one drink. Yet he didn't know a thing
he had done or said Was he drunk?
There was a busy politician in San
Francisco years ago who would drink
himself literally into the gutter. yet,
If one of the boys would pick him up
and seat him in chair, that act alone
would straighten him out. Without
further preliminary he would lay out
and direct one of the old time election
day campaigns to a victory-keep at it
for "a hours until the vote was counted
his way. Was he drunk?
''An old policeman arrests a man as
drunk more from instinct than on ac-
count of any physical signs of in
ebriety that he can see. ] would say
just as our mothers knew when loaf
of bread was baked just right, or when
one of US kids was coming down with
the Group. He may go along his beat
and pay no attention to man who is
unsteady on his legs or who thinks he
is singing; and in the next block he'll
pick up man who walks and looks all
right, but who, 1t proves, can't tell
whether he lives in Oshkosh or San
Francisco and who doesn't know
whether he has cents or $4,000 in his
pocket.
speaking of what drunk has in
his clothes and what he thinks he has
there, it seems to me some one who
has served years as booking sergeant
at the city prison might help answer
your question by telling of the notions

Back in the old days Sergeant Fred

fact that he was once devil in the
office of the Boston Transcript and
that he has one of the rare Franklin

kind things about people in the big

probation, but that is no reason why
he should not be asked

that a man was drunk-fie might be

Perhaps it's easier to say when a
man was drunk than Wnen he is
drunk. Now when gold watch and
chain, $500 in greenbacks and dia-
mond ring are taken from man, and
after he has been locked up for six
hours he claims that everything he
had in his pockets was jackknife,
would say he had been very drunk. No,

say he was still drunk and needed to
stay in the cell a few hours longer.

offense is charged. Considering that

Now that is all that the chief would

''Why-I can't say when man is

way before, but there doesn't seem to
be any fit definition for it. ! might say
