Ranch Queens Of Texas.

Mrs. 81. NJ. King and Mrs. G. Adair,
widows, are known in the state as the
"ranch queens of Texas" The first is
the owner Of 1,2S00O0 acres of cattle
land. The other owns nearly a million
acres Of the same sort of land. Before
the railroad was built through her
ranch few years ago it was thirty
miles across the front yard of Mrs.
Kings ranch to the nearest railroad
point. She gave land to the railroad
company for town site three miles
from her home. Since the town got
under Roadway Mrs King has devoted
a good share Of her time to its inter-
ests. 1t is her ambition to make It a
model. She has given $4,000 to estab-
lish a school there, and through her
influence largely no saloon has been
permitted to undertake business In the
hustling little place. Mrs. King en-
ploys several thousand men on her
ranch, many Of them being Mexicans.
Her ability as an executive has en-
abled her employees to live harmo-
niously. Mrs. Adair is an Englishwo-
man and lives In an old home in her
native country. But she goes to her
ranch In Texas frequently and keeps
in touch with its interests. On several
occasions she has taken titled visitors
to her ranch and entertained them.

sive circle that was entertained by
her. Mrs. More is the wife Of Professor
Louis More of the University of Gin
cinnati. Her father is Judge Herren
of Cincinnati. She was visiting the
national capital with her father when
Mrs. Taft became i'll, and in order to

her residence at the White House and
continued the social requirements
there which had been begun and car.
ried out so brilliantly by Mrs. Taft.
