Cttlon Pacific to Have Christmas Trees on all Observation Cars "Mamma, doesn't Santa Claus ever come to a railroad train?" The innocent Query, made by one of a number of children on the O.P. Los Angeles Limited last Christmas gave some one a hunch and this year Santa Claus will make i;ood on Childhood's fondest expectations. For the announcement is made by William McMurray, General Passen ger Agent of the Union Pacific System at Portland that every thru train on its lines Is lo have a Christ mas tree, together with a full comp lement of candy, toys and all of the fixings necessary for a real Christmas Eve celebration. And that means that the venerable Balnl will have to catch 25 differ nt trains speeding at a mile a minute across widely separated portions of the West, bearing not only a big tree, but a huge pack that contains every thing necessary to make it a treasure chest of real Christmas fun. On each pack will be the address; "For the kiddies who have to travel on Christmas.

It was, naturally, crude in Its beginnings, and the past ten years have been the era of its greatest de velopment. It may he snfd that this development has closely paralleled that of the automobile. In both cases the original principle was sound, but It has taken n coed many years to bring about the refinements which constitute the efficient gas-driven car and per fected tree surgery of the present day. Among American no line of com mercial or professional endqavor csn be expected to thrive or even endure for long unless It has a sound economic Justification, says B. A. Qnsrles. We are a practical people and things Im practical make a very limited appeal, American home owners spend yearly not less than $fi.o;X).000 In the rare of their tree. exclusive of work done on them by labor In their own employ. Ten years ago it is doubtful If half that sum was spent. These Dgures Speak forcefully In confirming the ac cept anee of tree surgery as an Impor tant and prin t leal application of sci ence to the preservation of a useful material possession of mankind. Shade trees shout the home have both an aesthetic and economic value, with many the nrst-namcd would justi fy any reasonable care for their pres ervation.

Helen UOc American. Honor Among Chinese. It appears that there is n very high sense of honor among Chinese, writes Henry CrOflb L'mery, I.L. D, So is there among the merchants of Amer ica, Bnghutdi Germany and other coun tries. Again the differences between Individuals are Ittflttiteiy greater thai) those between nations. To all this must be added thut, since China is an older country, her merchant! devel oped u sense of honor long before Western countries. At u time when European commerce wus half trade Snd half piracy, China hud developed this high commercial morality, it i probably the half-buccaneering traders who In -t brought news of this strange gnd honorable custom in lands who hi yet knew it not. Today Chinese com mercial honor und Bngllsll or Ameri can commercial honor differ little ex cept thut China bad developed it cen turion before 11 was adopted in foreign lands.' liurper's Magazine.
