Finch, though but ) years and 3
months old, is a graduate Of the
Atlanta School of Anatomy and an
honorary member of the Southern
Medical fraternity.
The lad, while in the west, visited
medical college with some stu
dent and watched them dissecting
body. Afterward he attended
regularly, gaining a wonderful
knowledge in this line. The child
is unusually handsome, and his
long flaxen hair is allowed to hang
down over his shoulders in heavy
ringlets. He is the very essence of
impulsiveness and is like other
boys, except that his mind is con-
siderably brighter than the average.
He took the different parts Of the
human skeleton and told the scien-
tific names with remarkable cor
rectness.
DR.. linch enlisted in the regular
army, and aftcrward became an
army surgeon. H. was located
with his company on The Sioux res
ervation. 1t was there Albert was
born. His playmates were Indian
boys, of whom he now speaks in
fond terms. His father was then
transferred to the post near Atlanta,
Georgia. Albert al this place
acquired his wonderful love of anat-
omy by listening to his father give
;ns:ru ,tions to certain classes
among the soldiers, and afterward
in the School of Anatomy. During
the lecture he promptly answered
all questions put to him by him by
number of physicians present.
His father has been offered large
sums of money to allow him to
appear in public, but, being pro.
vided with enough of this worlds
goods to live comfortably, he pre-
fer to enjoy the company of his
son at home.

When you accept your friends

1t takes a man to break up the

When woman loves a man she
wants to die for his sake; when
man loves 4 woman he wants to

The most charitable thing that
can be done for some people is to
lie about them when you are asked
to tell the truth.
The average man not only wants

that people say he is afraid of her.

His son, a young cavalry officer, is

was the first to regain conscious

from the shock, and just as his
companion was regaining his senses
he gently pressed my hand, and
turning with a smile to bis friend,

Immediately all of my energies

for nearly three weeks l scarcely

actor, but had the effrontery,
as it was deemed. to demand
principal parts, and so imperious
was his manner that his demand
one night was granted, and he
abundantly showed he could play
the part.
