Texas Joins Mexico, there are two saloons,
one on each side of the frontier. A man
buys a ten-cent drink Of whisky at the
American saloon and pays for 1t with an
American silver dollar, receiving a Next

crosses the border, goes into a Mexican
saloon, hands over the Mexican dollar
for a ten-cent drink and receives an
