A DISGUISED LANDLORD.
He Is Cursed With Tenant Who Can
Not BE Induced to Move.

He Is Cursed With Tenant Who Can
Not BE Induced to Move.
New Haven Comm Speciall
Leopold Putzel is shoe dealer who has
store at No. 1853 State street. He also
has a tenant, who pays no rent and rules
one part of the premises SO thoroughly
that Putzel has been trying to evict him
for weeks without the slightest success.
He is Tom Hayward, short, thick-set
negro, with bad eye, and a big axe.
Hayward took fancy to Putzel's cellar
early in the winter, and coolly took pos
session. Putzel objected mildly, but it did
no good, and the colored squatter had
things all his own way. Finally, the in
voluntary landlord went down the cellar
stairs, with number of cruel things all
ready on the tip of his tongue, but he
didn't get chance to say any of them,
for the negro promptly chased him up
stairs and frightened him so badly that
his cries aroused the whole neighborhood.
Hayward, who supports himself by doing
odd jobs about the city, went to his work
as usual the next day and returned at
night, going down to his cellar after
solemn warning to Putzel that If the
latter ever came down stairs again ne
would never go up alive.
Then Putzel tried strategy. One day
the weather prophets said that cold wave
was coming and he took off the cellar
doors and removed the windows. The
blizzard came and the cold cellar made
Putzel's place almost uncomfortable, but the
colored man seemed to bear the freezing
weather very philosophically. He merely
told Putzel that he had made up his mind
to occupy the basement permanently.
Putzel could do what he pleased with the
rest of the house. The landlords battle
with the squatter has gone on ever since,
but there is no change in the situation.
Hayward is complete master of his do
main. Occasionally he stalks into neigh
boring restaurant, always carrying his
axe With him, and every few days he tells
Putzel that he likes to make mince meat
out of shoemakers. His landlord has
about resigned himself to his fate. He
has made no complaints to the police, al
though he has seen Hayward settling
down as if for a permanent occupation.
The negro has hung pieces of carpet
and bagging over the windows
and doorway, which were opened by
Putzel; he has rugged up sort of bed in
one corner of the cellar, and in fact is be-
coming an old resident. An attempt was
made to drown him out two nights ago,
but it didn't succeed, and merely put Hay
ward to the trouble of drying his belong
ings.
Last night one of the neighbors who had
struck up sort of acquaintance with the
hermit poked his head in through the cellar
window. Hayward jumped toward him,
axe in hand, but the intruder lodged back
in time. Then the negro recognized him
and apologized by explaining that he had
taken him for one of the devils who were
hunting for Tom Hayward. He had made
up his mind, the bearer went on, that
the safest place to escape the devils was
Putzel's cellar, and he meant to stay there
until they had got tired Of the search and
went back to headquarters. The neigh
bors are afraid that Hayward will stay
there for long time vet

Sound Sleepers in an Old Kirk.

During some alterations at the parish
church of Llangattock, near Crickhowell, a
singular discovery was made. The rector

There Shall Be no Alps.

When Napoleon talked of invading Italy
one of his officers said: s'But, sire, remem-

would have seemed simply insurmounta-

"There shall be no Alps" So the famous
mountain, stands in the way of fame, fort

healed and so the mountain would disap-
