A tale is told of a certain bombastic colonel who was once riding in a stage coach with several other passengers, when he accidentally dropped his hat out of the coach window, and exclaimed in a stentorian voice, ‘ Charioteer, pause ! 1 have lost my chapeau.’ The driver paid no heed to the demand. Again the bombastic fellow authoritatively spoke, ‘ Charioteer, pause ! I have lost my chapeau.’ No attention being paid by the driver to this last demand, a plain, blunt man, who had become disgusted with his fellow traveller’s silliness and pomposity, put his head out of the window, and said, ‘ Driver, hold on ; this fool has lost his hat.’ This was perfectly intelligible to the driver, and the hat was secured.
