He WAS A GAME HORSE.
Runner That GallOped Home a
Winner with a "Twitch"
on His Nose.

i've seen many a thing on race
tracks, but l think the greatest race
ever saw was at New Orleans a few
years ago." remarked a track follower
the other day.
1T was several years ago at New Or
leans, and one of the best horses to bet
on was Duke of Milpitas, owned by AL
derman Casey, of Chicago. But he was
a rogue, and whenever he took it into
his head to run no one could beat him,
but If he sulked nothing could bulge
him. On this particular day he was a
warm favorite, as the distance was
seven-eighths, the going heavy and all
conditions just to the liking of the
Duke. He went to the post all right.
but he was soon out of sorts and no
amount of lashing could make him
bulge. Finally 'twitch' was sent for
and the assistant starter soon had the
Duke toeng the mark. Finally he
showed inclinations to run, and down
went the flag, with the Duke off in front.
The 'twitch' had caught on his nose in
some manner and the stick kept hitting
him on the legs and chest. Despite this
Or, perhaps, on account of 1.-THE
Duke ran faster than he ever did be-
fore. He won all the way, with the
'twitch' hanging to his nose. Alderman
Casey won small fortune on his horse,
and has the same old 'twitch' hanging
in his private office to this day"

GILPINs, THE HYPNOTIsTs.
The Doctor Puts a Subject in the Hypnotic
State Who Remained in That Con-
dition Twenty-Four Hours.

Dr.. Gilpin and Mrs. Gilpin, famous
hypnOtists, are at the opera house for
the entire week.
The entertainment commenced Mon
day night and they were greeted with
a fair sized audience and the usual at
fractions Of such an entertainment
was brought out. There was some
timidity on the part Of the audience in
responding to the request to come to
the platform, but finally few young
men and boys responded, and the per
Torrance the subjects" gave while in
the hynOptic state was interesting and
-at times laughable. Dr.. Gilpin and
wife are well up in the hypnotic art.
The doctor announced a test to be
given Tuesday. The subject, a young
man travelling with the company, was
put into a deep hypnotic sleep of
about q hours, commencing at 1913
Monday night and ending at S:45 the
following evening. Tuesday morning
he was placed in the show window in
NOnrOe's store. The hynOptist re-
quested a committee Of physicians to
examine the pathological test which
he proposed to mske-tO increase the
subjects pulse some 80 OF 40 beats.
DR.. A. G. Gulickverified this test. The
young mans pulse was accelerated
from go, which is normal in sleep, to
los, in about one and a half minutes.
The other test was: From a distance
the operator caused the subject to
make any movement suggested by the
committee. The committee we're Judge
@. ". Smith, Q. H. Lee, Q. F. Weber
and William Ennis. Judge Smith and
c. H. Lee remained at the store to jot
down the time and movements Of the
subject. Mr. Weber and Mr.. Ennis
went to the formers Office, a block
away, together with the hypnotist.
Here the two members decided upon
the movements the doctor should re-
quire the subject to make and jOtted
down the time when said movements
were declared to be done. The young
man was commanded to turn on his
right side, turn on his face, then on
his back, then en- his left side, then on
his back, and then, with his hands
clasped before him, to sit bolt upright.
All these movements we're made, and
the committee substantially agreed
that the test was performed as pro-
missed. There was a slight discrepancy
Of a few seconds in time and as to a
certain movement, but the committee
in the main agreed that It was q sue
cess. The test was made as a proof Of
thought transference or telepathy.
