HOUSE NOTES.

Noble Marsden has the best
speed of anybody in the House.
Members took out their stop
watches to take his time when he
was reporting for the Committee
on Miscellaneous Petitions.
Noble Neumann retired from the
House and established himself
luxuriously on lounge in the In
terror office. He was probably
qualifying himself for the Attorney
Generalship.
Yesterday was a great day for
maiden speeches. Noble Kauhane
made a sensible one; so did Rep.
A. S. Wilcox-a noteworthy event,
as it was said to be the first ever
made by him in the Legislature, of
which he has been a member for
several sessions. Finally, Noble
Dreier found his feet-if not his
tongue amid general astonish-
ment and applause.
Rep. Smith is an Ishmaelite in
deed. Every mans hand was
against him yesterday.
Apropos of Rep. Ashford's un-
doubted ability to quote Scripture
correctly or not-for his pur.
poses, there is a passage in the
Merchant of Venice which seems
to have some application.
AS Chairman of the Committee
of the Whole Rep. Kauhi has jus
titled his claim to be considered
the humorist of the House. Rep
White, will simply not be in it
unless he breaks his record with
something more foolish than any
thing he has done yet.
