HORRIBLE DEATH.
A FOur.Year Old Child So Badly
Burned, Death Followed.

Last Friday afternoon, Ely, a four
year old son of Mr.. M. l.. Burton, who
lives in the Purdy country, was so hor-
ribly burned that death followed in a
few hours. The lad was in field with
his father, the latter burning grass.
After the grass had been set fire in a
number of places, the father left his
son, going across the field. He had
been gone but short time when the
boy, not apprehending danger, set fire
to the grass in other places. The wind
was high and the fire spread rapidly,
catching the boy. His clothes were
soon consumed and his body fearfully
burned. While the flames were wrap
ping the body Of the infant, his moth
er, from a distance, discovered the
horrible situation, and ran, almost
frightened to death, to her child, but
was too late to save him. The little
fellow was carried to the house and
Drs. Sallee and Cartwright called, but
there was no relief, and death followed
during the night. 1t is impossible to
portray the anguish of the parents,
who have the sympathy of the entire
neighborhood.

Appeals to Pride and Patriotism.
Gov. Toole was asked to give his opin-
lon OF the movement. and this is what
he says In the Homescekcr about 1t:
without detracting In the least from
the advantages OF n trip to Europe the
Idea OF See America First Is altogether
wholesome and ought to appeal alike to
our pride and patriotism We have won
derful cities from many points Of view.
The architecture OF our public buildings
is unsurpassed Our libraries and gal
leries of art arc storehouscs OF the best
thought and work OF the Old and the
New World. our museums. national and
State. are repositories OF the richest col
lctions from every quarter and CLINE.
Nowhere has nature done more to In
struct and delight mankind. whether con-
sdered with reference to our crystal
brooks. noble rivers. placid lakes. spar
killing cataracts. awe-inspiring waterfalls,
illlmltablc plains, impcnetrable forests or
Our public parks. national and city, are
unrlvaled In extent and beauty.
Among these the tar-famed and world
renowned Yellowstone National park Is
without a rival, The gorgeous colorings
of its canyons have deiled tho painter 3
brush, and the stupendous grandeur of
its cragS and peaks has stuffed the poet 3
song. America is instinct with Hfe, en-
crgy and action. Her wonderful re-
sources. inventive genius and ceaseless
progress have attracted and are holding
the attention of the civilized world The
great State OF Montana furnishes more
than her quota OF the great panorama

EASY TO DO AMERICA.
New Englan6crs Will Discover This
Fact Soon.

Gov. Toolo has appointed two Montana
newspaper men to represent the State at
the Salt Lake City convention which is to
promote the doctrine See America First"
1t is we'll known OF all travellers and
freely admitted by truth-tellers, that no
country In tho world Gun equal the scenic
marvcls and the natural health resorts Of
America, The tourist and globe trotter
OF the Eastern States usually knows less
about the Western States than about
Europe or the Orient
Dwellers OF New England are yet filled
With the idea that 1t is easier TO do
Europe than to tour the Rocky noun

watering places OF the old World are
denscly populated, fully equipped with
their pleasure there comes as much OF
being seen as of seeing Time was when
the complaint of hardship ard delay as
concomltants of American Western tray-
past The world does not know sWIfter
more comfortable or safer railroads than
those which now penetrate the scenic
splendors OF the West.
Within a decade the wondcrlands ~
the mountains have been furnished forth
with good hotels, good roads and other
comforts OF travel The Salt Lake con-
vention Will have done a good work n II

Yellowstone National park was visited
by 50 many tourists that Its accommo-
dations wero taxed to their capacity
There was no lack of company and Il was
company as cosmopolitan as any eyer

In all tho world there is not u place In
