Mrs. Harry Carr had peculiar ac-
cident one day last week. While
reaching under the sink for some ar

sharp point of a fish hook, the leader
of which was firmly held in a crack
between the shelves. Involuntarily
she pulled sharply back and fastened
the hook in her hand by the barb.
Her position was such that she could
not reach the hook with her other
hand and her only recourse was to
call for help, which she did as loudly
as she could. Several heard her but
thought it was children playing until
finally Mr.. Carr, whose shop is close
to the house, went to investigate.
He found her nearly ready to faint
from pain and exhaustion and soon
freed her from her confined position.
After which he called in one of the
physicians who was passing and the
hook was removed.
