with the Denver police department,
had his sense of humor tickled yes
terday. A little girl, apparently about
five years of age, was picked up on
the streets and taken to police head
kuarters. She tearfully inforced Bruce
that she was lost.
"I came down town with muwer
and got losted," she told the genial
head of the city detective force.
"Why didn't you hold onto her-
skirts?". Bruce wanted to know.
" "Couldn't reach 'em." was the tot's .
startling answer.
