Lost During Honeymoon.
Couple in Philadelphia Became Separated and Have Unique Experience.
   Philadelphia. -- "Is this the place where you inquire about lost persons in
 the city?"  asked an excited young man who rushed into the Tenth and Thompson
 street station.  Sergt. Acker informed him that he was correct.
   "Are you lost or have you lost somebody?" queried the police official.
   "I've lost my wife," replied the young man, who said he was Edwin Simpler,
 of Selbyville, Del.  "Isn't it awful?"  the Delawarean continued;  "we were
 only married last week and came to Philadelphia to spend our honeymoon.  I
 missed my wife 15 minutes ago.  We were on Broad street and as I passed
 Fairmont avenue I turned around to say something to Mrs. Simpler and found
 that she was gone."
   Acker took a description of the woman and Simpler was seated in the
 sergeant's room to await word of his missing better half.
   Fifteen minutes had hardly elapsed before a woman entered and told Sergt.
 Acker that she had lost her husband.
    "His name is Simpler, Is it not?" asked the sergeant.
   "Well of all things," the woman said, "if you Philadelphia police aren't the
 slickest. I have a cousin who is a constable and he told me that the police
 here was smart but I had no idea that you were all mind readers too."
  The couple were united, and as they left the station house arm in arm they
 solemnly vowed that they would never again get separated.
