By PAUL JENKINS 5 - A PORCUPINE, which had the poor taste and bad judgment to wander down from Mt. Nebo and onto the premises of Mr. and Mrs. Milford Cyrus at 1158 Military street, Roseburg, some evenings ago. Mr. Cyrus and Pete Smith, a next door neighbor, relieved him summarily of the burden of life. They hung his carcass in a tree where I saw it the next morning and took a picture of it, with nine-year-old Virginia Cy rus, who wasn't as afraid of its needles as she might have been. I suppose fhe old boy would weigh about 20 lbs. He had lost many of his quills in the pound ing he had received; but an enor mous number remained, hidden beneath long, co?rse hair, which may or may not show in the pic ture above.

His tribe is not particularly numerous in this part of the country. I think he sustains his appetite on a diet of bark, although I wouldn't know for sure. Like his contemporary, the skunk, he has certain physi cal properties which have so far discouraged me from delving too closely into his personal habits. For some hundreds of years naturalists have claimed that a "porky" doesn't "throw" his quills (when ?o inclined) as many ot us suppose lie does; but if one gets In your hide it's just as un comfortable as if he did. Inciden tally, if you're hungry enough, it is reliably reported that a porcu pine furnishes mighty good eat ing. 'Follow Me' Fans 1 '':r'5:h yoifnl I From Portland N. A.
