Text Appearing Before Image:
rom the several companies represent-ing the roads over which he had to pass. Their introduction ne-cessitated an agreement among the principal railways of the coun-try and the adoption of an extensive system of accountability forthe purpose of making settlements of the amounts represented bythe coupons. Like every other novelty the coupon ticket, when first intro-duced, did not hit the mark when aimed at the understanding ofcertain travellers. A United States Senator-elect had come on bysea from the Pacific Coast who had never seen a railroad till hereached the Atlantic seaboard. With a curiosity to test the work-ings of the new means of transportation, of which he had heard somuch, he bought a coupon ticket and set out for a railway journey.He entered a car, took a seat next to the door, and was just begin-ning to get the hang of the school-house when the conductor,who was then not uniformed, came in, cried Tickets ! and reachedout his hand toward the Senator. What do you want of me?
