CHOLLY LOST HIS HAT.

Ex-Congressman Charlie Lan-dis-of Delphi, Who spoke here Saturday afternoon to a smallsized audience in the opera house, had all kinds of trouble in finally getting started right. He came in from the north on the 2 p. m., train, and was either asleep or so busily engaged iin conversation with someone on the train that he did not get off. The train started out and Charlie then discovered that he was still on board. A few frantic moves and the train was stopped, the former sage of the Wabasfh was dropped off, and the train went on. But he was minus his head covering, and shaking his hand at the retreating train, he yelled “they stole my hat!” Just then chairman Leopold stepped up and pulling his own hat from his head he covered the silvery locks of the ex-congressman, and led him awav. Cholly’s hat was probably let off at Delphi.
