In the wooden manufacture the aver

One day the train was detained at the
station, and the locomotive detached
and sent up the road to do some adj

for q ride. AS she listened to the
sharp. shrill notes of the whistle, it
occurred TO her that she might
teach John to sound her name
in the Morse Geographic characters. so
that she could distinguish his sign al
from that of the other engines. when
ever his train approached. The plan
worked to charm, and far and near
the whistle shriekcd Kate, until one
day. as the operator stepped upon the
PLATFORM she overheard co nversa-

learned that they understood the sig

who Kate could be. Their means Of

Strange Case In Surgery.

A strange accident is reported
from La Crosse, Wisconsin. A IL
year-old girl, while playing, acciden-
tally drove needle which was stick
ing in the front of her dress into her
breast, Embedding it out OF her sight.
The child was in extreme pain and
could hardly breathe. The pulse
became uncertain, and it was thought
she was at the point of death. Three
doctors were summoned, and while
they could hardly believe the story
of her mishap, they found that the
needle had entered the heart. An
incision was made, disclosing the
head of the needle, and it was ex-
tracted with an instrument. The
child was relieved at once.
