ROUGH ON THE PASSENGERS
English Railway Rules Sesm Framed
on Principle That They Are
All Criminals.
The unsuccessful prosecution of n
railway passenger at Glasgow for
traveling with a ticket given to him
by another person is a striking illus-
tration of the extraordinary powers
claimed by railway companies,
Hallway laws—or, rather, railway
by-laws, which are not unite the same
thing-bristle with penalties for the
hapless passenger. They seem to be
framed on the principle that every
traveler Is a potential criminal, re-
marks a writer In London Tit-Bits.
if lie falls io produce ids ticket when
it Is asked for it is, in railway law,
"prima facie evidence that he has no
ticket." h'ine, 40 shillings. If he really
has no ticket it is prima fade evidence
of fraud. Another 40 shillings—oven
though he Intended to buy a ticket,
but, being late for his train, failed to
do so. 0
I!' the passenger has taken a ticket
for a particular station and alights at
an intermediate station the railway
can claim payment of the fare between
the points of starting and alighting, al-
though it has already been paid once
for the original ticket. If he refuses to
jmy-—10 shillings.
If he travels tirst class with a third-
class ticket on au.\ part of a line the
railway has power to demand payment
of the whole fare from the point at
which the train started.
The passenger is also liable to pay-
ment twice over If he uses the return
half of his ticket the day after Its cur-
rency expired.
Most of these by-laws are as farci-
cal In practice as that still In force
which Imposes a penalty of 40 shill-
ings on a passenger who enters a com-
partment which i$ *• I ready full.
Swan Attacks awtmmers.
A swimming race for a challenge
cup t Chemey, tengland, has been up-
set and the contest declared void by
the jndgf*, owing to the opposition of
a awan. The ruce was in progress
when a big male swan dashed across
the Thame* and singled out for a
tierce attack a swimmer with a bald
head.
By treading water and waving his
arms the man beat the bird off, and
the swan then assaulted other swim-
mers so persistently that people on
the bank had to go to their reacue.
The swan was resolute as well aa
angry, and delayed the race so long
that it hail to tie abandoned.
Patience.
"Hello, ,'lud" saluted a young
swain of the I'osturn Trot region, ad-
dressing another of his kind who was
humped tjji on a log by the roadside.
"What are you setting there for?
Anything the matter?"
"Nope!" was the reply. "Just wait-
ing for Mis# Duck Daddle to come
along; that's all. I'm going to take
her tw singing school."
"But. gt •eat guns, singing school
don't take place till tomorrow night!"

love he don't mind wait log."—Kansas
