AN EQUINE DRUNKARD.
He Is a Police Department Horse
and Has Learned Bad Habits.

\ morse addicted to the liquor habit
is one of the strange sights of Topeka,
Kan. The equine dIunkard is Dan. one
Of the large horses driven to the pa
troll wagon of the city police depart
ment. Dan acquired his taste for
liquor several years ago. He became
sick and was about to die when the
veterinary surgeon in charge recon-
mended that dose of whiskcy be Civ
en- him. 1t braCed the horse up. The
dose was repeated at intervals, and
Dan entirely recovered under the in
fluenCc of the Stimulant. When the
whisky was first given to him it was
with great difficulty that he was made
to swallow it, but he gradually ac-
quired taste for it. which grew into
an Unsuitable appetite
After Dan had recovered the officers
at the city Jail gave him whisky as a
Joke, just to see him caper about the
lot. 1t came to be a serious matter
however says the Kansas City World,
as drinking became habit with him.
and he required whiskey at regular in
tervals. The frequent raids upon the
saloons at Topeka, at which n large
quantity of whisky was generally Sc.
cured and Conhscated, furnished
abundant opportunity for the patrol
driver TO indulge Dams unusual appe-
ttte.
The police department changed hands
on July /, and ever since that time To-
| pcka has been the scene of temper
ance crusade. The practice of giving
whisky to Dan was discontinued. He
began losing flesh, got oft his feed, and
| finally became incapacitated for duty
on the patrol wagon. Those who un-
! d"rstOOd the habits of Dan said the
| cause of his sickness was the loss of
| his accustomed drinks of whisky.
In order to test the matter whisky
| has been given Dan at regular inter-
walls during the last three days. uo
drank it greedily and soon hegan show
| ing signs of recovery, He is now a
| sound and well horse. doing duty on
the wagon. Those who have witnessed
the experiment say that Dan can take
a tumblerful of whisky and drink il
down as gracefully as any man--and
he does not require chaser
