Golden Gate Park furnishes a recreation
ground for more people than even its most
enthusiastic supporters have any notion
Of In point of fact many of our wealth
lest people 90 there for a walk every day
of their lives, and it has been the scene of
many a philanthropic act that the world
generally "wots not Of" One OF the most
recent as well as one of the most pleas
ing is that of the poor fellow who was
found in an almost helpless condition, re-
Ginning on one of the benches with which
the .'great playground" is Literally sup
piled.
Ii the facts are known to almost every
one, the story is we'll worth telling over
again-for it points moral-it adorns
character with that milk of human kind
ness, the possession OF which is claimed
by so many, and yet owned by few. But
about the story. 1t is this:
a gentleman noted for his handsome
teeth, his iuxuriant auburn hair, his devo-
ton to ,pedestrianism, and his many quiet
charitable acts, was strolling-or rather
walking briskly-through the Pan
handle" of the Park when his attention
was attracted by a man, sitting ap-
parently asleep on one of the afore-
SAID benches His head was bent over
his chest and he swayed as though
rocked by the wind. The face was drawn,
and yet not harsh. "fhat poor devil is
i'll, said the man of the auburn hair men,
tally. A. second glence showed that the
'poor deviP' had sheet of paper grasped
in his left hand. Clearly there was man
who had fooled with woman-aDd had
himself been fooled. But the man with
the auburn hair has sympathy for
even such fools as that He approached
the "Poor DEVIL a glance at close quar-
| :ers and all the illusion was dispelled. In
front of him was a man evidently seriously
| i'll. He placed his hand kindly on his
| shoulder aud said "Can do anything for
you 2'' II guess not,' said the Poor
devil" but he said it in such weak, thin,
hating voice that the questioner said in
second NOW, see that you really need
assistance. Why are you sitting here ?''
81 am trying to get energy enough to go
down there" he replied in q half mechan-
ical way. and he exhibited a circular which
| is sent out to sufferers by the Hudson
Medical Institute.
LET me help you," said the man with
the auburn hair.
Really, that is all there is to the story
The fact that he was taken down 10 the
great Hudson Medical Institute at the
corner of Market, Stockton and Ellis
streets; that there they found that it was
merely severe case of nervous debility,
mpanied with the effects of blood
poisoning which had occurred years be-
lore; that they placed him under their
wonderful 'remedio-treatment" with their
remarkable "Hudyan"; that he was cured
in six weeks or two months and sent back
to his home in Mendocino County Wnen
he had contemplated trip 10 the other
world by his own weak hand-these are
all facts within the knowledge of every
| one who has heard the story. But that
does not detract one whit from the state
ment that the man with the aubarn ha,r
saved a mans life; nor does it do more
| than add more testim ony 30 the already
well-admitted fact that the doctors of the
! Hudson Medical Institute do bring back
vitality in every case which they under
| take. This is SO we'll understood by men
! about town that it is generally conceded
| that if Corbett would take a course of
| "Hudyan" he might even get into condi-
ton 10 fight again. While the H udson
doctors are willing to send circulars and
testimonials-as they did to this poor
deviP'-they are not given to discussing
| prize-fghters, or, for that matter, talking
bout any body, but, like most other people
who don't talk, they do wonderful work.
