THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS ON THE RAILS.

At noother period of the year does home hunger grip the
human heart with such an eager yearning as at Christmas
time, The lasting memories of the old homestead the
tender welcome of the older and the merry greetings of the
younger dear ones, the happy reunion about the festal board
the pungent odor of the cedar, the witchery of the holly. the
lurking sentiment of the mistletoe, all combine to make a lire
well nigh irresistible.
1t is the season of reunions and foregatherings. of meet
ing and parting.
The zest of travel is rife, for apart from the home-goings
and social exchanges il tt a holiday time for many and there
are pleasant excursions to be made, where sightseeing has an
added relish from the prevalent gaiety and good cheer.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is always popular at holiday
tunes. Its system IS so far-reaching, and at the same time so
closely interviewer with the needs of the traveller; its trains
are SO numerous and so well equipped for the accommodated
OF every class of travel, and ticketing arrangements so sat
1sty1ng that it might be termed the Santa Claus route
It's Limited trains carrying the highest grade of travellers
completely appointed in every detail, offer exceptional advan.
tages to the children going home from school for the Christmas
vacation. The boys naturally gravitate to such trains: the
girls VIII IND every comfort and safeguard, as we'll as a maid
at their command. "N
NO matter whittier bound it is wise to consult a Pennsyl-
wanna Railroad Agent as to trains and rates. He can
start you right; the rest will be easy.

DEATH PACT KEPT
 BY PHILADELPHIA COUPLE

Philadelphia. Dec. 25.-Leaving let- ter stating that they had died for love, George A. Green. aged 35 years. early today shot and probably fatally wounded Miss Edith Wonderiy, aged g years and then turned the revolver upon himself. infiicting probably fatal wounds.
 Green is married. but Is separated from his wife In letter which is addressed to a Philadelphia newspa- per, Green attacks his wife and among other thingsA says:
 Today am going to kill myself and a true loving friend as my letter and hers will show We died for love which was denied us by her dear mother This is the only. girl ever loved. We have promised before God we could never live apart This Is our secret" ' NO letters were found in the cloth- ing of the girl. The mother of Miss Wonderly had refused Green .permis- sion to visit her home and the police believe Green and the girl entered into a pact to die together.
 The hospital physicians, after many attempts, this afternoon extracted the two bullets which took effect on Miss Wonderle, and while her condition is still serious, say that they have hopes of saving her life. The doctors made several attempts to recover the bullet from Greens head, but without suc- cess. Yer -+t
 The shooting occurred on the side walk in the northern part of the city. a fashionable residential section. and caused much comment.
