GROWTH OF TELEPHONE
LENGTH OF LINES MORE THAN
OUADRUPLED IN A DECADE.
Year. Increased Hold of Bell
System on the Country.

The length of telephone lines in
use in the United States more than
quadrupled in the decade from 1902
to 1912. This was shown in a re-
port issued by the census bureau.
The statistics also showed the in
creased hold the Bell system has on
the country. In 1902 the system con-
trolled 81 per cent of the wire and
$50 per cent of the telephones in
use. In 1912 the system controlled
74.7 and 58.3 per cent respectively.
The statistics relate to the years
ending December 81, 1902, 1907 and
1912. They include the total wire
mileage and the total number of tel
ephones reported for all systems in
the United States that were in opera
I'tion all or any part of those years.
They do not include private tele-
phone lines used exclusively for COM
munication between different depart
ments of the same esta blishment I'M
less connected with lines elsewhere
through a private or branch ex-
change The number of telephones
includes all installed, including those
furnishing service through private
branch exchanges, local pay and out
lying toll stations
During the year 1912 the length
o. wire used on the telephone lines
Or the United States amounted to
20,24S,326 miles. This represents
gain of 15,347,S75 miles during the
decade or an increase Of 1882 per
cent,
The number of telephones report
ed by the Bell Telephone System in
creased by 1878 per cent during the
period from 1902 to 1907, and by
GA per cent from 1907 to 1912.
During the same periods the number
of telephones reported by all other
companies and systems increased by
1884 per cent and % per cent re
spectively.
1t is estimated that there were 49,
1876, 658,245 messages or talks sent
over the telephone lines of companies
which had an income q al least So
600 during 1912. A message may
represent either a few words or
long conversation, and these do not
indicate the extent to which the
equipment is used. 1t was impossible
to obtain even an estimate of the
number of conversations over the
private wires and the party lines
which do not require interconnec-
ton at the public or central ex-
changes. No estimates were requir-
ed concerning the number of mes
sages for the 1 ,402,84 telephones on
the lines of small companies which
had an income of less than $1,000
during 1912.

KING or GREECE A SOLDIER
Constantine Received an Excellent
Military Education and Has Given
Proof of Skill

Constantine, the new king of
Greece, is of Danish and Russian
blood, his father having been a son
of Christian TX of Denmark, and
his mother being the eldest daughter
of the Grand Duke Constantine, a
brother of Alexander II. King Con-
stantine was born in Athens, and
brought up under an English COVER
ness and German and Greek tutors.
Later on he went to Berlin, where
he received his education as a sol
der, being attached to the Second
regiment of Prussian Foot Guards.
In 1897 he took command of the
Greek troops in the war with Turkey,
but his army was crushed in Thes-
sally. In April last he was appointed
inspector general of the forces and
has since shown himself a soldier of
merit. AT the moment of his acces-
sion he was in Epirus, conducting
the military operations for sweeping
the Turks out of that province.

A young man anxious to have

A few days ago 1 saw gray haired
little woman hurrying to the post
office. Under her arm was a package
and her eye sparkled and her cheeks
were aglow as she started 1T on the
way to ''her boy'' in a neighboring
state. l know what that little pack
age contained. She always sends one
at this time every year. 1t is her
Christmas present to the darling of
her eye. In her humble little home
the light of the midnight lamp has
cleaned through the window for
nearly week. With tender fingers
she was making the hundreds of
stitches necessary to complete the
present. Every stitch was a prayer of
love for the absent one. 1 know her
boy is a counterfeit. l know that he
is not worth one of those hundreds of
stitches woven into that Offering of
mother love. But 1 am not going to
tell her so. Not for all the world
would l break the sweet charm she
rests under. If that counterfeit boy
has one single drop of decent blood in
his veins he will come to himself
some day and the lonesome little
mother in her humble little cottage
will never know the sad story that
would now break her lieartAOsborne
