What's this tooxe talk we hear float-i Members of Next General As- | thy ardund—the talk of doubters and dissenters, the haltafraid questionin A anbelfevern— “Ix there a Santa Claus?” Who dares axk this question? Who dares doubt? Who dares even grant the possibility of dental? We call down upon his head the wrath of all rightthinking men | Would the world’s hard heart turn sot each year amid the snows and hlows of winter, sending rays of glad- ness into each dark spot, if there were no Banta Claus? Would grim-faced yargoyles, the buctaneers of business, cease their warfare against their fellows and try sovjueke’ right the wrongs they have demerit there were no Santa Claus? Would wlinking servants of sin Jay aside their tawdry Unsel and secept for once the things of the spirit and the tUdings of righteousness, if there were no Banta Claus? Would warmad millions their slaughter to kneel before tiny sprigs of evergreen, their deathdeal- ing engines idle for once, if there were no Banta Claus? Would starved Ni(tle children with | pinched and piteous faces laugh with wlee over bountiful dinners and beau- iful dolls and marvelous toys, if there were no Banta Claus? Go to with that talk that would blawt childish hopes and snatch the Joy from humanity's breast! Shame on you, for even suggesting such a question, And ff still there's a bit of unbelief ~Af still you are unconvinced of the folly walnt's existence—-we ask you fo walt Ull Monday for your answer. Then, amid the squeals of happy children and the pleasant votces of grown folkx made glad, you'll have to accept the universal verdict: Of course, th nta Claus!

In order that no improvement might be neglected, every practical suggestion is actually incorporated in a car under construction in our shops, and once a month these be 6k improvements are personally i ted by the Committee on Standards composed of higher officials of the Company. The development of the sleeping car, the parlor car and the enclose vestibule are chavartetoie siepa in the constant advance made by the Pullman company in the perfection of its equipment. To this end every new in- vention practical for Pullman car construction is carefully considered, and, if contributing to safety or convenience is adapted to car requirements. Many of these improvement are of a highly technical nature and contribute chiefly to safety. igyte result primarily in added comfort, or convenience to Passengers. ll serve to anticipate the passengers’ requirements and meet the most exacting demands of the traveling public.
