are two saloons, one on each side Of the
frontier. A man buys ten cent drink OF
whiskey at the American saloon and pays
for it with an American silver dollar, re-
ceiving Mexican silver dollar as change
! With this he crosses the border. goes into
the Mexican saloon for ten cent drinl
and receives an American dollar as ex
change. 1t is evident that the limit of hi:
purchasing power is the length of time
that he can navigate between the two sa
looms. He finally wakes up with bat
headache and the American dollar will
which he started Who paid for the wills
key?
