Mrs. John Haskins has been wonder
fully saved lately from serious injuries IN
a couple of mishaps that might have had
disastrous results. Sunday evening, she
was going to the barn loft to pitch down
some hay when the ladder broke, letting
her fall to the floor with such force that
she remained unconscious from o'clock
until after !. No one heard her fall and,
consequently she was alone until she re-
gained consciousness and could summon
help. She struck on her head and
suffered from the jar but escaped with no
broken bones. Tuesday, in attempting
, to lift kettle from the stove, she tipped
it in some way and poured the boiling
water over her right hand, which was not,
however, so badly scalded as one might
expect.
