The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-11-21

and a little ambition too; for idle
hands were never made to reach a
r:ortal fame"
Montana's magnificent scenery and
her bountiful springs come in for eu-
logy, and the author passes on to the
climate, that inexhaustible subject
has been treated for years and will
be treated for many more. Here is
a tribute to the climate that is suffi
cient to make the people from tie
four corners of the earth want to
pack their traps and come right away
to this glorious land:
Montana has the finest climate on
the face of Gods green earth; south
ern balmy breezes that are called by
the name of chinook. They come
like angels visits, and tarry for
few days; they come when they take
a notion ana melt the beautiful snow,
much to the disgust of the lads and
lassies that in the cold weather love
to sleigh while the earth is robed in
her white array, and the bells will
jingle and rattle away"
That is one on the Chinook but let
It pass. There are other gems in
this album of song, and the reviewer
cannot resist the temptation to pluck
wreath from the chapter devoted
to Montana's flowers:
ooh! give me space for the beau
tiful flowers that dot thousand
ho+ hn oi until fro 1T,a
kind natures sweet perfume. The
flowers, they have a mission to fill,
they will follow you to the tomb
they'll decorate our pretty homes.
and the bride that is given away,
and the soldiers grave in the sunny
cline, who sleeps beneath tn sod
till Gabriel sounds his trumpet on
resurrection morn"
Those who prefer to have the flow
ers follow them to the tomb, .
may do So but there are others who
prefer them for decorations of pretty
homes of which the historian sings.
However, "tempus will fugit," as the
late Bill Nye would say, and the re-
viewer must hurry on. Space must
be given for the following touching
tribute to the educators of the state:
Montana as a state of learning is
fully we'll equipped with colleges nd
universities, which are a decided
benefit. We have a corps of teach
ers that come well qualified to better
the community in which they do re
ctr h.,
ling that in the forest grow-the
more you will cultivate them, the
straighter they will grow So bend
the twig while it is young; also i'm
prove the mind, that you may be as
great and wise as Demosthenes OIL
Cicero"
Another verse that will make the
heart OF the patriotic Montanian pull
safe with pride is the one referring
to the new capitol and the Legislature
which carries with it a terrible warn
ing to the evil doer:
Montana has some fine public
: buildings, which have been granted
y to us of late. especially the capito
; building, which is a credit to ou
' state, There is where the legisla
ture meets, which convenes once il
two years to make the laws that gov
: ern our state; and they have SOM
= stormy sessions, and if the laws yo1
disobey you will know what will b.
!" your doom, they'll take you to tn
= pen and lock you in the tomb"
There is much more of the history
but the space available at this tim

all the good things that are sal
