line Of the sole curves almost in a semi
circle toward the toe. The inside line runs
out straight from the ball of the foot,
forming an acute angle at the toe with the
curved outer line. The result is a shoe
that is comfortable much more so than the
marrow shoe of other years. But it cannot
be denied it lacks the grace and beauty Of
it's forerunner.
The shoe described above is an extreme
type, but it represents the popular ideal in
narrow toes In this type patent leather
uppers are the most prevalent. One of the
extreme types has patent leather uppers,
with brown leather tops. This gives a very
dressy effect. but it is almost too gaudy
for the average man. Then there are all
of the usual kinds of leather box calf, Wei
kid, wax kid, bell metal finish and a dozen
other kinds in the pointed toe.
.
The other type OF the freak toe is also
broad at the ball. the two sides running
almost parallel to the toe, which is slightly
rounded, but not enough to get rid of a
very choppy effect. This shoe is said to
be very comfortable, but its short, stubby
appearance will prevent a very large num-
Der of people from taking advantage of it's
comfort.
Like the pointed shoe, it is built with a
high box toe. which, by the way, is one
of the characteristics of this falls styles.
In nearly all of the lasts the toe is built
up high an inch or two from the end, al
lowing for slope toward the toe. The
most popular stub is the vici kid or the
calf although it is also to be found in
patent leather The heavy, cumbersome
last goes better with dull-finish leather
than with the lighter enamels.
Between these two types are a host OF
combinations of the two. Conservative
toes can readily be secured and probably
will be worn by the majority of buyers.
They are very similar to the style in vogue
last year. To suit those who like con-
sentative stub toe there are various styles,
longer in form. with a suspicion OF q curve

Fall Fashions for Men Folks

% HE PENDULUM of fashion is swinging back to

years ago OF extreme simplicity it swung last
year tc the extreme of \exaggeraton It has
started this season the reverse stroke; the
points of style are less extreme than they
were and tendency is shown toward a natural fit of
the human figure. complete summing up of the style
tendency of the season may given in the following
editorial words from the opening and winter number
q the Sartorial Art journal:
n The groesqueness and efeminacy which character
lied mems clothes during the seasons Just passed

deformngly broad built-up coat shoulders,

Take trip among the tailor shops of the city and
look at the fashion plates observe the styles dis

clothing and you will realize this to be true The de-
forming qualities of mems clothes passing and in
their place coming a higher style standard

Whether goes this fall to the tailor the store
where ready made clothes handled he hardly
be disappointed. Many poorly dressed tailor
made clothing, many we'll dressed it, many
poorly dressed men wear ready-made clothing many
well dressed it, Let the man who wants
be we'll dressed go to tailor who knows how make
stylish clothes, let him to clothing house which
'Nhandes high grade ready-made clothing. He makes a
mistake If he goes to tailor who cannot follow the
Styles IL he patronizes house which sells cheaply
made clothing At either tailor shop clothing store

hensive.

Freak Footwear and Sober Shoes for Men

ON the outer line. There are also toes built
on the same general last as the spike, but
not quite pointed. The general buyer
can find almost anything he wants in the
way of shapes.
Laced shoes still predominant though
there is a marked tendency toward buttons.
This is more noticeable in the pointed toe
lasts than in the broader styles. Shoe
clerks note that many persons who have
not worn buttons for years are buying
them this fall. In the opinion of many
dress critics the buttoned shoe gives a
dressier effect than the laced. Some peo-
pie naturally take to them in order to
have something different from what they
have been accustomed to- In laces the ex-
tremely broad linen lace, which was popu-
lar last summer with Oxfords, seems to
have made good impression and is ap-
pearing in high shoes this fall
Dress shoes are almost as Interchangeable
as the dress suit. The plain toe patent
leather is really the only proper thing, but
some cap toes are to be seen and are IA
vorites. with many.
Hosiery for men, unlike shoes, is going
back to plain, conservative cOlors. Gray
which was a general favorite during the
summer, is still popular, but is being re-
placed by blacks puppies and blues, either
plain or with neat embroidery effects and
clocks. The fashy, gaudy stripes of few
months ago will not be seen on good
dresssrs this fall, though some very bright
colors are being worn.
A new fad in the hosiery line is to have
neckwear and socks match in color. For
this reason many clothing stores are ex-
hibiting their neckties and their hosiery
in the same case, ties and hose of the
same color being placed side by side. The
navy blue ties are matched by navy blue
hosiery. the same being true of puppies,
browns and wine colors. Neat effects rule
the market and within conservative limitr

- HE man who loves freakish foot
wear can have his widest within
gratihed this fall. After several
NTMM seasons of conservative lasts two
- entirely opposite types of eccen-
trcities have pushed their way into
the center of the show windows and
are demanding recognition of their usli-
ness, for neither of them can lay much
claim to grace or beauty in its makeup.
one of these types is the extreme spike
toe and the other is the short. stubby.
heavy broad toe, the result of the recent
tendency toward comfort in footwear.
They have come as the result of the desire
of the shoe buying public for change
from the conservative medium toe, which
has prevailed for several seasons past, TO
the comfort of all concerned.
One wing OF the aforesaid public wanted
something a little daintier than the medium
toe, and the other would be satisfied only
with a creation of exactly the opposite
sort They wanted return to the big
and cumberous last of an exaggerated bull
dog style The result is that both eN-
tremes are on the market at the same time
and either one is considered quite the
thing by the fastidious dresser.
This is an unusual situation as in other
seasons one style held complete sway over
the shoe world to the exclusion of all
other types OF course the man who
looked entirely to comfort, caring little for
the dictates of fashion could get what he
wanted all the time, but only one type of
shoe was the proper thing.
The extreme pointed toe as it appears to-
day is built on entirely different lines from
years ago The present style is the result
OF compromise for comfort. Instead OF
the dainty symmetrical creation of yore
with the sides curving almost equally
toward the small, sharp toe, the present
representative of that style is built or

PITTSBURG BEAR STORIES
Reports of Deaths and Narrow Es-

sylvania Wilds.

Pittsburg, Nov. 26.-Deaths and mar
row escapes from bears are beginning
to be reported here. Last night a party
of hunters arriving from Elk county
brought in the account of the death of
John Dicht, IS years old, who was
killed by a bear on Saturday
From TidiOut, in Warren county. a
thrilling encounter with a large black
bear was reported in which the hun
ter narrowly escaped.
Henry Bradley of East PittsbIrg, who
is connected with the Westinghouse
Electric company, while hunting, shot
a bear in the Hank. Maddened by the
rain. the bear rushed toward the hun
ter and Bradley implied mis- repeater
at the animal as ii descended upon him,
five of the bullets taking effect, but
only tending to increase it's fur. Just
as the enraged bear -eached him and
prepared to strike him down, Bradley
threw away his gun, which was now
useless, and drew his hunting knife.
Plunging it into the animals side to
the hit, he reached the heart and had
the satisfaction of seeing the animal
drop dead at bis feet. Bradley escaped
with a few scratches.

BIG INCREASE
IN DESERTI0Ns
Over 5000 Soldiers Took
French Leave From Army
During the Past Year.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Desertion is on
the increase in the army. The annual
report of the military secretary shows
that i'm the year ended June 80 there
were 6,258 desertions, or IA for every
100 soldiers in the army. In 1905 the
rate of desertion was only 6.S and for
the three years previous to that time
the rate of desertion was only 6.f. From
1895 to 1904 the average of desertion
was only 4.5 per cent. The rate OF de-
sertion in 1906 was highest in the field
artillery. 90 per cent. The cavalry was
next with rs per cent.
While soldiers showed a desertion
average of 81 per cent, while the ne
gro soldiers showed an average of only
2.3 per cent. Twenty-Five per cent of
the assertions were in the first three
months of the deserters' enlistment
Ninety per cent of the deserters were
of native birth. and as SO per cent of
the enlisted men in 1906 were of native
birth the rate Of desertion among ma
tives and foreigners was about the
same
OF the men who deserted in 1906 SIS
have been apprehended and 240 surren-
dered to the military authorities. The
total number of deseIters convicted of
desertion, ntenced to confinement arr.
dishonOrabiy discharged was 62S.
THE number of desertions,' said Cen
