Whit- orafs, a stafl correspondent of the Phil. adelphia North American was in Bellefonte aod in Weduesday's paper tells she follow- ing story of a happening shat came onder his observation that day : This is the story of a collar batton —and its former owner. Seated in the writing room of the Bush house at Bellefonte the other day was a distivgunished-looking gentleman, his face buried in a newspaper. Three “‘drum- mers'’ were writing reports to their houses, for it was Big Thursday at the Centre county fair, and consequently hard sled- ding for commercial travelers who were un- fortunate enough to drop into town during fair week. Only the soratoh, soratoh, soratch of their pens was heard, for she writing room is she sanctum sanotoram of the country hotel. That is perhaps the reason why the dis. tingnished-looking gentleman sooght the comfort of ite spacious rocker and 1s quiet with his newspaper. Suddenly, through the door leading to the lobby, barst in another elderly man with the rigorous greeting: *‘Hello, Sen- ator! Glad to see yon. You're looking mighty well. Hope you feel as good as youn look. Say, Senator, see thas collar | button ?"’ And tbe introder, stooping low, sarefully pulled aside his tie and digplayed a neat gold collar button. ‘Yes, I see it.” ‘Well, Senator, you dropped that hutton twenty-five years ago in the Town Hall at Salona while yon were waking a speech there. I picked it up and have worn it ever since. I never putit on that I don’s think of yon.” bry ot. Deed “Well, well, you don’t say I" And the two elderly men, locking arms, walked across the corridor. The distingnished-looking man was Sen- ator 8. Richard Peale, of Look Haven. His visitor was C. W. Rote,of Salona, Cliu- ton county. Both had come to Bellefonte t renew old friendship at the Centre conn- ty fair. ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

A Most Urgent Appeal to the Good Citizens of Bellefonte, ™ execntive committee of the Young Woman's Ciub hereby appeals to your sym: pathy, generosity and prayers for its work in this vicinity. Itis a great work in an hitherto untouched field. For the past six months hundreds of different girls, making thousands of visits, have been invited from their homes, the factories, the streets, and the shops of this town as visitors to the pres- ent rooms and the entertaining and uplift. ing influences of this club. Much good has been done, but not the hundredth part of that which eries aloud to be done. The question of the permanence of this club is bound up with the most serious moral and social problems that have ever confronted the citizens of Bellefonte. A moral cancer is spreading frightfully in our midst. The problem of its cure appeals to every good and thoughtful person but most vowerfully to the parents of each boy aud girl, for it affects both sexes alike. In spite of all this, the work has been misunderstood, criticised and sometimes even ridiculed. The generous contributions of a few friends are now exhausted and the executive committes has been driven to the conclusion that this RR WALKER —ORRIS.—As# the culmination | work so near their hearts and of such ines of a little romance begun aboas seven years | timable value to certain of the young wom- en of the town must be abandoned and the present club rooms closed unless instant re- lief, both in the nature of money contribu- tions and personal work, he assured. The very suggestion of such a possibility bas fill ed with surprise and amazement the young women and girls who have learned to look upon the club room as a home and a refuge. We can assure the public that there is no lack of interest in the hearts of these that are to be belped. They are ready to co-oper- ate even out of their small earnings; yet, under present conditions, the rooms ean re- main open but a few days longer. Don't let this soul-felt appeal fall upon deaf ears and cold hearts. TE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Pine Grove Mention. Huoters report bunnies scarce.
