Absent-Minded Governor Almost Got Stranger's Hat
NEW —Governor WhlUnun, ut the meeting of the National Union at
the Garden thee ter, didn't know his own hat and sought to grab another
inun’s. And the two lids didn't resemble each other In the least, for the
irov*»rnor’H whs of th»» Htovpnine va
rlety—tall and very ahlny—and the
other one was a derby.
The governor, who was announced
as the speaker of the evening, came In
while Isidore Herishfleld was opening
the meeting, anti was ushered to the
stage box, where his military secre
tary, who followed him, received his
tall hat anti his overcoat and carefully
deposited them In a corner of the box.

fleld was not going to see a fellow member of the National Union—who. by
the way. happened not to possess mueh hair-—getting a eidd in the head
through losing his hat, even If It was to the man who had been Introduced as
"our great war governor.” So he tactfully thrust his hand forward, and Mr.
Whitman, remembering that he ought to shake hands with the chnlrman,
dropped the hut to do It. By this time the useful military secretary was on
hand with the right lid and all was well.
