the bench shows he is carrying off all the
honors.
The mastiff is also a most docile crea-
ture, but he Will not suffer 1ndignIty or rid
icule. To catch mastiff's eye and laugh
at him is pretty sure to provoke his an
ger; to treat him with disrespect is very
apt to arouse in him an unapproachable
herceness. But all in all the masun is
the gentlest OF dogs, the best protector
of property and safest companion OF chill
dren OF all of his race. Notwithstanding
ing these indisputable facts the mastif
in America today is in disrepute ami
suffers from an undeserved charge of
SaVageneSs and treacherouS untruSt-
worthiness. The cause of this disrepute
is very plain TO those who know the his
tory of the maStiff in this country and
who also know what the consequences
are when homogeneous families Of dogs
are interbred. The maStin fifteen years
ago was 50 popular that he was in con-
slant demand at good prices. Breeders
who knew how TO select parents and
who were faithful TO correct principles
OF breeding could not supply the demand,
so the dog dealers and other scamps went
into the business Of supplying maStiffs.
They bred recklessly and every large dog
resembling the maStiff type was sold as
a mastiff. even though he had in him
only one-ouarter of mastim blood. These
mongrels and half-breeds were the dogs
whose actions in various parts of the
country have given the mastif a bad
name for many Of them were fierce and
treacherous and untractable. Now it is
well known TO all dog breeders that the
crossing of breeds more frequently than
not results in the elimination in the pro-
geny of all the good qualities of both
breeds and the eXaggeration OF the bad
qualities of both breeds. Why this should
be so l do not know, but it is true that
everv obserVant breeder of experience
asserts ii is an incontroYertible fact. The
mastiff is not the only dog that has SUI
fered from this cause and one of the
best results of the bench shows for dogs
is that none but purely bred animals can
be exhibited.
THE FOX TERRIER.
One OF the most attractive dogs bred
in manner and in habits is the most
gentlemanlike Of his race. He is clean,
scrupulously clean, nice in his taste,
courageous beyond belief, and as hand
some as a clean limbed thoroughbred
race horse. This type is probably the re-
suit OF careful crossing of the Eng
lish terrier and the Italian greyhound,
and he was originally bred for aud used
in the hunting field as an auxiliary of
went to ground the terrier would 10y
persistent swapping in the hole, whsre
he would follow, start the fox again.
But long ago the fox-hound became too
fast for the fox terrier and in his or
iginal occupation he became obsolete.
He was saved from extinction by his
own cheerful attracuVeness, for q more
companionable and lively fellow does
not exist. He is TO be sure, quite useful
or ground hogs. The Fox Terrier club
has liked the following standard, which
APPLIES alike to smooth and wire-haired
fox terriers:

The white men who contented himself
with a single wife he looked at with
contempt. The white man who could
not see the glory of human sacrifice
he deemed a heather. But the white
man and his magazine rifle he looked
up to with respect. How many pounds
of gold he gave for the fine rifles and
ammunition with which his army of
fifty thousand men are equipped no
one knows.

Anyone familiar with the work which
a pointer is required to do the field
will see the wisdom of this apportion-
ment, in every regard perhaps except
that Of color. which probably might
have been left out of the account en-
itrely and given over to the points ap-
portioned for legs and feet. But the
standard has been proved to be in the
main fair by the fact that the bench
show winners are pretty nearly always
good performers in the field. It is thought
that the fixed stand OF the pointer is
due to the modification and exaggera-
