LATE BOOK NEWS

There is something about bears in
the latest bear book Not much, but
enough to hold interest. There is much
that is interesting. 1t is dedicated TO
one bear in particular and to ninety
nine others in general. Most OF the
space in the Book of a Hundred Bears
is given to breezy and quite enthusl-
astic account of a tour through that
wonderland, the park, but it Involves
some explanation of how to get there,
and almost on the first page of the
book the reader is caught by one OF
those qualities which appeal strongly
to the American temperament, that is
humor-the ability to see the humor-
Gus side in almost all things, and to say
what one sees in a way bright enough
to be accepted for wit, and yet not
to be offensive to anybody, bit slangy,
perhaps, but not more than is fash
ionable.
The larger part of the book Is given
to an enthusiastically appreciatiVe de-
scriptive account of Yellowstone park
1.-THE most wonderful region in the
world" Others have written glowing
descriptions of it, and felt that all
words they could command fell short
of portraying it's marvels.
The book has something about bears
and, despite it's slang, is we'll written
and amusing.
