Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-08-14

When she got ready to lose herself on
the streets of the great city, she attired
herself in her best clothes-to wit:
One green wooden dress, worn at the
elbows
One blue polka dot calico. with some
of the polka dots grimlly merged into
the background.
One heavy wooden rough blue cloak
trimmed with fur.
One boa and muff of white fur spec
kled with black and small purse with
brass trimmings inserted in the top OF
the muff. "a
One pair of black mittens.
One white straw hat trimmed with
red cloth.
One pair of shoes and one pair of
stockings.
Policeman Aldercroft found Annie at
the corner of SiXty-second street and
Amsterdam avenue recently. She was
very prim, Annie was. Her mittened
hands were in her muff. the elastic Of
her hat was under her chin, and she
walked precisely, obviously proud of
the attention she was creating.
Awed children followed her at 4
distance. For baby Annie was truly
a wonderful spectacle. With true fem
mime intuition she realized that she was
making a sensation. That it was caus-
ed by the incongruity Of her attire
rather than by It's fitness did not dis
turb Annie.
Little Annie was quite flattered by
the attentions paid to her by the po-
liceman. He escorted her to the sta
ton house and sat her on the desk.
She could give no account OF herself
save that her name was Annie, and
she didn't know where she lived.
Aldercroft took her down to police
headquarters. Annie was doubtless
the proudest 3-year-old in New York
as she rode in the street car with the
policeman, sitting straight up in her
woolens and furs and mittons and
muff.
Matron Travis stripped little Annie
of her arctic habiliments. bathed her
and put her to bed in n clean. white
little cot. Annie slept soundly. She
was up bright and early in the morn
