which the father, who was preparing
to go to town, sent the lad to bring
the gun to the house.
On the way the boy attempted to
extract the cartridges. and the gun
exploded. No one seeing the accident
but the younger children it is not
just clear how the charge could have
struck him in a way to tear away
part of his right arm and enter his
side, making large hole. Death
was almost instantaneous.
The frantic father jumped into his
automobile and started at terrific
speed for a neighbors to phone for a
doctor and in making short turn into
the farm ditched his car, completely
wrecking the machine. 1t is said

ed by Arta Goff and Jerry Travis and

which has ever been heard in this
part of the country. The speaker held
the attention of his hearers for forty
minutes. He made reference to the
cardinal virtues of Elkdom, charity,
brotherly love and Justice, and then
expounded on the motto Of all lodges:
"The faults Of our brothers we write
upon the sands
Their virtues on the slabs Of mem
ory."
Mr. Melton closed his address with
an eulogy on the life and service Of
Isaac w Helm. the only member oil

this case was the fact that with this
striking deficiency in respect to
words and letters the patient had
no difficulty at all with figures. He
had lost his visual memories of
words, but retained his visual mem
cries Of figures, an observation
which seems to compel the conclu-
sion that the two groups of mem
cries are located in different though
perhaps neighboring brain-areas.

task of learning to read, commence
Ing with the letters of the alphabet

he obtained a considerable measure
Of success. He had to provide him

this by the education of a new area
