In the old days. hn all wild beasts were leas shy than att-present, there was ' more .danger frqm the cougar, and this was espec ially true In the dark canebrakes of some of the Southern States, where the mailt a oougar was most likely to en counter was a nearly naked and un armed negro.

Just as they reached it it came to, and seized one. killing him instantly with a couple of savage bites in the throat and chest, it then raced toward the other, and. as he sprung on his horse, struck him across the buttocks. Inflicting a deep but not dangerous scratch. I saw this survivor a year Jator. He evinced great reluct ance to talk of the event, and Insisted that the thing which had 'slain his companion was not really a cougar at all, but a devil. A she-couanr does not often attempt to avent?e the loss of hor young, but sometimes nlic dws. A remarkable i:. stance of this kind happened to my friend, Professor John Each McMas ler, in 1875. We was camped near the hoad of Oreen R!ver, Wyoming. One afternoon ha found a couple of cougar kittens, Vnd took them into camp; they were clumsy, playful, friendly lit tle creature. The next afternoon he remained in camp with the cook. Happening to look up he suddenly spied the mother cougar running noiselessly dawn on them, her eyes glaring and tail twitching. Sna'ohing up his rifle, he killed her when she was barely twenty yards distant. A ranchman, named Trescott, who was at one time my neighbor, told me that while he was living on a sheep farm in the Argentine, he found pumas very common, and killed many. They were very destructive to sheep and colts, but were singularly cowardly when dealing with men. Not only did they never attack human beings, un der any stress of hunger, but they made no effeyive resistance when brought to hay. merely scratching and cuffing like a big cat. so that, if found in a cave. It was safe to creep in and shoot them with a-reoIver. Jaguars, on the contrarjvwcre very dangerous antagonists. Practical Cape mow wwmw NP tiv.
