EL TOVAR HOTEL, GRAND CANYON. THE YOSEMITE. The Yosemite LORY over me! I have seen Yosemite. Never were such wonders seenon earth elsewhere. The apostle was caught up into the third heav-ens and saw things his tongue could not describe. Did he have a glimpseof the wonderful Valley? Human language is an evolution of human experience,and words are fitted to express thoughts which are the outgrowth of usual experi-ences.
