vance of his enterprise. Therefore Miss
Belle Archer is now full fledged lad
vance lady," if such term may be
coined for the emergency.
Miss Archer is the daughter of James
l.. Mingle, who was the editor of the
Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch for long
time, and many bright articles from her
pen delighted its subscribers. In fact,
the dramatic column was edited entirely
by her.
1t can be readily imagined that Miss
Archer will create considerable of SELL
sation in newspaper sanctums through
out the country, and that press agent
traditions will receive shock. 1t is
probable, too, that a pretty business
woman calling upon an editor and ar
ranging for the insertion of her adver-
tisements will prove a far more agree
able visitor than the average avant cou-
rier Of travelling company. If she COM
bines tact with business ability, there
seems no good reason why she should
not succeed in O field hitherto unassailed
by petticoats. Indeed pretty woman
travelling in advance of theatrical COM
pany may prove a formidable rival of
the present male agent.

She Has Invaded the Field of the Male

Belle Archer, the actress, has adopted
a new line of work and has practically
given up the stage to demonstrate that q
woman can do as much, if not more,
than man in furthering the interests of
theatrical star Miss Archer, besides
being a professional beauty, is an actress
of recognized ability and has supported
artists of such magnitude as Jefferson,
Nat Goodwin, E. H. Sothern and Alex
ander Salvini. During the summer she
was member of Mr.. Lifts stock COM
pany, and, while in st. Paul, told Mr..
Saint Maur, manager for Miss Carrie
Turner, of her desire to become an adj
vance agent. He was impressed with
her earnestness, and after long talk

whole conversation and conduct, weak
ems the strength of her opposition to
what her intuitions warn her is false or
dangerous, softens her phraseology and
not very infrequently prompts her to
say in the end:
Every we'll, you know best. Twill do
what you say" when the indignant
common sense at the back Of her mind
is clamoring:
That's nonsense! 1t isn't ut all as
you say! shall lose my money, or my
case, or my success if do thus and sol"
Every woman knows that, though she
be wise as Minerva, pure as Diana, re-
gal as Juno, or even beautiful as We
nus, If she wearies n man, If she claims
the time and attention he wants to be-
stow upon his business, his pleasure, or
more especially upon himself, he ceases
to wish for her presence-in fact, he
grows tired Of her-and in the end feels
her to be bore and avoids her. l sup
pose most women would rather die than
to know they were thus regarded by any
number, perhaps any one, of the men of
their acquaintance, and if they feel
themselves in proximity to any such po-
sition they will hastily sacrifice any the
DRY, any scheme or any advantage and
withdraw from the position their reason
bids them hold with tenacity.
And here, of course, is the point 1 have
intended to make. The woman's need of
love, Of liking or of approval from man
Is terrible element of weakness in her
nature. She is her own enemy. She is
made helpless by her own best and sweet
est characteristic. The motto of her career
is, after all, no more than this, although
the motto must be expanded to its very
widest and most general limits:

Examination Eree to All.

Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled 20 use expensive instruments
and chemicals in making analyses, micro
scopic and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, beliep-
ing It to be a part of the physicians duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate a monthly visit crowds flock to
see him. and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking q
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 at u patient more
than all else, ana DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from tho 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 tho
body measured against the force and en-
ergy and destructive capabilities of the dis-
ease. Thus knowing the actual condition
Of tho tissues and the clfeut 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 ap-
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 n few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years.

Not because they are fierce, but because
they are so frightened. l suppose they
could be put to some use, too, if they could
be tanned, for they must be both strong and
fleet. They seem to have bit of everything

that nearly all the animals know him and
put their noses up to give him welcome
