I ' ' : DOGS and yet more los. Alfhou.v.h a large number of the local jaip-. jaip-. ulation may not yet real'dze it, Salt Lake is filled to almost overflowing with some cf the best dog:-! to be found in the country. There seems to be no iniit to the various kinds and breeds which are represented, for they rano from tlio rarest of rare specimens ' to the more common, although al-though equally "well loved, types. Two ot the -latest aristocrats to be unearthed are o w nod by Mrs. L . T . Drey fuss, (509 South Mai n. They a re a King Charles spaniel and a 1'reheh poodie, respectively. Both are ladies ' doggies, and answer to the names of The Widow Wise and just plain liahc. Keedless to say, they ' et alon well with each other, quarrels over bom. s and other do.gr delicacies being- absolutely absolute-ly taboo. Both ' creatures are jiri.cd very highly- by their niircss, v.-ho would not part, with them . for the world. ' ' Wid. , as she is affectionately called, is said to be the only KinVj Charles spaniel in this part of the country. coun-try. She is an unusually good specimen ot this kind of toy spaniel, wi'lh eyes largo and far apart, and cars lone;, droopino-. and silky. Her coat throughout through-out is lone; and 'silky, slightly wavy, and her hair a ''pure biack-nnd-tan color. ""Wid" is now six years old. The Toy. Spaniel. There are four distinct types of the English toy spaniel, namely, the King (.' harlcs, the 1'rine e C h a rl e s, the Knit y Spaniel and the Blenheim Spaniel. Tin y arc r.o doubt of common origin ami can dividuality. As its name indicates, it came originally from iSpa;n a'hout the time of ICing Charles .1. But its pedi-jireo pedi-jireo dates a long way farther back tlian. that and the breed was probably imported into Spain from China or Japan. The King Charles or the bluck-and-tan spaniel was the special favif-rite favif-rite of Kintc Charles 11. This was in , the early part of the seventeenth ceu- ' tu ry. I'or a time it was reported that a special research was made up to fiud nut if the black-and-ta n King; Churte spaniel had any co7uic;-tiou at, all wilh the monarch, it has been named after, but with poor success. Jt cannot be determined as to whether this liKle Ly doe; -was the favorite of Kinu" Chari;.s or not, but the belief that the blacl;-aud-taa spianiel was the pet of the monarch mon-arch has become so much of a conviiv tion that the do;"j has been :-;em rally accepted .bv all as t ho favorite of Kin"" Charles 1L A fact that strengllnur the belief 'that it was the royal pet is that in all of King" Charles It's pur-traits pur-traits there were painted- fi'ur.'s ot spaniels. Different Types. All the toy. spaniels except the Lien-hoims Lien-hoims or llarlboruughs, as they were sometimes called, went under the prefix of Kincr Charles up to modern lines when, they were eherued to tic names they now hear.
