Kant, of Midway, met with what might have terminated in a serious and perhaps fatal accident on last Saturday morning. In toddling over the floor she picked up a loose steel heel tap, about an inch long with two prongs or teeth on one side, which happened to be lying in her way, which she put in her mouth and made an attempt to swallow, but fortunately its motlier, who was near by, discovered tho child was choking with something and ran to itt relief, and thrusting her fingers in the child's mouth found the heel tap lodged in its throat, the prongs of the tap being caught lu the tonsils. In pulling the heel tap out the child's throat waa slightly lacerated, oausing the injured parta to bleed freely for a short while. The little one is ail right now, and of courso is in blissful ignorance of the mil ?teni o UH escape it had perhaps from death. Mrs. Fant of courso was terribly frightened during the ordeal of getting tho heel tap ont nf her baby'B throat, and her nerves wor? very much unstrung for several hours after wards. Her advice is to keep dangerous things ont of tho baby's way.
