GRAY BOUGHT HIM A BED.
Policeman Tickled by Sidewalk
Sleeper's Explanation.
Elvin Gray, a patrolman, who walks a beat in the North end, last night found a man asleep on the sidewalk. Patrolmen have a habit of waking sidewalk sleepers by hitting the soles of their feet with their batons. Gray gave the sleeper a sound rap, and the man rose to a sitting posture with the exclamation: "Whoa, Maude."
The man's remark put the patrolman in a good humor. He took him to a rooming house and paid for a bed for him.
