dropped dead at fire April 16. But two

ARREST IN BANCROFT CASE
Jeweler Charged with Completely in
Theft from Aged Broker.

New York, April 11.-Frank J..
Plass, ieweler, is under arrest
charged with completely in the theft
Of $4,000 worth of securities from
Aaron Bancroft, senior member of the
brokerage firm of George Bancroft
& Co., on March 2 last.
Aaron Bancroft was jostled and
knocked down by two men in the cor
ridors of the Produce Exchange Safe
ty Deposit company while he was
carrying the securities in a large en-
velope tied with red tape. One of the
two helped him to his feet and handed
him what he supposed was his en-
yelope When he opened it four days
later he found a substitution had been
cleverly effected and that the dummy
envelope contained nothing but old
newspapers. Two weeks later coun-
sci for the brokers received word
that for $4,000 the securities would
be returned. a meeting was arrang-
ed, the reward paid over but the
thieves withheld $4,000 of the secur-
tiles and hurriedly drove off in a taxi.
The police now charge that Plass was
one of the men in the cab.

To Savings Bank peposItors.

The Lamoille County Savings Bank
G Trust Company of Hyde Park, Yer
mont, will receive your deposits on
the most favorable terms consistent
with safe and conservative banking.
Among the many reasons why you
may properly give this bank the pre-
ference in choosing a place for de-
posting your savings 1t suggests the
following
FIRST-The bank is a Vermont in
stitution. Aside from its deposits in
reserve cities, it has never loaned a
dollar upon notes which were not
either secured upon Vermont proper
ty or had strong Vermont guaran'
tor.
SECOND-In its more than twenty
two years of existence it has been so
painstaking, conservative and careful
in the investment of funds placed
within lis keeping by confiding pub
lie that it has never lost single dol
lar by vote.
TP' 1t pays four per cent in
@ o., compounds semi-annually with
&C action on the part of the deposit
tor, and pays all taxes on deposits,
whatever the amount OF the deposit
may be.
FOURTH-Its managers are men
known to the people of the State as
ultra conservative, in matters of in
vestments-men who never speculate
on Wall Street or own speculative
stocks of any kind.
FIFTH-Absolute safety and not
those high rates of interest which
can be secured by taking chances, has
ever been the guiding principle OF
this bank. 1t never owned a note up
on which it received more than six
per cent. interest.
SIXTH-It has now passed the Two
Million Dollar mark In assets, fact
which speaks louder than words OF
the faith and confidence felt by the
people of Vermont in this strictly
home Savings Bank. No other Saw
ings Bank located in small village
like Hyde Park, approaches the Hyde
Park Savings Bank in growth, fact
which cannot be explained upon any
other theory than that of absolute
confidence In the painstaking watch
fulness and sound judgment of the
men who direct and govern in the In
vestment of the funds entrusted to
its keeping by discriminating pub
lie.

PIN IN APPENDIX
North Adams Child Had Operation
10 Months Later.

North Adams Child Had Operation
10 Months Later.
Little Viola Richards, 9 years OF
age, had her appendix removed at the
hospital Saturday night by Drs. NJ NJ.
Brown, r. d. Canedy and H. A. Dush-
nell and when the bothersome organ
was opened it was found that the
cause of all the trouble was a full
grown pin which had worked its way
into the appendix and in trying to
work its way out had caused irrita-
ton. The little girl rallied from the
operation and will make a speedy re-
eovery.
1t is thought that the pin has been
in the little girls system for about a
year and half. AT the time she
swallowed 1t she was dressing her
doll and was holding some pins in her
mouth. She swallowed one of these
and told her mother about it. The
mother administered the usual home
remedies and at the time the child
suffered no i'll effects so the incident
was forgotten.
A few days ago, DR.. r. f. Canedy
was called and diagnosed the case as
appendicitis. The operation follow

Punished For Looking Healthy.

In the days of the Puritans the stocks

early eighteenth century, remarks:
Then it was they would scarcely let
