TOOK ONE STITCH
In HER FINGER

Into Furore.

day how to run a new sewing machine
which she had just bought, Mary

pain.
When the spick and span machine
was placed In her home at 500
Stephenson Street, the woman said
she would show the children how to
haste, bind, hem stitch and ruf1le. She
sat down at the machine and placed
piece of calico under the needle and
began to pump with her feet Whiz!
Whiz! Buz! Buz! and away went the
machine; stitch, stitch, went the
needle in the cloth.
Mary sewed a score or more of fancy
curlecues. Then she started to design
an initial in the cloth, when. suddenly
the machine stopped with a thud and
Mary shouted murder. "Chillun. I've
sewed myself!" she exclaimed, as she
leaped up from her chair, The half
Of the needle was In the woman's
finger and the other half in the ma
chine.
For few minutes the Johnson
home was like bedlam. Cries, screams
and calls for help rent the air. Neigh

the excitement some one telephoned
in a hurry call for the ambulance and

Those persons who have been ex-
