Americans In Mexico.

Baron Straus said that American
women were so popular in Mexico
that it interfered with the wheels of
justice in that republic. 1.-THE Amer
lean woman he said, Ego about
Mexico as they would in this country,
while the Mexican women are Gagged
up like birds. The only way to make
love to them is to stand off some one
hundred yards and stare.
THE pretty senorita sits in her open
window and you can only look at her.
There is one chance in a hundredof
getting an opportunity to speak to
one while she is in church, but that
is the only place. Last summer a
New York merchant and his beauti-
fnl daughter stopped for a few days
in the little town where l was sojourn-
ing. The young lady was one of the
handsomest that | have ever seen
light hair, eyes like bits of heavens
blue, classic form, and all that was
lovely. Well, you can imagine what
a stir she created among the young
Mexieans, who are held so far away
from the native women.
1.-THE son of a wealthy planter used
to stand for hours opposite the win
dow of this American girl. One day
the father went to the City OF Mexico,
leaving the daughter unattended for
a few hours. The young lady walked
to the hotel from the station and was
followed by the Mexican adlnirer.
AS she was nearly home the young
fellow rushed up to her, and implant-
ing a kiss upon her forehead ran away
for dear life.
when the father came home there
was a little excitement. He had the
young fellow arrested and the next
day he was brought before the Judge,
who gravely asked what the charge
was.
"'Assaulting a woman spoke up
the New Yorker.
What did the prisoner dor
HE ran up to my daughter on the
street and kissed her.
He kissed this lovely young lady?
asked the judge, as he left his bench
and carefully scrutinized the fair
American.
Yes, SIR"
Well, who w~ouldnit?' remarked
the judge, as he left the court room.
And would you believe that was all
the satisfaction the New Yorker could
get in Mexico. ~ Chicago Herald.

were invited to dine at the palace
of the Governor General in
Havana. In the evening a
ball was given which was attended
by the beauty of the city. Among
the senoritas was one lady who stood
conyersing with the American gener-
ais wife. She was superbly dressed
and carried a marvellous fan which
had descended to her from her great
grandmother. 1t was a costly affair
of carving, lace and diamonds. Mrs.
Grant admired it, upon which the
Spanish lady at once handed it to her
with the usual remark:-'1t is yours,
madame, with the greatest felicity.
Do me the great favor to possess your
self of it." Mrs. Grant was delighted;
she warmly thanked the lady and kept
the fan, nor would the dismayed
senorita, who had lost an heirloom,
permit the mistake to be announced.

What beauty lures them on through
