effective September 1, 1907.

CENTRAL AMERICA PANlCKY
REPUBLICS APPREHENSIVE RE-
GARDING NICARAGUA.
Reported Fitting Out Of Three Vessels
for a Movement Directed
Against Salvador.

Central American diplomatic representa-
tives in Washington associate the report
coming from Nicaragua of the fitting out
of three vessels for a movement against
Salvador with the news coming from the
latter country week ago, apprsng the
Salvadorean minister here of another pro-
jected expedition under the direction OF
President Zelaya against Salvador. Since
then so far learned here. there has
been no further information received of the
proposed expedition. although the Saliva
dorean officials have been put on their
guard, and aGvices received several days
ago from United States diplomatic officials
in Central America indicated that both
Guatemala and Salvador were massing
troops on the frontiers of their respective
countries. The State Department officials
say a Danicky condition exists in all the
Central American states, with the excep-
ton of Costa Rica. although for the mo-
ment there appears to be no formidable
movement on hand.
Senior Cgartc. who was sent here by the
provisional government of Honduras to at
tempt to secure recognition and who has
been in New York city, has returned to
washington. 1t was stated before he went
to New York that Mr.. Ugarte, having failed
TO secure recognition at the hands of the
State Department officials here. would at
tempt to get into communication with
! ieStueHt noOSeNelt, Win q view TO giving
him statement of conditions in Hon
duras. Mr.. Cgarte said, however, today
mat he> had not been in communication
with the President during his visit to the
metropolis. Today he called upon Acting
Secretary of State Adee and had a long
chat with him about Central American con-
dltlons and various other subjects Senior
= l CARTE and Mr.. Adee are old acquaintances
and II is understood that their meeting was
purely personal, and that no official recog-
ntlon OF the provisional government of
honduras was involved in the call.
