An Exploring Needle.

Twenty years ago, when a child,
Miss Florence Holiday swallowed a
needle. She suffered no inconven-
fences until last week. During the
long interval she had forgotten entire
" about the accident. Last week she
became afflicted with. severe shooting
pains in her shoulder. Physicians
explained that she was suffering from
neuralgia, but when small lump
appeared suddenly on her shoulder
this 'disproved their theory. Miss
Holiday happened to think of the
needle and she concluded that it had
possibly worked itself to the shoulder.
An operation was performed and the
needle found and removed. Except
for being slightly rusty the needle
was in as good condition as when

ALL AT 1T
Are the Epworth Leaguers of Wheel
ing Homes Being Secured.

ing Homes Being Secured.
The Epworth League has been con-
tinuous surprise to even its most ar
dent advocates and supporters. The
most enthusiastic would have been
laughed at had they predicted that
even at this late day-the Ninth An
niversary having just been celebrated
applications for new charters would
be coming III to the Central office.
The Fourth General Conference Dis
trict, in which is located West Vir-
GINA and Pennsylvania, has been be.
hind none in its growth. 1t is fact
not generally known that Smithfieid
church, Pittsburg, holds charter No.
2, and Fourth Street, Wheeling, w.
Va, holds charter No. 28, thus show
ing that this district was among the
first to organize and is still keeping 1t
up.
The large number of charters now
in the territory has made it necessary
for those in charge of the conventions
to put an amendment to the constitu-
ton, that delegates and visitors must
pay a dollar per day for entertain
ment. It was found that even Phila-
delphia with its large number OF
homes could not take care of the en-
thusiastic crowds that poured in, when
entertainment was free. The Leaguers
of Wheeling, approaching the fact
that West Virgiuias metropolis would
receive a crowd such as has never
been seen in that city at religious
gathering, have the plans well to-
wards completion, SO that everybody
who comes to the city on the Ohio
will find home at the regulation
rate. Old and young are hard at work
carrying out the details, so that with
the decorations of the business houses,
churches, depots, streets, grounds and
tent, the visiting hosts will feel that
they are welcomed from the time they
enter its borders until they leave.
The railroads have announced half
fare rate, with the tickets good for
eight days, and it is understood that
the teachers are endeavoring to have
the tickets extended SO that they may
attend the League convention and re-
main tor the w. Va. Teachers Asso-
citation which convenes the day the
convention adjourns. Invitations are
being extended to all the leaguers in
this section to plan for visit to

requests that the address upon mail
matter sent to soldiers in camp shall
plainly set forth the name of the
party addressed, his company, the
number of his regiment, and the
State in which the regiment may have
been raised. The reason for this
request is that in large camp there
may be a number of regiments bear
