 The business of the Bell Telephone com pany Is growing to such an extent that an enlargement of their present offices IS necessary. Plans have been adopted to add an extension to their building, fronting on Court street, making it marble front Since the sidewalk i'm provements of Court street has been com pleted this street is one of the handsomest thoroughfares of the city and is fast building up.
 Officers Picked up three out of 13 craps shooters who were pursuing this seduc- tive game at the powder house of the Talladega Hardware company, quite a mile from the city. This magazine is stored with powder and dynamite and the shootists selected this quiet spot Sun day afternoon as fit time and place to watch Little Joe" and the capricious ''seben come eleben" evidently failing to consider that IS is an unlucky number. Ten of the company made good their es- cape, but for some reason three were not as lucky.
 Luther Hawkins and Jim Patterson, two small chaps with knee pants on, aroused considerable excitement on North street when the morning train of the Louisville and Nashville arrived. These boys live in St. Clair county, and learning that a citizen of that county intended swearing out warrant against them; charging them with stealing a bicycle, they fled to Talladega. The mothers of the boys, getting uneasy about them decided to come to Talladega and hunt them up In the meantime the warrant had been sent to the sheriff of this county with the added information that the mothers were coming and that they would doubt less show the sheriff here the trail to the whereabouts of the fleeing lads. Sher- if Middleton met the trains. So did the boys, but the moment the kids saw their respective mothers on the train they burnt the wind up North street, with sheriff Middleton in hot pursuit and af- ter short chase, they were captured. It is understood that on their return the charge will not be pressed, but that the kids will get soundly threshed. the bicycle returned and all will be well.

7. NJ. Patterson and his followers
have swallowed the dose put up for
them by Speer and Evans of Denver
and do not even seem to have made a
wry face. They, at one time, hooted
at the idea Of sending Hughes, the cor
poration lawyer to the United States
senate, but, when the time came for C.
lection, they fell in line. like good poll
ticians, and helped shout for the "cor-
poration lawyer.
If they have not lost all sense Of
shame in political matters, they eer-
tainly should now feel heartily ashamed
for the attack they made on the re-
publican senator in the campaign on
the grounds Of his connection with
corporations since they have so soon
followed that attack by giving their
aid to the election Of man to the sen.
ate that they have openly denounced
time and again as tool of the cor
porations.

WINTER BASEBALL
FROM THE INSIDE
By Addie Joss.

Dy huUle JOSS.
One of the hardest things a
pitcher is called upon is to finish
a game started by some other
twirler.
Usually the pitcher sitting on
the bench is called upon to relieve
his fellow pitcher when the oppo-
sition Is hitting with regularity.
1t is established among players
that once team starts cloutfng
nothing short of a miracle viii
stop 1t.
When a club starts hitting every
member seems to think he can hit
anything pitched.
Frequently a change of pitchers
will stop batting rally, but just
as often the new twirler Is treated
as shabbily as his predecessor.
What makes it particularly hard
for the second man is the fact
that many times he is not ready
for such task, not having had
time to get thoroughly warmed up
before taking up the unfinished
work.
1t Is tough on a pitchers arm
to leave the bench, practically
cold, step into the box and work
as hard, if not harder, than If he
had been thoroughly groomed.
There are few box artists bless
ed with ability to do this, and
when a club is fortunate enough
to have such a man on its pay roll
it possesses an inestimable asset.

Dear Dad: From Panama
have received pink-bound
pamphlet signed by a lot of gen
tlemen with Spanish names. It's
a petition to His Excellency Theo
Roosevelt, from the merchants
bankers and business men of Colon
and Panama. A careful examina-
ton shows it to be polite request
to be permitted to exploit the
Americans engaged in digging the
Panama canal. The merchants
bankers, etc., do not like the
commissary system. They hoped
to get rich selling things at high
prices to the rich and foolish
Americans. Now the r. and I.
Americans are buying good food
at cost through their government.
1t is very hard for the bankers,
merchants and others. But / am
re minded of friend of mine who
proposed to organize the Cooper
alive and Mutual Order of Down
Trodden Burglars and Second
Story Workers, and started his
enterprise with a petition to have
locks abolished and the police

The latest converts CD to the
cause of forest conservation" are
the members of the lumber lobby,
to be found any nice evening now
in the rotunda of the Willard ho-
tel. There is Chas. Elliott Defe-
baugh, editor of the American
Lumberman, published in Chicago
and engaged by the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers association to
head the lobby. With him are Ed
Hines of Chicago, J. B. White of
st. Louis, Fred Weyerhaeuser OF
Minneapolis, J. e. Rhodes of Min.
neapolis, Victor Beckman of Wash
ington, and others. These are tht
gentlemen who are trying to per
suade congress to keep a 50 duty
on lumber. Their object (if yor
believe them) is to preserve theij
monopoly in the American forests.
Bless you, no. It Is to preserve
the forests. You see, 1t works thi.
way: If we consumers pay the
trust big prices for lumber, then
the lumber trust can afford to
handle the forests sparingly. See?
They won't burn and waste and
devastate, as they have been do
ing for 20 years. They will sud-
denly reform. And the consumer
will go on paying the big prices.
And the Canadian supply will go
on untapped. And all will be as
lovely as a lumber trust. See?
Every member of congress has
had a chance to eat free meal
at the expense of the lumber trust.
