required to act as axmen. Three
or four lively black-aud-tan terriers
accompanied the command, affording no
little amusement by their activity in snap
ping up unwary gophers, rats, mice and
other vermin. The aborignes who fire.

claiming to be "Good Indian, me-" were

me:
"Nantanh, heap good dog"

fixed for you"
Next day, my Navajo friend appeared
with small, black Indian fist, sporting a
long tail and ears to correspond. Unroll-
ing the quadruped from his blanket, he sig
nified desire to have the job done without
delay so he called two men, and babe one
hold the dog while the other locked his
tail with an ak. This did not suit Red
skin, who refused TO trust his favorite to the
tender mercies of savage white man, and
preferred to perform the operation himself.
/ therefore ordered one of the men to hold
the dogs tail over convenient log, while
the other held his head and fore paws. All
being ready, the Indian seized an ak, but
instead of using il as any other perSon
would have done, he swung the blade high
above his head with both hands, as if the
object to be separated required his whole
strength. just then the soldier who held
the tail gave it sudden pull, while the
other at the head gave corresponding
push. Down came the keen weapon, divi-
ding the unfortunate 'purp" just forward
of the hind quarters, to the infinite disgust
Of the Indian, who picked up the disjointed
halves, threw his blanket over his Shout
ders with indescribable dignity, and ex-
claimed in cultural accents, ugh! -!
