SATISFACTORY ANNOUNCEMENT

The announcement made by Judge
Brown Yesterday that he proposed to seq
regate the court records as soon as the new
civil code shall have become law, and
that all cases arising in Skagwav and Vi
cinltv shall be filed and made record in
the office of a deputy clerk who shall re-
side at this CITY, will give universal salts
faction.
Heretofore, to commence all action durN
ing the recess of the court wherein the
amount involved is greater than two humid
red and fifty dollars. it has been necessary
to 90 to Sitka. The transportation cons
nections with Stka have been such that
this often DELAYED proceedings to the great
injury of litigants.
Under the new order Of things it will be
as easy to commence an action In the DIS
trict court with unlimited jurisdiction, as
it has heretofore been to commence suit
in Judge Sehlbrede's court
Another advantage that will accrue to
Skagway under the new code is the pro-
vision for two jury terms each year at this
point This with a court always access
ible, will make it possible to speedily ad-
lust litigation. 1t will mark a new era II
the record of Skagwav's advancement.

Mrs. Bowser fully realized that Mr.
Bowser In too good nature was just as
dangerous as Mr.. Bowser In kicking
mood, and she simply replied that she
had no fault to find and called his at
tention to new book she had bought
that day. He was not to be switched
off, however.

"That-that is good of you" replied
Mrs. Bowser as her face flushed with
pleasure and she forgot the peril of
the situation.
ut was case of love, and hope it
will go on to the end There are times
when lose my temper and talk about
divorce and all that nonsense, but you
shouldn't lay 1t up against me-"
Mr.. Bowser's chin quivered, his voice
broke and tears started in his eyes.
The cat made up her mind that torpe-
does were being planted for grand
blow up, and she got down off his knee
and sought shelter under the piano.
Mrs. Bowser said there was nothing to
forgive, and, wiping the tears from her
own eyes, she began talking about the
new cook who had arrived that day.
She had got as far as to say that the
girl appeared to know her duties when
Mr.. Bowser interrupted with
''If / ever do any more kicking
around this house. hope you'll call
In the neighbors to boot me around the
block. 1t isn't the right thing to do.

read of a wife killing her husband
without wondering If he wasn't just
such a mean man as am. So you can
forgive me and give me another
show?'
Mrs. Bowser assured him that she
could and asked him for the latest
news from Manila. He didn't seem to
hear the question, but got up and pass
ed into the parlor and lighted all the
gas Jets. When he returned, he was
bubbling over, and it was minute or
two before he could say:

a useless waste of material. He had
never taken particular notice Of how
the head and arms of his fellow beings
were nailed on, and in working from
photograph he had corrected several
mistakes of the photographer. He had
enlarged the mouth, been generous
with the ears and given the chin
slant on an entirely new line. He had
also improved the eyes to match the
mouth-that Is, one Of them was cock
ed up in surprise and the other drawn
down in a squint. Mrs. Bowser's heart
stood still as she noted all these things
and a dozen more. That crayon was a
token of love, and how could she find
fault with it? She couldn't. She gave
Mr.. Bowser kiss and ran up stairs as
If to hide her coyness. He was calling
1t coyness and chuckling and rubbing
his hands when Davis walked in.

as he looked at the crayon.

you want to get rid of that"
Mrs. Bowser was listening on the
stairs. The cat came creeping In as
Mr.. Bowser stood there and wondered
where the shrapnel shell, would burst.
The clock licked five minutes away in
to eternity, and then Mr.. Bowser
moved. He moved with jump. He
rushed forward and grabbed that cray
on and pulled on 1t until he broke the
wire. Then he raised it on high and
brought it down with a smash and
jumped on 1t again and again. The cat
