LUXURY IN A
RANCH HOUSE

A little one story, six room log
ranch house in Lander, Wyo., with
sage brush land stretching away from
it in all directions and with only a
numbering mountain stage coach,
drawn by four horses, connecting it
with the outside world, has in it more
than any other house, public or pri-
vate. in the state.
ArapahOe boasts not near fifty souls
all told. But the traveller going by
stage from Lander to Shoshone will find
it's ranch an uncommonly good one at
which to stay over night, for Mrs.
Becker, it's gracious hostess, does not
spend all her money on ornaments for
her table. She always makes enough
to pay the salaries of two first class
Chinese cooks and to supply her table
with delicacieS.
Many ranch houses look neither more
nor less inviting from the outside than
does this one. Dirt, poor food, cracked
dishes, wretched service and insuffer-
ably bad beds compose the accommo
dations. The traveller is agreeably
surprised, then, when he finds the
wealth of cut glass, china and silver
ware which graces Mrs. Becker's table,
excellent service, every delicacy that
a city market affords, cleanliness every
where, easy chairs and touches, beds
fresh and comfortable and an atmos-
phere of refinement.
Mrs. Beckers cut glass, china and
silverware are the pride and delight
of Arapahoe and of all the countryside
round about it. Even the Indians who
have got a glimpse of them regard
them with a sort of proprietary inter
est. Not long ago Mrs. Becker sent an
order to New York for a thousand dol
lars worth of cut glass and that
thousand dollars worth is not all she
has. Besides her valuable collection of
cut glass; china and silverware Mrs.
Becker has many hundred dollars
worth of Navajo blankets and Indian
curios. She made an army officers
wife a present of $500 or $500 worth of
blankets and curios recently and
thought nothing of it. She is a West
ern woman and does things in a West
ern way.
Not long ago Mrs. Becker gave a
party at her ranch house to which she
invited some Of the best known folk
in Lander and army officers and their
wives from Fort Washable. 1t was a
unique society function. Each of the
numerous guests went home with a
costly gift from the hostess. One
young woman was given a saddle: an
other a beautiful and costly souvenir
spoon with an elk's tooth set in the
handle, and others received gifts equal
ly as valua bie.-Galveston News. i

Where shovel, scoop and dredge

And setting fields on edge.

And blasts fill all the air
They're quarrying new tablets from
The rock formations there.
Each hallowed spot, that once 1 dream

A place serene and dear

To make a souvenir
With Sinai carved in tablets small.
And Canaan boxed in pecks,
And Jordan held in bottles tall

And is it near at hand,
When sinners in a hurry may
Get their religion canned?
