Last evening many people saw
horse being. driven up and down
the streets at break. neck speed
while the driver wore out whip
on him. Every man who saw 1t,
felt 1t was a shame and knew some
thing ought to be done. Likewise
every man stuck his hands In his
pockets, pulled up his coat collar
and walked on, declaring 1t was the
officers business to run him In.
Probably 1t was, and probably the
officer knew that If he did pull him
in every one of them would con-
veniently forget the incident when
called upon to say what he knew
about 1t. What's nobody's bust
ness isn't the constabIe's business.
