The Crowd Around a
Drunk-SOme Who Were
C0nspicuOusly Absent

COnsplcuOuSly Absent
There is a patrol box at the corner of
Grand River-ave. and Park-pl.
BY the patrol box stood policeman.
With hand gripping the left sleeve of
his coat, the policeman held man who
was drunk.
Around the policeman and his prisoner
there was crowd.
It was the kind of crowd that always
collects quickly in the street.
There were business men in it, profess
sional men, workingmen, boys and wo-
men.
The drunk swayed back and forth on
his pins during the wait for the wagon,
now and then expressing derogatory
opinion Of policemen and one policeman
ii particular.
He applied several hard names to the
policeman.
The policeman yanked the drunk
around until he faced him and then cuffed
him hard on nose that was already
crooked from having been hit before.
"Ehut up that kind of talk" growled
4 the officer.
Sail right, Mr.. P'liceman," drawled
the drunk. "'Fyou think you can make
that nose any crookederer than It's now,
y got mother guess comm, see?"
Stupefied by whisky, irresponsible for
HIS words, the poor devil had to take the
officers beating.
He turned his pockets inside out and
they were empty.
His last cent gone, the saloon where he

fellow of himself had probably put him
out into the street.
There an officer found him and ar
rested him.

And, as we have said, there were all
sorts of persons in this crowd, even wo-
men who didn't move despite the vile talk
Z Of the drunk.
The noticeable thing in connection
with this crowd, however, was in what it
lacked-the fact of those who were NOT
{ present.
The saloonkeeper who sold the drunk
4 his booze was not there--he had the
s mans money and was no longer interest
ed, It seems.
The wholesaler who sold the booze to
the retailer was not there.
Probably out seeking the shade and
the fresh air in his limousine.
The brewer who made the beer that
