The bee. (Earlington, Ky.) 1889-19??, 1902-08-21

There are many interesting things
to be seen as you speed across the
open prairie; at least, it was so In
our case.
We saw large herds of cattle, the
most popular breed here being the
Galloway, Angus and the Durham
shorthorn, and then again we passed
village Of prairie dogs, and the ac-
comodating little inhabitants were
either sitting full of curiosity on
top Of their queer little houses or
paying an afternoon call to their
friends, thus affordlng us view
both sitting and running.
These were a source of unfailing
amusement to our boys, ! am sure
everyone is not so fortunate as I, for
even a great gray wolf left his hid
ing place, gave one frightened glance
at our train, and then galloped off
across the wide prairie.
In Denver we had most delight
ful little stay.
1t is beautiful, clean city, and we
had q delightful ride In an 0bserva-
ton car and saw the most important
places of Interest," saw them on the
fly, it is true, but better than not
at all.
There are quite number Of hand
some buildings on 18th street, and
this city boasts of having more
buildings that cost $25O,OOO than any
other city in the Unitep States.
The oldest street in Denver is Lar
inner street, named in honor of Gen.
William Lar1mer, q noted fighter of
his day III Indian warfare.
We also saw the site of Gen. Lari-
mer's log cabin, in which the first
white female child was born in the
state.
This site is now occupied by a
handsome building that would over
shadow many times in magnificence
and size the humble log cabin of pi-
oneer days and through whose open
doors pass throngs of busy people
each day.
On we came from Denver, 1900 feet
higher in the clouds, on Monday aft
ernOon and found our Westerners
most delightfully."- housed in the most
comfortable, homelike little home
you could imagine. Never were peo-
pie given more cordial welcome
than we received from our new host.
What lovely place this is, and as
far as the eye can reach to the
North, East and South stretch out
the broad lands of Mr.. L. j. Noe, the
cordial, friendly gentleman in whose
good care we have spent one week
of happy days.
Such friendliness as is offered you
here is irresistible.
And where's a life so gay and
free" a view so grand, yet restful,
as the green, rolling prairie to the
East and mountains, range upon
range, to the North, West and South.
Such soft, hazy outlines in the far
distance, such clear ones near by
that your eyes are never tired, but
feel envious Of the dreamy twilight
that shuts out the view.
Here on this ranch are between so
and 100 sleek cows to be MIXED and
cared for, quite a number of pretty
horses, and so of the dearest little
calves you ever saw.
Among the calves are four little
beauties, two named for our little
girls and two for our little boys, also
one OF the beauties of the herd is my
namesake.
1t is haying time on the ranch now
and already over 400 tons have been
stacked, and this is only the first
cutting.
Mr.. Noe always gets two fine crops
from his Alfalfa, the brag Western
hay, and from which the most deli
cious clear honey is made.
1 ride out here, but L shan't tell
you about that; you must see it to
appreciate it. MY favorite riding
horse is Mckinley.
1t is most delightfully."- cool here,
but the way the wind blows some
time is enough to make a tender
foot's hair rise.
Remember me to all my friends,
and tell them 1 am well and happy.
Your friend,
CELESTE MOORE.
