starting backwards and throwing out
the balance. What could be more SIM
pie?
There are several pretty exhibitions
which Mrs. Naldare gives alone. In
one she mounts her machine with her
back turned to the handle-bars and
rides 1t thus round and round, some
times steering with one hand, some
times folding both arms before her.
In another, keeping her left foot on
its pedal the whole time, she swings
her right leg over, and placing it on the
hrim of the wheel, lowers the machine
till it rests on the right pedal. From
this posture. and without even touching
the ground herself. she throws the ma
chine TO an upright position and starts
off as If there hal been no interruption
whatever
When riding at full speed she will
now and then spin her front wheel
round like n teetotum, without waver-
ing an inch out of her course.
More SNOWY even than this, how
ever, is the way in which she rides
standing first ON one pedal and then on
the other, keeping both legs always on
the same side of the machine; or an.
other trick, in which she and her hus.
band swing round and round each 9th
er, changing from one side OF the ma.
chine to the other, while, as IL by
magic, 1t continues TO run diligently
about the stage.

Randall joined the conference three
years after its organization. and he has
seen every day Of its growth in size and
Importance. His tall, spare form has
never been missed at any of the meet
ings. He was one of the early abOli
tiOnists, and as long ago as 1882 he pro
tested in public speeches against slay
cry. He cast the only abolition vote in
his town in 1910. AS a preacher Dr..
Randall has been most successful. He
brought zeal, true religious feeling and
an abiding faith in his creed to bis
work. His one fear in his youth was
that he would not live to fill out his ca
reer as a preacher. How false those
fears We're he now knows. At 30 Dr.
Randall possesses clear mind and
takes a deep interest in the Methodist
Church.

Ehllys parents were willing to risk
any danger or peril to save the little
girl.
Ihe doctor told them what a fearful
FISK 1t would be. The child might die
under the operation. The operation
might possibly be of no benefit to her
and on the other hand the chances
were greatly in favor of her brain
growing to its normal size. The skull
lifted, the imprisoned brain might grow
and expand until it reached the size
that an adults brain should be.
After the Woodruffs had thoroughly
considered the matter, they decided TO
take the chances and have the opera
uon performed. A day was appointed
and little Emily was carried down tn
1t. Joseph's intirmary by her father
Ihey cut off the locks. shaved her head
closely and then put her under the in
huence of chloroform. 1t was n deli
cate operation which the doctors then
performed. At the temple they cut
into the skull and on either side thev
cut out of the skull round piece about
the size of nickel. Beginning at these
openings at the temple they cur the
Skull open, running back to a point ot
the very top of the head. The cut was
eleven inches long and formed n ner,
feet V, with the sharp points at the
crown of the head and the other noipts
at the two temples. The skull was
lifted slightly and after all the neces.
sary surgical work the wound was
bandaged up. The little girl was left
in her bed and the next morning when
the physicians called was PLAYING with
her doll, all unconscious of the fearful
opening in her head.
After ten days at the infirmarv sba
was sufficiently recovered to be taken
home. She showed no signs of the ter.
rible ordeal except an increased ner.
vousness. Her parents declare she is
improving every day and they have
great hopes of her mind growing into
normal proportions. The doctors say
that Improvement must be slow. tnat
growth will he gradual process. and
1t will be six months at least before

clans warned the family that death
was likely to result. Emily lives with
her father and mother and brothers at
Al Castleberry street, Atlanta, Ga.
The child is large for her age-She's
as tall as her mother and has the face
of a girl of 1G. She was an unusual
child, quiet and sober. with an express
sion beyond her years. She learned to
talk slowly, but to walk quickly. She
Stammered awkwardly in her speech
and mixed her words. She had n bright,
sweet face and an extremely affection
ate and clinging nature.
Little Emily grew on for several
years before they knew how strangely
evil she had been treated by nature.
They sent her to school. The teacher
struggled for weeks to teach her and
then-she made an awful discovery.
The child could not he taught. She
could not learn figures. She could not
add l and l together. She read. but
merely by rote: she did not understand.
1t was hopeless task. The baby mind
of the girl could not be taught. The
teacher told her mother.
In the past several years many ply
sicians have been appealed to to help
the little girl. All have given up the
case without even locatin the trouble.
Little Emily grew on, but her brain,
prisoned fast beneath the hard skull,
remained the same. 1t grew no larger
could be no larger pressed in a mar
row space as it was by curious and
unusual malformatiOn of the head.
The little girl. it was plain to the
surgeons trained mind, was suffering
from the confinement of her brain in a
too narrow space. There was but one
thing to he done to save her. That was
to lift the skull from the brain and give
the little ones mind room to grow.
