He has secured mis- rider and is now
looking for a Wyoming horse that can
make the trip, or, in other words, is
good for sixty miles per day for about
ten days. All Wyoming ranchers and
horse owners should be interested in

the hardest horses in the west, there
should be little trouble in securing a
horse in this section of the state that
will carry away the prize.

TERMS OF ENDEARMENT.
Pet Names Employed in France and
Germany.
From Tit-Bits.


The terms employed by the people OF
one nation as the choicest phrases in their
vocabulary OF endearment are often en-
pioyed for quite the opposite purpose by
other peoples.
One of the most familiar and most COW
eted phrases of endearment among the
French. for instance. is my little pig"
and my little puppy dog IS also much
appreciated When French husband
calls his wife cat she does not fly
into a passion of resentment, as an Eng
disappearing wife might do under the
same circumstances, but takes IL as
gentle compliment On the other hand.
If he were to call her duck as the
British husband might his wife, she
would be very much offended

JAMES |. PARSONS

Months Ahead.
Numerous Great ,Edifces Erected by
the Man Who Supervises Every

through the gate of the high board

but its full immensely cannot be ap-
preciated until one has entered it.

then climbed the interior stairways

patches OF plaster dripped and
where everything was in a state OF
being done, but rapidly nearing
completion.
There | met one OF the men en-
noyed on the building and asked
him when it would be ready for

started the work III August, 1905,
and moved his office right down
here. so that he has been on the
job literally, as well as hgurative
", all the time. He has had per-
sonal oversight OF the work, and

mented. land one that looks like
great amount of work for the
life of any one man.
1T is. indeed. but there is one
thing Unjust tell you. When Mr..
Parsons takes oversight OF the
work it means something. He is
not contractor in the broker
sense, merely taking the work at
price that will permit him to get
somebody to do the work and let
him clear a profit. He is practi-
cal man. a skilled mechanic, who
served his apprenticeship at the
carpenters bench, and knows his
trade thoroughly. One bit OF work
he did is especially interesting,
and that was his putting tempo
rary roof over the great eNpanse
OF the pension Office for the Cleve-
land inaugural ball That great
task he completed in eight days.
At the time it was considered a
triumph, and think it would be
SO considered today, in spite Of
our progress in building mech
anism.
"Were there many mechanical
aids for erecting this building?' |
inquired.
There we're" my informant re-
piled, and that is one OF the rea-
sons why the work was COM
pleted SO rapidly. Mr.. Parsons
had the best sort of machinery for
placing the heavy stones, and all
the carving was done by means
OF drills worked with compressed
air. The terrazo floors OF the cor
ridors are now being polished by
machinery, the apparatus doing
the work of forty men. There has
been great economy of labor all
through the work, the average
number of men employed being
about $50.
with such task as this, Of
course. Mr.. Parsons has not been
able to undertake. any other work, "
J | hazarded.
Don't you believe that for a
minute came the reioinder. Mr..
Parsons has taken other contracts
wherever he chose, and. although
he has been i'll person supervising
every DAYS work here, his two
sons, c. w. Parsons and James l..
Parsons, jr., have taken charge OF
his other ventures. 1t takes more
than this to stop him. and at that
, this building is beating time

! shortest ever. Is there anything

have overwhelmed me with what
YOU have told me already
