A Strategic LnMdiOlG.

From the Chicago Post.
Strategic Landlord.
A man in the West Division owned a
small house, house Of one story-which
he had let to tenant upon mere parole
:or verbal lease. The period Of the tenantcy !
expired and the tenant was nulijed to
vacate. The tenant paid no attention to
tho notice-lndeed, paid no attention to sew
era' notices. The owner found as all own
ers who let houses without 4 written lease,
may find that without nearly as much trou
ble and expense as the rent WAS worth he
could not get his tenant out.
In this dilemma, b.. hit upon strateg gic
expedient lie read in the papers how Gen.
Grant has "cut off the enemy's communi
tions" at Vicksburg, thus placing him in a
situation where, as soonFas his supplies are
exhausted: lie must surrender at discretion
Our West Side Landlord resolved TO cut off
his ter ants communications.
He employed house mover, and reques-
ted him to bring an extra supply Of blocks
The house mover came, with his blocks AMI
commenced raising the building. When he
had raised it about four feet from the ground
the tenant called parley. The owner
said 'Move,' the tenant said NO.. The
house. raiser went on with his work. Next
morning. the tenant found his front door
about eighteen .eet above the surface OF the
earth, ard no from: stairway. 1t was an
elevation from which to jump would be dan
gerous. He called for ladder. Move,
said the landlord. The tenant looked dowr
sadly at the beautiful earth spread out be
meath him, and agreed 20 move. A ladde,
was brought, down which the tenant anc
hs household goods descended
