Nose SeWed on After
Being Off One Hour

LOndcn.-An unusual story
was related at the King Ed
ward VII hospital at Windsor.
A stable boy, named William
Robertson, was preparing q
horse TO run in a race when a
skylight fell and cut his nose
clean off. He was taken TO the
King Edward VII hospital with
out his nose.
The arteries were tied and
the surgeon then asked for the
nose. 1t was stated that ii was
left behind in the stable at the
rae course.
A messenger Immediately was
dispatched to the stables and
the nose was found In the straw.
1t was taken to the hospital
where an operation was per-
formed and the nose was put on
again. 1t had then been off
about an hour.
A few days later Robertson
was discharged from the hos
pital. He said it was a miracle.
