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.

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

It is economical liecaueejit can be quickly turned off when not
needed. 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. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less
money than electric light, but does it save you anything when It
limits opportunities for work and recreation, ruins yonr eyesight,
smokes your walls, mars decorations ami increases household work.
You can proliably save a dollar tomorrow by going without yonr
meals, but it wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you
save, but how you save, that counts. We are always ready to ex
plain the “ ins and outs” of the lighting proposition to you.
