ZOO Men at Work.
AS the day wore on and the FOG
became more dense strange phenomena
were noticeable, The appearance of
brown-stone buildings was changed to
resemble Indiana lime stone structures.

ROLL Of |ODOfORM
GAUzE HALTS SPEED
OF RUNAWAY HORSE
Ambulance Surgeon Threw
Bandage in Animals Face as
1t Menaced Crowd.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-This is not q
nature fake, but the tale Of how a
man of expedient checked a runaway
horse by throwing a roll of iodoform
gauze against it's nostrils just as it
was dashing toward a large crowd of
people at Third avenue and 116th street.
The fumes caused the horse to sneeze,
and then it was far easier than bor-
rowing money from ones mother-in-
law to stop the animal before it did
any damage amid the crowd, panic
stricken by this time.
DIR. George Benrett, of the Harlem
Hospital, the man, deserves a Carnegie
nero medal for his quick wits and
action, declare his friends. Seated
in the rear of the ambulance, which
was being hurriedly driven to the
scene Of an accident. DR.. Benrett saw
a heavy truck horse running wildly be-
hind the ambulance. The animals
speed was unchecked, as the driver
trailed far in the rear, and as it
swerved toward the crowd DR.. Ben
rett realized he must act quickly to
prevent it dashing among the people.
An instant and the surgeon had
grabbed a roll of iodoform gauze from
his kit, then swung to the step of the
ambulance.
On charged the horse. Then, like a
lightning flash, from DR.. Benefits right
hand sped the roll of iodoform-soaked
gauze. Square against the eyes and
nostrils of the runaway fell the gauze
The horse blinked, recoiled. and then
stopped to sneeze
The rest was easy.
