woman commented isn't he lucky? He's
much luckier than ! am"
When policemen came In response to
Scott's call the woman begged to be al

removed in an ambulance to the police
station. and the woman offered no OBJ

In answer to the usual questions she

ABOUT COMMON THINGS
THE PROGRESS OF THE SEWING MACHINE

he was not very strong boy and was
slightly lame. When he was 16 years
old he went to work in one OF the big
cotton mills at Lowell, then at the age
of 81 he married, moved to Boston and
went to work in a machine shop. He
was always inventive, full of resources.
suggesting better ways of doing job,
and at last he began to nurse the idea
of sewing machine, but he hid the
thought deep in his own breast. He
made his first machine with needle
pointed at both ends and an eye in the
middle, and worked upon this year
before he decided that it would not do.
Then he tried to initiate sewing by
hand and failed Finally he caught the
idea of passing a thread through cloth
and securing it on the under side by
another thread, and here came his sue
cess. In 1874 he made a rough model
of his sewing machine and found that
il would sew.
He knew now that his invention was
practical. but he had no money to buy
the steel and iron required to make
such model as would interest capital
For three years he waited, then he fell
in with an old schoolfellow who had
some money and offered to advance the
funds in return for half share in the
invention should it prove a success He
obtained his first patent, and to boom
it he challenged five of the most expert
tailors in a great clothing house to a
sewing match. Each one was to sew
five strips of cloth, but to the wonder
of everybody he finished his five seams
before the others were half done with
one.
Do you think. they were glad of his
success? No, they were angry and
threatened to smash his machine, so
that he barely escaped with his precious
invention. Then came hard times. The
friend was discouraged and withdrew
his money, and, like the Frenchman, he
exhibited his machine at county fairs
to make a bare living. Then a brother
in England thought he could help him,
and for two years he tried there for
foothold. but failed and returned to
New York. landing with less than 81
in his pocket, having pawned his ma
chine for his ticket. Many a man
would have given up in despair, but not
he. His wife had died. unscrupulous
people had initiated his machine and he
was penniless. but his patent was so
strong that money was found to bring
suits, which ended in his victory In
six years his royalty grew from $500
to more than 100000 year and in 1853
were estimated at $4,000 day. The
Paris exhibition of 1857 awarded him a
gold medal and the ribbon of the Legion
of Honor. So in his last years he had
both money and fame
Other ingenious men developed the
invention. Allen Wilson, Isaac Singer,
Grover and Baker, James G. Gibbs and
others, far too many to name, for since

~ long ago as we read anything
Y about human history we read
about needlework. We do not
know what kind OF needle Mother
Eve used, but we do know from our
bibles that, when the tabernacle was
bulII, needles of some kind were used.
The first one to attempt the making of
a machine to sew with was German
tailor; the needle that ne used was
double pointed, with an eye in the
middle. This was in the year 1855,
made a machine which had the begin
ming of the loop stitch idea Neither OF
these, however, was a sewing machine;
they were made for embroidery.
The third man to try his luck at this
invention was a London cabinet maker.
He was Of an inventive turn of mind
and spent all his spare hours in in
Yentions of various sorts. He was
quite successful and took out several
patents that had to do with leather
work. A man who is given to invent
ing seldom stops with one success, so
he went on with his thoughts in the
air searching for more wonders and
taking out patents of one sort and an
other. Later on another man who had
the sewing machine bee buzzing in his
bonnet was surprised to find out that
among these patents was one for a
sewing machine, rude, to be sure, but
working on the chain stitch principle.
This patent had lain forgotten for so
years, one of the curious Incidents in
the history of this invention.
The next man to try his luck was a
Frenchman, who invented machine
for stitching gloves, and went into
business in Paris. But the people who
made living by stitching gloves by
hand thought this machine was des-
tined to ruin their business. They
grew more and more angry day by day,
and at length a mob invaded his shop,
smashed all his machines and he had
to fee for his life. II was three years
before he dared to return; then they
received him coldly and he heard angry
threats muttered against him and his
invention; so he left Paris and travelled
through France, making his living by
exhibiting his machine as q curiosity.
A few years earlier than this Walter
Hunt of New York made a lockstitch
machine, but this invention is rather
indefinite, for it was incomplete and he
never patented it. The first man to
make a really practical lockstitch sew
ing machine was Elias Howe and he is
given credit for this important inven-
ton His life reads like q story. He
was born in Spencer, Mass, in 1919. His
father was a farmer and miller, and all
the children (there were eight were
taught to do something to help along.
1t fell TO the lot of little Elias to be
set to sticking wire teeth through the
leather straps used for cotton cards, so
he was taught to use his hands. There
was a little schooling in summer, but
he was not able to do farm work, for
