Up All Night.

This getting up every night
with the baby, or some Of the
older children, is all wrong.
Net 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 well
enough at times; but they are
white, hollow-eyed, often list
less, with irregular appetites,
peeviSh and fretful, wakeful at
might and constantly taking cold.
The use of Vinol, in conjunc-'
tion with Vinlax to regulate the
bowels, will benefit these child
rem almost in a day.
There is nothing in Vinol that
can nurt them. 1t is pleasant
to take. If it doesn't do the
work, we will give you the
money back.

WORSHIPPING THE DEVIL.

The so-called Baron de Adelsward and
Count de Warren were yesterday in Paris
found guilty of exciting minors to de-
bauchery. Each was sentenced to six
months Imprisonment and TO depriva-
ton of civil rights for a period of five
years. The accused sought to show
that the immoral acts charged were in
cidents to the performance of Erotic
mysteries, including the worship OF
idols. skulls and crossbones, symbolical
of the devil. 1t was charged that the
Baron and Count dedicated room as a
temple to the devil and there initiated
neophytes into the so-called mysteries
of the worship of his Satanic Majesty.
Idols, skulls and crossbones and symbols
of the devil we're the principal decora-
tions of the temple. Little has been
heard of the devil worshippers-Satan-
lists or Lucifers, as they call themselves
since 1896, when the members of the
order gathered in Jerusalem in anticipa-
ton of the birth of child who was fated
to be the grandmother ofthe Anti-Chrlst.
The woman who was expected to be the
mother of this child was Sophie Waider
and the father was reputed to be, accord
ing to the traditions of the Luceferlans,
Bertree, demon of princely rank and
origin. Sophie Walder was at that time
SS yes.rs of age, and the tradition ran
that her daughter at 33 would be the
mother of another daughter, who, at
the same age, would be the mother OF
the Anti-Christ. Little is known OF
the Satanists except that they worshipped
Satan. The order is said to be wide
spread and is secretly welding consider
able power. In France and in the Far
East it is especially strong, and in the
former country many of the most revolt
inc crimes committed are laid at the
doors of the worshippers OF Satan: Ihe
order Is also held responsible ior the
desecration of churches, which taxes
place there frequently.

to their oilskins, while the seas bang
the weather wall of the forecastle like
shells from heavy guns.
Eight bell!--relieVe the watch!"
Aye, eight bells; but the watch has
yet to wait a while, for no mortal
man could wade those flooded decks
from ford to aft. Sea after sea, green
and white, pour over the bulWarks,
like the breaking of a big dam.
Finally comes another lull. The ship
pauses as though to rest, while the
tons of water on deck shot out through
hawespipe and scupper. Once more the
deck is visible, covered only by the
foam-rimmed sheets of ripping water,
The lee door Of the forecastle flies
open, and one by one the men shoot
out, like bees from a hive, and scurry
aft, fairly throwing themselves up the
poop ladder.
All hands are aft-all but one. Old
Sam Harland, able seaman, fingers to
fill his pipe, as he invariably does, in
fair weather or foul. Creeping Sam
they call him. At last he crawls out,
shuts the forecastle door and starts
aft.
Suddenly all hands shout and ges-
ticulate to him. He sees, but the shouts
are lost in the roar of the gale. Slow
ly he waddles aft, unconscious of his
danger Were he to look behind him
he would see coming up on the wealth
er bow distant but fast approaching
wall Of greenish gray, it's white top
apparently licking the low hanging
clouds.
He does see at last, but too late. The
ship gives a quick lurch, a heave, at
tempts to rise to the oncoming billow,
but fails. High up, level with the

it seems to hesitate, lifts, leans for
ward, then falls, crashing down on
the whole ford part of the ship. From
rail top to rail top the main deck fills
in an insant, each mast the center OF
a whirlpool of yeasty foam. Then, as
the ridge of the wave passes under
the ship, she lurches, rolls over to
windward into the hollow beyond,
dumping her deckload of seething wa
ter over her weather bulwarks into the
sea.
If you were to put dry pea into an
empty saucepan, and then souse a
bucket of water over it, you would
understand what happened to Sam
Harland, able seaman. His shipmates
saw him struggling in the foam, saw
him slowly sucked towards the bull
warks, then shot across their top into
the refluX of the sea outside

There were few of Sans shipmates
who had not seen this tragedy enacted
before. 1t was what followed that was
unusual.

WHAT WOMEN
SHOULD DO IN
A RUNAWAY

Every woman who rides or drives a
horse is apt to have trouble with it
some day: there may come time
when the best of horsewomen will find
herself Juggling vainly at the reins be-
hind q runaway.
In such an event there are only two
things to DO. In the first place keep
horse by shrieking. In the second
place, pull his head around sharply,
either to the right or to the left by a
quick jerk of the rein. 1t is almost
hopeless to try to pull up a spirited
runaway by a straight tug, no matter
how strong the driver may be. In
deed, it is not always necessary to try
to pull UP a runaway. Unless the road
happens to be much frequented by
pedestrians and vehicles. IL woman
keeps a cool head and a steady hand
she can guide a runaway until he
grows tired far more easily than she
can stop it.
But prevention is better than cure
in this matter, as in all other matters.
There are some very simple tricks by
which any woman can prevent her
horses from running away.
There was trouble and excitement
one day on a ranch in Colorado. A
high-spirited, half-broken stallion was
prancing about the yard attached to
the rancher's house. He had just
thrown a cowboy who boosted there
was nothing on four legs he could not
ride, and he was rearing and bucking
so that not even the Quickest man
on the ranch dared to approach.
While the men we're standing around,
wondering what to do. the rancher's
l6-year-old daughter came out OF the
house and calmly walked up to the ex-
cited animal.
When he saw her, he ceased rearing,
whinnied and stood still. She just put
her hand on his name, stroked his
nose, and then vaulted lightly on his
back and rode around the yard, to the
amazement of the men.
How do you manage it," one of
them asked her. Before you tackled
him he was as savage as a tiger"
"It is simple enough" the girl re-
Piled "Any woman can handle q
horse better than man can. See
this" showing the man a small round
object she had in her hand. this is
horse castor. Horses love the smell
of It and will go up to anyone who has
1t.
ANY horse has sense enough to
know the people who love It. That
stallion began to quiet down as soon
as he saw me. When I got near him
he smelled the musty horse castor in
my clothes, for ! always carry little
piece in my pocket.
"That pleased him go much that

doing so ] rubbed his nose with a
few drops Of oil OF cumin, which had
poured into the palm of my hand.

Then, did you notice that l put my
hand into his mouth? The object of
that was to pour a few drops of oil of
rhodium on to his tongue from tiny
phial which / always carry.

can be tanned. Where do you get
them? Well. the cumin and rhodium

sessed, but his most pleasant duty
was carrying notes to Hamilton's
Miss Mabel.
He was loyal to his trust, and when
Jimmy Hines, one of the runners for
Henshaw e. Co., took him to the
theater and artfully suggested that he
might materially increase his earnings
by informing Henshaw as to certain
projects of Carter & Hamilton's, he
refused Indignantly.
He did not like to carry tales, but
quite casually the following morning
suggested to Hamilton that he heard
that Henshaw was trying to get infor-
nation from one of their boys.
Hamilton looked quietly into John
Henry's eyes. He could form a pref
ty shrewd idea as to the identity of
the boy approached, but one look into
the youngsters face satisfied him.
There was nothing of the traitor
there.
"Tkat wouldn't do at all just now"
he said. eff Henshaw got much of
an idea about that /. & x. deal it
would fall through and we should
have to suspend"
He turned again to his work, and
John Henry returned to his letter
filing. Down in the boys breast there
was something warm and satisfying.
He could not exactly define his feel
ings. He only knew that Hamilton
had spoken to him as man to man.
Hamilton trusted him, There had
been ring to the voice that was diff
ferent. 1t was a frank admission of a
fact John had only guessed at, and to
him it was as sacred as an oath.
After that Jack Hamilton was more

Carter & Hamilton believed that
I. & x. stock would lose in value.
They had, therefore, sold to Henshaw
the privilege of buying certain num-
Der of shares of that stock at a certain
price within three months. For this
privilege Henshaw paid a cash price.
If the stocks fell, the money paid
the figure quoted, Henshaw could
profit by the difference between the
current price and that which he paid.
In case Garter q Hamilton did not
have the stock to sell at the time 1t
was called for, they either had to buy
the stock on the Exchange or pay the
profit.
Henshaw then tried to get control of
the visible supply of shares This done
he could make the price whatever he
wanted, and force Carter a. Hamilton
to purchase the stock at his own price,

capped billow with an upward toss of
her bows, sometimes showing her
nose deep into the green seas, send
ing ponderous cascades laundering
down from her forecastle head, food
ing the main deck to the cabin aft.
Sometimes the forecastle, an iron
house on deck, would be entirely sub
merged, and then the men of the
watch below, who lay in upper hunks,
could behold the sea through the plate
grass portfolios, as you see in an
aquarium, casting sickly green light
over their haggard faces and giving
them a death-like pallor. With a
gurgling roar the water would drop
and spread aft, and good, wholesome
light of day come in again.
Aft on the poop We're gathered the
officers and the men of the watch on
deck, a dozen oilskinned figures
clutchtng the lifelines rugged from rail
to rail. Thus they stood, four hours
at a time, drenched, gazing stolidly
at the whirl of spray and scud about
them, with nothing to do, only to
stand by. The man at the wheel was
dashed to his post; his duty it was to
keep the helm jambed hard over. Such
is the sailors school of physical en-
durance.
One bell struck-on the poop. Even
that old martinez, the skipper, would
expect no man to strike it ford, for
the bell on the forecastle head clangs
sullenly at intervals in low throaty
notes, as the roaring torrents pour
over it. Bad enough it is for the
man to dodge ford in the first lull to
the lee door of the forecastle, to jerk
those drowsy fellows of the other
watch out of their few hours of slum-
Der.
Hoo, ho-o-oo, ho-ooo. all hands
ahoy! Awake, ye sleepers! One bell!"
With sleepy yawns and drawing
curses, the men drop out of their
hunks to their chests, and slowly, re-

But the odds were against him. Fur
Their and further they drifted away
from him, catching only an occasional
glimpse of his naked shoulders as he
mounted the seas and toppled over
their crests. The skipper had brought
up the log line and tried to heaVe the
metal fan with it's coil of thin cord,
but, strong of arm as he was, it went
not even one-third of the distance.
He threw it down on deck and turned
away.

selves under the softest, warmest cover
they had ever known, they fell asleep
again.
When Kibo and Kroto again awoke,
the hen was gone; but there beside
them lay a white thing that looked
something like the rubber ball with
which they had sometimes played with
I<ibo snlelled it and pushed it around
with his pink nose; and Kroto klcKeo
it with his forepaws. Then Kibo Jump
ed on it, and-smash! went the shell.
Two more amazed little puppies
never were seen; for there was that
ball all smashed flat, and out OF 1t ran
uueer-looking stuff.
Kibo thought that perhaus it might
be good to eat, so he Tapped up a
mouthful He found it so delicious
that he began to eat eagerly, and so
did Kroto. Truly, it was the best food
that they ever had tasted.
Every day the hen came and laid
an egg, and every day Kibo and kroto
had q. feast. After awhile they began
searching the barn for more eggs 10

1t was some time before the pup
pies master found what mischief they
were I'D to.
Dear mel" he said, this will never
do. If I don't break them of this
habit now they'll eat up all the eggs
on the farm when they get little big
ger"
So he tried to stop their egg-eating
by whipping them; but what was a
whipping compared with the joy OF
eating fresh eggs?
Finally their master hit upon a new
plan. He took an egg in secret and
carefully broke out piece of shell.
Then into the egg he stirred some
cayenne pepper. He did not like to do
this, for he was kind-hearted; but he
knew he must break the puppies OF
their bad habit.
Then he pasted a piece of white pa
per over this hole, and put the egg In
the puppies' box. Kibo and Kroto
made a dive for it, broke it quickly,
and began eating greedily; and then

the log line. They might as we'll have
spared their efforts, he heard nothing
from them. Still, they saw him plain
ly now, saw his white face, his clench-
ed Jaws, his powerful arms beating
the waves. BY this time he had freed
himself of all his clothes. But ex-
cept that he kept himself up. he was
helpless; like a block of wood he was
whirled about and tossed up and down
ground by the waves as though they
were indeed chewing we'll before swal-

Then he suddenly disappeared. For
five minutes the men stood, still
clutching the rail. Instinctively they
bowed their heads, as men do in the
presence Of death.
There came lull. Again the decks
were clear.

mate, get ford and turn in"
The watch just relieved moved with
difficulty down to leeward and pre-

there to snatch a few hours rest.

the naked form of man, his arms
outstretched, mouth agape, eyes star

of the storm, wrapped in a smother of
froth and spray. They caught just
that one glimpse-then came the
crash-again the decks were flooded.
Fortunately all had gained some
hold, and when the waters subsidized
none was missing. In the pumphole,
by the ntainmast they found the
naked, unconscious, but still living
body of their lost shipmate, washed
aboard by the reflux. The sea had
given up it's prey.
