A TRAINED NURSE

Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
of So Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who is a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia. and for
SIX years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. 1t is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:

after eight years of experience

is the safest and best medicine
FOR any suffering woman to
use.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
millions ia Woman'g win,

1t was announced in Paterson by the
official appraiser that the estate OF
Mrs. Mary e. Ryle, who was known
throughout the State of New Jersey
for her philanthropy was valued at
SO, 1853, 675. Mrs Ryle, who died few
months ago, was probably the most
popular woman in Paterson She gave
: literally toward the construction of
public buildings hospitals and chart
table ilStitutions and the general well
fare of the city was always a matter
of personal concern to her She al
ways looked thoroughly into matter
before signing check and for poor
people she did great deal which the
world never knew about. She was
an exceptionally clever business wOm-
an, as is proved in the appraisers in
ventory of her property. The bulk Of
her great wealth was invested in
choice securities which are all above
par value, most Of them good dividend
paying railroad shares She had about
100000 invested in Paterson securi-
ties. By her will Mrs. Ryle leaves al
most her entire property to relatives
and friends. evidently feeling that dur
ing her lifetime she had given to char
ity all that she was called upon to
give. Paterson is indebted to Mrs.
Ryle for the beautiful Public Library
building which, with its contents, is
the finest in the State 1t is estimated
that she. spent over half million dol
lars on this institution alone. Mrs.
Ryle's first donation fo~ free public
library purposes was the old Danforth
homestead, for which she paid $685.
600 In remodeling and making the
building available for a public library
she spent $4,000 more When the
library grew she gave further $16,-
GOO, which enabled the trustees to
build large addition. This building
was totally destroyed by fire and then
the philanthropist gave the city $780,
600 Since then she has given to the
trustees nearly quarter of million
dollars more.

/ must make mention of popularity

ject from my earliest remembrance. ]
am somnambulist. 1t is not my pur-
pose to enter into any discussion of this
fruitful theme; j am simply recording
those facts which bear relation to my
strange story.
Often in my youthful days was ]
followed by my nurse and relatives in
the night, while was walking in my
sleep, and carefully watched, in order
that should not come to harm. My
wanderings were generally of HARM
less kind, and sometimes afforded mer
riment, as on occasions when / made
my way to the Iarder and helped my
self to the good things deposited there.
But there was one occasion when they
took more serious turn.
/ slept on the second floor of semi
detached house. In the adjoining house
resided mana widower when first
became acquainted with him-with
little daughter, between whom and my
self some innocent love making took
place. The father of this little girl,
whose name was Elsie, married again.,
and the stepmother was not kind to
the child Indeed, when the father
was absent from home Elsie was cru
ely treated by this woman, and used
to hear her cries through the wall
which divided the two houses. Elsie
slept also on the second floor, in the
room adjoining mine, and when she
was beaten in the night / could hear
her appeals for mercy very clearly.
These sounds greatly distressed me,
and my child-mind was excised as the
means by which l could rescue my
little sweetheart from the torture to
which she was subjected. On one
occasion business took the father from
his home for two or three weeks, and
during this time Elsie's undeserved
punishment was sure it was unde+

CHAPTER III.

My wife's words, "And just now we
must have no Clouds" were an allusion
to joyful event which we were human
~ certain would take place during the
day. Within the last two years we had
struck up friendly acquaintance with
a gentleman of independent fortune
who lived a few miles from Boscombe
Lodge, and on the morning of the fore
going conversation with my wife re-
ceived the following note from him:
my Dear Mr.. Pardon-Unless ! re-
ceive telegram from you to the effect
that you will not be able to see me,
shall do myself the pleasure of cali
ing upon you at about O'clock to dis
cuss a matter of the deepest and ten
derest interest to both of us. With
very kind regards to Mrs. and Miss
Pardon and yourself, believe me, faith
fully yours,
HASTINGS CLANRoNALD."
There was no mistaking the purport
of this letter. We had long suspected
that Mr.. Clanronald's son Harry was
in love with our daughter, and it had
formed the subject of many serious
conversations between me and my
wife. Eunice's heart, we saw, was lost,
and HarTy's father was now coming
to ask her hand for his son. A peculiar
self-consciousnesS on the part Of Eunice
convinced us that she had been in
formed by Harry of the impending in
terview. Loving she always was, but
there was clinging, pathetic tender
ness in the morning caress, the mean
ing of which, having read Mr.. Clan
rOnald's letter, was clear to meas
though she was pleading to me to place
no bar to her happiness
At the appointed hour Mr.. Clanronald
came, and we soon arrived at an under
cstanding that the projected union was
suitable in every refRect; but it was at
my instigation, and not at the instiga-
ton Of Mr., Clanronald, that the bust
ness aspect of the affair was postponed
for future consideration. l had the
best of reasons for this postponement
"There viii be no difficulty, l pre-
sume,. said Mr.. CIanronald, and his
eyes wandered to The evidence Of
wealth by which / was surrounded.
None whatever replied. "Eu-
nice's great uncle, whose heir / am, is
absent from England, and it will be
naturally agreeable to him sthat he shall,
have voice in the matter. He is very
wealthy, and the postponement win be
in the interests Of the young couple.
"Quite so,' said Mr.. ClanronaId. II
am prepared to do what is necessary
and proper, and you viii meet me in a
like spirit?''
He put this in the form of question,
and replied, "You may rest perfectly
satisfied"
He expressed himself so, and then we
went to join my wife and daughter at
luncheon. He shook hands cordially
with my wife, and kissed Eunice, who
knew by that sign that all was well.

closer to her mother, whose tenderness
toward the dear child we were to lose
