What Is believed to be a women
suicide club has been raided by the
police at Terida, Spain. Recently
young lady named Isabel Rodriguez
belonging to well-to-do family, was
found wandering about the streets at
night in state of great excitement.
When questioned by policeman she
stated that she had drawn number
at the club which according 10 the
rules bound her to commit suicide
she added that at the last moment her
courage failed her. Acting on this III

ises used as Il club house. They found
il was attended by we'll dressed ladies,
who met ostensibly for social purposes.
An attempt is being made by the au-
thorities to hush up the affair pending
further inquiries.

Dance halls have been banish ed from Fl Paso forever, says the Tines Last night they were in darkness and as silent as a banquet hall de- serted. The music and loud voices of reverly that floated out on the night from those gilded halls of sinful pleasure were hushed. The painted faces. gaudily attired caricatures on Gods noblest creation; the dance hall girls who danced for beer and com mission. must seek other occupations. And the young men of the city who frequented the dance halls to ming,e in social intercourse with shameless wantons. drunken loafers and crimi- nals were last night seeking amuse- ment at legitimate resorts.
 Some weeks ago when the Times brought to the attention of Mayor Morehead the injury the dance halls were doing to the youths of the city the Mayor promised to investigate the matter and see that the places were closed. He did investigate and in the meantime the glamour for the closing of the dance grew stronger each day.
 week ago Mayor Morehead de- ciGed that the dance halls should be closed and gave Chief Wooten in structions to that effect But the dance hall proprietors had also ar. rived at the conclusion that Fl Paso had passed beyond the dance hall stage and so last night without wait ing for instructions from the police they closed their halls and hung out cards announcing that there was nothing doing"
 Last night for the first time in the history of this city there was not single dance hall running on a week day night And even the policemen felt that the closing of the halls puri- ed the atmosphere of the city and made their work lighter.
 It was reported yesterday that four teen suits on liquor dealers bonds against dance halls were being pre- pared. But it is not likely now that these suits will be filed. as the dance hall proprietors have closed and had their bonds cancelled.
 The Famous and Sambrano's hand some places on Utah street were the principal dance halls of the city and they were generally crowded every night by motley assemblages of men, women and boys. The men for the most part belonged to the worthless and criminal class; the boys-youths just approaching manhood-belonged to every class pickpockets. burglars. amateur band men. clerks, young me chanics and sons of well-.o-do parents The women all belonged to one class the very lowest.
 On his return from California few days ago Mayor Morehead learned that arrangements were being made to open up a negro dance hall and vaudeville theater in the city, and he promptly issued orders to stop the new enterprise.
 Yesterday a report was going the rounds that the Mayor had given his consent for the new dive to open but the Times can state positively there is no truth in the report. The Maroy's order that the thing be stopped at Its beginning will be made to stick by the police.

BUSINESS MANS LEXICON--By Allan Easton

I've got to fight. A mule for example
Is not patient. but obstinate.
You can cuss him till you've moth
ing but holy thoughts left in you to
draw on and you can lay the whip on
him till you're tired and ne will just
look grieved, but all the time that
mule will be waiting for you and add
ing compound eussedneSs to your ac-
count, and practicing fancy kicks in
his stall after dark. Men are all more
or less like animals and require to be
properly handled. When you've got an
uncertain cow it's all very fine to tie
a figure eight in her tail il you're not
thirsty and it's excitement you're
after. But if you want peace and
her milk you will naturally approach
her gently. Even when a man has
learned the details of his trade he
knows only one-eighth of his bust
ness, the other seven-eighths and the
most important seven-eighths has to do
with the study of human nature.
There isn't any such thing as being
your own boss in this world, unless
you're a tramp, and then there's the
constable. A good many young fell
lows envy their boss because they
think he can do as he pleases. AS a mat
ter of fact, he's the only man in the
establishment who can't. An employe
has only to answer to the manager, but
the manager has just as many bosses
as he has people under him.. and they
ali keep him under inspection. Indi-
viduals can't be properly worked by
general rules; every man il a special
case and needs special treatment.
Every man requires q certain
amount Of amusement, but the supply
is limited. For example, some get
their fun by going fishing most OF the
time, making money the rest. Some
get ii making money most Of the time
and going fishing the rest. You can
take your choice, but remember, the
more sport the less money. The most
important step in a mans life is mar
riage, and when young fellow takes
that step on a small salary it is a
proof that he requires a keeper
more than a wife. After all, there is
no fool like young fool. because he's
got long time to remain one. AL
though Q young fellow will consult his
friends about buying a horse he's
cocksure of himself when it comes to
picking a wife. Marriages may be
made in heaven, but most engage

farmhouse ten miles from a railway
would put forth her best energies IL
she only were in the midst of the gold
en- opportunities of the city. But the
city man who has fallen behind the
procession says TO himself: "Oh, if I
could only get out into the country
where there are not so many appli-
cants for every job. Then could
amount to something, but there is no
show for me in this crowded place"
The Door man says: How easy it
would be to live a virtuous and useful
life If ] were rich" While the man of
wealth sigbs: "Oh. for a little home
and fewer cares. Then 1 might lead a.
truer, simpler life"
Moreover, we are all more or less
under the fascination of the modern
ideas of the function Of the state. We
are disposed to appeal to the city or
the national Government to do things
for us. We are enamored with the
thought of liberal, paternalistic pub
lie policy by means of which we may
get the snow shoveled off our side
walks and our houses lighted and
warmed without costing US a cent.
Against both Of these ideas-that of
shifting responsibility on fate and that
of depending on the state or on some
beautiful, socialistic status-this clear
cut little phrase rings out sharp pro-
test. There is as much opportunity and
as great call In modern life for the

individual as ever before in the
worlds history. Individual initiative
individual responsibility, individual
burden-bearing and duty-doing are
the things to emphasize to-day. Every
man is still the architect of his own
fortune, and in the truest sense of the
word the captain of his own industry
1t is a glorious thought to keen in
mind during these opening days of the
new year. A plain, blunt farmer
came up to Daniel Webster after one
Of his great speeches and said: "Dan-
iel, you haven't done your best vet ;,
None of us has yet displayed ali his
mettle. None of us has been as faith
full to routine duty as punctuaI in his
engagements, as thorough in meth
DDS, as cheerful in his demeanor- as
useful in his church or his comnunity
as he yet may be. 1t is ''up to him,
in these and other particulars this
coming year.
And maybe some men need inst tbs
impetus of this phrase to carry them
over the line into the sphere of the life
which we call moral and Christian A
friend, a schoolmate, a Sunday-schooj
teacher, a pastor, may take you by tn
hand to the point where you gathe,.
up oil your energies and unreseryedIv
commit yourself to the best that has
been revealed to you of God and duty.
But You, and you only, must take the
final step.
