MRS. X. KING. tnere WOulQ SJlll De
nearly half million acres outside the
State line. Eighteen hundred and
seventy-fve square miles Of absolute
domain, in which one woman's will
is law. This seems incredible, but
such are the realty holdings in farm
lands alone Of Mrs. Richard King, Of
Corpus Christi, Texas. The whole Of
Southern Texas is divided into few
great estates, one of which belonged
to Capt. Richard King. He, dying in
1885, left the enormous area to his
widow.
Mrs. King is 60 years of age, a lady
of kindly instincts and admirable char
acteristics that have made her greatly
beloved by the community. She lives
very plainly and does not spend 1.-THE
Of her income.
The division Of these pastures, which
the increase In population will soon
render inevitable, will be of great ben.

the entirety Of as remarkable a prop
erty as exists in the United States to-
day. The land alone is worth full
$5,00O,OO0 as 1t is. 1t will be worth un-
told millions when 1t is devoted to
viniculture, a possibility of the near
future, for which it is better suited
than it is for the purpose of raising
