LOST Her PAPA
Little Girl Attracts Attention on h
Vain Street

Little NeTa Simpson lost her papa on
North Main street yesterday afternoon
and attracted considerable attention by
her loud cries. The little girl is the
daughter Of r. Simpson, a photographer.
who runs a sman gallery at 484 North
Main. Her father stepped out TO 60 10
the grocery, a few doors below, for a few
minutes. and left the little girl alone.
She probably missed him and wandered
out on tie street in search of him. She
started south on Main street, went past
the store where 4er father was and when
about the middle Of the block between
Third and Second street, started 10 run
and began 70 cry and call her papa. Of
fcer SyI Anderson, the coIored policeman,
was passing on the opposite side of 1ne
street. and surmising that the little child
was lost. he ran across the street 70 stop
her. but the little one evidently was not
familiar with ebon-hued giants in blue
coats and brass buttons. and she surely
thought Syl was the Bogey man. for she
let out fez extra loud screams when
she saw him and ran on down the street
She would have very likely gone on down
10 Douglas avenue II a lady. who had
seen the child playing in front Of the
gallery. had not happened along about
lhat tine. She picked up me screaming
youngster and carried her back TO her
father. who had JUS discovered that the
little daughter was gene and was some
what alarmed about her.
