Examination Free to All.


Although the doctor is in many cases

yet he makes no charges TO anyone. believ-

to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate monthly visit crowds flock to
see him. and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking a
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is, and the prospect Of a cure, and
most wonderful of all he values his first
impression and first look ut patient more
than all else, and DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner in all re-
spects. Following the plan of st. Georges
Hospital OF London, he registers every
particular as TO the patients physical con-
dition and mental state. The condition of
each organ, location of any and all dis
eased parts. and whether sympathetic or
organic. together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount OF vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power of the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy and destructive capabilities of the dis
ease. Thus knowing the actual condition
of the tissues and the effect of specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case is
durable or not and can also give the APP
prOximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well in few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years.

Since it was first organized the P. A. G.

in getting building was great. Some of
the most discouraging difficulties were over

handsome building OF its own. But 1t is not
large enough now, and there is a movement
on foot to have larger building, and an
offer has been made to the ?. A. c. that is
very, very tempting.
The other day member of the P. A. c..
made the following statement to the writer:
'Tt is quite true that we have been offered a
building, and will tell you all about it. 1t
has been suggested that the Linden, Belle
field and our club consolidate and make
one big club. The members of the Linden
Club 1 am told are willing to furnish the

THE CHILD was A HERO.

How a 12-Year Old West Virginia Girl
BraFed a Mad Bmll.
Los Angeles Times.I
A stock farmer in West Virginia has 9
story to tell of a little girl which might
have been related of some brave heroine
of q novel. Only a country child IL
years old, but she showed presence of
mind and q valiant heart possessed by few
men.
Walking along country road with two
little children, she heard behind her the
running hoois and peculiar voices of the
crossest bull on the farm. The fences were
barbed wire, close and high. Alone she
might have torn through, but with two
babiesl
Quick as a fash her mind had to work,
and her motions to follow the thought.
She pushed the children ahead of her,
then turned to face the infuristed animal.
Standing like a rock until its lowered
head was within arms length, she hooked
her fingers in the ring in its nose and led
the cowed and helpless creature home.

lot, but il the three East End clubs consoli-
date they will be one of the strongest clu BIS
in the country.
Whatever may be the result of the agita-
tion it is safe to say that the P A. c, means
to get stronger and stronger The desire
among its members to have larger build
ing is almost unanimous and that means
that larger building will be forthcoming
Much can be said against the consolida-
tion plan, and, of course, much can be said
in its favor. There are many members in
the Linden and Bellefield clubs who are
members of the clubs more for social en-
jovments than for athletic exercises 1t
might be that this element and the young
and active athletes could not agree.
Everything is looking we'll for the big
Rugby football game tomorrow week. The
Princeton and Yale boys have been practic-

tory is wanted. Manager Kountz will
have strong team on the field to represent
the Three AS.
There have been many rumors current rela-

team is going to do next year. 1t is graft

up his mind up to remain with the Three A

FALL OF A FAMOUS TREE.

er the Only Mark Twain.
Harper's Young People
Mark Twain, one of the largest and most
famous of the giant sequoiatrees of Cali
fornia, has been telled, and part of it is
now at the Museum of Natural History in
New York City, which contains the most
complete collection of American woods in
existence.
This monarch of the forest was somewhat
more than 300 feet tall; that is, it lifted its
topmost branches about as high as the
statue of Diana on the Madison Square
tower in New York, and the trunk was 80
feet in diaemter. 1t was not good tree to
climb, for the lowest branches were 200 feet
above the ground, and when the big trunk
fell it shook the earth for some distance
around. In an even climate like that of
California a tree forms new ring every
year. and the most careful estimates place
the age of Mark Twain at 2, 500 years; that
is, ne was 600 years old at the birth of
Christ, and was good-sized tree when
Alexander the Great conquered the world.
Very few trees are still living that were

As far as the development of athletes
is concerned Pittsburg is comparatively
new in the business. Considering the short
length of time that thorough athletic clubs
have been in existence here, Pittsburg has
done very we'll in producing good material
and shaping that material in very good per-
formers. But these efforts have bsen mostly
in the liEe of "outdoor" performers. We
have not figured so well in indoor contests,
simply because sufficient attention has not
been paid to this branch of business. The
local clubs ought to pay more attention to
the indoor contests, because it is easv to see
that every year contests of this kind are
becoming more and more popular.
In every large city there are indoor ath-
letic competitions now on very large scale.
Victories and prizes gained at them are Just
