| who are to hold over and afterwards 1t
was learned that the amount involved
was $500 and an effort was made to re-
| consider the resolution, but the motion
| was voted down. In the assembly to-
i night there was much larger crowd
| than in the senate. There was q great
| deal of noise and considerable business
| transacted, three bills being rushed
through on final passage. 1t is a ques-
ton. though. If they ever reach the
governor in consequence OF lack or time
for enrolment.
Then after the storm Of the day came
| the calm of the evening. There was
something on the tapis but only known
| to members. although the crowds
seemed to realize that there was some
thing up.

Then followed session OF twenty
minutes of frolic. A banner was car
ried in by Bettman on which was
crude drawing of a chicken and bearing
the legend, Prices Chicken" Price
is the man who introduced a bill to
make chicken stealing felony. There
was singing by a quartet, blowing
horns, throwing old bills in the air In
imitation of snow storm and everybody
stayed to enjoy the fun. Then came
serious business once more and mes
sage was sent to the senate that the as
sembly was ready to adjourn. To ordi-
nary mortals it was nearing the hour
when graveyards yawn but to legisla-
tors was not yet noon.
