WHERE is THAT NEEDLE?
Did She Cough ahd swallow 1t? Or swal-
low 1t and Cough? Or Cough without
Swallowing 1t?

I L
Mrs. Alvin bennett of Saco, is tnougnc
to have swallowed a needle Ihursoay
night and physicians are now puzzleo W
tell where the needle has gone TO-,
She was about to thread tlne needle
and had placed it in her mouth "hlle
she was breaking the thread. suddenly
she commenced to cough violently, ana
when she had finished coughing the
needle had disappeared
Whether the swallowing OF the needle
caused her to cough, or WheUher the
coughing caused her to swallow the
needle, or whether the coughing had
nothing to do with the needle and it was
not swallowed at all, are questions that
as yet have not been answered.
1t was first naturally supposed that
the needle must be somewhere in her
throat and DR.. Cochrane was accordingly
summoned to attend her He could not
find the needle nor any evidence that 1t
was lodged in her throat.
Mrs. bennett came into Portland Satur-
day, but the Portland doctors were no
more successful in their search for the
needle than Dr.. Cochrane had been.
Whether the needle is there or not is,
however, still an open question.
