a grocery wagon, Mounted Patroman Perkins,
of the Highbridge station, rode from One

whipped about the legs of the runaway horse,
cutting its fetlocks and urging ON its speed
The wagon, held by one trace and aided by

stood as if petriaed. Both sides of the avenue
were lined with vehicles of all kinds, and many
people attracted by the shouts were running in
all directions Women screamed and closed their
eyes while men were forced to turn their heads
away, expecting that the woman and her little
ones would be ground TO pieces under the hoofs
of the horses.
Perkins leaned further out of the saddle He
frightened his grip the checkrein with his
left hand and with his right jerked his own ami
mails head to the right. Slowly, but surely
they swerved to the right and passed the cor
ner within few inches of the woman, ~ho'
although frightened had mothers instinct 10
place herself between her children and the dan
ger.
At hundred and -thirty-ffth-st a cross

was called upon TO use all his strength TO avert
collision. He finally brought the runaway horse
to a stop al One e-hundred-and-thirty -fourtn-St.

ACTORS CURE FOR TooTHAcHE
Frank Montrose, stage manager OF
the Margarlta Fischer Company which
begins weeks engagement at the
Fisher Opera House Monday night, has
been greatly troubled with t6othache
Of late, and on the occasion Of the COM
panys southern tour he suffered
more than ordinarily. He Ii always
seeking remedy, and win give every
thing trial. except dsntlst. Mr..
Montrose and the company were at the
seaside recently. and the troublesome
tooth was working overtime. One on
the ladies suggested that he ill his
mouth with salt water. Another sug-
gested that he pull off his shoes ana
stockings and bathe his feet in the
briny water, giving as reason that
the salt water would draw tie blood
from his tooth TO his pedal extremi-,
ties. He acted on the suggestion, sat
down on rock and let his Trilbys have
a swim. While he was enjoying the
scenery, an inoffensive little crab hap
pened that way and mistaking the foot
for dainty morsel of sea food began
to make meal Off OF the big toe. One
bite was enough for the Thesplan. and
with yell that could be heard beyond
the range OF the sad sea waves he
plunged into the surf. The tooth ache
was cured.
