The country has "hoy pruachoM , " "boy

Bcore , but Atlanta , On , comes to tlio front
with a boy doctor , nndtt \ \ every reason to
bo proud of the precocity of this youthful
citizen. who IHM soon fit to depart from the
Nithorotoforo adhorol to by Juvonllo ga
mines.
The youngster's name Is Albert Vonor
( " ensch , and lie Is onlv llvo yuars of ago. Ho
tvai not lontf since the roolploat of an honor
tlmthasnovur boon In nil history oonforroa
nn ono so young. During tno recent conven
tion In Atlanta of the Southern Medical so-
clnty ho wns unanimously elected to honorary
membership In that organisation , ns the
foungast medical student known to the pro
fession.
The prosldont of the society In calling the
the inombors's attention to this youthful
prodigy , stated that althoiiRh ho Imd not ynt
ronched the atto of live years , hu was pos
sessed of n knowledge of anatomy , especially
of intPoUiifV cnnal to that of many gmduntos
of medicine. In his exhibition before tboso-
cicty Master Albert was not only nblo to plvo
thu lechidchal mid scientific narnua of cncli of
the two hundred atid odd bones of the hu
man skeleton , but to describe their various
functions , divisions , tuboroslUos , tubercles ,
depressions , processes , urtlcuhitlons.ntc. Ho
can repeat also the nanios , origin and Inser
tion of nearly all thonmselos of the human
body , the process of circulation nnd of dlgoa-
llnn.
llnn.Ho
Ho hns slnco heen examined by the profes-
lor of anatomy in the southern medical college -
lego of Atlanta , and has been given a. certlH-
cateof graduation in anatomy.
The child Is the son of an army surgeon at
present stationed at l''ort Mcl'berson , Atlan
ta. Ho was born at Fort Niobrara , Nob. , at
which post bis father was then stationed.
This post Is located near the Sioux reserva
tion anil Master Albert's ' earlier nnd solo
playmates wore the little Sioux children.
His favorite playmate was a llttlo Indian boy
named Two Kettles , who is still lovingly re
ferred to.
Llttlo Albert's ' knowledge of anatomy dates
from about a year ago , when ho was given a
dilapidated copy of "Grayjs Anatomy'1 ' with
colored plates nnd Illustrations , which
through childish curiosity ho asked to have
nxplnlned to him. 'J'hesu explanations iinulu
n permanent Impression upon bis llttlo brain
nnd inspired him with a desire to learn more
about the fascinating science.
In October last ho attended with his father
a lecture nt thu Southern mrdleal college of
Atlanta , whcro ho hoard n lucid and simple
explanation of the bony structure. When ho
returned homo , to the .surprise of all ho was
nhlo to rehcarso In his own way the substance
Of the lecture. Slnco that tlmo ho hna been a
regular attendant upon the lectures of that
collnge , where ho Is n general favorite with
the professors and students.
Sorno ono lias presented him with a com
plete skeleton which Is prized inoro highly
than most children do their blocks and other
toys. In addition to electing him nn honora
ry member. Uio pouthern Medical society pre
sented him with a gold medal to still further
nttcat their admiration for his remarkable
talent.
The future surgeon nnd anatomist attends
a kindergarten school , and Is just beginning
to spoil short words. He is n handsome
child , with lustrous brown oycs.rosy cheeks ,
Rnd long golden locks.

were quite unprepared for the sad shock.
