274 THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 
hard to overcome. If awakened too suddenly from sleep or barred from 
any place that she wished to go she showed teeth and claws quite freely. 
She could be handled by some persons much more easily than by 
others, in fact, she ‘‘bluffed out’’ some people altogether eyen while 
she was so small. The twelve-year-old girl shown in the picture seemed 
to have more control over her than anyone else. She could carry Tiger 
around the house in her arms, 
A prettier little animal than Tiger was at this time could searcely 
be found. As she climbed around the furniture in the house, played on 
the floor, or lay curled up asleep on the couch, she was prettier than 
any picture could show her. 
During the past few weeks she has grown quite rapidly and is fast 
losing her friendliness with everyone. She has also acquired an appe- 
tite for chicken and duck and shows no gentle disposition when 
whipped and driven away from the chickens. It has recently become 
necessary to put her in a cage, where, strange to say, she seems quite 
contented. She purrs quite loudly as she lays on her deer skin bed, but 
spits and growls much louder if one steps up to the cage when she does 
not want to be disturbed. 
SAY, DID YOU? 
By VERNE BRIGHT, Beaverton, Oregon, 
Did you ever go a-fishing 
On a sunny day in June, 
All rigged out with rod and hip-boots, 
Silken line and reel and spoon— 
Say, did you? 
Did you ever go a-marathon 
Over rock and over stone? 
Did you think that all the troutlets 
To the pesky war had gone? 
Say, did you? 
When the sun hung lowly, lowly, 
In the West—how did you feel 
To come trudging homeward—slowly— 
Nary troutlet in your creel? 
Say, how did you? 
WOLF AFTER DEER SLAIN IN LINN COUNTY 
Clyde Rucker, of Lacomb, Linn County, went swimming in Crabtree 
Creek in August. He had just climbed out of the stream to dress when 
a five-point buck deer plunged out of the woods and off the bank into 
the water where Rucker had been an instant before. The plunge of the 
animal probably would have killed Rucker had he not changed his 
location. 
Following the deer was a large gray wolf. Rucker could see on 
the legs of the deer where the wolf had bitten it in the chase. He went 
to the home of Mr. Clark, and the two, with guns, set out after the 
wolf and killed it. Mr, Clark received a total bounty of $25 on the skin 
of the wolf.
