WHO WOULDN'T KISS HERR
An American Father Gets scant Justice
from q Mexican Judge.

Baron Straus says, according TO the Chi
cagO Herald, that American women are so
popular in Mexico that it interieres with
the wheels of justice in that republic.
"The American women, he said, go about
Mexico as they would in this country,
viii e the Mexican women are Gagged up
like birds. The only way to make love to
them is 10 stand off some 100 yards and
stare.
The pretty sehorita sits in her open win
dow and YOU can only look at her. There is
one chance in a hundred of getting an op-
portunity to speak to one while she is IN
church, but that is the only place. Last
summer a New York merchant and his
beautiful daughter stopped for few days
in the little town where | was soiourning.
The young lady was some of the handsomest
that have ever seen-light hair, eyes like
bits of heavens blue, classic form, and ell
that was lovely. Well, you can imagine
what stir she created among the young
Mexicans, who are held so far away from
the native women.
''rhe son OF a wealthy planter used to
stand for hours opposite the window 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
sdmirer. AS che was nearly home the
young fellow rushed up to her and i'm
planting 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.
"'Assauting woman. spoke up the
New Yorker.
"'What did the prisoner do?'
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 wouldn't?' remarked the
Judge. as he left the court room. And

There is little three-year-old girl on

little frock that is 80 dear to herr When
the foliage came out so suddenly in the

The Editors winning Pair.
Galveston News.l

The editor of the Bartlett Democrat is
well fixed. He said last week:
"The Democrat will be gotten out by our
two children, Rosabel and James, aged
fifteen and thirteen years respectively,
during our absence at Corsicana Any
local items handed in to them will be ap-
preciated by the editor"
After he went the young ones said:
During his absence the paper is in
charge of 'us children, and If he don't re-
turn too soon We expect TO make real
live paper out of it. If you owe the con-
Germ anything please call and settle at the
earliest possible moment, as it takes
mony to buy ice cream, soda water and
keep the paper going"
