a Mexican paper a short time ago
asked the question "Why Americans
and Mexicans do not Intern AIRY
The question is too hard for me to an
swer, but | will venture few OF the
causes: One is the difference in IAN
guage another is the style of cCurtShlp:
an American does not like to stand out
in the cold, dreary street for two years
before he can even speak to the girl ne
is enamored with, and then after be
does speak, wait another year under
her window late at night for the pur-
pose of hearing her come out and
telling him Good Night | am going to
bed" That kind of cOurtship IS too
cold for the average American ana MS
heart strings become chilled before he
reaches the marrying point. There Is
also another reason, and that Is that II
an American marries in this country
he becomes a Mexican citizen. unless
he announces himself at the cere mony
This an American don't like to do. Tor
they are the most clanish people GA
earth, especially when they reside in a
foreign country. This is evidenced
from the fact that out of an American
population of from %, 900 to 3O,OOO now
in Mexico only p Or 30 of them have
become Mexican citizens. This pleases
the Mexican government who like to
but do not want them to become
naturalIzed citizens, as the government
Is well aware that just as soon as the
American becomes a citizen he Will
want a finger in running this govern
ment and will cause more or less
trouble in u political way. This
scheme also suits the Americans and
they have less trouble with the govern
ment than any other nationality.
These are some OF the reasons why the
Americans and Mexicaus do not inter
marry, but [ think that the main rea-
sons is that most OF the msn thai come
here have left some girl behind who is
''all the world to him" and that WIN
they are able they return to the states
and marry her, instead of some dark
eyeG senorita who Is a native OF the
country in which they reside.
DEATH OF SEVERAL RACE HORSES.
There are some very pretty races
being given at the Indianil!a race track
this season. but many of the horse m
VINO have brought their horses down
from the states have met with hard
luck. Mr.. Skaggs, who brought down
a string of racers from Texas, has lost
two of his best horses by death: Mr.. +.
M. Jones, of Santa Fe, whom Sheriff
Simmons attached when he passed
through Ell paso on his way down here,
also lost good horse last week named
''COrOnet." These were all good
horses and presented u large sum of
money.
Ell PASOANS IN MEXICO.
There are many FL Pasoaus here and
they all seem TO be doing very well in
business. George King and son are
doing well and have just secured con-
tract for the erection of a market house
in Guadalajara; tkey have about finish
ed the WORK on the large theatre at
Zacatecas and will turn It over to the
state authorities next month. The
Detwillers are also doing well in mining
and contracting. The w. @. Walz Co.
is doing good business in the curiosity
and japanese good-slinc, which is being
well managed by Mr.. Hagadorn. Theo.
Eggers is in the saloon business and IS
apparently Going well. Jim Edwards
is connected with big mining company
at Ell Orc and seems to be satisfied as
he has just taken unto himself a wife.
There are many others too numerous to
mention; l will tell about them at some
other time. AdiOs
