new, and the old citizens were just
beginning to clear up their farms.

his trade he worked at blacksmithing
for fifteen years. He then engaged in
the lumber buiness, working for six
teen years at manufacturing and deal.
ing in lumber, employing quite num-
Der OF men. In 1896 he embarked in
the manufacture and sale of furniture,
and to-day has large furniture factory
in Brookville, employing from 65 to
rs men. His life has been very
active one, and tor nearly thirty years
he has been an employer OF men,
having from % to IS men in his employ
constantly. This meant giving employ
ment and sustenance to many families.
He is now a candidate for Assembly,
having been nominated BY the Demo-
cratic and Prohibition parties. He is
fully qualified for the position of repre-
sentative, and il elected will serve the
people of the county honestly, intelli-
gently and faithfully. He is we'll ac-
quainted with the needs of our county
and people, and will do his best to
serve them. All the candidates for
Assembly are pledged in favor of local
option. Mr.. Deemer favors local
option law that will allow the people
to vote on the question by counties.
He does not think it would be wise
to have the vote taken by townships
and boroughs.

MOVEMENT STARTED TO
ESTABLISH READING ROOM
Young Men Of Reynoldsville
Have Rented a Room for
Club Purposes.
NEED SUPPORT AND MEMBERS

The past week movement started in
town that. with little encouragement
from the citizens, may become power
full and benefcient factor in the future
social life of Reynoldsville so far as it
affects the young people OF town.
Twenty-Five or thirty young men,
feeling the need of place where they
could spend their evenings away from
the influences OF the street and hotel,
banded themselves together for the
purpose OF establishing reading and
club room, and have opened temporary
quarters in the vacant rooms over f. E.
Rodgers cigar store. One room has
already been comfortably furnished and
it will require but little money to equip
a suite OF rooms adjoining. The move
ment was spontaneous among the young
ment is absolutely undenominational
and has no other purpose than affording
to the members and young people of
town access to literature-books, maga.
zines and newspapers-that probably
none, singly, could secure. Later, If a
larger membership is secured, and a
desire manifested, room may be fitted
up for athletics and physical culture,
but for the present the aim is purely
intellectual. There has been no formal
organization OF the association and no
permanent officers elected, but the
young men who have taken the lead in
the matter urgently solicit all who are
interested in seeing reaoing room es-
tablished to join them. Any person
over eighteen years of age desiring to
become a member should hand their
name or application to any one of the
present members. The admittance fee
is only 81 90, with small monthly dues.
The need Of a reading room in Reyn-
oldsville is indisrntsble. Once before
an attempt was made to maintain one,
but the movement did not originate
with the younger element and never
had the hearty support of those for
whom it was intended. This movement
originated right among the young men
themselves and they have shown their
earnestness by going ahead along their
own lines as far as their resources al
lowed. 1t is the broadest, most unsel-
fish and useful movement OF the year in
RavnO1dsvilla and not. ,1nlv deservas
but commands the prompt and liberal
cooperation OF every person in town,
who wishes to see established a place
where young men, and older ones too,
may spend their evenings ,in comfort
away from the questionable associations
of the street, the hotel and pool rooms.
Contributions will be welcomed, as we'll
as new members and the success of the
project depends largely on the interest
shown by the people.

. An Appeal for "The Bread Line" 4

"a An Appeal for 1.-THE Bread Line"
yThe Bowery Mission "Bread Line"
at.which 900 men who are out In the
streets for the night are given break
fast of hot coffee and rolls every morn
ing at one o'clock, is one OF the most
pathetic sights in all the wide, wide
world. Long before the hour Of open
ing, these poor, starving men stand in
single line that sometimes extends for
blocks in length, waiting for the coffee
and rolls. During the winter this
bres kfast is given to an aggregate OF
2l0, 900 homeless men and boys, and up
to date over half a million of the home
less have had their weary tramp rest
fully interrupted by this unique minis
tration. The first of these breakfasts
is given on Thanksgiving morning, and
the last on the following Easter morn
ing. Altogether the Mission supplied
this year over $4,000 meals and 57,072
lodgings to homeless men and boys.
1t is for this grand philanthropic
work that we ask your kind and practi-
cal cooperation. The homeless, friend
less, disheartened and despairing men
and boys OF the Bowery are not native
New Yorkers, but men and boys who,
until within a year, lived happily at
the old homestead with father and
mother, and perhaps wife. They are
stranded here and in despair appeal to
the Old Bowery Mission, which, for
over thirty years, has been to the un-
fortunate as the rescue cities of old, a
haven OF encouragement, rest and pro-
lection. Shall we turn them away? 1t
