ono OF the most popular shoe-strinG
statesmen who ever permitted the local
bell hops to torture his baggage Is
back in the city again. with new
story OF tho shoe trade. never before
repeated outside the hushod circles of
big business. This is 1t:
Usaka Tom. the Hawaiian fish mag
nate, arrived in the port OF san Fran
cisco filled with the weight of a great
idea. For long ages, there has been.
and still swins. in tho waters sur
rounding the ukelelc archipelago.
strangcst OF all strange water creatures
that TEEN therein. the creature Lika-
lcck, or onion fish. This low form of
sea life gets Its nano from the fact
that it's hide is composed OF myriad
LAYERS OF thinncst tissue-thinner than
rice paper, but tougher than ruwhide.
The natives use the skin for cigarct
papers. But Usaka Tom, Who inherited
brains from his fathers side, proposed
to use tho skin for shoes. 1t seemed to
be made for the purpose.
There are, roughly speaking. two
kinds OF I-ikaleok. tho tan ones and
the black ones. Tho simplest OF tam
ming operations Is sufficient to make
OF their skin a high quality of lcath-
or. 4 hundred layers OF this tough
tissue subsctncc Is but little thicker
than ordinary calf hide.
Made up into shoes. declared tsaka
Tom. the skin OF the onion fish sur
passed the finest Russian calf, kanga-
roo or cordovan. Moreover. when one
layer is dullcd, the wcarer has only
to apply his pocket knife near tho
wclt, strip off the dullcd layer. and
beneath. shining, unscratchcd, bril-
liant lis n new surface.
II has long been known that the first
cost OF a pair OF shoes Is not tho chief
consideration. With shines At IL cents
for each sitting, ten shines will
amount TO Sl.50i hundred polishcs
total SIS.
Now. Usaka Tom. possessed Of brill
liant. thoroly practical idea, reckoucd
without tho wilcs OF American big bus
iness. lie approached the lIvc-wirc rep
roscntativc Of an eastern shoe firm, in
San Francisco. This gentleman. real
izing his find. engaged n drawing room
Pullman reservation for Tom, and
posted him direct to tho doors OF his
FIRMS factory in New Jersey. But he
talked aftcrward.
Tho rumor reached tho cars Of n
gang OF shoe polish maEnates: In the
advent OF the onion-fsh shoe they read
their doom. The public. they realized.
would not buy shines. II. at a moments
notice. they could strip off tho cpidcr-
