The Judge Prepared a Big Surprise for His Wife. National Magazine. One of the overture stories of this session of Congress was told in the cloak room by 8en?tor Nathan B. 8cott, of West Vir ginia, whose dramatic mode of narration made the tale doubly lujpiuooj vc. It seems that a judge of his acquaintance had a very charming wife, bat she was overneat and was forever brushing miscroscopic dust from his clothes; still all went well until she stinted on the "hair hunt." After that she never sat beside her husband for five minutes but she perceived a hair of some sort on his clothing, and hastened to remove it, be it hair of dog, cat or human being. About this time there came to the town a long haired lady, possibly one of the Sutherland Sisters, who sat in state at one of the principal hotels, daily ex hibiting her 6even feet of b,ack hair to an admiring audience. The judge was present at one of these exhibitions, watched his opportunity and secured a hair. He and his wife were regu ' lar attendants at eburcb, and at the Sunday morniug services be suffered most from his wife's hair-finding proclivities. Just as be composed bis mind to listen to the reading?tbe sermon or even tbe prayers?he would feel a 6?iddeu pluck a? some part of bis c'otbing?abair was discovered?and so on all through the service. The judge feared that some time lie would be heard to say a naughty word in churcu. On the Sunday after his brief visit to the long-haired lady his last preparation for worship was 'IThe Takin [CoId Habit The old cold goes; a new one quickly comes.

One more pull and sieven feet of hair was on the seat between her and the judge. It could not be left there for the sexton to marvel over, so it was hastily thrust under the heavy cover of her hymn book, while she mopped the perspira tion from her face and fixed her eyes in rapt attention on the face of the minister, devoutly hoping that the "hair hunt" had been unobserved by the congregation. Quietly the judge's hand slipped down to the hymn book?a moment and the hair was in hi, pocket; no matter if it broke now.
