Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     If Henry V. Rice, a boy of Miami county, Kan., had been an Indian, his fame and name would have been made now. He lately brought a large she-wolf to bay, and had no gun or other instrument of death, except his naked hands. The wolf sprang at him, and young Rice caught the animal by the ears. Then there was a struggle of life and death between the boy and the wolf. It was brains against teeth, and the instinct of rapacity. The battle was long and fierce. At length brains prevailed, and the wolf was in the position of under dog. She was slain even as Samson slew the lion. The boy’s clothing was damaged, but otherwise he was as good as ever. If he had been an Indian he would have been called “She Wolf,” and his fame would have gone forth among all the tribes. As he is the son of a civilized white man he has to be satisfied with a newspaper notice.
