woman in Congress, does not know

were many killings. Armament makes

a large lantern, affixed to three floating wooden
c~rossties, built V-shape, and anchored near a wall
in the river. This wall was built by the Govern
ment to deepen the channel and, at times, is hidden
by the water, forming a dangerous bar, upon which
any ship might easily be wrecked.
To this bar, rain or shine, snow or storm,
Mrs. Webb must row from her home up the
river, get the lamp and take it home, clean it and
I'll! Il, and in the evening take it back, light
it and place it in position, as a beacon to river
craft, who have come TO depend on it for their
safety during night navigation at this precari-
Gus spot Formerly this work was done by
a man, but when he moved away, Mrs. Webb
applied for and obtained the position, which she
has now held for over five years.
Floods and storms would long ago have
daunted a weaker heart than that of this brave
employee OF the United States Lighthouse Service,
but steadfastly she does her work, and brightly the
little light shines every night, as a sign of her con-
sclentious devotion to duty. In the interim she
enjoys herself, womanlike, in attending to the
household work OF her attractive home.
Four years ago. a terrible Ice jam occurred on
the river, and when the thaw came and the ice
broke up, a veritable avalanche OF floating bergs
and foes came sweeping down with the flood,
tearing boats and barges from their moorings and

E=A one OF the islands OF Greece, the
first lighthouse known TO history.
To-day, there are so many lighthouses, all over
the world, that we have come TO look on them as
commonplace and without much interest Only the
hardy mariner realizes their value, as he strains his
eyes to look for the saving light, through the storm
and fog.
In 1852, the Lighthouse Board of the u. S. was
organized by Act of Congress, and the Lighthouse
Service of the United States Government is now a
part of the Department of Commerce.
Mrs. Vernie Webb, lightkeeper at the conflu-
ence of the Elk and Kanawha rivers, near Charles
ion, w. Va, is one of the comparatively few women
lightkeepers in the employ of the u. S. Govern
ment While on a journey through this part OF the
country, | made the acquaintance of this interest
ing woman, and learned many facts about her
work and daily life.
Some lighthouse keepers have TO live in stern,
forbidding. lonely structures, rising perhaps on a
rock, out at sea. where fog almost continuously
obscures the view, while wind and storm render
the lonely spot a true prison, a place where strong
men have been known TO lose their minds; but this
little woman has a pleasanier nome, nestled on the
bank OF the river, looking down on a neighborly
colony of households, clustered on the stream, in
a nearby nook, brightly painted, fitted with lace
curtains, comfortably furnished, and decorated
with flowers and vines-supplied, in brief, with
all the comforts Of more solidly built homes.
Into this coy little nest was cordially invited
by Mrs. Webb, and spent some pleasant hours Of
bright, CHEEKY conversation with her, taking away
with me a vivid remembrance of the personality of
one of the most earnest workers and conscientious
people with whom have ever come in contact
For II or II years, Mrs. Vernie Webb, who
loves the river, has lived here in comfort and hap
piness, part of this time having been spent in one
of the pretty households. The beacon light that she
tends is simple but serviceable, being composed of

doing great damage. During this time there was
grave danger to the little boat upon which Mrs.
Webb depends for earning her salary in looking
after the light. Having no one TO help her, she,
herself, had to protect her boat from the floating
ice, and for many hours she had to take her position
on the boat, and fend off the grinding ice foes,
which threatened the destruction of her property.
Although almost exhausted, she stood fast until the
danger had passed, and that same night the light
was burning brightly in the spot near the danger
Gus bar, where it had burned continuously for so
many years.
Life in the Webb cottage must be pleasant
indeed, when Mr.. and Mrs. Webb are both at
home. MIR. Webb, however, being railroad man,
is often away, and so two large dogs protect the
place in his absence. There is plenty of work for
a good home-maker around the little cottage, for
Mrs. Webb keeps a COW, grows vegetables and
flowers, and keeps everything spick and span,
varying her household duties now and again by
taking her "John-boat' on a trip to town, where
she can do her shopping and perhaps drop In, for
an hour or so, at the movies.
Respectfully terminating my interesting visit,
! took with ME a statement about Cardui, the
woman's tonic, which Mrs. Webb gave me, cover
