A New "COn'; Cane.

When you see a bill f1uttering to the
ground from the pockets of a pedes-
trian, don't pay n attention to it and
if the finder volunteers to split it with
you hang On to your money. Michael
Arzmann wishes he had followed this
advice.
Michael had a Dad streak of luck yes
terday. He is a Woodworking employee
in the rolling mill. For two years he
has been saving mis- money to bring his
wife from Germany. She arrived in Mil
waukee a few days ago.. Michael had
found a suitable fiat and paid So down
to clinch the bargain. Clutching $3.50
in his hand he started off to pay the
balance Of the first months rent. Cross
ing Sixth street viaduct he saw a man
ahead of him drop a bill which appear
ed to be money. He picked it up,
thought it was $50 and was in the act
of calling to the stranger to notify him
of his loss when another approached
him and said:
Get on to the guy trying to show Off
that he has money. | know him we'll.
Used to pal with him. He would not
even thank you II you returned the
money. He has stacks of that. I'll tell
you what. You keep the bill and just
give me one-half in change, and no one
will be the wiser"
Good, God, do l look as If | had
that much money about me? This is
all that l have, showing the $3.50.
you seem to be an honest chap, and
on second thought do not need the
S25 as bad as you, seeing that your
! wife has just blown into town. Give
me what you've got and | will call
around for the balance later on"
Michael turned over his money 3nd
pocketed the bill.
Michael hurried to his landlady. With
a profund bow he handed her the new
ly found bill.
Man, what are you trying to do"
exclaimed the landlady fercely. "Ill
teach you that 1 am not to be tr1fied
: with"
She jumped on the next car and SAY
: Inspector Beimer. After he had heard
. her charges against ArZmann whom
she accused of trying to pass counter
felt money on her he sent for the I'M
suspecting Slavonian. AS soon as the
inspector saw the scrap of paper he
smiled:

over."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

PECULIAR HITCH IN THE LAW
Could Not Get Wine For Communion.

jonathan Gordon came to town Sat
urday to get some wine for communion
service at Oak Grove Baptist church,
Int vas unable to do so. The aw pro-
viding Tor the medical depository says
that VINE may be sold for communion
PURPOSES, and this vas the full intan-
ton of the friends of the measure, but
by IN oversight the law vas not made
to say who should have the authority
10 buy it o on whose request the
keeper might sell it. This defect was
not noticed until after the law went
into effect, and 4 stock of communion
wine was bought along with liquors.
But this wine is On hand and cannot
be sold. But wine for this purpose
may be bought from persons who made
it themselves from material on tteir
own premises. Squire KrimmI1ger
states that he has ordered some infer

which he can sell without a prescr;p-

CATAWBA AND YADKIN
Immense Possibilities From. Develop
ment of These Water Powers.

Every day shows the OF
this piedmont region To be larger than
had been conceived before. Yesterday
we were Boosting of the MAGNITUDE OF
the Catawba Power Company's plant
of ten to fifteen thousand horsepower.
Today the story is OF 10000 horse
power from the Catawba and $1,000
from the Yadkin. And the best OF it
all is that Charlotte is the central and
commercial point of an area within
which this power must be used. As
has been pointed out this power is
enough to run as many more spindles
as are already in operation south OF
the Potomac. The work of construc-
ton alone will give employment TO
many men and the total investment
will reach into the millions. Who
would have yer thought twenty years
ago of such things for these old pied
mont hills?-Charlotte Chronicle.
