INTO THE DAWN.
By Florence Crannell Means
The year's bright pageantry has
away.
The day has ended; all the golden light,
—
ebbed
The glory, and the splendor, © renched
in night.
Wait! Even while we mourn the glory
gone,
The darkened earth unhaltingly swings
on,
Triumphant in the dawn of its new day.
So he!
With head upflung, and all his bonny
youth
Shining immortal in his gallant eyes,
Leaped the low barrier of the night,
and strode
Into the Dawn!

BELLEFONTE RED CROSS
APPEALED TO FOR AID.
Burgess Hard P. Harris, chairman
of the Bellefonte branch of the
American Red Cross, receivd an
urgent appeal from John Barton
Payne, chairman of the American
Red Cross, on Wednesday, urging
that prompt action be taken toward
the raising of a fund for the relief
of drouth sufferers in portions of
twenty-one States of the West,
where the situation is described as
being deplorable. The Red Cross
will undertake to raise a fund of
ten milion dollars, and the quota
apportioned to the Bellefonte branch
is $3200. Burgess Harris will not
make a public appeal for funds, as
he does not feel that the financial
situation hereabouts justifies it, but
he will gladly accept any and all
voluntary contributions and see
that they are forwarded to the
national society.
Automobilists will be inter-
ested in the announcement that a
ten thousand pound elephant riding
a new Chrysler automobile will be on
exhibition at the Chrysler garage
tomorrow (Saturday) evening, at
7:30 o'clock. Everybody is inivted.
———Henry Fletcher has been con-
firmed as Tariff Commissioner be-
cause he said he didn't know any-
thing about the tariff. Most of the
Senators are in the same fix.
Senator Davis can't under-
stand why anybody should want to
keep him out of the Senate. The
Senator seems tobe dull of compre-
hension.
DR. WILLIAM S. GLENN.—Dr
william S. Glenn Sr, well known
physician of State College, died in
Jefferson hospital, Philadelphia, Wed-
nesday evening. He had been in
failing healtn for several years, due
to a weakened heart condition, but
last fall other complications develop-
ed and became so serious that he
was taken to Jefferson hospital on
the 7th of January for observation.
There he failed so rapidly that the
examination could not be completed
before he sank into a coma from
which he never emerged.
Dr. Glenn was the oldest of the
children of Ephriam and Elizabeth
Meek Glenn and was born on a
farm near Howard on April 4, 1858.
His early life was spent at home
where he was educated in the com-
mon schools and the Bellefonte
Academy. In preparation for his
life's work as a physician he came
to Bellefonte to read medicine with
Dr. M. A. Kirk, clerking in the lat-
ter's drug store, then located in
Bush's Arcade, and reading when
opportunity presented. In those days
that was the usual procedure in prep-
aration for the medical profession.
Then he attended the Eclectic Medi-
cal Institute in Cincinnati where he
was graduated in 1883.
Immediately after graduation he
opened his office at State College,
That place was only a village then
so that he had quite a struggle in
his early professional career. Then,
too, there was more or less contro-
versy about the merits of the differ-
ent schools of medicine and as he
represented a comparatively new one
many held aloof until they discover-
ed that he was having unusual suc-
cess with the cases under his treat-
ment. From the moment that barrier
of uncertainty was broken down his
practice grew and his skill increas-
ed until he acquired a clientele al-
most beyond physical ability to serve
and a reputation that inspired a
rapidly prowing community with
great confidence in him,
He saw the little village of State
College grow into the splendid town
it is today. When it was erected
into a borough Dr. Glenn became
actively interested in its develop-
ment and played a prominent part
in laying the foundations for its
corporate growth, both as to the
school and street systems. They were
days when partisanship ran as high
in local government as it does to-
day in national politics and Dr.
Glenn was a Democrat in a Republi-
can district. As a physician and
outstanding citizen he had won
the confidence of the community to
such an extent that he was elected
and re-elected to council and the
school hoard until the rough spots
of the formative period were ironed
out and he retired from active par-
ticipation in local politics.
Dr. Glenn first married Miss Mary
Henderson, a native of Clearfield
county. She died a number of years
ago, but was the mother of his
six children who survive: Olin, of
Swissvale; Harold, or Duluth, Minn ;
Elizabeth, Mrs. John Kottcamp, of
Waukegan, Ill.; Drs. Grover C., and
William S., of State College, and
Anna, Mrs. Edwin Lohr, of Akron,
Ohio. His second marriage was
to Miss Minnie Terwiliger, who
died shortly thereafter. Some years
later he married Dr. Nannie Sloan,
a practicing physician of Latrobe,
who survives: Two brothers, Demp-
ster L. Glenn, of Erie, and Dr.
Thomas O. Glenn, of Bradford, also
survive,
For years he has been a trustee
and a real pillar in the Methodist
church at State College and earnest-
ly interested in the “Wesley Foun-
dation.” He was an Odd Fellow, a
Modern Woodman and an Elk.
While arrangements for the fu-
neral had not been made when this
edition went to press he will be
buried at Pine Hall, probably on
Saturday.
PLETCHER. William H, Pletcher
died at his home, in Howard town-
ship, last Saturday morning, as the
result of a stroke of paralysis. He
was a son of Jacob and Matilda
Pletcher and was born near Howard
59 years ago. He followed farm-
ing most of his life. Surviving him
are his wife and the following
brothers and sisters: Charles and
Chauncey Pletcher and Mrs. William
B. Pletcher, all of Howard; Nathan,
of Clearfield; Mrs. Christ Breth, of
Kittanning, and Mrs. Milo Leitch,
of New York. The funeral was held
on Monday, burial being made in
