filled with sweet honey.

said the queen. I'll get you some
for Nurse Jane"
! soon Uncle Wisgily had a nice lump
Of the yellow bees wax under his
paw. and. thanking the queen for fl.
back he started for his hollow stump
bungalow.
ITS queer 7 didn't have an adven-
ture all this day. except nearly get
ting stung by a bee" thought Uncle
Wiggily. as he hoped along.
He had not gone much farther be-
fore, all Of a sudden. as he was carry
ing his lump OF bees wax. he heard
some one calling 20 him most COM
handing like;
"Hi there Sit down and wait for
me-"
Looking up Uncle Wiggily saw the
big hairy chimpanzee. who pulled
tails and pinched noses, running at
him through the bushes. Uncle Wig
gily was so surprised and frightened
that he quickly sat down on a fallen
log.
That's right went on the chin
panzee. as he came bounding along
Ike a big rubber bail. I've been
waiting for you, and now have
caught you"
yes. so you have. ct seems SAID
the bunny sadly. as he put his paws
down beside him on the log. You
have me. and what are you going 10
do with me2 For I know I can't run
fast enough to get away from you"
THAT'S right said the chimpanzee-
I'D catch you fast enough, But
now III sit down beside you and
think Of what Pm going 10 do TO you"
Down on the log, near Uncle Wig
gly's paw, sat the chimpanzee, but ne
sooner had he seated himself than a
funny look quickly came over his face.
What's the natter asked Uncle
WiEgily.
Matter? You know well enough
what's the matter" cried the chin
panzee. You put something sticky
on this log and I sat on 10, and now
can't get up and -
ooh. can't your asked Uncle Wig
gily. innocent like. Then you must
have sat on the sticky lump Of bees
wax which I stuck out under you as
you stopped down Dear mel And so
you are stuck fast2 Wei. then
must be goingi"
And the chimpanzee was stuck fast
on the bees wax. the lump Of which
Uncle Wiggily thought Of just In
time But the bunny could easily get
up off the log and run away, which
he did, leaving the chimp stuck fast.
The bunny got more wax from the
bees for Nurse Jane and so every
thing was all right, and Il the saw

BACK AT WORK
IN RUTHERFORD
Philadelphia and Reading Of
ficials Give Meager Details
of Last Nights Strike

The 100 car inspectors of the Har-
risburg division of the Philadelphia
ami Reading Railroad in the Ruther-
ford yards, who walked out last
evening have reported themselves
satisfied to return to work. officials
of the car inspecting service at
Rutherford said this morning.
The Rutherford men went out by
order of the local union last evening
and delayed business in the yards
for considerable period of time
until railroaders in other branches
of work could be impressed into
service in their positions. The men
were not satisfied. 1t is said, with
the allotment of back pay due
them under the recent McAdoo order
and were also somewhat displeased
with the recent wage increase given
them.
Michael F. Coan, chief car inspec-
tor of the Harrisburg division of
the company, left Harrisburg last
evening Immediately after receiving
notice of the strike, for the Ruther-
ford yards where he remained all
night in endeaVoring to right mat
ters. He remained there all of this
morning.
Everything is in a satisfactory
condition in the Rutherford yards''
is the meager information that ouer-
les at the local chief car inspectors
office elected this morning.

lcal Campaign in Which He
Was Recognized Leader

washington, July S.-United States
Senator Benjamin r. Tillman. vet
erar of twenty-four years service in
Congress and chairman of the Sem
ate Naval Affairs Committee, died at
his home here early to-day as the
result of cerebral hemorrhage suf-
fered last Thursday.
To honor the passing of one of
the most picturesque figures in Con-
gress and Southern public life, both
bodies of Congress planned to ad-
journ to-day and appoint committees
to accompany the body to the Till
man home at Trenton. S. c.
Prominent Many Years
As Governor of South Carolina. as
a leader in the Southern wing of the
Democratic party and as an active
participant in the last generations s
growth of American Navy. Senator
I1llman had been prominently before
the public for many years.
Senator Swanson, of Virginia,
probably will be his. successor as
head of the naval committee.
Senator Tillman's wife and all
members of his family except a son,
suffering from a minor operation in
a Southern Army camp. were at the
bedside at his death.
Political UphcavaI Promised
Senator Tillman's death promises
an upheaval in South Carolina poll
tics. in which he has been a leader
for more than a generation. He died
in the heat of the Senatorial primary
can? paign in which his longtime
political opponent. former Governor
Cole NJ. Blease, was contesting for
nomination to the Senate.
Senator Tillman was the eighth
member of the Senate to die since
the United States entered the war.
The Senator had been a member
of the United States Senate since
1894. His term would have expired
March 8. 1919.
Benjamin Ryan Tillman was one
of the most extraordinary members

Last night on the French front

renewal of the German offensive.
General Petain's troops on this oc-

near n-Sous-Toutvent. between
the Oise and the Aisne, and pene-
trated the German lines to a depth
of approximately half a mile. They
took 220 prisoners in their advance.
British Meet Reverse
The British front on the other
hand witnessed a minor reverse for
Field Marshal Haig's gallant fight
ers, who were obliged to relinquish
a large part of the ground they had
gained Sunday night in local oper-
alton near Bouzincourt, north of AL
Lert.
The Germans began on Monday
desperate efforts to recapture the
valuable high ground here from
which they had been forced but were
then able only to gain a footing in
their old line. Last night they re-
newed the effort with a furious bonn
bardment and then delivered an at
tack which gave them back the

Foreign-Born Appreciate Ad-
vantageS They Have En-
joyed Under the Stars and
Stripes, Says Interpreter
Who Canvassed Situation

DO foreign-born citizens appreci-
ate America? Yes, they do. They
gradually become Americanized. The
older people experience some diff
Guilty in learning the English lam
guage, but it is quite different with
the younger element. They easily ac-
custom themselves to the American
conditions. They learn the language
quickly and would rather speak
English than their own language. IL
you will happen to pass a group of
children born to foreign parentage
of mixed nauonalities, you will hear
them speak English only. The
younger generation don't care to
speak or know any other language,
1t is natural to them and parents
have difficulty in speaking to them
in another tongue"
Thisswas the opinion expressed to-
day by K. Posega, a leading foreign
born citizen, of Steelton, in an inter
view with a Harrisburg Telegraph
reporter this morning. The inter
view was given when the telegraph

Fair Weather Forecast
For July 4 Demonstration

Weather Forecaster Demain had
lots of encouragement for the hum
dreds of Harrisburgers who watched
the skies anxiousIy all day for ad-
vance signs of fair or rainy weather
tomorrow. Warmer and probably
fair" he said, and 1t was the last
word needed 10 assure the world that
Harrisburg's Fourth of July ceIebra-
tion will be the best ever staged in
the city.
The weather forecaster added,
however, that there is a likelihood of
showers late in the afternoon The
presence of "mackerep' clouds in the
sky to-day made q few worry, but
the weatherman said they are mot
always" a sign of rain. Fair and
warmer" remains tho good word for
the harrisburg populace.
