A DREAM THAT PAID.
How the Sewing-Machine Needle
Was Invented.

From the Philadelphia Times.
We owe the invention of the sewing ma
chine to Elias Howe, an American me-
chanic, as you all know. He had a large
family TO care for, and could give only his
odd moments TO the construction of his
machine But while laboring for daily
bread for himself and his family, he was
constantly thinking out his invention.
He got on quite wen untH he came to
the making of a needle; then he was at a
standstll, for he could not discover where
the eye of the needle should be placed At
first he thought that a needle fashioned
after the ordinary needle for hand-sewng
might be all right, but after much expert
menting he found that it would not do.
d. He was greatly perplexed. The needle
question absorbed his thoughts by day,
and at night he dreamed about needles.
one night he dreamed that he was in far
distant country that was ruled over by a
savage king. The king ordered him to con-
struct a sewing machine, and, not daring
TO disobey orders. he at once set to work
An went wen until he came to the location
of the needles eye; then his troubles be-
gan.
The king grew impatient, and finally
gave the inventor just twenty-four hours
in which 10 complete the machine, and told
him lie must forfeit his life IL he failed TO
finish the task lie worked harder than
ever you may be sure, but found that he
could not invent a proper needle and had
TO give il up.
Just as the kings warriors were aboui
to take him away TO execute him, he no
ticed that the spears they carried were
pierced near the head. Like an inspiration
tho eoIuftoD If five needle r,roblarfa cam,
TO him. and. while implorlng the savage
king for a little more time, he awoke
Although II was but 4 O'Clock in the
morning. Mr. Howe arose a once, and
went to his workshop and by O'Clock h.
had modelled a needle for his sewing ma
chine with an eye al the point. Thus was
the perplexing problem solved.

TRAVELS OF a THIMBLE.
Found I'm Mans Shoulder Forty
Years After 1t Was Swallowed.

Oakland (Cal) Dispatch to San Francisco
Call
Lucillus Miller, who for a long time re-
sided in this city, believes he is carrying
in his left shoulder a silver thimble that
he swallowed forty years ago. He will soon
submit to an operation TO have the sup
posed thimbe removed
Forty years ago Miller was a very little
fellow. He was playing around his mothers
feet while she was doing some sewing. A
knock was heard at the door Mrs. Miller
answered it, and when she returned her
silver thimble could not be found. The lit
tie boy said he had swallowed it, but his
story was hardly credited, although moth
ing was ever seen of the thimble.
A generation passed away, and Miller be-
gan to be troubled with a slight swelling
at the back of the left shoulder. Little by
little the swelling grew and hardened, and
it was supposed that a cancer was growing.
He was examined by some DOCTORS and it
was suggested that the trouble might be
caused by the long lost silver thimble. Dur
ing The last three months it has been pos
sibie to move the source Of the trouble be-
tween the fingers and TO be assured that it
is a thoroughly hard substance. Mr.. Miller
and his sister, Miss Lavonia Miller, are now
staying on Treat avenue, San Francisco,
and they are both convinced that the silver
/ thimble has worked up into his shoulder
| There can be no doubt said Miss MI
/ Ter, Chat the little thimble so long lost has
/ been found, although we cannot understand
/ how it could get into his shoulder. The
/ thimble was a very small one and we be-
/ lieve chat my brothers trouble is caused
! by it."
/ Not long ago Mr.. Miller decided to have
/ the thimble-or whatever it is removed. He
/ decided to go to the Cooper Medical College
! and have it cut out. He went to the college
| and as soon as he entered he heard the
| groans of a man on the operating table
/ Miller at once concluded that it was more
comfortable to carry the thmble around in
his shoulder than to submit to the knives
of the surgeons on the operating table. He
walked quickly to his wheel flew away
from the hospital, and now his relatives
are persuading him to make another at
| tempt
Some doctors 10 whom the incident has
been told declare that if the thimb,e shall
be found in MIXERS shoulder it will be one
of the most remarkable things ever chron-
icled in surgery.

Remedies Have Failed.

Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
mcnt, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused in different
ways, but in every case the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must be eliminated from the blood
before cure can be had.

SPEED In BROAD RIPPLE.
Ordinance Directed Against the Mo-
mons Trains.

The Monon Railway Company is in an ex-
cited state over the threat of the Broad
Ripple Town Board to pass on ordinance
regulating the speed of the railway trains
that pass through the suburb. AS the whis-
tie of the Monon is the only locomotive
screech that disturbs the serenity of the
village, the company is necessarily consid-
erably annoyed over the threat.
The new ordinance, if adopted, will lessen
the speed of Monon trains materially. The
measure was prepared it is understood, by
Town Marshal Pierce, and was to come up
for consideration on Tuesday night. Attor-
ney FLOYD Woods, representing the Monon,
heard of the contemplated action of the
board and hied himself with all haste to the
Ripple He managed to get the matter
postponed for a week or two, and in the
meantime the company will see what can
be done 1t is claimed that such an ordi-
nance will interfere greatly with the Mo-
mons passenger traffic. The enforcement
of the measure, it is said would mean a
difference of from ten to fifteen minutes
In the Chicago time. The fear of the COM
pany is that in the event of the passage
of this ordinance by the town of Broad
Ripple other villages along the route in the
State would take similar action. Attorney
Woods SAYS this would ruin the roads sys-
tenn of Chicago connections and would
greatly embarrass the mail service. The
company expects to fight the ordinance,
and has hopes of defeating it.
