" The fact that not less than 4,000 delegates are expected to attend the fifth session of the National Rivers and Harbors congress to convene at Washington on December 9th and continuing throughout tho two suc ceeding days, is a complete evidence of the deep interest taken in the vital question of waterway improve ment. The expectation is not only based upon the membership of the congress— a membership constantly growing— but upon the official noti fications from govenors of states, may ors of cities, presidents and secretaries of agricultural, industrial, commercial, financial and trade organisations and on notifications from local associations organised for the advancement of waterway improvement. DALLAS, DECEMBER 16, 17,18. C H IN A W A R E . I It’s far above the common kind both in quality and design. There is a tone to it which makes it suitable for any home and for any occasion. But for all its excellence the prices are surprisingly low. A faet that will not lessen its at tractiveness in yonr eyes, we hope. I oil magnate. Polk County Poultry Association, l I tinctive about our ^ Just as soon as Mr. Roosevelt leaves { the W hite House he will have to smell of every dollar that comes into his hands to keep from being caught j with Standard Oil money on his person. Even the “ Outlook,” which he is to edit, is owned by a Standard husband’s death three years ago, and she kept at it day and night She was so sweet, so brave, yet so desperately miserable over leaving her little girl alone In the world.” Dr. Van Valkcnberg sat silent. It was true, then. This was Katharine's child, lie had not known o f the death of Armitage nor of the subsequent poverty of his widow, but he had known Katharine’s baby, he now told himself, the moment he saw her. "W ell,” the nurse resumed, "after she died wc raised a small fund to buy some clothes for Hope and take her to Chicago to her new home. Mrs. Armitage has a cousin there who has agreed to take her In. None o f the relatives came to the funeral. There are not many of them, and the Chica go people haven’t much money, I fancy.” Dr. Van Valkcnberg was hardly sur prised. Life was full of extraordinary situations, and his profession had brought him face to face with many of them. Nevertheless a deep solem nity filled him, nnd a strange peace settled over him. " I want her,” he said briefly. “ Her mother and father were old friends of mine, and this thing looks like fate. W ill they give her to me—these Chi cago people—do you think?” Tears filled the woman’s eyes. "Indeed they will,” she said, “ and glndly. There was”—she hesitated— “ there was even some talk o f sending her to an Institution before they finally decided to take her. Dear little Hope! How happy she will be with you!” He left her and went back to the seat where Hope sat crooning to the doll. Sitting down, he gathered them both up In his arms, and a thrill shot through him ns he looked at the yellow curls resting ugalnst ids breast. Her child—her little, helpless baby—now his child to love nnd care for! He wiih not a religious man. Nevertheless n prayer rose spontaneously in his heart. “ Hope,” he said gently, “ once long ago 1 asked a little girl to come and live with me. and she would not come. Now I want to ask you to come and stay with me always nnd be my own little glrV nnd let me take care of you and make you happy. Will you come? The radiance o f Juno sunshine broke out upon her face and shone In the brown eyes upturned to his. How well he knew that look! Hope did not turn toward Nana, nnd that significant omis sion touched him deeply. She seemed to feel that here was a question she alone must decide. She drew a long breath as she looked up nt him. “ Really, truly?” she asked. Then, as he nodded without speaking, she saw something In his face that was new to her. It was nothing to fright en a little girl, for It wna very sweet anil tender, hut for one second she thought her new friend was going to cry. She put both arms around his neck and replied softly, with the ex quisite maternal cadences her voice had taken on In her first words to him when she entered the car: " I ’ll be your own little girl, nnd I'll tuke care of you too. You know, you said I could.” Dr. Van Valkcnberg turned to the nurse. •T shall go with you to her cousin's from the train,” he nnnounced. " I ’m ready to give them all the proofs they need Unit I ’m n suitable guardian for tho child, but,” ho added, with n touch o f the boyishness thnt had never left him, “ I want this matter settled now. The long tralu pounded Its way Into the station nt Chicago, and Dr. Van Vulkenberg summoned a porter. “ Take care of these things," he said, Indicating both rÇKlâlIt sets of posses sions w i t h a sweep of his arm. “ I shall have my hands full with my little daughter.” H e gathered her I n t o h i s a r m s a s he spoke, and she nestled against his broad chest with a child's unconscious sat isfaction in the strength and firmness of his clasp. ear axsTi.Ki) AG.uasT “ MerryChrlst- HIS BnOAD CIILST. mns!” sounded on every side. Everybody wns ab sorbed aud excited, yet there were few who did not find time to turn n last look on a singularly attractive little child held above the crowd In the arms of a tall man. She was laugh ing triumphantly as he bore her through the throng, and hla heart was In his eyes as he smiled back at her. W ITH H A L F AN E YE . I anybody can see there is som ething dia- .

With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn, when not needed, to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bill amounts to only about $2 per month.
