NEW FIRE HORSE
 IS T0O NERVOUS Latest Acquisition to Depart ment Will Not Eat HORSE IS EASILY EXCITED Quiet in His Stall But Dances and Frances and Goes Crazy When
 Harnessed for Run
 to Fire.
HORSE IS EASILY EXCITED

Midnight" a jet black young horse recently added to the Birmingham fire department. is showing an inclination tC starve himself to death and the firemer who care for him fear that he will suc- eeed unless they can get him to eat again.
 For some time past the horse has mere ly tasted the food put i1 his trough. then threw 1t out with his nose and refused to eat 1t. Tempting morsels have been pre- pared for him but still he refuses to do more than take taste of them and will not eat them.
 The firemen who have watched the equine specimen believe that the high tension under which a nre engine horse lives is proving too much for the nerves of this animal. The horse is only five or six years old, and is full of life. He Is an excellent fire horse as long as he stays in his stall, or until the collar is snapped around his neck and the fire men are ready to make a run. Then he seems to lose all control of himself. He dances and prances. stands on one foot with as much ease. apparently, as on all  fuor and is wildly excited until he is again in his stall. While there he Is as gentle as any ore could wish
 There Is always a wild look about the eyes of the horse. and the second the gong taps for an alarm he seems to go literally crazy. The horse will come under the swinging harness all right, but he stands and he commences prancing and dancing. The horse has every re- quisite for a good fire animal with the exception of his age, which the fremen believe to be responsible for his fear.
 It Is thought that the horse is just nat urally scared and is living under such a ervous strain that he cannot eat. Since he was bought for the department he has fallen off nearly 100 pound.
 The members of the department are much interested in the outcome of the horses trouble and they believe that if he were taken out of the service and used for any other purpose he would make a valuable animal. Excitement is simply proving too much for him.
