Cornelius N. Bliss for the
vice-Presidency.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 5.--The regular

met here to-day and resolutions were
adopted endorsing President Mckinley,

and amid enthusiasm, Collector of the
Port, \. I. Wimberlcy, the Republican
National Committeeman from Louisiana.
The convention was unique in the his
tory of the State. A majority of dele
gates were white men. and there was
notable absence of that wranglins and
in;a-mony. which has gnerally charac-
terized Louisiana conventions. The fol-
lowing State ticket was nominated by
acclamation:

MUSK OK FLESH AS FooD.

Chicago Record: Professor Ko]thofY or
Stockholm, Sweden, who recent re-
turned from Greenland with a pair of
musk oxen, one of the objects of his
travels. believes these interesting ami
mails can be acclimatized in the north or
Sweden. In the matter of food he saws
they are as easily pleased as the AmerI-
can goat. A full-grown OK will weigh
between 1,4O0 and 1,5O0 pounds, and its
flesh is good eating. A few of the ami
mails We're also shot and their meat
taken for supplies. The flesh of the COW
was excellent. while. that of the bulf
seemed to have a flavor like musk. The
meat compared favorably with mutton,
and the expedition lived for no little
tim on the supply. The professor sailed
some and will serve it to his friends this
winter. Another item of value In the
animal is it's wool. 1t is very thick and
falls off every spring. 1t is as fine as the
wool of the sheep and the fibre is of
great strength. 1t is estimated that the
shearing of one OK will equal that of
twenty sheep.

some one was answering her.
What in the world a this be-" she
asked herself. 1T cannot be the echo,
for I am facing the sea-"
She advanced to the edge of the rock
and swinging her arms around a slen-
der tree she searched the wall of the
steep But it was quiet and
peaceful on the ford; not a bird flew
over it.
Aslaug returned to her grassy couch
and again began to sing. This time
h could not be mistaken, for it was
indeed a human voice that responded
to her yodel.
Again she rushed to the tree and
took a long look down the Aim. At
last she bcheld a boat moored to a
small branch that jotted out from the
rock. Only some fifty feet below her.
she saw a red cap, with a man under
it making it's way up the slippery side
when not even a mountain goat would
dare to tread.
h hurried back to her place, and
dared not utter a note or word for fear
that the intrepid wooer would be hurl-
ed down into the turbulent waters of
the ford. She knew very well who it
was, though she did not see his face.
She threw herself c. the ground and
held the long, heavy blades of grass
with both hands, as If 1T were her task
not to lose her grip on what vas once
seized. But the grass roots began to
loosen and in her despair she cried to
God to aid Thore with His Omnipotence.
Then again she began to think that
such an act of Thore and such a prayer
on her part were a gross temptation of
God NpVprf hp1aCC Chn continual hor
supplications. "Only this time, lear
Father in heaven, only this time" she
cried.
Then Aslaug slung her arms around
the dog as if it was Thore whom she
was trying to " from destruction
How long the time seemed! At last the
dog tore himself loose and began to
bark Justify.
Hush she warned, but the dog
would not be quieted and when she had
reached the animal to stop his noise
the red cap peeped over the edge of the
rock and the next minute Thore held
her in his arms.
They kissed and embraced each other
again and again, and Thore could not
utter a word. and what he finally aid
contained not an idea of nationality.

heard of There's daring feat, said

rubbed it lightly up and down the MUIR

Gilmore ~groaned, but rose and took the
saw.
She led the way to the w~oodshed with
the lamp.
There it lowered before them, a full
cord indeed, across one side of the shed
like a Chinese wall. 1t was shellbark
hickory, and rather knotty.
For the next three hours no sound
was heard i'm that woodshed save the
ripping and rasping of that saw, as it
leaped like a living thing through those
doomed sticks of wood. The cool air
was logged with sawdust. The raucous
uproar only ceased m~omentarily as the
young man paused and Agnes applied
the bacon rind off the end of a splinter
to the hot and quivering blade, on which
it Kissed and sputtered.
At last the task was done, and the

TIMIDITY OF FISHES.

Visitors at the Aquarium are required
to check their umbrellas and canes in
the lobby.
i wonder why?" said one. There are
no pictures here to be marred, nor any
statuary or anything of that sort to
break"
NO" sail an attendant, but there are
fishes to scare. If visitors are allowed
to carry canes and umbrellas about with
them they are likely, thoughtlessly, to
point with them at fishes in the tanks.
or they might tap on the glass with
them to start the fishes up so as to see
them ins motion. Many fishes are very
sensitive and easily frightened. They
might be so started by umbrellas and
canes in the hands of visitors as to rush
off, anywhere to get away and to run
against a wall and do themselves injury
by the shock or perhaps kill themselves.
Such things may actually happen, as in
fact they have happened. And so it is
required that all umbrellas and canes
shall be checked"
W~hereupon this visitor put his I'M
brella check into his pocket satisfied and
went in to see the fishes.
