MEXICAN PoIlTENEss
As Displayed Every Day at Any OF th
Rail-osd Stations.


Rail-osd Sta ations.
Three Mexicans, apparently of the
middle class. enter railway car In the
interior. two To make o journey and a
friend to see them off. After lively
chat Of few moments, thinking the
car about to start. they hug and pat
each other on the back, say their fare
wells, and the friend rushes for the
door, keeping up lively chat on the
way out. In about half n minute. see
ing that the car does not start, he re-
turns and greets the two prospective
travellers with as much pleasure as
though they had just returned from a
journey instead Of being about to make
one. Suddenly he appears to think that
some loose change might be useful to
them on their journey; SO thrusts his
hand down in his pocket and secures
seyera. silver dollars, which he offers
to them. anG which they loudly protest
against receiving. He, however, insists,
and. forcing it into their hands, retreats
for the docc for fear they will thrust
1t back upon him, all the while keeping
up the lively chat. In about another
minute, seeing the car does not yet
start. he opens the door and comes in,
talking as lively as ever, ana his COM
panions are very glad to see him, vel
coming him very effusively, and again
shaking hands and saying good-by as
he departs for the outside. On the
friends fourth entrance and departure
the two travellers follow to the platform
and stand chatting, laughing and say
ing more farewells until the train
starts, and they are compelled to separ-
ate, to their great mutual regret, and
with expressions of hope that they will
soon meet again. United States people
would say, so long, old boy; take good
care Of yourself" just once and be gone.
The train might stand there half an
hour, but the departing friend would
not come back for a second farewell.
