that he has a heart for each day, and a

WK EKLY .- NOR WLAK! GAZETTE;
5-YEAR OLD ANATOMIST.
Astonishes Chicago Physicians by His
Marvelous Knowledge of Osteology.
Little D. Will Gwyn, son of Dr.
Howell B. Gwyn of Chicago, is the
only child who holds a certificate of
proficiency in anatomy7 from profes-
sors of recognized medical colleges.
Though scarcely 5 years of age and
no taller than a table, this little tot is
perfectly familiar with the human
skeleton and the work of the dissect-
ing room. In fact he has witnessed
nearly every capital operation known
to surgery in the New York, Louisville,
New‘ Orleans and Chicago hospitals.
He is a marvel of precocity, and
knows every bone in the human body
as well as does a medical student at
his final examination. That is not all.
He can tell you with equal ease and
accuracy ' everything that is to be
known about the heart structure and
its complex functions, so that, were it
not for the sweet little face and the
fresh childish smile that illuminates
his bright features, and the childish
prattle that follows on the heels of his
wisdom, one might imagine him a lit-
tle automaton of anatomical wisdom.
It is not an uncommon thing to see
a child able to repeat by rote things
which he does not understand, after
the fashion of the parrot. Such chil-
dren are frequently found. But this
little one knows what he is talking
about. It is a feat of the brain and
tongue combined. It is seldom he is
ever “stumped,” even when one ques-
tions from one part of the anatomy to
another remote and little used. When
he seems to have forgotten the answer
his memory gropes for the name of
the particular bone or portion of the
body. and no matter how hard the
term is to pronounce his quick thought
grasps it in a second, and then he
rolls it out with the ease and readi-
ness of an old practitioner.—Chicago
Times-Herald.
[low a Colorado'Cemetaty Was Started
“The graveyard in Georgetown, 001..
was started,” explained a Colorada
politician, “by buryng a man who was
lynched. He was a bad character, and
made himself very disagreable in
many ways. Finally he shot a saloon
keeper there, and the boys, supposing
that the saloon keeper was dead, or-
ganized a lynch court and executed
him in very short order. After they
returned from their lynching bee the
saloon keeper showed some signs of
life. By the most careful kind of nurs-
ing he recovered from his injury. The
; boys saw that they had made a mis-
; take; that a life should not have been
‘ taken except in return for a life, and
