For second time this winter, the
Marion public library was entered
sometime between the hours Of 10
O'Clock sunday morning and o'clock
this morning and money stolen. An
invoice showed thar "a in bills and
S4.2S i'm small change were taken
from the money drawer in the llbrar-
ian's desk. Although the officers have
formed some opinion relative to the
intruder no definite clew was obtain
ed today.
When Chief of Police McDonough
was called this morning. thorough
investigation failed to reveal the point
OF entrance by the robbers At first Il
was thought that an entrance had been
made through the basement door
which was found open by the janitor
upon his arrival this morning. The
mystery only deepened when no tracks
leading to the building from the rear
were observed.
II was obvious. thatan Intruder at
the rear Of the library would have left
his tracks but a most thorough cS-
animation before and after Che seven
or more inches of snow were swept
away failed to reveal the least evi-
dence of the robbers trail.
The windows were found closed
Monday morning and from the cir
cumstances Il is evident that parties
acquainted with the building and en-
virons are guilty Of she robbery The
identity of the burglar Is unknown al
though certain parties are under suspi-
cion.
This Is the second time the library
has been robbed, having been entered
about three months ago when $50
were taken from the drawer.

Pretty Story of the origin Of the
Pennsylvania City, Now In
dustrial Center.

It was not uniting that Bethlehem
the center of missionary enterprise
and social service should have the
name of the birthplace of the Christ
But the name was given it under
doubly fitting auspices. In December,
1741, Count Zinzendorf. the friend and
protector of the Morayians in SaXony,
came to visit them. The original log
dwelling sheltered both the people
and the cattle. It was in this house
that they were sitting on Christmas
eve. Suddenly Count Zinzendorf
arose and led the way past the parti-
ton to the part where the cattle were
stabbed, and there around the hangers
they sang Christmas songs. After that
they could think Of no name quite SO
fitting as Bethlehem.
But in spite Of church institutions
Bethlehem is no longer religious
community. It is industrial. With the
coming of Industry have come condi-
lions of which David Nitschmann,
founder of Bethlehem. never dreamed.
It wasn't an example Of the old
brotherhood when. in 1909. five men
we're discharged because they had
signed a petition to the management
of the Bethlehem Steel corporation
asking for the elimination Of Sunday
work. 1t wasn't an example Of broth
erhood when in 1910 another man was
discharged for avoiding Sunday work,
and then three more because they
served on a committee that protested
against this mans discharge.-John A.
Fitch, in The Survey.
