DOGS THAT WEIGH A POUND.

Every Mexican owns at least one Chi
huahua ehiquita dog. They are beautiful
little creatures ana Of two varieties-one
with long, silky hair, the other with a
short, smooth coat that is soft as velvet

specimens that weighed a trIfle over "A

Of field mice. They have large, expires

CITY OF CHIHUAHUA, MEX, Dec. 13.--
Chihuahua is the paradise of dogs. Every
little jaekal has dozen lean, lank, hungry
ours, who rush out at you when you ride
up, yelping and barking, and if you are
not armed with a stout cuarte and lay it
about you Justify it is more than likely
that the CANNES will distend their gaunt
stomachs over several pounds of your
anatomy. There are generally four varie-
ties, the largest a great shagg y-coated,
long-muzzled, small-eared brute, Of a
dingy yellow color, dashed with gray A
naturalist friend OF mine tells me that
they are hybrids, the cross being between
the common coyote, or prairie WOLF and
the Chihuahua Grande, or big chihuahua
dog. They have fierce sullen tempeTs, are
not amenable TO kind treatment aud liter
ally know no master.
A ranchman OF my acquaintance had
one of these nybrids, which was cross
between a shepherd dog and r coycote.
He was particularly fine watchdog, and
when placed on guard over anything
would never leave IL until called OF.
was at the ranch one day and killed and
dressed a sheep for the ranchman's wife,
lacking the fleecy pelt ON the single door
OF a small adobe building that was used
as a milk and storage house for provis-
ions. This dog, who had the euph0niOus
name OF hetch, Witnessed the butchering
and followed me to the door OF the store
house when nailed up the pelt.
Watch it, old fellow" ] said, and
pointed TO the skin.
He obediently laid down at the door
and rested his nose on his paws. | was
camped about 10 miles from the ranch
house, and was considerably surprised
late the next day when the ranchman's lit
lite son rode into camp and asked me II |
would not accompany MIN home and call
off the dog.
"We've tried TO coax him away and
drive him away" he said, ''but he won't
bulge, and pap hates to Kill him."
Astonished beyond measure at the
fidelity and sagacity OF the dog, I accom-
panied my little friend back 20 his fathers
ranch and word TO the brute relieved
him OF his guardianship, but the ranch
man took down the hide.
In some parts Of Texas and the Ter
ritOries these hybrids are quite numerous,
are wild aud roam the plains and noun
tains in packs. They will attack any
thing, and a colored soldier Of the Tenth
Cavalry, who was doing courier duty, had
a narrow escape from death once at the
jaws Of these ferociOus animals. who
rushed in and attacked him at his soil.

aged to get 10 his horse and mount. He
was obliged to abandon his pack pony
and his ratiOns and blankets. The wolves
killed and devoured the first and destroy

FAITHFUL DOGS.


The Chihuahua Grande dog is first
cousin to the collie and is possessed Of
wonderful intelligence. The MexIeans
educate them TO tend their flOcks and
herds and they perform the duty with
more fidelity and satisfaction than man.
They will take flock of sheep or herd Of
goats out in the morning, drive them to
the feeding grounds, defend them from the
attack of predatory ''varmints" and bring
them back to the bedding place az night
without losing single animal. They tell
a story Of one of these dogs that will bear
repeating.
1t was up in New Mexico, at an isolat-
ed ranch, which was one OF system con-
trolled by a wealthy sheepman. He or
one of his agents usually visited 1t twice a
year to shear the sheep and take provis-
ions 70 the pastOra, or herder. On one Of
these semi-annual visits he found the
herder dead in his cabin and his body
nearly decomposed. The sneep were
quietly feeding in fertile canyon near by
jealousy guarded by the dog. In the rear
OF the corral into which the sheep were
driven every night lay the bleaching
skeletons of dozen or more sheep. AS.
tonished at he sagacity of the dog, the
ranchman secreted himself and waited
until night. AS the son began to sink the
sheep came trO0ping in, with the dog in
the rear. They crowded into the corral
through narrow opening and as the last
one pushed forward the dog seized and
killed him and dragged the lifeless body
to the rear OF the corral. where he made
a comfortable supper off portion OF the
carcass, leaving the balance for future
meals. He had been doing this ever since
the death Of his master and would pro-
baby have continued his guardianship
over the flock until be died.
No Mexican Kennels complete without
two or three pelon or hairless dogs, who
are the most worthless ours that il was
ever my i'll fortune TO know anything
about. They are OF a dirty blue color,
have sharp pointed ears and do nothing
but loll in the sun or crouch before a fire
shivering with cold. Pelon is a Mexican
lam meaning gift and they probably cal
led these hairless creatures pelon dogs be-
cause you have TO give man some
thing to take one as a present. They
are Ill-natured, mean, aTrant thieves and
with not a single good trait in their char
aQteT.
