"a cat will fall on it's feet always,

back" commented an old hunter as we
galloped through one of the mountain
hollows in southwestern Missouri. q

"a rubber back?" incredulously.
"Sure's you're born. A coon'll fall
from the topmost branch of the tallest
tree on it's back every time. The fall
would kill any other animal. How
about the coon? He just punches up
in the air about rs feet like rubber
ball and comes down on dogs neck.
Why, I've seen coon bound like ba-
by's rubber ball.
II have been told--I've never seen il
that the coon's favorite amusement
is bouncing. One'll drop from tree
and bounce; then another'll drop and
bounce, and they'll keep that up by the
hour. So say coon has a real rubber
