FRIENDSHIPS DANGERS.
Too Often Intimacy Results In Less
ening of Courtesies.


It is quite extraordinary how very
soon after people become intimate with
each either they drop all the courtesies
which have hitherto graced their frieni-
ship, and behave with a disregard of
each others feelings which very often
leads to a complete rupture. If you
wish to like people, do not know them
toe we'll, is trite saying, and it inn
plies besides our becoming aware of the
weak points in a persons character;
also, that intimacy has its dangers as
well as its pleasures if the barriers
which first surround our intercourse are
congress be memorialized to ccmpen-
mind much too often, and express an
adverse opinion freely, quite forgetting
that the little rift within the lutte"
may occur before we are aware and
broken down. We begin to speak our
what we have done thoughtlessly
We may regret bitterly. Some
years ago writer put the
matter in the following way: Zone
OF the most common, and no less
one of the most irritating, peculiarities
Of the growth of friendship is the cor
responding and consequent growth of
dlscourtesy which attends IT. People
who, as mere acquaintance, were civil
enough to each other become, after
very short progress toward intimacy,
rude to degree hardly credible in peo-
pie of any prefens(onG to good breesling
OF course, We do not mean here simply
the ordinary waving of formalities,
but downright disregard Of civilities,
wanton ignoring of personal tastes and
pecuiarities, and the indulgence. in ma
tive rudeneeS and sedfiShness. OF course,
to one punctiiious from innate refine
mont and from genuine kindness of
feeling, this breach of the decencies of
friendship is not to be expected; but
friendship with too many people means
essentially a. demand for the tolerance
of foibles and of selfshness, the very eX-
istence of which is Incompatible with
any high ideal of friendship. Friend
ship and forgiveness are too often made
syncnomous terms, and there are few
of us too noble not some times, uncon-
Sciously, to presume upon the patience
of those whom we honor with eur re-
gard in a way which our mere acquain-
tancets would inevitably resent with a
vigor which would go far toward bring
ing US back to the ways of polteness.
The true friend is not he who makes
of friendship an excuse for greater lax
ity in matters of gentleness and cour-
tesy, but who finds in il a call to more
exquisite courtesy, more careful
thoughtfulness, more absolute and
se5f-denial Who does not fall
into the stupid blunder of supposing
that informality means the disregard
of the principles which underie polite
ness, and who never commits the selfish
error of assuming insolence and impro-
priety excusable toward those we love?
Every one can make the application of
the principle, if he is hone.s to him
self; if not, certainly to his neighbors;
and making the application he will do
Well if he add thereto the resolution

DEADLY AvALANCHES.

The mountains are full of snow It
fell so heavily and piled up so rapidly
that it had no time to pack-to settle
and gain a firm hold upon the slopes.
Great banks Of snow oyerhang the
canyons and ravines everywhere. The
mountain towns, nesting at the foot
Of some lofty peak or range are in
constant peril. The mining camps To-
Gated in the narrow gulches, as most
of those in Colorado are, can hardly
hope to escape the dreaded avalanche
this winter.
Some of them have been buried al
ready. Just how many cabins are
destroyed or lives lost by reason of
snowslides viii not be known before
spring. Near Silver Plume, Colo, the
other day twenty -four people were
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-02-14

buried beneath a mass of snow that
rushed upon them from above without
a moments warning. A few have been
rescued, but more than half the number
caught in the slide are dead.
A little sunshine will serve 20 take
the props from under a mass and be-
comes potency for human beings in
the valley below. Sometimes the fall
of an icicle or the tread of wild beast
will start the sudden storm. A snow
ball beginning no larger than a marble
may start rolling down the hillside
gathering weight and force as the big
balls do from which school boys make
men and forts. Presently it is a weight
of hundreds of tons. Great rocks and
trees are pressed into its service, and
it crashes down the mountain, leaving
desolation in its wake and carrying
death end ruin to all below.
1t isn't hard TO start a storm. 1t
isn't any trick at all to start a snow
slide; a coyote can do it and enjoy
the death scene that it makes.
The danger of snowslides increases
as timber is destroyed. People ought
to be compelled to remove their habi-
tations from obviously dangerous
spots to safer places.
The erection of defenses has been
discussed. but it hardly seems practi-
cable. The expense would be enor-
nous, although not so large as the loss
that is entailed for lack of precaution-
airy means, but no one who has wit
messed the awful force of a mountain
avalanche would have the hardihood
to go about building a brake to ward
one off

SYMPATHY FOR JUDGE KING.

1t was a graceful thing for the joint
assembly to dissolve after IL formal
compliance with the law yesterday. For
there was mourning in the home of one
of the distinguished gentlemen who are
candidates before the legislature. Death
had taken from Judge and Mrs. King
a little daughter, and the tiny form was
laid to rest under the snow yesterday.
The sympathy of every member OF the
assembly went out to the stricken par
ents. and it was fitting that partisan
strife should be suspended, that the
voice OF fractional contention should be
hushed a little while. That is how the
people of the city and the country felt
about it. and it was the viii and act
of the joint assembly. 1t was & grace

TROUBLE COMES FROM A KISS

(Puck.)
A soap bubble scared in the air one noon,
A bright and beauteous bubble
1t scared and scared, like a gay balloon.
Until it spied its double.
They met, they kissed-alasi oh, deari
Too soon they tasted trouble:
They lost their cheer and dropped a tear,
And neither was bubbles
But what should a gay bubble do,
Its beauteous double spying?
Did the double sue for a kiss or two.
Is the trouble worth denying?
For its heart must break a bubble knows
A-kissing or assigning;
So suppose those bubbles chose
The sweetest way of dying.

of other kinds. AS a result of a

have analizcd; also a formation of
rock, very soft substance of a
deep black color, species of
rock never seen here before; he
also has some very fine specimens
of iron ore, and rock resembling
in every respect, phosphate. If
we have mineral deposits in Har.

String Town were up in arms Sat.
urday night. They had it among
themselves that a mob was being
organized for the purpose of deal
ing out mob violence to one of
their color, whom they were pro.
posing to protect. This lie origi.
mated among themselves and this
poor unfortunate, superstitious
race were scared to arms. Several
deserted their homes and spent
the night with their friends in New
Town. Why they were expecting
a mob is this, few nights previous
at negro gathering a few white
men from out in the country were
present, both white and black be.
ing intoxicated a row which result.
ed in a general knOck-dOwn ensued
in which one of the white parties
was severely hurt. Over this their

The Sanitary Condition of Savan.
nah-A Matter Of Serious
Nnnpnrn
Concern.

For many weeks the Courier has
been trying TO awaken the Board
of Health, and the citizens of Saw
annah, in general, to the filthy
condition of the town, urging them
to clean up. Now, some one il to
blame for the town remaining in
its filthy condition. In the first
place, the Board of Health is not
complying with the requirements
of the law governing this impor.
tant matter. The Board of Health
has it in its power to institute a
general cleaning up. If, in it's
opinion, the rottening filth and
loathsome privies in the central
part of town threatens the health
of the people of the town, they
are empowered with authority by
our state health laws to have
such places thoroughly cleaned
up, and if they neglect to look
after this matter they are not
complying with the law governing
such officials. The deplorable
filthy condition of the town is a
matter of serious concern, and
the effects of it will be seen later
on if something is not done. AS a
citizen of the town, we are ready
to contribute orr part towards the
cleaning up of the town. In it's
present condition, the town is a
"laughing stock" for strangers
who come here. Will our people
not do sOmethings
