es beautiful trophy called the “Fos- 
‘ter Cup” is presented each year for 
the heaviest tuna taken under club 
‘rules and the winner’s name is en- 
-graved thereon. The cup is held by 
the winner during the season follow- 
ing its award. I am ambitious and 
hope some day to have my name in- 
‘scribed along with such famous fisher- 
men as William Payne Thompson, Hon. 
Rowland Hazzard, A. Julian Crandall, 
William Wilson, Alvah Miller and Rob- 
ert S. Hale. 
My professor friend has written 
“saying he has ordered his tackle and 
would like to join me again on my next 
trip to Block Island and I most sin- 
-ecerely hope I can accommodate him. 


He has the making of a great fisher- 
man, although he probably doesn’t 
know it, and as Izaak Walton has been 
quoted, I now repeat, “If I can but 
hold him.” 
The Biography of a Bear 
(Continued from page 456) 
just pawing the hay around to suit 
her. 
OR the next two weeks she ate very 
little, but weighed at this time one 
hundred pounds. Quite a start for be- 
ing born in February of the same year 
and only weighing two pounds at birth. 
I knew that she should have some 
mountain ash berries just before going 
in for the winter, as they are nature’s 
purgative for the bear. I did not have 
time to make the long climb to get them 
and the next thing I knew I was called 
away and did not get back for a week. 
During this time they told me that she 
had slept three days in the new den 
but had been crying for the last few 
days. I went out to see about her and 
she immediately quieted down, but 
when I started to leave she took one of 
my hands in her mouth and apparently 
tried her best without hurting me to 
get me to go into the den with her. 
She was just lonesome, for the first 
year the cub always hibernates with 
the mother. She went in for the winter 
the day before Thanksgiving and has 
been there ever since. The fore part 
of March will see her emerge and then 
if one is around to see her eat they 
will understand the expression “as hun- 
gry as a bear.” Every few days I go 
to her den to see if she is all right but 
I never stay more than a moment for 
she always shows signs of waking and 
wrinkles up her nose and wiggles her 
ears when I go near. 
ie may take up with the wild bear 
this summer and if she does it will 
be lonesome, but a relief to be rid of 
the expense of her awful appetite. I 
have learned many things from her, 
the most important being that animals
