 Senate Merry.
 Senator Hamburger led In the mar rymaking. now and then reading bills of humQrous nature--all of them tra- vesttes on the prohibition iaws-by which he elicited laughter
 One of his measures was to take from the adverse calendar the Henley jay bird" bill which sought to protect cer- tain species of birds, but which had been Killed.
 fer an amendment exempting the robin from protection-the robin, he declared, who was so immoral and harmful in his example to other birds. and in his open violation of the prohibition laws
 Why, sir" he charged, this im- moral bird actually. in the face of your Fuller bill. and your Carmichael bill. and your constitutional prohibit tion, actually. sir. he fiaunts these and becomes shameiessly and openly drunk on of chinaberries and stag gers his disgrace in this moral State of Alabama"
 Another was his 'breath- -smeller' bill, and his bill to "enhance the mor- als of the people of Alabama in gen. eral and of the Senate in particular :"
 Senator Mcwhorter was second only to the man from Mobile in the ievity of the last day.
 The dull routine of the day was made into a memory to all and especially to two. when presentations of pin to President Gray and a silver watch box to President Pro Tenn Thomas was made by Senator Hamburger. for the pages. who rendered the tributes to the two leaders.
 The pages. who had learned to love the two big men of the Senate were: Thomas Hayes. W. A. Gayle, Earl Devinney, Julian Reid and John Rey- holds.
 Pages Present Gifts. Senator Hamburger shattered his previous records for oratory in the presentation speeches. though he came near to losing diamond pin in the effort to pull off the event according to all rules of presentation occasions. The pin, which the boys had bought, had not arrived. and Senator Ham, burger heard that MT. Gray was to leave the city immediately. Rather than lose the chance of presenting the tribute-and the opportunity of mak- ing a speech--he took his pin as a substitute. and made tho presenta- tion. President Gray opened the box, sasped at the glitter of the big dia- mond, and was astounded at the pur- chase of the pages until it was all ex- plained to him.
 Most of the amendments and correc. tions to be made in the bills which were, continually returned to the Speaker and the President through the day for the erasure of their sig natures, were those of errors or omis. sions, made by the clerks.
