The bill to prohibit hunting rabbits
with ferrets was under c0nsidera-

mcnt arrived. Its discussion created
as much fun as did the live stock
bill in the Senate. Several funny amend |

brought down the house by addressing
the patron Of the bill, Mr.. Rock, as "NIr.
Ferret" There is lots OF fun left in the
hill yet, which will no doubt be developed
when it again comes up for consideration.
