EsTen years ago Mary Wilkins, of Hep

die factory. One day she stepped on a
bed OF needles, running several dozen
into both Of her feet. After a few DAYS
the pain stopped. and in a few years she
married. Eight months ago the long
lost needles began 10 come out of her
elbow, and since then whenever she
wanted a needle to sew with all she had
TO do was to pull one out. The needles
are as bright as the day they came out Of
the factory.

A Terrible Accident.

Many citizens of Parkersburg
will remember young Milton Coff-
man, who with his bride was visit
ing his many Parkersburg friends
two or three years ago. On last
Wednesday, his brother, Charles
Coffman, received telegram that
Milton had been horribly mangled
by circular saw at Fort Defiance,
Va. His left arm was cut off near
the shoulder, a part of his shoulder
blade cut away and his back terri
bly, mangled. While at first the
dispatches gave no hope. later
news is more encouraging. A letter
received yesterday tells that he
bore up well under the needed sur
gical operations, and having raj
lied from the shock, there was hope
for his recovery.
