BETSY, PET DEER,
HAS HEADQUARTERS
AT ROTHMAN RESORT

Betsy, the -year-old pet deer that
calls the j. A. Rothman, ST., resort on
Bear Island lake, home, has enjoyed
a life span many times longer than
the average animal Of her species that
is allowed to roam freely through the
woods after being domesticated.
Given to Mr. RotSman when about
two weeks old, after apparently being
struck by a hit-and-run auto driver,
the fawn was bottle fed at the resort
for four months and then given her
freedom Ever since then she has
made the place her headquarters, even
bringing in her offspring.
Betsy spends most of the spring,
summer, and fail in the woods, coming
in regularly, however, during the tour
ist season for the affectionate attention
lavished on her by the visitors to the
resort.
Here comes Betsy" is a familiar ex-
clamation along about evening time,
and then everyone gathers around and
strokes her back, pulls her ears, and
permits her TO bury her cold, soft nose
in their hands. Choice eatables are
turned down, even tobacco, the ice
cream" of the deer family, which is
another unusual trait of the pet.
During the winter, however" Mr..
Rothman states, shell eat anything
and everything, even raw onions. The
caretaker feeds her regularly, and she
stays within the fence-enclosed garden,
where we now have her for protection
against any heavy SHOWS that might
come late and make feed scarce"
Every spring Betsy comes in with
her fawn, and once she brought in
twins" he said. The youngsters are
not very tame and spend most Of the
time in the woods waiting for their
mother to come out" Mr.. Rothmar
has not had much luck demonstrating
them.
Regularly at the start Of the hunting
seasons Betsy has come into the resor1
and has as much as said, Here am
lock me up" She has obligingly beer
taken care Of and has been successful
in surviving where other tame dec
have been slaughtered. As an identi1-
cation mark, Betsy has ribbon AROUND
her neck.
Tootsie, female hound that Mr. Roth.
man has had at his resort for the pas
nine years, and Betsy are great friends
shifting noses and acting not at all likl
the ordinary dog and deer.

the fishing scenes. scored hit at the
Navy Pier outdoor show at Chicago

persons who were at the exposition.

able optimism concerning the 1910 tour
ist season Pointing out that Port
Arthur, Lake of the Woods, and the
Province Of Ontario were not repre-
sented at the Navy Pier for the first
time in many years, he believes that
Canada, despite the drawing power
created by pegging the q. S. dollar at
s110, viii provide less competition Jnan
in recent years.
World fairs and travel by ocean viii
not detract from the recreational op-
portunities in the Arrowhead as in
the past, he said.
Reaction of the people attending both
the Chicago and the st. Louis show, at
which the club was also represented,
was very good, he continued. Resorters
were successful in obtaining a number
of reservations for this summer
Besides the Fort Wayne show, it is
possible that the club may be repre-
sented at Cincinnati, Immediately fol-
