LIFE OF THE COUPON PASSPORT.

It Is Born In a Printing Office and Ends Its Days In a Ficry Furrace—Details ot a Complicated System of Checking Up the Tickets,

The life of a railroad ticket ts one of the most absorbing interest. It is a record of “intricate simplicity’ all through. From the time it jeaves the hands of the printer until if arrives at the office of the ticket

The other style of coupon ticket is what ie called in railroad parlance the ‘‘skeleton form.’’ It is blank as far as both starting point or destination is concerned, and is issued to the smaller agents. When they have a call for one of these tickets, they fill out ay many coupons as there are roads to be traveled over.

The tickets are sold to the passengers and remain in their hands for but a short time, if the conductor of the train is vigi- lent, and he usually is encugh so to get all

ene ' the tickets before the next station is reached. And there the public’s acquaintance ends.

The conductor, always suave and ready to be obliging, has many things on his raind to look after. Oneof these is the disposition of his ticket collections for the trip.

He gets them together out of his sev- eral pockets at the end of his trip and as- sorts them in station order. He then counts them. All collections from mileage books are also counted carefully. He then enters up on a report blank the number of tickets collected and the number of mile- age slips taken up and between what points. On the same report he also entera the number of cash fares and between what points collected.

This report, with the tickets, is inclosed in an envelope and mailed to the general auditer or the ticket auditor of the road.

Here the real work on the ticket begins. The auditor reccives reports daily from the agents along the line, and it is his busi- ness to check them up against the receipts of tickets from train collections.

The conductor's collections are brought in and turned over to young men in the auditor’s office and by them opened. The tickets inclosed are carefully counted to see that the conductor’s statement on his re- port is correct. They are then entered up on @ biank as ‘‘from,’’ ‘‘to,’’ ‘‘number of tickets’ and ‘‘amount,’’ and the total is struck. This is done in order to arrive at tho daily earnings of cach train. A care- ful record of this is kept and a monthly average per trip taken. The traffic officials are then enabled to see whether certain runs are paying and to take steps to muke them pay or withdraw them. It is odd to lovk down the list of a certain train and seo how nearly alike are each day’s earn- ings. Except where there has been a big exoursion the collections do not vary to an eppreciabie degree from day te der. _

| that is to be checked, all tickets from St.

Louis to Jefferson City are got together. The agent may have reported the sale of Nos. 15,211 to 15,310. 100 tickets. It is the business of the ticket sorter to see how many of these tickets have been collected and to mark the report ef the agent to show those that have not been turned in. Whenever these missing tickets do come in the report of the agent for the month in which they were sold is resurrected from

; some dusty box and the missing ticket

checked as ‘‘in.’’ I¢ is surprising how many tickets are belated and how many nover comnmein. Frequently persons buy tickets that are limited and cannot use them until the limit. has expired, when they throw them awey. In other cases a ticket may not show up for a month or two, when it is unlimited.

Coupon tickets require much more care- ful handling than local tickets, and the men who keep the books on them receive better salaries tham the local ticket sorters,

All coupons tickets are turned over to them from the traim collections and cy them carefully assorted as to roads of issue. Each ticket or coupon is then carefully re- corded in a book:so that its history can be traced from its start to its destination. At the end of each: month a statement is ren- dered to all interested lines by the road that issues the: tickets of all sales over their lines. In. this way a kind of clearing house arrangement is kept up and the, debtor road makes remittance to the cred- itor road after deducting offsetting ao- counts.

And then:cemes the end of the railroad: |}

ticket’s life. As soon as all reports have

been checked up and a careful division of* |

earnings—that is, the apportionment to the- various divisions of the earnings—has been, made, the tickets are filed away for future reference. It is absolutely necessary that the tickets. should be kept on hand for a. long time, not less than 12 months, for. sometimes: a lawsuit is dependent on the ticket on which some passenger may have ridden. After 12 or 14 months’ wait, the tickets meet with their fiery fate. They. are taken out of the filing cases carefully, and under: the inspection of a responsidle man are burned.—Robert E. Leein St
