Had a Needle in Her Heel.

The ten-year-old daughter of Wm. Wilcox, living near Aix, stepped on an upended needle Monday, and the sharp steel was entirely embeded in the heel of her left foot. The needle was threaded and her father sought to remove it by pulling on the thread, but the thread broke. She was then brougt to town and the physician who cared for the case found it necessary tgfechloroform the patient and to lance the heel before the needle could be removed. It was 1| inches in length.
