I SAW

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.

A porcupine 'hasn't got much
sense, althougn like some people
in the same fix he may have a
lot of learning. 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
