Here is a hist of rules bright
travelling man has made up for the
use of those who travel on railroad
trains:
Never buy your ticket at the office
Make the conductor give you rebate
check. In this way you get more for
your money.
Don't wipe your feet on ladys
dress without first asking permission.
Don't chew tobacco in parlor car
unless. you can hit the cuspidor once
in ten ames.
Never crowd man out OF his seat
when he's bigger than you are. The
railroad company prefer to mop up
their own floors.
Never ask anybody's pardon when
you stQb on their pet corn. Put on
hungry champion of the world look,
and begin to feel of your muscle.
When the conductor comes around
punch him in the ribs and begin to
joke with him. That's what he's paid
for.
4 When you see a man reading a news
paper or a book, talk to him about the
wsathsr. 1t may bore him, but it win
slNeghis eyesight.
slsays talk your loudest in rail-
road 1t makes people respect you.
Upon entering the ear, open the win
dow full width. It's the glorious privi-
lege of all free-born American citizens
to cover their fellow travellers with
dust and cinders. Besides the car
should be properly ventilated.
Entertain the ladies with vivid ac-
counts of every railroad disaster you
ever heard of. 1t makes the journey
pleasant for them.
If possible, occupy four seats in a
crowded car. 1t shows that you're not
to be imposed upon.
