Some Resemblance. A little girl in a California public school complained to her teacher that a Mexican boy had struck her. The teacher took Joe, the only Mexican boy in the school, sharply to task for the offense, but the boy denied it. "Mary," said the teacher, "Joe says he didn't strike you." "Oh, no," said Mary, " 'twan't Joe; twuz that tother boy over there," and she pointed to the blackest of negro boys in the school. "But, Mary, that boy isn't a Mexican," Mexi-can," said the teacher. "Well, anyhow," said Mary, "he's very much tanned."
