lar. The two Others were WOMEN, one
full blooded Indian squaw, the other
half blood Indian girl Both were
well dressed, but in semiIndian cos
tune.
The coach had hardly reached the
crest of Flournoy hill when our dude
took a cigar from his pocket and light
ed it. The little gentleman in front OF
him remarked. Il believe it is against
the rules of Hinton & Co, who operate
this stage line, TO smoke in any of their
coaches in the presence of ladies'" The
fellow responded: Suppose it is. l am
not infringing on the rules. There is a
vast difference between ladies and In
dian squaws." The little gentleman
smiled. but the light in his eyes demon
strated that he was not an individual
to be trified with. He quietly observed:
''They are women, at least. and are
therefore entitled TO the respect Of
men. For your further Indignation 1
will tell you that this one" laying his
hand lovingly on the shoulder of the
older woman, lis my wife. and this
one" tenderIy lifting the face of the
girl to his own, lis my daughter. My
name is Kit Carson, and think sim
gle second will be sufficient time for
you to get rid of that cigar
1t is hardly necessary to recite the
facts that the cigar went out of the
window III less than the time specified
and that at Arrow Rock, the next sta
ton, the dude found it convenient to
lay over for another coach.
This was the writer's first meeting
with Kit Carson. but it is pleasant to
remember that it was not his last
Carson was authority on all Indian
and western matters before he became
4 national historic character through
his connection with John c. Fremont
and his command of troops in the west
during the civil war.
He was possibly entitled to even
more credit as a pathfinder than Ere
mont himself. 1t is safe 10 say that
had it not been for him Fremont and
his whole command would have per-
ished in the SHOWS of the Rocky noun
tains.
Within the last few years the writer
has heard it asserted that Kit Carson's
wife was a Spanish woman of high de-
gree, to whom he was married some
where in New Mexico. This may be
true, but if so she was his second
wife, for no man was ever more devot-
ed to his family than was Carson to his
Indian wife and daughter, as the writ
err personally knows from having met
them on q Missouri steamboat several
years after.
Away back in the forties a novelist
named JudsOn under the nom de plume
Of Ned Buntline wrote a series of blood
and thunder stories based upon matters
said to be happening in the Indian
country. Kit Carson was the hero of |
all these stories, and thousands of peo |
pie through them-ferP ed wrong idea |
Of the man. He was looked upon as an |
half wild individual, whose |
only thought was to slaughter Indians. !
On the contrary, he was just the re-
verse of the picture drawn by Ned |
Buntline. He was high souled, chiv- |
1lrous, tender hearted man and was
always the friend and counselor of the |
indians, never using force against them |
except in the defense of his own race.

NEW RAILWAY TERMINAL.
Site Selected for Improvement at Cost
of So, 100000

CHICAGO, July 21.-A site for general
terminal of the Illinois Tunnel Company s
system of underground electric railways
has been secured by the company a cost
of 81, 500, 600 through the purchase of the
property on the west bank of the Chicago
river, north of Taylor street now occupied
by the Albert Dickinson Companys seed
warehouses and owned by the Chicago
Dock Company.
The tunnel company will proceed imme-
diately to remodel the property, and prom
Uses to have its lines in use by November
for general transportation under the streets
of much traffic now carried on the surface.
On all sides of the purchased tract, which
measures 4O4 feet north and south and 100
feet east and west, are the terminals of
trunk lines.
The property has connection with all the
railroads and is adjacent to the tunnel
company's large conduit under Taylor
street, which connects the tunnels under the
business district of the south side with the
west side tunnels.
The most important Significance of this
practical completion of the tunnel com
pany's equipment will be the probable end
ing of street congestion in downtown dis
tricts by heavy teaming.
