plenty of girls with small, and often
large, fortunes. and the blend of Amer
lean and Mexican blood commends it.

crossing the race with a vigorous
stock like the Americans. We need
fresh blood, and my experience shows
that Americans and Mexicans marry
ing have fine children, with the sweet
ness and ease Of the Latin and the
sound sense and push of the North
erner."
There are some instances OF this
blending Of the two races, and as time
goes on it will be more frequent. to
the benefit of Mexico, and serving as
guarantee of peace and concord.
