Nations Capital.

There were a score of pitiful separa'
tions yesterday, and after hours OF
search by frantic parents, there were
scores of joyful reunions.
More than twenty little children,
boys and girls were lost in the crowds
along the Avenue yesterday afternoon
and last night. The tiny tots, how
ever, knew enough to ask one of the
big blue-coated policemen where
il my mammal"
In many cases the "cops" took the
little children by the hand, and walk
ing up and down on the street outside
the ropes, were able to locate papa
and mamma" by the time they had
gone a block
Many other little ones, however,
became excited when the prancing
troops of cavalry or rumbling bat
teries OF artillery passed them, and.
forgetting instructions given them be-
fore leaving home, slipped away from
the father or mother, and before
realizing it, were really and truly
lost.
The policemen took the children to
the precinct stations and there kept
them until the parents arrived.
The police state that the "kiddies'
were willing to make themselves
very much at home until parents
came, identif&d them and took the
sleepy little b3ySs and girls home.

the corner at Fifteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue did the boys
leave their places. Then the courage
and stubborn determination, which
had held them to their places from
early morning with no overcoats, In
spite of the intense cold, gave way,
and boys broke down and cried.
One little fellow, only ten years
old, who had fought against the
crowd all day long, holding onto his
end of a long rope was so cold he
could not talk. He could only stand
there mutely, while the tears which
he could not restrain rolled down
from eyes irritated by the wind-blown
sand.
Some Of the spectator, clad in heavy
overcoats and wraps laughed, but
they did not know That that same
little fellow VINO fought SO bravely
yesterday would today be confined
to his bed while his mother fights the

Der.
Emmett Dalton is the last of the

the gang ia chiefly remembered was
the raid on Coffeyville, Kansas. in Oc-
toher 1892, when they attempted to

sas in 1907.
Since regaining his liberty he has
been on the lecture platform and next
