A Shake That Sobers.

Police Capt. Edward Coonan, of Madison. N. J., is twenty-eight years old. and stands six feet two inches in his stockings, without an ounce of superfluous flesh on him. He nevyr carries a pistol, nnd seldom a club, depending on his own wonderful strength for every emergency. His great specialty is shaking. It is an everyday occurrence for him to lift an ordinary sized drunken man entirely off his feet with one hand and shake him sober.
