MHYry Thus spoke, somewhat wearily
Uf&&D Weston Bryant, as he halted mid
way of the modest little slopng
house-lot up which, he was towing his sled.
Government Hill is too risky"
Lets track it up to Powderhorn." exclaim
ed Horace Stokes, with emphasis.
"Powderhorn?" echoed several boys of the
coasters, with gasps of incredulity.
Yes replied Horaee-"P9wderhorn! Why
Horace Stokes was boy of action. With.
out waiting for his words to cool, he whirled
his sled about, bounced upon it with an ener-
getic leap, and SKINNED off down the portion
Of the coast which had been reclimbed.
Example is infectious. Several of the
youngsters set out at once on Horaces track
with applauding whoops and howls.
OF course, all Chelsea boys understand
what "Powderhorn" means, though the gen

of what the grand old Massachusetts hill

Two or three days before there had been a
heavy fall of snow, eight inches on the level,
with drifts of all sorts of depth and eccen-
tricity This had wound up with drenching
rain in the night and the sun peered out the
panse Of ice dazzling in its whiteness and
irresistible in its temptation to all Juvenile
feet with the poetry of motion in them
After two or three hours the crust was
ground up in the road centres by the horses
roofs, and the sleighs plowed briskly through
the burrows Of newly-turned snow. But all
along the edges, and over plain and hill, the
ice veneering remained firm, so that the
skaters SKINNED unchecked from towns end
to towns end.
This wonderful winter surprise, so crate
full to the skaters, brought its embarrass-
ments to the coasters. On even the most
modest slope the sleds would dart madly
away, as if impeled by invisible and mys-
terious powers. and were quite beyond the
control of any ordinary method of steering.
The steep aanks of Government Hill were
tantalizing enough during those two or three
DAYS Sleds were, for the most part, utterly
unmanageable on the descent, not, to mention
the peris of the formidable fence at the foot
of the hill
There was a carnival of Bumpers" for a
day or two, and great was the fun and hilar-
ity, you may believe. But as for sleds, the
Youngsters were confined to gentle incines,
often in inconvenient locations-that is, in
convenient for passing seigh-riders and pc
destrians, who were always in the way, and
usually growing at the coasters, besides.
So the boys became weary of their wayside
cnasting. and when Horace Stokes shouted

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Cheer up! The world is taking your photograph. 1 Look pleasant Oi course you have your troubles; a whole lot ofthings bother you. You find life a rugged road whose stones hurt your feet. Nevertheless cheer up!
 It may be that your real disc SC is selfishness-un- grown selhshness, You i'm agine your tribulations are worse than others bear. You feel sorry for yourself-the meanest Kind of pity. Rid yourself of that and cheer up
 What right have you tC carry picture of your woe begone face and funeral way: among your fellows, who hay, troubles of their own? If vol must whine, or sulk, or scowl take a car and go 10 tn woods, or unfrequented lanes
 Cheer up, Your ills ar largely imaginary. If ther were no thoroughfares througl your sorrows, you would clea up your brows, set your teetI and make the best of it.
 Cheer up, You are mab ing a hypocritical case out ( your troubles and sufterin from a self-infiicted verdic You are borrowing trouble an paying a high rate of interes
 Cheer upl Why, in ter minute walk you may see score ei people worse of tha you And you are diggir your own grave and playir Pall-bearers into the bargai Smile, even though it ! through your tears.-Ex.

"Fitz-Mac's Arizona Copper Book says
 The copper output of Arizona for 1907 will probably fall s little below its output for l906-my calculations chow loss of about ,o00.00 pounds but yet it seems slmost certain to lead the world this year in spite of that loss.
 Speaking in round millions its out put for 1906 was 63,OOO,O 900 pounds. This year, I estimate, it T'ill be 2e2,- 00e ,0O0 pounds.
 The rate of increase for tho six years preceding 1907 was IS Ter cen: II that rate of increase continued the output this year should be 3ll ,O00, %, pounds.
