A FURIoUR BATTLE
Thrilling Experience With a Band of
Armed Bank Robbers
they DESTROYED MUCH MONEY
Demolished Safety Vault of the Bank
With Dynamite and Escaped-Men
in Hot Pursuit.

Fort Worth, Texas, Special.-A
special from South McAlester, /. T.,
to The Record, says:
"a bold bank robbery, attended by
a desperate battle between posse OF
citizens and robbers, occurred at XII
owa, a small town 16 miles south Of
this city Sunday, the robbers secur-
ing and destroying about $2s,OOO
which was in the bank.
THE men gained entrance to the
bank building through rear win
dow. The first charge Of nitro-gly-
cerine made no impression on the safe
but the noise aroused residents of the
town and soon posse, composed OF
so men, was congregated in the stock
yards at the rear of the bank.
"A volley of shots was fred at the
building and it was at once returned
by the sentinels of the robbers sec-e-
ted on the outside Of the structure.
An almost incessant fire was kept up
for half an hour. during which time
the robbers continued their effort to
open the safe.
1T required three discharges to
force the door. The third explosion
was terrific and almost completely
demolished the safe as well as the in
ner part Of the bank building. The
paper money was blown to shreds,
large quantities Of mutilated bills be-
ing left by the bandits. After loot
ing the safe the robbers left the bank
by the front and backed of into the
darkness, keeping up a fire on the
posse.
THE men went in a southerly d.
rection and were followed quite dis
tance. 1t is said that one Of the rob-
bers was injured.
The bank officers place their mon
etary loss at $4,000. 1t is believed
that the bandits made away with only
a small part of this sum, the paper
money being almost altogether de-
strOyed by explosion.
"A posse of United States marshals
is in pursuit Of the robbers"

Church Choir on a Strike.

Montreal, Special.-Melville church.
the leading Presbyterian place Of wor-
ship in West Mount, the fashionable
residential suburb of Montreal, was
without the services of a choir Sun
day. In his sermon on Christmas
morning Rev. T. W. Winfield, pastor
of the church, severely criticised the
members Of the choir for eating candy
during the service. AS result % the
criticism, a deputation from the ''aoir
waited upon the reverend gentleman
on Saturday and requested a retrac'
ton. This he refused to make and as
a result the choir, without an excep'
ton, went out on strike.

Duty to Be Pleasant.

We are ar to think that our being
happy or unhappy is something that al
iects only ourselves. On the contrary,
neither condition is ever absolutely con-
Gned TO the person who experiences it..
and, unfortunately, the black edge"
OF ones unhappy moods laps over
on the lives Of others. The girl who
comes down to breakfast. feeling bue,'
is apt TO impart a tinge OF the same mel,
ancho!y to every one else before the meal
is ever. and the man or woman who is ab-
,orrad IN the contemplation OF h.s or her
own troubles, real or fancied, is doing
something to add to the gloom OF a worla
that is more lacking in sunshine than it
need be. No matter what ones private
feeling may be. one can always make an
effort to be pleasant Tor the sake of other
peoples happiness. While the opportuni'
tv of doing some great and noble thing
NAV not often occur, the simple but beau.
tiful opportunity OF being pleasant is al
ways present.

men with reviewers blew open a safe,
held up several persons and otherwise
caused considerable excitement last
night In the suburban towns along
the main line OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Two men were keld up at
Haverford. Several hours later the
men appeared at Straford, covered
an aged watchman with revolvers
and blindfolded him. The men then
blew open the safe in the railroad
station. which also is used as a post
office. and took about $1,000 in money
and stamps. The police have a good
description of the burglars but up to
today they have been unable to find
any trace of them.

These discussions will not only
give the Exposition wide publici-

same time develop ideas which
Mr.. Miller could incorporate in
his plans for the State educational
exhibit.
In this connection, Secretary

Fair, writes Secretary A. II. Win
