Getting Even with a Landlord.

Many years ago Barney Barnato rent
ed little house in one OF the frontier
towns of South Africa. Barney spent
considerable in improving the house,
but he quarreled with his landlord and
decided to move. BY inserting the fol-
lowing advertisement in the local pa
per, the prospective millionaire in
some measure got even with his land
lord Wanted, by gentleman who
agreed to leave dwelling occupied by
him in condition in which he found it.

POINTED TOES MUST GO.
No More ToOthpicks in Shoe Leather
Now Says Fashions Decree.

No More TOOthPicISs in Shoe Leather
Now Says Fashions Decree.
From the New York Journal.
The pointed toe shoe is going out of
style. Such is the decree of fashion. and
when fashion dictates few men or women
dispute the decree.
Hence the passing of the "toothpick"
point is a fact that is just forcing itself on
manufacturers and dealers. Some of the
leading shoe dealers of New York con-
firmed the statement that in its place is
appearing the more comfortable round
toed style of footwear
The exodus of the "toothpick' marks
an epoch in the history of fOotgear. The
ultra fashionable youth will have no trou-
BILE in standing squarely upon their own
feet instead of bearing down upon their
neighbors pedal extremities with the use
less projection of the old style shoe.
There have been many styles of shoes
worn by different styles of men, but the
pointed toe maintained its supremacy
longer than any of them. But, like all
else it has had to give way to the die
tates of Dame Fashion, and fall styles
show wider range of round and square
toed shoes than has been in stock for
many long day, while there is less
variety of pointed toed shoes seen than
ever DetOre.
R. B. Glover, who represents one shoe
company, said: "In the future pointed
shoes may be worn more or less for even
ing wear, but they will eventually become
out of date for the reason that they are
more apt to break around the tips, and
the dealers are accused of selling an in
ferior article. The shoe that is coming in
the place of the pointed shoe is one that
is known as the bulldog which has a
raised, round, blunt toe. The reason for
calling the shoe bulldog is because of
the shape of the toe, which is something
like dogs head in form. This will be the
fashionable shoe this fall
Mr.. Peterson, manager of another store,
said: Pointed shoes are going out of style
for the reason that different designs in
footwear are merely a fad or fancy. The
bulldog shape is a more comfortable shoe
and is a more sensible looking article than
the old style of pointed shoe. There is no
doubt but what some people will regret the
change in style, but such is the law of
fashion"
Another reason for pointed shoes going
out of style is the fact that cheap manu-
facturers are making them at a much more
reduced price than manufacturers of high
grade shoes can compete with
The fine city trade of the east and public
opinion in general have set decidedly
against the needle pointed shoe and the
coin" and bulldog shaped lasts now
have the preference.

DEATH ma CREVICE.
TANNED in the Ice, the Man Talked |
with Those Who Tried 10 Res
cue Him.

From the Seattle Post-Inteuigencer.
Port Townsend. Aug. THE particulars
Of the tragic death Of a Seattle prospector
named Edward Kennah in the crevice Of
a glacier in the Cook Inlet country were
brought here to-day by the steamer VIII
lapa from Alaska. At the bottom OF an
ice crack. eighty feet below the surface,
solidly damned between two walls OF Ice,
Kennah talked TO his comrades above for
one hour and ten minutes, when his voice
was chilled by death.
A party Of nine prospectors were walk
ing abreast across a glacier near Twenty
mile creek, at the head Of Turn-again
arm, on the Fourth of July. A thin sheet
of ice hid from view crack about three
feet in width; the party approached d.
agonaly, the end man carrying a gun
across both shoulders, when he and the
next IN line, Kennah, suddenly slipped
through the thin coating OF ice and disap-
peared below Their wild cries barely
prevented some of the others meeting
with a similar fate. The gun fell cross
ways four or five feet below the surface
and enabled one of the men to. be rescued.
But the other prospector. Kennah, fell
over seventy feet and was tightly damned
between the diverging walls of ice. His
voice could be distinctly heard as he di-
rected the movements OF his WOuld-be
rescuers in their fruitless efforts to raise
him out of the coffin of ice. Blankets
were torn up and tied into long strands
and Kennah fastened one, end around his
body, but the force of the fan had JAM
med him so tightly between the frozen
perpendicular walls of ice, and the chill
so benumbed his body and exhausted his
vitality, that the combined efforts Of his
partners could not raise him from the
frozen tomb.
Gradually his voice became weaker and
more indistinct. his efforts for self-preser-
walton grew feebler and one hour and ten
minutes from the time the accident hap
pened the last faint sound from below
was heard.
Kennah was an elderly man and be-
longed in Seattle, where he is said to have
son employed in the postoffice. A miner
from Cook Inlet is taking a farewell mes
sage from the dying father to the son.
