For there are people who believe in municipal ownership who yet would not like to have the new council buy the gas works the first Week after election.

Snowshoeing, teaching us to control our bodies and our minds. holds a. foremost place among the winter sports, and some there are who say that it is kings-W. 0., in '11:.

The be ginner usually has the habit. of walk- ing on his on shoes and precipitat- ing himself headforemost into the soft. yielding snow. His frantic ef- forts to free himself of his shoes and extricate himself from the snow ap- pear very ridiculous to the less un- fortunate members of the party. and the victim himself usually appre- ciates the situation and has a good, hearty laugh at his own expense. Ev- en the experienwd, if they are not cautious. may trip over a hidden brush or come to grief in climbing a fence. It is an old trick for a snow- shoer a few feet in advance of the other members of the party, when passing under a tree, to shake down a shower of snow on those behind, The best stretch for an easy run is over the snow-covered ice of a lake or stream. Traveling in the woods is next to impossible because of the danger of tripping over under-brush, but by following thewindings of a stream in its sinuous course through a forest one has the double advant- age of traveling on the level and of seeing the beauties of the woods on either hand. The lower boughs of the evergreens, snow-laden, dip down to touch the snow beneath and some- times a limb high up loses its fleecy load, which, falling softly, scatters into a silver shower as it descends. All is still save for the breathing and laughter of the snowshoere and the crackling of an occasional twig. Sometime the dry leaves still cling- ing 'to a beech rustle in the wind like the whispering: of the dead. A "pee- wee" twitters from a brush heap. and on the colder days, when the smaller forms of life are quieted, the crack of the frost in the trees serves to show us that nature’s forces are not dead, but only sleeping. A level expanse of snow is the eas- iest battle ground for a beginner. but as he becomes more proficient he adds to his enjoyment. the climbing and descent of hills and long wand- erings through the fields. Snow is whiteâ€"and white is the emblem of purityâ€"and nothing is more beauti- ful than a wide expanse of spotless snow, unbroken in its sameness, save for here and there a straggling fence with its fringe of elders and withered mullen stalks, and occas- ionally a solitary tree, rising up an a monument to‘ the beauties of the summers which are past and a herald of these which are past and a herald of these which are yet to come. and over and around it all the still- nessâ€"the solemn stillness of a win- ter’s eveningâ€"broken occasionally by the haying of a distant watchdog. It is the custom on the afternoon of New ‘Year's Day to form parties. and the beauties of the sunset viewed from across the level expanse of snowy ‘whiteness more than repays the pleasure-seeker for any slight fa.- tigue he may feel after the prolong- ed walk.
