too, a company may refuse to

without q ticket, but if he succeeds in
for want OF a ticket il he tenders the
legal fare.
But ifyou refuse to pay your fare and
tho train has been stopped for the
purpose OF putting you Off, subse-
quent offer to pay does not give you d
right to remain nor take from the con-
ductor right to exclude you from The

Nor having been put off do you gain
q right to re-enter immedi .tely Oil
rendering either the fare or q ticket.
You forfeit your right to continue on
that train.
Except that if the train stops at q
regular station and before being
elected there the fare is offered, the
conductor should receive 1t.
1t is familiar rule that in case it is
lawful TO eXpel q passenger it must be
done with rs little violence and force
us possible, and in a manner SO us not
to injure him.
In some states statute provides
that the expulsion must be ut q rey,l.
lar station or near some dwelling
house. A violation OF such u provis-
ion makes the company liable.
You must exhibit or deliver up u
ticket when properly requested. You
cannot ride upon a bogus or improper
ticket, nor on one which has expired"
nor on IL forged or-stolcn ticket, nor
yet on one purchased with counterfeit
money. An Illinois decision makes
you liable to expulsion, without re-
dress, ii you, having no ticket, refuse
to pay fare, even though the fare ask
ed be more than the price OF u ticket.
You may be elected for violation OF
law, or for willful breaches of any
reasonable rules made by the COM
pany. You cannot ride on n ticket
purchased with counterfeit money, if
the company's agents are apprised OF
that fact.
Where there is no such statute re.

The moral OF all this is to buy O

pass, and then behave yourself.

also. This is probably the only in
stance in the world where only the
best physical specimens OF men and
women intermarry, and the result is
such rs to deserve attention. These
wrestlers form troupes of fifteen
or twenty each and travel from town
to town, where they always meet u
rival troupe and the two companies
give exhibitions. BY these means
there are no hippodromes but genuine
exhibitions of strength, skill and &C.
tivity.
These exhibitions are generally held
in large buildings improvised from
bamboo poles for the purpose. They
will accommodate thousands of peo.
pie, and thousands are always there.
The rival troupes are seated on op.
posite sides of the house, and the man.
ayers arrange the match. When it
comes to the meeting of the champions
of the respective troupes the interest
is intense and large amounts are stak-
ed OH the result. The favorites are
stimulated by the offer of large sums
of money from their friends in cas1
they win. These entertainments last
whole afternoon, and in the lareu
towns extend through a week or two.
These athletic sports are popular and
so well patronized that wrestlers or
