Mmllimed a Trunk Key. 1
"I have tw&llowed a key to lock my
brain," is the remark attributed to
i Leiand Jordan, a 14-year-old school'
boy. i:i West Durham, when it was
found that he had actually nwallowed j
a trunk key. The teacher had been
from the room a few minutes and up
on returning found the pupils in a'
great commo'ion. and inquiry devel
oped that he had swallowed a
thin trunk key. about an inch
and a half by half an inch wide. The
young man was ruxhed to the Watts
hospital where auX-ray machine dis-!
closed the key at the lower part of the
throat, Physicians, after a eriod of
strenuous work, it is stated, relieved
the young man of the foreign matter, i
and he is now at school and happily
makes the statement that he had
"rather study than lock his brain."
It is generally believed, says a Dur
ham dispatch, that young Jordan had
the key in his mouth and accidentally
locking his brain was retarded as a
joke.
