thought he would 60 over to Juarez.
On the street he met a finely dressed
young man of pleasing address with
whom he soon picked up an acquaint-
ance, The young man said he was
going over to Juarez too and volunteer
ed to show him the sights.
They started but before reading the
land of the Montezumas the stranger
enticed Gutierrez into q saloon where
a game of poker was in progress. Gu.
tierrez was induced to join in. He got
four kings on the deal but of course
lost. Then the crowd left him poorer
by S2S and ahead that much eXper-
fence.
Gutierrez saw there was something
wrong, but he wenton over to Juarez
and again met the stranger who
had lead him into the game.
Immediately summoning police
man the man he met was conducted be-
fore Mayor Onata who quickly recog-
nized him as an old offender aud one OF
the crowd he had in Jail before for the
same offense.
1t was obviously impossible to punish
him in Mexico for what he had done In
Texas so the mayor Informed him he
would escort him to the middle OF the
bridge and telephone Chief Lockhart
to be there to receive him on bis arrlv-
al. This scared the buncO man and he
agreed to return the money ii they
would release him. This was agreed
to and he telephoned over to his com
parious to straighteu out matters and
save him and everything was at length
fixed.
The officers on this side profess en-
tire ignorance of the affair and de-
clared that all the skin games in the
city have been closed up. 1t was impos-
sible to learn at what saloon the game
was worked. The Juarez officers said
that they did not know the name. OF

Paper In China and Japax,

Rice straw is an important factor in
the manufacture of Japanese machine
made paper. Only when there is a poor
rice crop is wood fiber imported to any
appreciable extent.
Among the most curious things to be
seen in Japan are jackets and trousers OF
strong, handmade paper, with which the
Japanese soldiers were supplied during
the war between Japan and China. The
seams and buttonholes were sewed with
cotton thread.
Chinese handmade papers are made
mostly of rice straw and are colored or
stained on one side by hand-for in
stance, crimson for visiting cards, which
are thin. large, octave sheets; pale red
for bills, yellow sprinkled with gold or
green for wrapping goods, orange for
wedding fnery. etc. Large quantities
are consumed in the principal place of its
manufacture for decorating various
places of worship, which are visited by
Chinese from all over the country, and
considerable quantities are also sent to
the adjoining proyinces.-Journal Of Art.

Mrs. Carr, daughter of the defend
ant, was then put upon the stand She
testified that when she had lived With
her mother and sister in California
they had difficulty in getting any
money from their father. Several
times he had sent drafts to the wit
ness and her sister but the amounts
we're insufficient for their support.
Mr.. Carr further told of CONVERSE
ton she has had with Der father
wherein he told her in
confidence that her moth
err was getting the best of the division
of the community property but he in
tended to fix it so she, Mrs. Moore,
could not get it. Mrs. Carr said that
she had never mentioned this until af-
ter the divorce was granted and set
Element arranged.
This morning the plaintiff in rebuilt
tai called B. F. Hammett to prove the
value of real estate owned by the de-
PENDANT.
Mrs. Moore WAS recalled to the stand
and testified to her relations with her
husband and his attorneys, Patterson
and Buckler, in regard to the divorce
and the subsequent settlement of their
affairs. She claimed she had not been
fairly atreated and this called forth a
proposition from Patterson & Buckler
to set asi6e the agreement and begin
over again. This was declined by
Falvey and Davis for the plaintiff.
The evidence was all in by noon and

HIS DAUGHTER

A New And Interesting Wit
ness In the Divorce Case.
CONFIDENTIAL TALKS
With the Defendant Repeated In
Judge Wdlthdl1'S Court BY
Mrs. Carr Yesterday.

The Moore case continues to dra
out it's weary length in Judge
Walthall's court. The testimony OF
each witness is long and detailed and
at no time has it been possible to ex-
anime more than three day. A
stenographer is being employed to
make verbatim report Of the evil
deuce with view to an appeal and 1t
is probable that no matter what decl-
sion Judge Walthsll may render the
case will be carried to the higher
courts.
When Attorney Willard Patterson
completed his testimony yesterday the
defendant again took the stand, this
time in his own behalf. He repeated
a portion of his former testimony and
went again into the details OF his
property and financial standing. HE
aim was to show that he was worth q
great deal less than the plaintiff
claimed. To prove this be maintained
that his property had greatly
deprecated in value and that his
liabilities which had not been taken

Learning To Shave

Is not difficult task, and is q very
useful and convenient accomplishment.
especially to those who travel, or who
wish to avoid the delays incident
to the barber shop. To shave properly
and neatly two things are essential.
First good soap.-producing q rich,
cream lather, which renders the hair
easy to cut. Second, good razor.
The former is just as essential to good
work ss the latter,-since a good razor
will fail to work unless the face ia
properly prepared by the application
of suitable lather. Williams
Shaving Soaps are especially adapted
for shaving, and will always ensure
satisfactory result. Remember that
these soaps are prepared expressly for
shaving, and are, therefore, essen
TALLY different from the ordinary
soaps which are prepared for cleansing

Il Is writer that THE way Of the trans

path Of the policeman. Night and day, fair

begins. the policeman. like the sentinel,
must 20 on his post. As a rule policemen
are not literary men. Their vocation does
rot conduce to the use of the pen. Their
aspirations tend rather toward a good rec
ord at headquarters and desire TO stand
well in the eyes of their superiors. They
have to deal with a stealthy, hidden.
desperate, and at times, an invisible foe.
Yet every city police force, perhaps. has
its inevitable exception to this general
rule Such an exception must necessarily
