THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
 Cbontor TT

"A thing begun is half done" The house was now to rise as a monument of MT. Gant's enterprise. It was not his intention to build a two-storv house, but on the contrary he thought to build a one-story house, leaving the gables open for thorough circula- tion Of air. His idea was to secure the greatest coolness possible. Upon the convincing figures of Justice Mey- CTS, which showed that it would cost but little more, he decided to build it two stories, close the gables and leave the second story to be finished on the inside, at the option of certain future occupants.
 This decided, everything went off smoothly, the house rapidly assumed shape, the people of the neighborhood watching it closely and making it the subject of conversation at the fireside during the long winter evenings, and the people on the ranch enjoying a continuous social during the house raising
 On the 18th of December the house was half done. The frame was all up and the roof and siding all on, and the building began to indicate what it would look like when finished. And as it assumed it's shape and size the comments and favorable expressions grew in number. It was no wonder, however, for rising to the height of two stories and extending On the ground for distance of thirty-two feet it gave promise of a magnificent structure way out on the border Of civilization and untamed nature.
 The ladies of the community got up a big Christmas tree at the Reddin school house. It was no small affair, as the presents represented a great deal of money and bore the names of great many people. The next day as the carpenters and ranchmen were about to start to work they were sur prised by the abrupt appearance of MT. Cant joyfully flourishing a red bandana handkerchief, and gleefully exclaiming, "Who says that somebody hasn't got an eye on this house?''
