The prices on coal Avill| t cause many poor families to suffer!' and a little charity will go a long |' ways towards showing your acquaint-1 anee with the Christmas spirit. A singular ease of vicious vandal-1 ism and an attempt to destroy vain-1 able property with tire occurred early Monday morning at Glenmore,' in Willshire township. Unknown parties forced an entrance to the station house of the Chicago & Erie railroad and knocked out the window glass, tore the telephone from its fastenings. pulled telegraph instruments from a table, yanked a clock from the wall, scattered books and records over the floor and cast the ticket case and tickets out of doors. Afterward 1 the parties went to the plant of the ■ Glenmore Grain company and built ■ up a pile of fence posts and which was set on fire, using packing taken out of an empty car to kindle the blaze. The fire was built in an area 1 way between the buildings. The re1 flection of the fire became so great, between the hours of four and five that the attention of a blacksmith named Bowers was attracted and the residents of the village were aroused to save the grain elevator from probable destruction. The residents are unable to find a motive for

“ the destruction of the railroad property or the attempt to, burn the grain elevator. —Van Wert Bulletin. “Tell It Not in Gath.” “Tell it not in Gath” means “Don't let your enemies hear it.” Gath was famous us the birthplace of the giant Goliath. The quotation is from tin Second Book of Samuel, first chapter twentieth verse: “Tell it not in Gath publish it not in the streets of Aske lon. lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the ( uncircumcised triumph.”
