INDIAN ORCHARD

Amos Keefe, one of Ludlow's most prominent citizens, has been the vic- tim of highwaymen three times with in the past week on the Ludlow side of the old iron bridge when on his way home at night. MT Keefe says that the men stopped his horse and demanded money, under threat of bodily harm, three different times at almost the same place, and that the men were the same ones each time. He, however, managed to get away on each occasion, and he is none the worse physically or financially for his encounters
 He has reported the matter to the police of Ludlow, but as they have done nothing about it as far as he can find out. has taken it up with the local police officers to see what they can do about it.

INVESTMENTS

Some capitalists land you are a cap
ftalist, you know. if you have money
to fnvest) fail sometimes to place their
surplus 10 advantage because ~ of a
fear of making mistakes on account Of
inexpeIience: or ~ of timidity due TO
unfamiliarity with securities, or 90 of
lack of the right opportunities. We
have already this year placed many
thousands of dollars for such people on
loans secured by gilt-edge collaterals
and returning satisfactory interest
just such loans as the most conserva-
tive bankers make. Our interest rates
are never higher than prevailing bank
rates, and therefore the best class Of
loans are sought of us. If you have
surplus-it may be s500-00 or S10G0.D0,
or a larger sum-and want TO find
conservative and safe investment for
it, we'll be glad to serve you. But if
you want to speculate, and are will
ing to take large risks on a chance to
make bigger returns than legitimate
interest, we have nothing To offer.
Our calendar motto for the year is
private and Confidential" and any
investments made through US will be
treated accordingly.

HYPNOTISM AS ANAESTHETIC
Boys Hip Put Back in It's Socket
Without Giving Him Pain.

Philadelphia - Hypnotism was
brought into play recently in the
Hahnemann Hospital as an anaes-
thetic. The patient, siX-year-old
Clark Bender of No. l112 Spring
street, underwent the painful oper-
alton of having his dislocated hip
put back into its socket without ut
tering a whimper.
To Ray Murray, an orderly in the
hospital, belongs the credit of max
ing the operation painless. When
the boy was carried into the hospi-
tai by his grandfather, Samuel Ed
ward, the old man objected to an
anaesthetic being used, even when
the doctors said that the boy was
suffering from a dislocated hip and
that the operation Of replacing the
bone, although simple, would cause
the boy excruciating pain.
When the doctors and the grand
father were arguing the matter, Muir
ray, who has read numerous books
on hypnotism and has practiced the
art on many employees of the hospi-
tai. said: Leave 1t to me, and l
will fix the boy so that he won't feel
any pain" The orderly made few
passes with the hand over the young
ster's face, and the child passed into
a deep slumber. The hip was then
put in place.
When the operation was over Muir
ray had no difficulty in restoring the
patient to consciousness. The boy
said that he had not felt the slightest
sensation while the doctors were ma
nipulating the hip. He walked home
with his grandfather, The disloca-
tion was caused by fall.
