LET us not meet a possible new friend
with uncertainty and suspicion just
because ne is new, but give him the
benefit of the doubt, for he may prove
to be the very one we've long been
looking for.
Friendship is almost entirely sub
jective. To have friends one must be
capable of being a friend. And yet
some of the best OF great men have
failed TO understand friendship.
Thoreau says, ITO say man j.
your friend means commonly that he
is not your enemy" This speech may
have a message for somebody, but 90
the apostle of friendship it is meaning
less babble.
Montaigne walls, "Ah, me, my
friendsl there Is no perfect friend.
But this was probably said in epigram.
and so not to be taken seriously.
The nearest approach TO truth in the
matter is perhaps found in Walt Whit
mans lines:
Surely whoever speaks to me in the
right voice, him or her shall | follow"

The World Friendly.

"H l. tact that the Sentimental
Literature of the world is
i composed of poems and es-
says mostly on Friendship"
in no way deters me from expressing
my views on certain aspects of the
World Friendly.
Nor am | daunted by the knowledge
that my opinions and experiences are
largely contrary to those of the rec
ognized Purveyors of Sentiment. For
instance, tradition insists that friend,
to be a real friend, must be loyal, con-
slant and true. Now this is illogical
on the face of it, for loyalty, con-
stancy and truth are innate qualities,
and not TO be acquired for the pur-
poses of friendship. There are plenty
of people in this world who are con-
genitably incapable of the above men
toned virtues, and yet who are most
charming, interesting, amusing and al
together delightful.

mer Lake Resort

An ideal summer resort to be To-
Gated at Pokegama lake has been
planned by number of Twin City
professional and business men. The
resort which will be provided with all
the comforts sought by fishermen and
summer loungers, will be controlled by
an organization which will be known
as the Pokegama Tuxedo association.
Senator Clapp, who has had sum-
mer home at Pokegama for some time,
has been made president of the as
sociation. Col. John F. Stone, veteran
hotel man, is treasurer, and Maj. w.
w. Cooley has been selected as secre-
tary and general manager. Among the
members are Judge Edwin A. Jaggard,
recently elected to the supreme bench;
John E. King, of Red Lake Falls; A. M.
Cleland, general passenger agent of the
Northern Pacific; William Henry Eustis,

WARM WAVE is ON
JACK FROST'S HEELS
BaImier Breezes Are Due to
Arrive in St. Paul
Today

''There is a warm wave following on
the heels of the cold one" says Wealth
er Observer oliver, and it should
strike st. Paul today. 'The present
cold snap is about exhausted and. we
ought to have a respite of a, week
anyway. The track is clear of biz
yards for the present at least and the
warm wave has already reached the
country north of us and is travelling
this way rapidly.
At o'clock last night the wind had
entirely died down and the weather
did not seem quite so sharp.
Yesterday was a light day at the
union station. Arrivals of trains were
few and those getting in carried few
passengers. The fast train on the
Burlington and the Chicago trains of
the Milwaukee reached st. Paul
through the drifts near enough to
schedule to be recognized and the
North Western limited was chalked up
among the early arrivals.
Several of the other roads marked
the probable arrival of their trains as
indefinite, but practically all of them
got in during the day anywhere from
six to sixteen hours late.
All through the territory to the
south of the Twin cities expresses,
1imiteds and other fast trains were
stalled in the drifts during the height
of the storm and in two of the cases
the trains had to be dug out by plow
crews. Late yesterday afternoon the
roads were reported open and business
moving freely.
The damage to telegraph lines was
heavy throughout the storm district.
While communication with Chicago
was not cut off entirely it was badly
hampered and it was late in the day
before the full usefulness of the wires
was restored.
The Northern Pacific was the least
affected by the storm of any of the st.
Paul roads. Trains over that line
might have been approximately on
time had it not been for a wreck out
west which caused some delay.

WOMAN IS BRAVE
Sick Wife Faces Storm to See
Jailed Husband


Through the raging blizzard that
swept the city Tuesday afternoon
sick woman struggled in order to be
at her husbands side in his hour of
need. This woman was Mrs. Ryan,
wife of John Ryan, now locked up in
the county Jail on a charge of highway
robbery.
Mrs Ryan has been confined at
Bethesda hospital for some time and
is still very weak. Hearing that her
husband was about to be tried she
determined to go to him and knowing
it would be impossible to get permis-
sion from the hospital authorities to
make the journey to the Jail during
the storm, she waited her chance and
when the nurses were at dinner hur-
riedly dressed and throwing thin lace
mantilIa over her head started for her
husbands side.
Gasping for breath the plucky little
woman staggered on through the
binding snow, buffeted by the wind
and suffering cruelty from the bitter
cold. But she trudged on until at last
completely tired out she reached the
front steps of the county Jail where
she sank down in a pitiful heap, in
dead faint.
She was carried inside by the Jail
attendants and reStoratives admins
tered and in a few minutes the faithful
woman was crying happily in her hus-
bands arms.
Shortly afterwards a call was re-
ceived at the Jail from the hospital
authorities who when they found the
woman missing, suspected where she
had gone and the ambulance was sent
to bring her back. She was slightly
feverish yesterday from the effects of
her terrible journey, but showed no
other i'll effects.

WOMAN DENIES SHE
EVER KNEW WIEDRE
Mrs. Gaimond Knows Nothing of Saw
ing Him From Fall

Mrs. Elizabeth Guimond, living at
252 East Ninth street, the woman men
toned in the so-called codieil to A.
H. WhdeF's will, called upon Probate
Judge Bazille yesterday and protested
that she not only knew nothing of the
instrument but had never saved Mr..
Wilder from a bad fall.
"a great many years ago I did save
a man from falling going down one of
the hills leading from st. Anthony hill,
but I feel sure that it was not Mr.
Wilder said Mrs. Guimond. '"The
man I helped wore poor clothes and
I do not believe that he had $40 in
the world. He asked me for my name
and address, but / declined to give
him the information.
II don't know anything about the
Wilders, or where they lived, and am
not aware of the identity Of the per-
sons who wrote the letters. I do not
like to have my name in the papers IN
this way, as am not claiming any part
of the Wilder estate. 1 never heard
of the person mentioned in the second
cediciL"
Judge Bazille believes that the mys-
terry surrounding the sending of the
so-called codicils will be cleared If the
party mentioned in the second codicil
is located. He does not incline to the
theory that the communications were
sent in as a joke.

PARDON FOR KING
Detective Will Be Employed by
Erie Railroad

At a special meeting of the state
board of pardons, held yesterday aft
erDoon at the new state capitol, Ma
thaniel w. King, former city detective
of Minneapolis(w was given full pardon.
King will Immediately leave for Cleve-
land, Ohio, where position in the Sc
cret service of the Erie railroad awaits
him. It is understood that the place
was secured for the old detective
through the good offices of F. w. Un-
derwood, president of the Erie, who is
a former Minneapolis man.
Norm King was convicted of COM
plicity in a diamond robbery in Min
neapolis, during the municipal house,
cleaning inaugurated in that city more
than two years ago. He was sentenced
to three years and three months in
the Saltwater penitentiary, and when
he had completed one-half of his term
of Imprisonment his behavior earned
for him a parole issued by the state
board of control.
Since his parole, three months ago,
King has been employed in Minneap-
oils, and a week ago applied to the
board of pardonS for full pardon that
he might leave the state to take the
position at Cleveland, which pays $125
per month. The petition awaited the
approval of Warden Henry Wolfer, of
the saltwater penitentiary, and when
this was given a special meeting of
the board was held yesterday and the
pardon granted. King will go at once
to Cleveland and will be accompanied
by his family.
While at Saltwater he was in charge
of the night dynamo in the prison
lighting plant, and did excellent work.
Warden Wolfer joined in the request
for his pardon.

PARTNERS FALL OUT
Budding Pork Packers Quarrel
Over Profit Division

Because his partner, Chris Peter,
demands a little of the money in their
business ventures, Mike Chesney, a
laborer living at the corner of Jeffer-
son street and Toronto wishes to
dissolve the partnership and has
brought the matter into the justice
courts.
Some time ago the two men decided
to go into the pork business and
bought a few hogs. Peter, who Is a
driver for brewery, was to furnish
the feed, while Chesney was to house
the porkers.
All went we'll until the last of No
vember when Chesney undertook to
beat his wife and was sent to the
workhouse for thirty days. During his
absence Mrs. Chesney sold eight of the
hogs and pocketed the money, but re-
fused to give Peter his share, and
when he became insistent, chased him
off the premises.
Chesney has now been released and
claims to have had a chance to sell
the rest of the hogs but Peter has
seized upon the remaining live stock
and refuses to sanction the sale until
he receives his money for the last
batch, hence Chesney wishes to dis
solve the partnership.

SUIT TO MAKE ROAD
OBEY COMMISSION
Attorney General Acts on Be-
half of Tonka Bay
Residents

Proceedings have been instituted by
w j. Donahower, attorney general of
Minnesota, to compel the Minneapolis
& ST. Louis Railroad company to give
to the residents of Tonka Bay, Henne-
pin county, passenger train privileges
during the winter months such as they
are given during the summer season.
The action, which is mandamus
proceeding, commenced in the district
court of Hennepin county, is to COM
pei the railroad company to obey an
order of the Minnesota railroad and
warehouse commission that the train
service maintained during the summer
months by the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroad to Lake Minnetonka points
should be maintained during the winter
months.
An order to show cause by the
Hennepin county district court was
served yesterday on the officers of the
railroad at Minneapolis by a Hennepin
county deputy sheriff.
The residents of Tonka bay desire a
morning train to Minneapolis and an
evening train returning to the little
village on the shore of Lake Mime
tonka. The regular trains run via
Excelsior, and when the lake trains are
taken off in the fall of the year the
residents of Tonka bay are compelled
to go to Excelsior to board a train for
the city, and to leave the train re-
turning at that point. The summer
schedule gives them desirable train ac-
commodations, but the railroad COM
pany has declared that the patronage
given the trains in the winter does not
warrant their operation during the cold
weather months.
Complaint was made to the railroad
and warehouse commission nearly a
year ago, and upon this complaint the
commission had hearing upon which
the railroad company was ordered to
continue the summer service during
the winter. The order was not COM
piled with and lately there has been a
renewal of the agitation with the re-
suit that Attorney General Donahower
yesterday began mandamus proceed
ings to compel the company to obey
the order of the commission.
The railroad company has unofficial
ly told the railroad and warehouse
commission that the Twin City Rapid
Transit company is preparing to ex-
tend it's lines to Tonka Bay next
spring and that it expects to withdraw
from the field of lake service with the
coming of the electric lines.

The Minnesota National Guard as
sociation, at its annual meeting, held
at the old state capitol yesterday, dis
cussed proposed legislation of benefit
to the guard. National and state leg
guard more effective, and means for
securing the heartier cooperation of
the enlisted men were discussed.
The action Of the Minnesota statute
revision commission in Formulating a
new military code for the national
guard was mildly criticised in a re-
port made to the association by its
executive committee, of which Maj
George c.. Lambert, of st. Paul, is
chairman. The executive committee
reported that the statute revision COM
mission had made material changes in
the military code, which, upon close
investigation, were found to be un-
necessary, and in many cases seriously
Objectionable.
The executive committee reported
that it had compiled and submitted to
the statute revision commission an
analysis of these changes and had rec
commended that the military code as it
now stands be substituted for the pro-
posed revision of the commission. The
report was adopted by the association,
and word was brought from the statute
revision, commission that it's code of
military laws were by no means ire
vocably fixed and that the suggestions
of the military men might be included
in the report that the commission
would make to the legislature.
Committee Makes Suggestions
The executive committee suggested
that the legislature provide for the
participation of the national guard in
interstate war maneuvers and permit
the use of the national guard funds to
supply the deficiency between federal
and state pay. The committee also
recommended that the law be amended
to remove the limit established by law
for the purchase of quarternaSters'
and ordnance stores; that the laws
provide for the creation of a hospital
corps; that provision be made for dis
cretionary detail of summary court
officer in field officers courts and for
the substitution of the military code
of Minnesota for the proposed revision
of the military laws by the statute
revision commission.
The committee recommended that,
since the Dick law proposed to raise
the regimental strength to twelve
companies in the next three years,
steps should be taken to bring about
the change, and that no better way
could be devised than to secure the
state and national legislation proposed
in the report.
Assessments were ordered levied for
1904 and 1905 to defray the expenses of
the Interstate National Guard asso-
citation, which will hold its national
convention in st. Paul June IL, 1905.
Preliminary arrangements for the
gathering in st. Paul will be completed
by the cooperation of the officers of
the Inter-sta association and the
