How to Arouse a Drunken Man.

“The best wav to arouse a drunken man is to pinch him under the arms,” says a police officer. “I found a drunken fellow lying across the track at Tenth and Morgan streets late one night and it seemed impossible to arouse him. I clubbed him over the soles of his feet and rolled and shook him, but he lay as limp as a rag. Just then an old gentleman suggested that I pinch him under the arms. “The effect was electrical. I had him awake and fighting mad at once. On another occasion Sergeant Pierce tried the same experiment on a sot at the Fourth District station, who was delaying the Black Maria. The man stood it for awhile, and then suddenly opened his eyes, and dealt the sergeant a blow that would have felled an ox. The treatment is a dead sure thing; fetches them every time.”— Globe Democrat. Johnnie—My pop is richer’n youi pop. Freddy—Mebbe he is, but he’ll never get back the money he lent my POP- 1
