Good ImaginatiOns.

Many people just at present are making
heavy, and in many cases disastrous, pull
upon their stock of imagination while max
ing themselves believe that good time is
theirs when sleigh riding. When sober un-
biased view of the matter is taken, based
upon the studied experience of typical
ride, we cannot help but arrive at the con-
clusion that it is not pleasure-instead, sub
stantial misery lachrymous to behold.
Mark Twain certainly took the truth fair
ly athwart the hip when he said that sleigh
ride was nothing more than getting between
two houses where the wind blew at good
freely rate and put his feet in cold water; and
if he wished to enhance the general effect,
have a small boy to pelt him with frozen
snow
