“Red-letter days are those that contain these “heap o’ things” in abundance – or at least in such nice balance as to have produced a perfect picture on the whole — a picture that is destined to endure, being painted on memory’s canvas in colors that cannot fade. It is of such a long-ago day that I am writing now. The artist’s hand was firm and true — there being not even the slightest slip of the brush to mar the picture that is still painted in my mind. Perhaps, therefore, it may bear telling — although I warn you now to be prepared for nothing but a very simple story, in which a succession of big little things stand out in bold relief.”

“Jack’s lyin’ up back of Nome now, boys, in a reg’lar grave with a reg’lar headstone better’n any other in all that country – even over humans. An’ from that day to now I ain’t never willfully fought a dog o’ mine – an’ never will again. Wouldn’t own no dog as couldn’t fight – but none o’ mine’ll ever have to fight again just fer money. I’ve seen ‘nough o’ pit fights to last me.”

“In the field trails, there are certain fundamental requisites for the winner who is sufficiently outstanding to engrave his name upon the highest annals of fame. He must have the hunting instinct and the desire to go. He must have a faultless nose, as well as good judgement about likely places for game, so as not to waste a lot of valuable time in hunting out his ground. He must go as fast as his nose will let him and as wide as the country permits or occasion requires. He must have purpose in his running, as well as style and animation in all his movements, especially in his attitudes on game. Whether he be working in close, or far out on the line of the horizon, he must always respond to signals from his handler; and yet—delicate distinction—he must have a mind of his won and not depend too much upon his handler. In short, he must be independent and at the same time lend himself to control.”
