When old Pat Kelly. long employed at the mines in Belt and then a helper was found murdered in the autumn of i 1910, Sheriff John A.

Natinnal l'ark during Ole 1 hr\ years of the existence of this Rocky Mountain government preserve, there is revealed the strange coincidence that every one of these \most beautiful words of the English language\ was resorted to by the scores of newspaper and magazine writers who have visited the \Switzerland of America\. Here are the extracts from articles on Uncle Sam's new wonderland, containing the most beautiful words the English language affords: \The SPLENDOR of its scenery charms the senses with MELODY.\ \Wild flowers grow there in MODESTY for the ADORATION of the mountain tourist.\ \The ELOQUENCE Of its majestic HEAVEN peaks establishes FAITH in a DIVINE power.\ \The PURITY of the atmosphere and HARMONY of nature breathes LIBER- TY, JOY and HAPPINESS for tho work- ired iorwr and rejuvenate Il invalid with HOPE.\ \Here on the Roof of the Continent, VIRTUE, INNOCENCE, LOVE, HONOR and SYMPATHY are emphasized by the NOBILITY of nature's own creation.\ \Marvelous RADIANCE of changing light effects from snow -clad mountains f ivesits 250 lakes turquoise and emerald All the rest of the beautiful words in the English language could be used and still the word picture would not be ade- quate, artists say. Some of the best landscape painters in the country declare it is impossible even to do justice to the scenic beauty of Uncle Sam's yew park. Many have tried with the brush but the ever-changing hues from light effects are not to be reproduced in the Rocky Mountain fastnesses of Northwestern Montana. THE STORE OF QUALITY.
