SEEN AT THE FIESTAS.
A Moral and Social Disgrace That
Should be Remedied.

A few of the young girls of Ell Paso
must have made up their mind to have
a good time Christmas and Sunday re-
eardless of reputation or future con-
sequences. They threw themselves
right in the breach at the Juarez ies-
tas and pambled to their hearts con-
tent, Some of them had escorts that 1t
was questionable whether it was proper
for them to go with: while others were
there without any escort, but they
were there just the same and mixed
with the crowd and shouldered up to
the gambling tables with pimps, pick
pockets and prostitutes. They showed
the same interest in the betting that
their less reputable CO bettors did and
it would have been hard for stranger
to tell which of the four had the best
reputation. Other girls, school girls,
young and easily Influenced were there
without escort or protection, two of
them in particular were met as they
alighted from their wheels by two tin
horn gamblers and bunco men. and
were escorted through the crowd ard
were then led away by the same two
unexpectedly to tn err ruiu-apd this
too because the girls parents had not
raised them right and the girls were
really too young to know the conse-
quences of their Illicit tryst. Two
OouOt yOunS gins, VI ASoPSSeooAS pa
ents. rode up to the front of the large
gambling hall, got off their wheels and
deliberately walked into the large
filed With a seething mass Of
mixed humanity and elbowed and
pushed their way through the crowd
to the gambling tables, but whether
they gambled or not this reporter can
not say. 1t is safe to say that these
two girls parents did not know that
they were there and if they should fird
it out they would feel strongly the dis
grace that has been cast upon them.
Other girls were there, but they had
escorts and these were somewhat pro-
tected from the shafts of criticism that
was directed at them by people who
have been around gambling houses
ever since they reached manhood and
are old stagers in the way of Sin. 1t is
now q we'll known fact that in several
instances men have made appointments
to meet girls on the other side OF the
river. Some of these appointments
have been made by young men while
others have been made by married
men. These appointments have been
filled and what the result will be time
will only tell 1t is little tough that
a newspaper has to tell these things,
but they are facts and may probably
open the eyes of society, and result in
a moral crusade against the continue
ton of such disgraceful and ruinous
acts. In telling these things it may be
we'll to cav that the 'half has not been

What Boys Should Learn.

The Episcopal Refo,aer enu.nerates
eight points f, r boys TO learn:
Not to tease girls, or boys smaller
than themselves.
Not to take the easiest chair in the
room, put it in the pleasantest place,
and forget TO offer it TO mother when
she comes to sit down.
TO treat the mother as politely as if
she were strange lady who did not
spend her life in their service.
To be kind and helpful to their sis
tiers as they expect their sisters to be
to them.
10 make their friends among good
boys.
10 take pride in being a gentleman
at home
To take their mothers into theil
confidence if they do anything wrong;
and, above all, never to lie about any.
thing they have done.
TO make up their minds not to learn
| to smoke or drink, remembering thai
these things cannot be unlearned, and
that they are terrible drawbacks to
good men, but thought to be necessl
ties TO some bad ones.

While this song has but little Of the
genuine divine touch of an Alfred
Austin about it, one thing is certain,
i, is very sweet and soothing melody
when the darkies sing it with all the
blending parts, tenor, bass and bari
tone.
Such are the songs that one hears
on the Suwanee River in these modern
days Of progress and material develop
men,. Florida is great field for The
promoter ct new enterprises now, and
the world OF song among the darkles
is pretty closely with the new indus
trial world OF development which such
men as Mr.. H. B. Plant, the railroad
and steamship magnale, adorn. In
der the touch of such mems wands
Florida is rapidly becoming State OF
railroads, manufactures, and agrlcul-

atmosphere of sentiment and song Is
rising like MIST from the resong Of the

MOTHER.
BY IDA COLE

How sweet The accents of that tender word
Upon the dewy lip of infancy.
1t strikes all vibrant on the deepest chord
OF human hearts quick ming to melody
Whate er the tongue-a savage language
crude,
Patois, or polished language of our age.
The appellation which greets motherhood
Like blessed balm with bit rest grief as
Suage.
Whisper it to the hero on the field,
And mark the soft ming of his blazing
eye;
Speak it to him who did his honor yield.
His mouth will droop repentant, wist-
fully;
Repeat it to the king, cen he will earn
To change for foOt5tool his canop led
throne;
Unto the orphan breathe it, he Will turn
His eyes to where q 5aintly form has
flown.
The feel of childish hands upon the breast,
The tearwet lash, the smile of purity,
The roseleaf check our saddened lips have
pressed,
Merge; bud in bloom, to rich maturity.
But, all, there is spell mystic name
That bridges DER the years and tempers
fate,
The incense born of loves holiest flame,
And deeds unseltiiSh mothers immediate;
