Kansas, and Perkins of Kansas, Crisp of Georgia. The worst mistake he ever made was in tho last Congress.

When George was told of it he had hearty laugh.
 It is an exciting night session that the Members gallery is in it's glory. The ladies are then out in force. Dla- monds sparkle and plumed fans wave to and fro. The bright hues of their hats and dresses give the gallery warmth of color truly lnspiriting. While the late fight was at it's height some of the ladies in the Members gal lery appeared with crocheting and needle work. It was the tricotense ele- ment of Tom Reeds parliamentary Reiqn of Terror. At night. however, no one over thinks of sewing or knit ting. All eyes are fastened upon the orators below and all ears are strained to hear what they are saying 1T the discussion becomes dull the galleries are enlivened with gossip and smiles. They thin out as midnight approaches. In an all-night session last winter there was magical CranSlormatAon as | two o'clock in the morning. A bevy Of fairies glided into the Members gallery arrayed in soft furs and opera-cloaks. | As the wraps were removed an rides cence of silks and satins was revealed. l Snowy necks, ivory shoulders ana gleaming arms were revealed. A large
 party returning from fashiona pie aoiree had taken in the House in the
 morning hours It was chaperoned by l MT. Springer of Illinois. For once the
 Members kept their eyes upon the gal.

Mystery Over a Football.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 17.-Yes- terday an oyster boat at work few miles outside of the breakwster picked mp a football floating in the water.

MY HUSBAND"

'sTHAr IS JUDGE -, MY HUSBAND"
 Tho wives and daughters of few of the Members visit the Capitol nearly every day. Others go there only when some exceedingly interesting debate is anticipated.
 The exciting scenes preceding the fights over the rules attracted many visitors to the Members gallery. The wives, daughters and guests of both Democratic and Republican Represen- tatives were there, and the political ex- citement on the floor spread to the gallery. It was intensified by the presence of many strangers who had cards to the Visitors gallery but who had been admitted to the Members gall lery. They gave vent to their feelings, apparently unaware that they were on neutral ground.
 The debate below was long and bitter. One day the discussion lasted over eight hours. Some of the families of the Rep resentatives remained in the gallery all this time, witnessing the scenes of con- fusion on the floor. Little lunches were sent to them, which they shared with their friends. All enjoyed the excite ment, the eloquent outbursts and cut ting repartee that marked the contest Individual pleasure, however, was at times marred by remarks from those of opposite political belief. Strangers used their tongues quite freely. The wives of prominent Members heard com ments upon their husbands that brought the flush of indignation to their cheeks. It was certainly not pleasant for the daughter of an eminent Kentuckian to hear her father termed the worst old rebel on the floor" A stranger turned to lady at her side and said:
 "Who's that funny little man down there, with bald head ?" pointing to 6 Member.
 That" replied the lady addressed, with freezing dignity, 'is Judge - my husband"
 Her questioner blushed, but made nc apology.
 | When MT. Bynum was protesting against the rulings of Speaker Reed ir terms of burning sloquence a young man in the gallery audibly expressed his disapprobation.
 Speaker Reed" said he, ought t' descend from his chair and knock tha fellow down.
 At this the wife of prominent Dom ooratic Member of the Committee o1 Appropriations was aroused. Sh' turned and looked the censor full in thu face. He recognized her and tried t. soften the effect of his words.
