The TRAVELS OF A NEEDLE
Charles r. Blakeley, a young farmer
near Seaford, ran a needle into his foot
10 years ago. In attempting to draw
the needle out he broke it. The pain
was so great that he did not attempt to
get out the broken piece. The wound
finally healed, and the circumstance
was in time forgotten. Several days
ago the needle began protruding from
his neck. He attempted to draw the
it out, but as this hurt considerable he
decided to allow it to come out of it's
own accord, which it seems to be do
ing. During the time the needle
travelled through his body from foot to
head he was unconscious of its pres
ence.
