IN THE HOUSE.
The members OF the house do not pro
pose to 60 hungry. Under the convic.
ton that mans best humor is appar.
ent in time Of plenty to eat, the house,
by resolution introduced by Gray ol
Cochise, recommended that a cafe be
provided in the capitol building. This,
1t was provided. should be at no cost te
the territory. 1t is not reported that
the house received any quotation from
Shakespeare to the effect that
"Fat paunches have lean pates
And dainty bits enrich the ribs
But haukrout quite the Wits"
nor is it likely the house would have
paid any attention to it If such q quota
ton had been suggested. And of course
the house would have shown good iudg
nent in this respect. Anyway, the
members Of the house are going to pro-
vide for themselves cafe and are going
to eat.

business. resolution was offered by
Green recommending the appropriation
OF 500 or so much thereof as would be
required to print and publish 800 copies
