MRS. MOL|NEOX
WAS SHADOWEO
Divorce Application Is Based on
Fact that Husband Had Her
Watched While He Was in
Prison.
CALLED CRUEL TREATMENT.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Dec. 5.-Mrs.
Blanche Molineux does OF deny the re-
port sent out from here that the hiring
Of detectives to watch her after her
husbands confinement in the death
house at Sing Sing constitutes the
ground on which she will base her APP
piication for divorce.
Mrs. Molineux is not making any ad-
missions. but she broke her usual Gus
tom to-day and received the newspa.

ing the reported basis of her suit. and
said, "I must decline to discuss It,"
, As the story goes, the complaint in
the coming suit has already been pre-
pared by Mrs. Molineux's lawyers. and
Il will allege that Roland B.. MolineuX,
while in prison. employed detectives to
shadow her movements n by his dis
> trust of her caused great mental SUI
fering and so was guilty OF cruel AID
lnhuman treatment.
The complaint, It is further said.
will recito that during the second year
OF MolineuX's Incarceration, his wife
q~uarrelled with the members Of his fam
fly and during the two years following
Mollneux was distrustful, had heI
watched and in other ways annoyed her
by his emissaries.
1t will be remembered that Mrs. Moli-
neux after her arrival here gave out a
statement for publication in which she
intimated that the mental torture &c
which her husband had subjected her
was sufficient excuse for her wishing a
separation. h did not specify at the
time In what this mental afActIon con-
sisted. bat the inference then was that
she spoke Of the humiliation of being
the wife of a condemned criminal. II

Up All Nlghe.

This getting up every night
with the baby, or some of the
older children, is all wrong.
Not that the children are to
blame. If he's the baby, prob
ably his food is wrong. Vinol
will help his mother stand the
strain Of nursing.
We have often seen whole
families Of older children who
keep the parents awake O.
nights. First one, then the
other is ailing.
These children seem we'll
enough at times; but they are
white, h~ollow-eyed, often list
less, with irregular appetites,
peevish and fretful, wakeful at
night and constantly taking cold.
The use of Vinol, in conjunc-
ton with Vinlax to regulate the
bowels, will benefit these child
rem almost in a day. u
There is nothing in Vinol that
can hurt them. Ii is pleasant
to take. E If it doesn't do the
work, we will give you the
money back.

The Broad Az wishes to know what
the Advocate has to find fault with In
The Rev. P. e. Hubert. The matter
Is little personal, but since the ques-
ton has been asked publicly we are
not afraid to answer II. It all lies IN ,
a nutshell, OF rather two or three nut
shells. In the first place, the editor
did not ind Mr.. Hubert either moral |
or an honest man. These words are
used advisedly, II morality consists in
obedience to the moral law and IL
honesty means the paying Of ones
debts. This said gentleman, after
finding out that he was found out by
the editor Of the Advocate, called at
the Iatter's house, where he had been
stopping, and got his baggage, depart
ing without paying his biIl-for board
and lodging. Word was sent to the
University OF WIiberforce, which he
was at that time representing or rath-
er miErepressnting, but word was sent
hack that he no longer was connected
Herewith. and 80 exit Mr.. Hubert

1t happens to many man and woman
that in the absorbing demands OF business
or professional life, of home duties or the
claims of society, there is a gradual failure
of moral purpose or religious conviction,
and, while the lie grows in one direction,
it as surely degenerates in another. We
can cultivate any part OF our natures we
WILL just as the gardener or horticulrur-
list, by selecting certain qualities gradually
develops a new kind OF potato or corn, a
new variety of strawberry or apple. We
can make ourselves new kinds of men and
women by giving attention to business or
pleasure, books or music, athletics or re-
lgion. Spiritual things are not of inter-
est to us where we do not cultivate them,
just as business becomes dull if we do not
give attention to it and try to make 1t in
teresting As no man can be strong unless
he takes much exercise, so 10 man can be
devout who does not wrestle with God
in prayer, early and late.
Every kind Of cultivation leads to
growth in manhood, and we are the kind
Of men we make ourselves by our toll and
our play, our hopes and our fears, our
fidelity of mind and our loyalty of heart.
When the mind is open and alert the
heart gentle and loving, the conscience
firm and unfailing, the viii strong and
steadfast, we are sure to grow into larger
manhood and womanhood, and there is
nothing else for the sake OF which life is
worth living. Truly, it is a good and ac-

The innermost room may be torture
chamber or shrine of peace. According
as it is, one or the other, so is life happy
or unhappy. For the blessedness of life
does not so much depend on what is pass
ing in the outer chambers as Of what is
passing in the secret place of the soul 1t
is because we forget this that we blunder
so much, strive so hard, are so bitterly dis
appointed with our so-called successes. In
the innermost room remorse may be pres
ent, infinite repining, infinite sorrow. Inc
very thought Of entering it may be agony,
but enter you must. An unseen force drags
You into the peace of pain. Or it may be
a shrine of rest, a veTitable chamber of
peace To visit it, to linger in it, may be
the chief JOY and solace of existence. One
may come from it vita radiant face and
strong heart, able to cope with his diff
culties and perform his allotted task in an
other spirit. Is this the last word? No:
the riddle of life is never understood until
we know that the torture chamber may be-
come, not all at once. but by sure and slow
degrees, a shrine of peace. Most OF us
know how this comes to pass in sorrow,
how a sober joy at last replaces the bitter
anguish The religion that we need is
religion that will lay all the ghosts that
will cast the instruments of torture from
the innermost room, that will DIVIDE the
great glooms and make it a place of re-
pose And this is why we must always
say to the sufferer in his most cruel hour
of endurance: "Hope on; hope ever. 1t
will not be always as it is now" The place
to which you are now dragged as by furies
may come one day to be your sure and
chosen home. You will one day want
nothing better than the peace of the in
nermost room-W Robertson Nicoll.
