fished up out of the potholes, and by morn

IF you want to see bear fishing though,
continued the angler, you should go to
Alaska. Some years ago | made a four
months hunt on Admiralty Island where the
giant bears of the world live, big fellows
weighing over twelve hundred pounds and
looking as large as short legged bison.
NV guide told me that the bears know when
the salmon runs begin as well as a man.
and that he has seen them tossing out
salmon like fisherman, standing right up

bears took the prize l don't know that
they weigh any more than a good grizzly,
but certainly a big brown or kadiak bear

than a grizzly. He seems to have a hump

traordinarv affair; and whom Mr.. Ursus is

The reporter was still pondering over
this state of affairs when he and the general
sales manager alighted from a City Line

old Bergen Landing road They were
already three miles from Richmond Hill
and going south
After a walk Of about mile and n half
the end of the rond was reached. On all
sides stretched the grass covered marshes
of Jamuicl Bay. Far on to the right a
train numbered along the tresJIe which
spans the bay and connects the beaches
at Rockaway with the city. A sixty knot
breeze rushing unrestricted across mile

kind of start. and saw not $50 feet away a
cinnamon bear--he looked "a big as an OK
10 me
Al first | thought he was bathing, as he
stood shoulder deep in the stream, standing
as still and quiet as a statue; but all at once
he gave a side blow, a sort Of dipping mo-
tion, with his paw. and a thirty pound
salmon went whiZzing OUT into shallow
water, Mr.. Bear gallOping after him.
The salmon kicked up a tremendous fuss,
leaping half out rolling over, and would
have got away. but the bear nailed him
with one Of his terrible claws. dragged him
out and began TO eat him, cub coming
out Of the bush to share the feast.
Il had an idea that the bear stood in the
water until he felt a salmon run against
his legs, as they were 80 thick at times that
the river seemed to be q solid mass of fish.
but il seemed too much Of a fish story.

AT the ofice Of MeachaIu \ Son in Park
row. At the far end Of y suite OF Offices on
the ninth floor was half open door marked
Private" Inside were f. r.. Meaoham
and son themselves. with heads close to-
gether. The elder Meachsm raised his
head and smiled benevOlently az the re-
porter from behind q pair Of long and silky
white whiskers. The younger partner
jumped up and vigorously pumped the
hand of the reporter greeting him even
more heartily when the reporter spoke Of
buying lots
After praisng the property the younger
Neacham marked OF on a map several
little rectangles representing lOts which
he said he knew would please the reporter
The latter said he would like 10 see the lots
before making a purchase.
Then ensued a whispered conversation
in an adjoining room. and a great scurry-
ing around Finally T.. z. Meacham ap-
peared again with a beardless young
chap who was introduced as the general
sales manager. Under his guidance the
tour Of inspection was begun.
A Long Island Railroad train carried the
A. les manager and the reporter ont to
Queens station. three miles beyond la
maica. From here they walked couple
OF miles until they reached a rolling stretch
Of open country.

pulled out a map. looked az il a moment
and then gave a long low whistle Of sur
prise.

are only six lots left. tl75 each is the price.

This was a jolt to the reporter. as il
seemed a stiff raise from $40 To eucour-

a narrow gnlley ten or fifteen feet below
the level Of the street. For this reason
the p ice has been reduced TO Sil5.
-One Of the greatest bargains We have, I"
said the agent.
Having inspected jamaica Square the
reporter expressed desire to have a look
at Richmond Hill Circle" Then ensued
"A long trolley ride.
II may be stated here that the firm adver-
tises that property will not be shown on
sunday The buyers are in the main
clerks and other employees with leisure on
few days save Sunday.
In the Park row office the reporter saw
a chart u Richmond Hill Circle" which
contained one striking feature. At the
top OF the map appeared a winding stream
known "a Doughty Greek. which flowed

200 SEA ANEMONES
