May Acquire More Land.

It is rumored around town that the Tennessee company has secured options on an immense tract of land in and around Ensley, especially out toward Wylam. As is well known the further extension of the steel mill will be in that direction. It is stated that the Steel corporation will concentrate all the future steel mills in Ensley and will get their metal from Bessemer and other points. In this connection the engineering corps of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company which is now at work near Bessemer has already run a direct line from the steel mill to Bessemer. This would seem to indicate the oft repeated rn- nor of further enlargement of the mill after the present new construction work is completed

The Simple Case
 of Susan

Susan was thoughtfully nip bling a diseuif Torf0ni, in one corner of a Broadway confec- tionery shop, when the door opened and a young man entered. From this point the case is not perfectly simple.
 It is story of smart society, of quite adorable feminine persons, of officers in uniform, of the richest girl in New York and an elopement, in which the very man most averse to 1t assists. This story starts in the current issue of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, and is by Jacques Futrelle, the author of "The Chase of the Golden Plate"
 Ifyou were the daughter of very rich man, and if a young sociologist, looking for copy, should enter your family as butler, and if he should write a scorching article about your family in popular magazine, would you marry him! Would the fact that you were in love with him have anything to do with it? This is the theme of the story, "Doris Has Her Way," by Bert Lesion Taylor.

bettor ticket to identify 1t, which CORE
sponded with the number in the book.
There is considerable clerical work in
every transaction, and each bookmaker
has a cashier beside him wearing
leather pouch over his abdomen that hung
from a strap around his neck These
pouches seem to bee uniform and also
bear the name and number OF the men TO
whom they belong. The cashier takes
the money and makes the change while
the bookmaker is booking the bet, and he
cashes the tickets Of the winners at the
close of each race.
When the bookmaker wasn't booking
bets he was yelling like lunatic to at
tract attention. When his lungs were ex-
hausted his cashier relieved him. and in
stentorian tones shouted his judgment as
to the result of the next race.
Put your money on Catnie." one Of
them would yell. Put your money on
Desmonde." came from a red-faced book
maker a little distance away. Bet your
pile on the field" roared a third. Even
money on Bakers Boy" I'm giving to
l on Sweet Sister," I'm offering to 1 on
Silver Bell" and so on. The air was
filled with similar cries which were I'M
Ineligible or at least without signif-
canoe, to a stranger, but we assumed that
each bookmaker had favorites tht he
was booming to the best of his ability.
Well-dressed. respecta ble-looking wom-
en- were booking bets as well as men
and mingling in the crowd on even terms.
There was no distinction of age or sex
or rank or previous condition. And We
were told that II was no sign of immoral
ity and no violation of the laws of pro-
priety for a lady to participate in the
pools Some Of them. perhaps from dis
like to be jostled by the crowd, sent their
escorts to book their bets, but messengers
are evidently not allowed. I should judge
that the stakes were small I watched
the cashing in Of the winning tickets after
several of the races, and II was mostly
silver and a few pieces Of gold that
changed hands. I didn't see but one
paper note passed. and you know that the
lowest denomination of the paper money
here is five pounds.
There was perfect order, although there
seemed to be a great deal of drinking.
There was always a large crowd before
the bar between races. but no disturbance
at all. The excitement seemed to occur
just after the jockeys were weighed and
while the horses were trotting slowly to
the starting post. When the tapping OF
bell told us they were of everybody
was silent and the victor received no APP
plause when he passed under the WIRE
The winners turned their faces from the
race track toward the bookmakers, cashed
in their checks and the rest Of the crowd
strolled Off toward the paddock to look
over the candidates for the next running.

are not As hard for those who are
willing to work, but they may be n
little hard for those who only care
to work two ar three days per
week and loaf the balance, bust
ness may be a little dull for those
who do not hustle for trade. and
things may he slow for the lazy,
aud nothing doing for those who
will not work, but We believe there
is always something .ioing for the
man who is industrious aud is
