Not I'm Her Inside,


Boston Journal
a Lewiston lady recently conceived the
idea that she had swallowed something
hard, and that 1t had lodged in her stom-
ach; and she insisted on having an X ray
stance might be located. When the plate
was developed to her horror a large shawl
pin was discovered apparently lodged in the
bowels. After a great deal of worry on
her part 1t was discovered that the pin
was not in her body, but had been used
to pin: a sheet about her before the picture
taken.
