evening and found it full A courteous old gentleman arose and offered her his seat. Did she take it without even ''thank you2' Not at all. She pleasantly and heartily re- marked: 'Keep your seat, sir. I am better
 able to stand than you" But the old gentle
 man was obdurately polite and she had to
 take the seat. When the conductor came
 around after the fares one of the passengers
 dropped ten-cent piece without noticing it.
 The young lady picked it up, called the at
 tention of the passenger to his loss and hand
 ed him his money. Next she busted herself
 in making room for another lady who had
 got into the car. She had pleasant face
 and the kindness and good will which she
 manifested were cheering. Finally she got
 off the car and lightly tripped away, leaving
 at least one person satisfied that all of our
 girls afe not what some pessimists say they
 are.
 Americans who have wasted more or less
 valuable time in crossing the overcrowded
 London bridge will be glad to know that
 this bridge will soon be relieved of part of
 it's immense traffic by the construction of
 tower bridge, half mile from London
 bridge, at cost of s4,OOO,OOO. It will be
 suspension bridge. with two castellated
 towers, each 200 feet high, in the river, at
 the end of two anchorage towers on the river
 bends. The central roadway span of 200
 feet width will be in two parts, each of
 which will, on the level being touched, fold upward against it's tower, leaving clear
 space 200 feet wide and 135 feet high for the
 passage of vessels. Hydraulic machinery operating these draws will be under the con- trol of one man, and so powerful that each
 of these great iron draws, 100 feet wide and 100 feet long, will be raised and lowered without jarring or jerking. A foot bridge over the central cables, and approached by elevators in river towers, will be always ready for use without regard to the condition of the drawbridge below. The bridge will be 200 feet long, and during it's construction the passage of vessels will not be stopped. Joseph c. Armour, jr., who is devoting a great deal of attention to the Indian coun- has just returned to Chicago from the West, and he makes some interesting remarks con- corning the recent troubles regarding the cattlemen and the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indian tribes. He says: I am of opinion that 8 thorough investigation of the recent difficulties will disclose the fact that they had their origin in the discontent of certain contumacious Indian leaders of bands who kept themselves aloof from the main body of their tribes. And certain army officers and their friends stationed at Camp Supply out side the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservations during the last two years have, in connection with the bad Indians and the squawmen, been using all their efforts to stir up discon- tent and to poison the mind of the lieutenant general against the cattlemen. Their animus appears to have arisen from the fact already stated that their business of cattle raising was cut off at the time of the leasing of the lands, and that they were compelled to drive their herds, believed to have numbered about twenty thousand head, over into the pan handle of Texas, where the grazing was neither so rich nor so extensive. Besides ! this, they had previously been paying con- ! siderable sums of money to the bands of out l law Indians who made their abode along tine northern line of the reservation and also fol ! a considerable portion of the time at Camp | Supply.
