Instead of banging away at them with a gun— as other big game‘hunters do—it is as though “Major Jack” were saying ccaxir.g’y : “Come, pussy—pussy, pussy, come, pussy. Come along and play with your harmless old friend, ‘Major Jack.’ ” Now, any- naturalist will teil you that curiosity is cv:n more highly de­ veloped jn a wiki animal than in a human being. For generations these wild and fetoeious jungle beasts have been hunicd by men with guns and a r rnue of SiooJ-thircty natives. The cider ones know a gun when they see if, and well remember the pungent smell of burning powder.
