following "rules of the road" are based
upon legal decisions, and ought to be univer-
sally known. The courts have decided that
applicants for tickets on railroads can be
ejected from cars if they do not offer the
exact amount of their fare. Conductors are
not bound to make change. All railroad
tickets are good until used; conditions, "good
for this day only," or limiting time of
genuineness, are of no account. Passengers
who lose their tickets can be ejected from
the cars unless they purchase a second one.
Passengers are bound to observe decorum in
the cars, and are obliged to comply with all
reasonable demands to show their tickets.
Standing on the platform, or otherwise vio-
lating the rules of the company, renders a
person liable to be put off the train. No
person has a right to monopolize more seats
than he has paid for; and any article left
in the seat while the owner is temporarily
absent entitles him to his seat on his re-
turn.
