H umbrella business and he hadn't been Iwaiting there more than minute twhen came along; so he had made grand start and naturally be was very tmuch pleased.
 T had asked him when hired him r how much 1t would cost to take me home, and he didn't know. We talked about that as we went along. I
 told him he ought to have a regular
 schedule of charges. according to the ! distance. and I asked him what he ; would think of charging. say. cent a block. charging long blocks as two; ! but he tho4ght that would be too little: he was inclined to think that 10 cents would be about right T asked him if his mother knew he 1 was out on this work. and he said, oh, yes. she had given him the umbrella; and I might say, here that it was a very good umbrella. and big; it pro- .tected my hig hat perfectly. Inci- dentally learned that my escort had a sister. older than himself and that he went to Public School So-and-So.
 he told me, and he told me where it
 was and how to get to it.
 Then I asked him what he was go-
 ing to do with the money he earned this way. and he said he was going to keep it in a bank. but he didn't know yet what he was going to do with it. l asked him if he knew what he was isoing to do when he grew up.
 don't know yet he said: so imagined that he had not yet got his mind very firmly fixed.
 By this time we had gone some distance. and we were still keeping steadily on: presently the boy said to me:
 '' Is it much, furthery and l told him not much; and then he explained to me that he wanted to get back if he could and get another customer in this rain. But he was just as nice about it as he could be-he was nice boy-and in a minute more we came to the end of the journey. with my hat all right. It had been under stood between us that I was to give him 10 cents. but gave him extra to put in his band. and then he took the umbrella and scurried back to see if he could get another customer.
 Wasn't that all very interesting, I had never dreamed of anything like this happening to me. but here was now hiring an umbrella boy myself. just like I'd read about in the stories in the papers. We never can tell what's going to happen to us."

In fact. Phoenix is in need of new school houses now and they will have to be built. somewhere. With the pres ent northern limit none will likely be built in the northern part. of the dis trict. where most of them already are But if the district should be extended the new houses will likely be put Ap where they will have to be sometime.
 Those who are familiar with the pride and loyalty of the people of the Osborn school district will not be sur prised to learn that the project is being widely discussed there as the pro posed annexation of Phoenix school district to osborn" It is said though that the name of Osborn for the new district will not be insisted upon.

TREASURY STATEMENT.
SOUTHERN ROAD BUILDING.
Figures show Increase Over That Of Las
Years.

Years.
Baltimore Dec Especial 1.-The an
nual review of Southern railroad building,
which The Manufacturers Record publishes
in this weeks issue. shows that during 1909
2,03l miles OF railroad were built in the
South. including Missouri and Oklahoma. In
the South proper the construction totaied
1855 miles, an increase OF 2o1 miles as com
estimated up to December 81, and, excepting
last year, constitute the smallest record for
a year Of railroad construction which the
South has shown for a long time. The pros
pect for next year is. however, that 5000
miles VIA be built in the South. and. includ-
ing Oklahoma and Missouri. s.743 miles. or
plated for 1909.
All the large systems in the South and
Southwest with the single ,e exception OF the
structing new mileage. That system, how
ever, has plunged in boldly to the execution
of extensive plans in the western part Of
Texas. and is building and will complete sew
eral hundred miles there next year. The
Rock Island, and also the Frisco system.
have some plans in view. but up to the pres
ward executing them. As for the rest of
the roads, about all that has been done was
to finish up work already undertaken. The
Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast
Line have devoted considerable attention to
double-track work. but that 10 not, properly
speaking. new construction. as II does not
extend the systems. although 1t materially
increases the capacity of the existing roads.
Texas again leads the list with the highest
figure for new construction, her total for
1909 being 7ss miles. much more than any
other state the nearest approach to 1t being
Georgia, with 1872 miles. Oklahoma where
there ouhgt to have been much new line
constructed, shows only 131 miles, a small
showing. which is due mainly to her legisla-
tive attitude toward railroads Other states
which report moro than 100 miles of line
constructed during he year are West Virgin
ia, 140: North Carolina 153; and Florida
100 For next year Texas will probably
build LBS miles. but the next figure to this
in size is shown by Missouri, only 1855 miles
Then comes Florida 36S miles, Oklahoma
