ANOMALY OF PROFILES.
How often have we tat directly op
posite a comely (ace In the street car,
lor instance, admiring Its regular,
well-formed features, when, with a
certain turn of the person's head, the
Illusion of beauty suddenly vanished,
the new view presented revealing con
tours of nose, cbln and mouth disap
pointing In the extreme, says the
Photo Era. The consoling feature,
perhaps, Is the ear, which, projecting
abnormally in so many cases, now as
sumes an air of repose. Few faces
Will produce a profile of classic beauty,
nd even some of these fall to yield
Haltering full face portraits. This Is
ene reason that one sees more front
View portraits than profiles In paint
ing and photography. Incidentally, it
tnay be remarked that many a man
-ould look better with his head pre
sented In profile, if he wore a mus
tache Instead of being smooth-shaven.
Not only does It preserve the har
monious proportions designed by na

Judge Foster's characterization of

the New York Post Such an attitude
will not only serve as an emphatlo
warning to reckless chauffeurs, but
will make It difficult for Judges who
Blight be Inclined to undue leniency to
yield to their weakness. It is a com
monplace that, in rendering law ef
fective, an ounce of enforcement Is
worth a pound of additional legisla

Bad end. yet precautions to avoid such
melancholy fate may be exaggerated.
Everyone who stops to reflect upon
the subject probably will be able to
recall the names of more than one
among the persons of his Immediate

overwork.

BANKER MUST SERVE TERM
Morse Lose Another Fight for Re
lease From Jail.
Atlanta, Ga. Charles W. Morse,
the New York banker, serving a
term in the Federal prison here for
violating the national banking laws,
failed in his effort to obtain his re
lease on a writ of habeas corpuB.
Without passing upon the validity
of that portion of Morse's sentence of
15 years beyond 10 years, District
Judge Newman denied the petition
for a writ declaring that ten years of
the sentence unquestionably was
good, aiid as Morse had not served
out that time the court had no right
now to enter further In the matter.
Morse's attorneys filed notice of
an sppeal to the United States Cir
cuit Court of Appeals of the fifth
circuit.
Judge Newman said that he had
no doubt of the legality of Morse's
confinement In the Atlanta prison,
although it had been erected for
"hard labor" convicts. He said
Morse might be able to obtain a
transfer to another prison by appli
cation to the attorney general, but
he believed conditions here were
probably as good, at least, as would
be found In a prison elsewhere.

bankment Erie, Pa. A fast mail and pas
senger train on the Philadelphia and
Erie Division of tho Pennsylvania
Railroad was held up live miles from
this city by a band of a dozen mask
ed men.
The mail and express cars were
rilled, and threo of the crew C. 11.
Block, of Erie, mail clerk, and H. D.
Rooney, Erie, conductor, and C. F.
Bomls, brakeinan were Injured.
Block was shot In the right side and
was taken to a hospital in a dying
condition. Rooney received serious
injuries when he was hit with a
stone thrown by one of the robbers.
Bemls was shot In tho arm.
The train was due In tills city at
10.10 P. M. A few minutes before
10 o'clock, when the train was mak
ing a long curve, the engineer saw an
obstruction ahead. He slopped the
train with all possible speed, but not
before It crashed Into ties and tele
graph poles that had been placed
across the track.
R vo ver Cracked.
When the train lilt the obstruction
It was first believed by t he passen
gers that there hsid been a collision
with another train. The next mo
ment, however, the crack of revolv
ers acquainted them with the real
cause of the train's stop.
As the train came to a standstill
several of the passengers alighted to
ascertain the troublo. Their pres
ence drew the fire of the band of
masked men, and thero was a stam
pede to re-enter the cars.
An unknown passenger, who,
braver than the rest, caught hold of
one of the robbers, was picked up
bodily and thrown over a 300-foot
embankment. His condition Is seri
ous. The man's heid, fice and body
were badly cut and his clothing torn
from his back. He was taken to a
hospital in an unconscious condition.
The spot selected by the robbers
was ideal for their work. On one
Ride of the railroad Is a large ravine
and on the other side Is a dense
woods. The men had hidden among
the trees. It was from this point
that all of them mado their appear
ance when the train came to a stop.
Almost before the train had reach
ed the obstruction the masked band
had taken up their positions at prac
tically every entrance to the cars.
When the passengers began pouring
from the train thero were a few
sharp cries from the men to get back
into the cars.
When a number of the excited
passengers failed to take this advice
the bandits opened fire. They shot
along the sides of the cars, level
with the windows and this effectively
put an end to the curiosity of the
passengers.
Within the cars there was a panic.
A number of women fainted, while
the screams of others caused much
confusion.
The train arrived In HiIr city about
midnight. The passengers, dazed
from fright, could not give a con
nected story of what had taken
place. Many of the women were
hysterical and required attention.
A large number of those aboard
were from Philadelphia. Buffalo and
Intermediate points. The train was
made up of four day conches and
two Pullmans. It meets the through
Philadelphia and Buffalo train at
Emporium, Pa.
According to opinion here, It is
not a train that expert robbers could
be expected to attack. It Is believ
ed the bandits were foreigners.
Panic In 'he Tr n
Within a few moments after word
of the' holdup was received here
every officer in tho city was called
Into action. Many of them boarded
a special train for the scene, while
athers were taken there in auto
mobiles and other conveyances.
Albert Cnrey, engineer, by making
a quick stop of the train probabVy
prevented a serious disaster. Rail
road men say had the heavy train
struck the obstruction with much
force It would have thrown the en
tire train from tho track and down
over the embankment.

THE NEWS OF
PEHMSYLVAJA
Sunbury. A representative body
of the State Grange met here and
Instituted what promises to be tho
most Important action ever undertak
en by tbe grange. ' They formed an
organization, which will be known
as the United Stores Association tho
object of which Is, by co-operation on
the part of the farmers, to place the
products of thb farm first-handed to
the consumer. The plan Is for the
association to receive the farm prod
ucts of Its members and distribute
thorn to the association stores in the
large centers of population. Auto
trucks will be tarried and the asso
ciation will be operated on the per
cont. system.
The main object of the association
Is to lower the cost of farm products
for the benefit of both farmer and
consumer by dispensing' with middle
men, who, It Is assorted, receive the
