ySeton Thompson’s Lecture*“•If I had only known it”—is- the expression that is, and will be heard from-many people, who failed to hear Seton-Thompson last night in the Y. M. O. Al Those who did go were: given a treat that they will always remember with great pleasure and profit. .Mr.’ Thompson began by saying that animals are not as many scientists claim,—mere machines;—but that they have the power of thought, communication—can detect danger, and that while they may not have the intellect of man, their senses are far more acute. •'Tie lectured in story fashion and from the beginning of • his story about the foxes until his tragic description of the deatli of. Lobo, the • terrible.' wolf, he held • the . intense interest of all.■ The facts that he brought out. with reference to wild' animals were a ievelation and - highly instructive. His tale of the .two bears ‘ ‘ Grumpy and Little .Johnny” and of their numerous adventures,. especially with old grizzly, ' frequently set the audience roaring with laughter. As he told, of Lobo, his awful depredations, his capture and death, ' every one sat spell.bound under Mr. Thompson’s magic - descriptions. To put the whole thing in a nut shell—“it was simply great” and those who missed it let a golden opportunity, slip by unused.SiEmBE’GL
