Side 27 - The hind-quarters should be strong and muscular, quite free from droop or crouch ; the thighs long and powerful ; hocks near the ground, the dog standing well up on them, like a foxhound, without much bend in the stifles.
Side 288 - A dozen of the figures are wonderful. Altogether a western, autochthonic phase of America, the frontiers, culminating, typical, deadly, heroic to the uttermost — nothing in the books like it, nothing in Homer, nothing in Shakspere ; more grim and sublime than either, all native, all our own, and all a fact.
Side 27 - Jaws, upper and lower, should be strong and muscular and of fair punishing strength, but not so as in any way to resemble the greyhound or modern English terrier. There should not be much falling away below the eyes. This part of the head should, however, be moderately chiselled out, so as not to go down in a straight slope like a wedge. The Nose, towards which the muzzle must gradually taper, should be black. It should be noticed that although the foreface should gradually taper from eye to muzzle...
Side 503 - TO MAKE TWO HALF-HITCHES. Pass the end of the rope round the standing part, and bring it up through the bight — this is one half-hitch ; two of these, one above the other, constitute two halfhitches, as the annexed figure.
Side 367 - We ask that the sun will continue to shine on us and make all things grow. We ask that the moon may always give us light by night. We ask that the clouds may never cease to give us rain and snow. We ask that the winds from the east and west and north and south may always blow.
Side 289 - ... without panic, without fear, soldiers to the bitter end. When Curley had recovered from the shock, he told what he recalled through an interpreter, whose rendering was partly as follows : "Curley says he went down with two other Crows, and went into action with Custer. The General, he says, kept down the river on the north bank four miles, after Reno had crossed to the south side above. He thought Reno would sweep down the valley so that they could attack the Sioux villages on both sides, he...
Side 27 - He will thus attain the highest degree of propelling power, together with the greatest length of stride that is compatible with the length of his body. Weight is not a certain criterion of a terrier's fitness for his work. General shape, size, and contour are the main points ; and if a dog can gallop and stay, and follow his fox, it matters little what his weight is to a pound or so, though, roughly speaking, it may be said he should not scale over 2olb. in show condition.
Side 27 - ... cloggy, or in any way coarse. Speed and endurance must be looked to as well as power, and the symmetry of the foxhound taken as a model. The terrier, like the hound, must on no account be leggy ; neither must he be too short in the leg.
Side 27 - The dog must present a generally gay, lively and active appearance ; bone and strength in a small compass are essentials ; but this must not be taken to mean that a fox-terrier should be cloggy, or in any way coarse — speed and endurance must be looked to as well as power, and the symmetry of the foxhound taken as a model. The terrier, like the hound, must on no account be leggy, nor must he be too short in the leg.
Side 27 - Legs, viewed in any direction, must be straight, showing little or no appearance of ankle in front. They should be large in bone throughout, the elbows working freely just clear of the side.
