The reports were not very bad. but
the IDS" on some of them were
neither frequent nor far between. and
the fact that they received deficient

the darkest dungeons OF despair AS

Good things are coming our way
thick and fast this year. As we have
had many splendid addresses BY wen
known men in the state and country
and besides We have had some splea-
did musical programs. and 20 al our
cup OF pleasure to oyerflowing We
mad two splendid talks Tuesday by
men who have made their mark In
the world. and their speeches were
well received by the students. The
nrst speaker was Enos A. Mills. the
famous Colorado naturalist. who gave
a very eniightening talk on the Wild
animals he has met in the mountains
Of Colorado Mr.. Mills has camped In
every state In the country. and in
British Columbia and Alaska. and
on none Of his trips has he ever taken
any firearms. lie says the best way
To get acquainted with Wild animals
and TO keep them from harming you
is to never carry a weapon Of any
sort and you will be safe. Among the
many inte-eAting and enlightening
things he said there were only two
kinds OF bears in the United States.
the grizzly and the black bear The
idea that there are many different
kinds OF beam In this country arises
from the fact that many black bears
are sometimes brown or cinnamon
color. but these bears. commonly
known as cinnamon bear. commonly
other than the black bear The difsr-
ence between the black and grizzly
bear is the color of the fur on their
feet.
Mr.. Mills caught two bear cubs 1t
one time and raised them until they
we're grown. He educated them as well
as a bear can be educated and tanned.
but they finally became too much for
MIN and he sent them TO the roo in
the Denver city park and they are
stili there The talk by Mr.. Mills was
very much enjoyed by the students
and thay all are together in hoping
that we may again have a talk by
hi mon natures beauties.
