Can a woman do big things like men? Yes, some of them can. One ' wman in a hundred is quicker to see ' big ideas than most men, but the oth ) er ninety nine prefer to let George ) do it. > Old Mrs. Bullywinkle was the one k woman in Gap’s Ridge, a lttle Chatham ' village, who thought she knew it all, ' her husband a poor little dried up man > henpecked to the last degree, didn’t ) know anything as his big, fat wife said, but eat and sleep. Mrs .Bullywinkle thought she could make lots of money taking in boarders at so much per week, and told her husband so. Os course Bulwinkle ob jected. He was making a salary large enough to take care of both of them and have some to spare to put in the bank. The old man knew enough to look out for a rainy day, even if it never rained, and also to keep out of debt, even if he was a dried up, ugly, son of-a-gun, and he knew his wife had big ideas of making money, living high, wearing fine clothes and try ing to get into the “Sassiety” of the town, and he tried to out talk her. Nothing doing, and the boarding house Seven or eight young men engag ed board right away, and right then poor old Bullywinkle was ignored. His wife paid as much attention to him as if he had been a butterfly in the open air The first week all the boarders paid up. Forty eight dollars! And the old lady counted her money over and ov er again. “I knew I could make money keep ing boarders,” she told her husband. The old man sighed and said noth ing. He knew how it wa going to end. was opened. This kept up for a month, and still the gang paid their bills. Then bills for groceries began to pour into the old man. He didn’t know what to make of it. He thought his wife was paying cash for all she bought. “Look here, Mrs. Bullywinkle,” he said to his wife. “What does this mean ? ” and he forthwith pulled out a handful of bills and showed her. “Well you know I had to have sev era new dresses and new bonnets in order to be up to date with such a nice lot of young men boarders and I have used the money to buy clothes. You keep your mouth out of my business or else you can go and get you a board ing place somewhere else,” said the woman. The old man took her at her word, drew all of his money out of the bank and left town and left the bills unpaid. Mrs. Bullywinkle ran her boardiing house for a few weeks longer. Half f the young men finally quit, leaving her in debt, and the other half would n’t pay her. The butcher, the grocer and dressmaker refused to credit her and she finally gove up and wonder ed what had become of her absent husband. She had to sell her frocks, her jewelery, her bonnets and her furni ture,and when it was all over old Mrs. Bullywinkle had nowhere to go, all her friends had forsaken her, because she had treated her husband so bad. The old man kept track of her though friends and finally came back to her, settled up all the bills, bought new furniture and lived ever happily thereafter. The above goes to show that while some women are smart and can make both ends meet, this one couldn’t and didn’t. ’ JOE SNYDER. STRANGE AND CURIOUS, Peculiarities That Will Astonish Almost Anyone.

Indians and white men fished 5 in it, and used it as a means of travel with their canoes, but until • some 20 years ago, the aid of the i mighty giant that slept beneath those waters was not invoked by mankind, s But today the Catawba River is i turning the wheels of 300 cotton > mills, and keeping five million spin -1 dies busy turning cotton into cloth. ; There are now nine waterpower * station on the Catawba with a ca pacity of 420,000 horsepower and a l storage capacity of 175,000,000,000 i gallons of water. According to A. ‘ C. Lee of the engineering staff of the Southern Power Company, “the ; Catawba River, with two new de velopments now unde4 continuation, will probably be the finest example in America ,of the intensive and in telligent developement of a great nat ural resource.” Much of this development has come in the last decade. In 1915 the waters of the Catawba were fur nishing the power for only 11 cotton j mills with less than 175,000 spindles, Today in addition to the 300 mills served, numerous other industries are provided with power, and many cities and towns of the section are furnished with electricity for light- j ing and other domestic uses. The Catawba presents the spec- ■ tacle of a mighty river completely harnessed, or nearly so, to perform the labor of mankind. There are hundreds of other streams in this and other sections of the country that have similar posibilities. To place their powers at man’s service is one of the most important and necessary tasks of invested capital of the next decade. —Greenville, S.
