after the sentence had been pro-
nounced.
If Riddick's conduct record at the
penitentiary is perfect his term will be
cut down IA days, which will leave
for him to serve only two years and
seven months.
A rumor about Richmond Wednes-

would be given some duty similar to
that Of a chaplain, but this was char
acterized as ridiculous by the peniten-

MUSICAL TASTE IN ANIMALS.

Some years ago my father lived in
an old hall in the neighborhood of one
of our large towns. The grounds were
extensive. 1t was his delight to have
sort of model farm, which gave me
many opportunities of studying the
different characters of the various ami
mails upon it. Then [ saw the infu-
ence of music upon many of them.
There was beautiful horse, the pride
and delight of us all; and, like many
others, he had an unconqucrable dis
like to be caught. My father had so
trained him to obedience that he gave
very little trouble. A whistle and a
wave of the hand, and Robert wohld
come to be saddled. But, if left to
our old gardener, Willy, he would
lead him a chase, generally ending in
defeat. One very hot summer day l
was sitting at work in the garden,
when Willy appeared, streaming with
perspiration. "What is the matter,
Will % "Matter enough, Miss
There's that Robert, the uncanny
beast He won't be caught, all can
do or say. I've give him corn, and
one of the best pears off the tree; but
he's too deep for me. He snatched
the pear, kicked up his heels, and off
he is, laughing at me at the bottom of
the meadow"
was very sorry for the old man,
but did not clearly see how to catch
the delinquent. could we'll believe
he was laughing at our old friend, for
he was a curious animal.
''Well, Willy, what will l do He
won't let me catch him, you know"
cay; but, Miss, if you will only
just go in and begin a toon on the
peanner, Cook says he will come up
to the fence and hearken, for he is al
ways ADDING that. And maybe 1 can
slip behind and cotch him"
[ went in at once, not expecting my
stratagem to succeed. But in a few
minutes the saucy creature was stand
ing quietly listening, while I played
''Scots wha hae wi Wallace bled." !"
The halter was soon round his neck;
and he went away to be harnessed,
quite happy and contented.
There was a great popularity about
his taste for music. He never would
stay to listen to plaintive song. 1
soon observed this. If I played
''Scots wha hae," he would listen,
we'll pleased. If 1 changed the
measure and expression, playing the
same air plalntively, as, for instance,
in the Land O. the Leal," he would
toss his head and walk away, as if to
say "That's not my sort of music. :"

REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

We understand that dozen or less
of Republicans of more or less promi-
nence have met and practically agreed
rs to who should be the delegates
from the State at large and the several
districts, from Mississippi to the next
National Convention. We presume
that these gentlemen will meet later
on and fix up slate as to who shall
compose the next State committee.
OF course all or nearly all Of the gen.
tlemen who are not consulting the
people in this matter, are Office hold
ers, and wish to fix things so that they
may continue in office, "Ad infni-
tum," if possible.
The outlook for the Republicans of
Mississippi in casting anything like a
respectable vote for the next Republi-
can nominee is decidedly dark, and
will continue to be so as long as the
Republican leaders in this State exert
no influence towards getting Republi-
cans to pay their poll tax in time and
register.
If the Republican leaders in this
State were half as anxious for an in
creased Republican vote, as they are
&c manipulate convention, and hold
offices, we would be able to cast at
least twenty thousand votes for the
next Republican nominee. AS it is,
Mississippi casts the smallest Repub-
lican vote Of any State in the whole
Union.
Something should and must be done
to build up the Republican party in
the State. If the old leaders expect
to continue in favor with the people,
they must deal fair, and do more for
the party in the future. It will be a
Survival of the ftest."

ODD FELLOWS IN COUNCIL.

An important meeting of the Exec

Lodge of Odd Fellows'of Mississippi,
was held at Bethel hall, Saturday Jan
uary 18th.
In attendance were District Grand
Master, J. S. McCusker, of Magno-

trict Grand Treasurer, Noah Cowan,
Greenville, Miss; Grand Director,
N. A. Anderson, Vicksburg, Miss,
and E. H. McKinzie, of Holly
Springs, Miss, secretary and treas
urer of the the Odd Fellows Benefit
Association.
The chief business of the session
was the order incorporating the dis
trict grand lodge aud the Odd Eel
lows Benefit Association.
Another matter OF importance was
the adjustment of difficulties pending
between the subcommittee of man
agement with headquarters at Phila
delphia and the district grand lodge
OF this State. A small tax was levied
upon such lodges as had not contribu-
ted to the fund for the replacing of
the minutes of the last district lodge,
the said minutes having been de-
troyed by fire.
Secretary E. H. McKissock reports
the Benefit Association in frst-cl
condition, and growing in strength
every day. The amount disbursed
for widows benefits during the year
1899 aggregated a sum in excess of
$15, ZOO. The membership of the or

that foe was coming, so he quietly
climbed farther up the mountain to
another resting place. But again he
sensed the Indians approach and
made off. Several times this hap
pened, and at length there was a
second shot and another CALLING
wound. Wahb was furious now.
There was nothing that really fright
ened him but that horrible odor of
man, iron, and guns, that he remem-
bered from the day when he lost his
mother; but now all fear of these left
him. He heaved painfully up the
mountain again, and along under a
sixfoot ledge, then up and back to
the top of the bank. where he lay fiat.
On came the Indian, armed with knife
and gun; deftly, swiftly keeping on
the trail; gloating joyfully over each
bloody print that meant such anguish
to the hunted bear. Straight up the
slide of broken rock he came, where
Wahb, ferocious now with pain, was
waiting on the ledge. On sneaked
the dogged hunter; his eye still scan
ned the bloody slots or swept the
woods ahead, but never was raised to
glance above the ledge. And Wahb,
as he saw this shape of Death relent-
less on his track, and smelled the
fearful smell, poised his bulk at heavy
cost upon his quivering, mangled arm,
there held until the proper instant
came, then to his sound arms match
less native force he added all the
weight of desperate hate as down he
struck one fearful, crushing blow.
The Indian sank without sound, and
then dropped out of sight. Wahb
rose, and sought again a quiet nook
where he might nurse his wounds.
Thus he learned that one must fight
for peace; for he never saw that In
dian again, and he had time to rest
and recover.
