Nor yet cows, because the leopards get the calves--leastways, that's to say unless you watch out awful cautious.
Nor yet you can't keep pigeons, 'cause the leopards take them too.

I sent to England for fancy pigeons--a dozen of em.

Leopards got all but one, so I put him in the loft above my own house, where it seemed to me 'tweren't possible for a leopard to get, supposin' he'd dared.

Went away the next day for some shootin', an' lo and behold!--came back that evenin' to discover my cook an' three others carryin' on as if Kingdom Come had took place at last.

Never heard or saw such a jamboree.
