WHAT MATTERS TT?

What matters iL if joy or grief should fall into our portion? If happiness is only brief.
 As fleeting IS misfortune. At any rate the Sclf-same fate Stands at the verge before us lis but a little while to wait,
 His shadow settles OCT us. lis just as well to wear smile And all life's tempests weather, UntrOubled. In a little while We'll all be dead together. What matters it? A few days
 more,
 The chapter may be ended. Across Oblivion's soundless shore Our dreams will all be blended. Howe'er we seek to mend our lot, In spite of our endeavor, We age, we die, and are forgot Forever and forever. 'Tis just as we'll to be content, Nor. seek to break the tether That binds us. When the years
 are spent,
 We'll all be dead together. What matters it9 For when we
 go >... 70 New men will take our places; And. in a million years or so = Will come new lands and races. And when, within some later time; '!, '''.'',, ." The earth dies, dropping sun
 ward,
 From out the womb of the sub .New worlds will hasten onward. A moment in eternity,
 Our life is but feather Blown from us. Through the
 long to-be z We'll all be dead together. What matters it2 For at the best Soon ceases Joy or sorrow; or to a asbHkRhssr tomorrow.

LAUNCH OWNERS
 ARE CONCERNED
Brighton Will Make Trips to Port Wells for Small
 Subsidy

The owners of launches which make Valdez their home port are concerned in getting a regular service established between Val dcz and Port Wells. At present there is not sufficient business to warrant launch making regular trips but the owners realize that if the business is once directed to other channels it will be difficult to make Valdez the headquarters of the promising new mining sec ton.
 Capt. Stamey, of the Brighton, has offered to place his launch on the run if he is guaranteed even half of the expense of operating the boat. In talking to a Pros pector reporter Capt. Stamcy said: "I think something should be done to put on q regular ser vice. It is carly yet but if we wait others will be ill ahead of us. l believe there will be bus mess enough for all of us in a short time, but at present we are Justified in making only occa- Slona' trips. If the chamber of rnInmcrcr would guarantee me SEQ per trip would be willing to stand for the loss if 1 could not get other business enough to make expenses. That is about half the cost of the gasoline used on the trip.
 Just as soon as the season op- ems il will not be necessary for any guarantee, but during the next month or six weeks q launch is almost sure to have loss if she makes regular trips. Cor dOva people are substituting the | I'PrOSpcctOr' t0 the extent of $2O per trip and she makes two trips per month. If the same arrange mcnL could be made here l would be willing to run as often as re- quired. Port Wells business is too promising tO overlook ana Valdez business men should make an effort iO get it."

swer every requirement of the wooden
pile formerly used, with none of the
trees fsilings.
The cypress, or any hard wood pile
that may be used for wharf construc.
ton, had to be renewed after so many
years service in the water.
1t is stated, after being thoroughly
tested, that the Burbank piles become
harder and firmer each year in the
water. The action of the water seems
to agree with them.
Almost two dozen of the extra
length concrete piles are now ready
for the completing of this torpedo
wharf station. They are sixty feet
long and sixty piles are needed. Mr.
Burbank is constantly on duty at
Fort Armstrong to see that the con
struction is carried out according to

The fur flew and the fur will fur.
Their fly.
Mrs. J. w. Pickard of Kaimuki this
morning swore out a warrant calling
for the arrest of Charles A. Seville
of Eleventh avenue, Kaimuki, on a
charge that he did maliciously injure
and destroy certain personal property
of hers, to wit, one tabby cat.
The story is sad but interesting.
1t appears that Seville is a chicken
fancier, that is he fancies that his
own chickens belong to him and not
to the itinerant feline which may
chance to prowl around in the still
watches of the night.
Pei. Chickens had been going pretty fast
with Seville, He suspected cats and
lay in wait with small-bore rife from
9 p. m. till 4 a. m one night, shelter
ing himself behind his hen.house.
In the sweet o, nlf cat happened

from the club or had designs on the
hen-house Seville did not stop to con-

He drew a deadly bead and pussy

marks of it's teeth being distinctly
discernible.

deed in the shade of a sheltering man.

sweet sleep of the avenged.
At breakfast next morning pussy
llins failed to show up for it's regular
ration of the Carnation cream and
Mrs. Packard smelt a rat, which, it is
safe to say, she wouldn't have done
had the cat been alive and on the
job
She went on tour of investigation
and looking over the fence which
divided her property from Seville'3
spied the freshly disturbed earth
marking the grave of her beloved tit
tums.
With Mrs Packard thought is ac-
ton. Summoning q police officer to
protect her should resistance be Of
fered she entered the Seville yard
and eXhumed the body of the cat,
which, fortunately, was still fresh, not
withstanding the warm weather.
Having identified her pet and given
it decent burial Mrs. Pickard journey
ed to town and obtained the warrant
aforementioned.
Judge Monsarrat will listen to the
details of the tragedy in the police
court tomorrow morning and a large
delegation of cat and chicken fanciers
will undoubtedly be in attendance to
watch the progress of the case.
