HAVE OWN DOMESTIC COURT

The suggestion that there should be a "grumbleps' day. a day on which everyone should air their grievances and tben forget them for the rest of tlee year, is not the novelty some peo- pie seem to think. Two years ago, writes correspondent, a young mar ried couple anticipated the suggestion by establishing half yearly com plaints courts
 On the selected day both husband and wife told each other frankly Of the faults found fn the previous six months Usually the husband goes to the dock" first, while the wife submits her indictment. If he has been unduly forgetful, if he has shown a tendency to prefer his club to his wife and home, if he seems selfish or untidy or keeps too tight a hand upon the purse strings, the charges are put before him and are argued out. When he is convinced, or has shown the charge is due to misunderstanding the subject drops Then the wife has to undergo her cross examination.
 The practice, it is said, has pre- vented many faults and grievances from becoming chronic and leading to serious trouble.

enthusiastic about life that he will forget the years"
 Mrs. Winship left school at the age of 16 to become a teacher in a little log school house. Two years later she was married to John J. Davis. The young couple knew the joy of working for unpopular causes, be- coming active in the abolition move ment and later on in prohibition and equal suffrage. Mir. Davis became prominent in Illinois politics and was with his wife an ardent admirer of Abraham Lincoln. At the outbreak of the Civil war MT. Davis raised company after company, was made colonel of his regiment and died of wounds received in Tennessee.
 In 1871 Mrs. Davis became the wife of Eugene Winship of Racine, Wis consin, and in this city she was es-

 Hal" he said. Seems to me I smell Chatterer down here. What does that mean?
 His nose led him straight to the tree and up. Shadow grinned. He knew perfectly what had happened. "Chatterer missed that jump and had bad fall. I guess it must have shaken him up a little and he won't be able to run so fast thought he. Then he started on as lively as ever. He was enjoying himself. Hedidn't mind that run through the tree tops because he didn't have to hurry any faster than he pleased and because he was sure of good dinner at the end.

 .I won't stand it.''
 How many times John AIdrich had made that remark it would be impos- sible to say. Yet as he reached the corner of the street where he turned to take the car he waved a goodby to the woman standing in the window of the house he had just left. his eyes lifted as if against his will to the tear stained face.
 John Aldrich was not namby pamby sort of a man, yet in the months just past he had canvassed again and again all potential meth ods of delivering himself from his un- comfortable existence and had found them futile.
 He had almost come to believe that there was no escape: that circum- stances were memorable.
 One is prone to think the female of the species is the one with the inn prisoned soul, the one who kicks fu- tilely against the pricking thorns, hunting a modes of escape. But just as often it is the male who, lacking of moral excuse, rather the excuse Of immortality, goes on and on until he reaches the breaking point.
 Ten years before John Aldrich. a bright young electrical engineer. met Marcia Vane. Mrs. Brewster, an aunt of Marcia's, gave a dance. The young engineer was one of the guests He had met Marcia once before. but so causually had the introduction been made that he had not remem- bered her name.
 The greeting she game him was so impersonal that it piqued him. It was as if he meant absolutely nothing to her. Being a man, John Aldrich re- sented this attitude. And as he was rather popular with the girls it reused his interest. It was the old story of the attraction of indifference.
 John made no great effort to ob-

COOKING LESSONS The Right Way to Make Pie

Real, llonest-to- goodness home made piei Nothing much nicer for dessert. And you can make it in your own kitchen and have good luck, if you simply take the proper pains.
 Plain pie crust is made with the following recipe.

Good progress is being made in the construction of the new court house and jail. The building is located in the north end of the courthouse square. When the new building is completed the old buildings on the premises will be torn down. These buildings were built>in 1868. and their removal will be a sanitary measure. The removal of these buildings will also provide more room for lawns about the new building. The new building will be a much better one than was called for in the original plans which were drawn about 10 years ago, and will be ample for the needs of the U. s. Commissioner, the U. S. Deputy Marshal and for jail purposes. The new building will cover the same amount of ground as the old building which was torn down two years ago after being in dis. use for several years. :.

At the last meeting of the City Council, complaints were entered about boys shooting in and about town and two instances were cited where the shot had come danger ously close to some one. It was decided to ask the merchants of Wrangell to give warning, when selling ammunition to minors. that the shooting must not take place in or about town. It is hoped that this warning to the boys will be sufficient but if it fails, offenders will be arrested and taken before the town magis- trate.

Mayor Grant Replies to MT. Berger

Editor Sentinel
 In your issue of May 5 there appeared a communication from MT. William Berger in which he states that he submitted a bid of S1. 40 per thousand feet for the town hauling, and that his con- petitor who bid S1.50 per thous- and was awarded the contract. He further states that once be- fore he bid on the city hauling and that while his bid was $1.70I per thousand the contract was awarded to his competitor at S1.75 per thousand. MT. Berger wants to know why it is that when bids are called for the lowest bidder does not get the job.
 1 wish to call attention to MT. Berger's reference to the hauling contract having once before. been awarded to his competitor at a higher price than he (Berger) had bid. The reason Mir. Berger was not awarded the contract the first time he bid was because there was a string to his bid which rendered it in reality much high CT than that of his competitor. MT. Berger had informed a mem- Der of the council that one dollar would be his minimum charge, which meant that he would not haul any quantity of lumber, no matter how small, for less than one dollar. As every one knows, the most of the towns hauling is in very small quantities on ac- count of it being for street re- pairs. And inasmuch as MT. Berger's competitor was willing to haul at the rate of $1.75 per thousand. regardless of whether he hauled one or two pieces or several full loads, the Council did not consider that Mr. Bergef had submitted the best bid. There was nothing in the bid submitted by MT. Berger this year that would indicate that he would not still refuse to haul any load for less than one dollar.
 MT. Berger's competitor is willing to make a trip to the mill for only one piece of lumber Gin case that is all that is required at the time) and at the end of the month render a bill to the town for the total amount of lumber he has hauled, as shown by the bill from the sawmill to the town. This means that during the year he would make a, great many trips to the sawmill for less than one dollar-often less than fifty cents.
 In view of the foregoing facts do not see how any one could contend that Mir. Berger's bid was the best bid. It is imma- terial to me who does the towns hauling, and my only reason for voting to award the contract to MT. Berger's competitor was in the interest of economy. If the mat ter should come up again under the same circumstances I would again vote to award the hauling contract to the man whose TOTAL charges to the town would be ''-e '' Respectfully,
