BIG BEARS IN ALASKA.
Region of Far Northwest Greatest
 Place for Chase of Bruin.

From the Chicago Post.
 There is good bear hunting on the Alaskan peninsula. l got seven grizzlies one afternoon, all of them within quarter of a mile and not over half an hours time. The smallest of them was a 3-year-old, and I should say they av eraged 2000 pounds. It took 13 cartridges to bring the seven down."
 Grant G. Chase. hunter and prospec- tor who for ii years has spent most of his time in the Alaskan wilds, crossed his knees in reminiscent fashion at the sherman House this morning and told a few bear stories on the eye of re- turning to his ravorite haunts.
 To one whose gunning lore is limited to such comparatively tame exploits as those of President Roosevelt in his strcn- uous days on the trail. these accounts of big game in the far north are likely to awaken wonder. but seven bruins all at once is nothing to excite insredulity, ac oording to Mir Chase. It's a poor days tramp that does not yield four or five big fellows.
 Then, for corroboration, there is the testimony of Mrs. Chase, who for several
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-24

years has shared her husbands life, and who has kept a diary wherein is faith fully recorded the number of bear, car ibou, sea otter, and other fur bearers brought down daily, and careful meas urement of the biggest skins.
 'I suppose I have killed 500 or 600 bears altogether" continued MT. Chase. 'Ot course a good deal of my time has been given to some copper properties l am in terested in, or the number might have been much larger. At one time and an other have hunted bear pretty much all through the Rockies but there ism t. another place to equal the Alaskan pen insula.
 Big? Well, I'll tell you. Those bears up there are the largest in the world. full grown male weighs from 2000 to 2500 pounds The skin of the largest fel- low | ever killed measured 13 feet inches long and 1S feet } inches spread from toe-nail to toe-nail. l can lift as much as the average man. but I'm telling it straight when l say that with Mrs. Chase to help me, l couldn't turn that fellow over on his back to skin him.
 Twenty feet is the nearest a bear, bent on mischief, ever got to me. An old female. and whose cub I had brought down, came for me one day and she was mad She was 60 or 70 yards distant and in a bunch of alder when l took my first shot at her. She got up and came out
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-24

into the clearing and then she saw me and came for me in earnest. I worked my gun pretty rapidly and the shots took effect. She was about six paces away when she dropped.
 Mrs. Chase and I got scare once, though in rather a ludicrous way. l had three camps in a lonely region where fer three years Mrs. Chase never saw white woman. I had put up 'bavraias, or houses, of drift wood, the only kind available. We, were going from one camp to another when l brought down a bear.
 We were in no hurry, so we stopped, built a fire and had some lunch. After lunch-about an hour after the shoot ing-we went down into a gulch where the bear was lying. Mrs. Chase was car rying an aluminium teapot. 1 got her to help me turn the bear over, and I was about to remove his hide when the big fellow suddenly came to. life
 You should have seen Mrs. Chase go up that hillside. The best of it was in spite of her haste, she took time to res

GRAY DAYS OF AUTUMN
BY MRS. SAM WILL JOHN.

Through the rotous festoons of English ivy that fall from our arched roof-way, we sec leaden-hued sky. The gray clouds have met and hang close in unison to pour out some blessing to man. The air so still yet cool, must portend snow. those little wee pure white flakes, yet in a body, fall a marvellous fructifier and benefactor to earth.
 From this absolute silence, as if the world had stopped upon it's axis comes a note of inquiry. This quiet concentrates thought. The white rose, our pride and beauty, that chambers upon the northern porch, it's petals so like they lived within the touch of Angels keeping. perfumed with their breath of purity, is now scorched and blighted from a nipping and an eager air As the bright faces of the flowers pass, there comes another
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-24

change of color as Illuminating, as force- full in this great world of life.
 Color is a note of growth, changing with every period of plant existence. This grayness that now covers all things is one of natures colors. As these useful, gray days of nature come, so we need the gray days in the soul. Like the flow CTS, growth comes from this deep in- drawing to the root; to. our very ances- tral springs of veins, blood and heart. This knowledge but gives us power to find the sun on the top of gloom; to help us on to love and truth, that hidden from the superficial eye, lie strong and warm in true soul. Too much day tinctures often into a show of scoloring that soon pales and fades. The soul must have shadow, must have rest days to garner strength for bloom.
