BOOKKEEPING B. c.
Discovery of Clay Recoros of Bust
ness transactions, Temp.
Darius II.

An American archaeological expedi-
ton eXcavating at Nippur discovered
recently in a room 20 feet below the
surface some 730 clay tablets, the busi-
ness records of a rich firm of mer-
chants, Ulurashu Sons. These docu-
ments are dated in the reigns of Artax-
erxes 1. (464-42f 3. c. and Darius IL.
(423-4G5- B. c.. The tablets are of va
rious sizes, some resembling the or
dinary cake of soap of commerce.
They are covered with cuneiform
characters clear and distinct as when
the bookkeeper of Ulurashu inscribed
them 2,5O0 years ago, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Among them is this guaranty for &c
years that an emerald is so WI. set
that it will not fall out:
"Bel-ahiddina and Bel-shumu, sons OF
Bel. and Hatin, son of Bazuza, spoke
unto Bel-nadinshumu, son of Morashu
as follows: "As concerns the gold ring
set with an emerald, we guarantee that
for 20 years the emerald viii not fall
out of the ring. If it should fall out
before the expiration of 20 years Be-
ahiddina (and the two others) shall
pay to Bel-nadinshumu an indemnity
of ten mana of silver"
Then follow the names of ten wit
neses and of an official who is described
as "the scribe of the Concordance OF
Proper Names" The document con-
cludes with the thumb-nail marks OF
the contracting parties.
There are also leases of various kinds
and contracts for the sale of sun-drie6
bricks and other merchandise, and for
the loan of seed corn and oxen for plow-
ing.

These Children.

And there was a certain man who,
being a merchant with trade to look
after, was a member of the church, in
fact an elder therein. One day he in
vited his pastor home to dinner, and
while they sat in the parlor waiting for
the call to table he began to tell of a
brother elders misconduct and griev-
Gus sin. 81 only tell you this because
you are the pastor and l think you
ought to know it. I never mention it to
anyone else" And he repeated this
several times during his recital. AS it
was about completed in came his little
daughter. Catching the subject of the
conversation, she broke in with this ex=
clamation: "My goodness, pa! You're
surely not telling that old story again"

Pennsylvania plays Badly.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 1S-The Uniyer-

Wesleyan eleven on Franklin Field this
afternoon and the best the Quakers could
do was to score II points to the visitors

the game for the Quakers was rather an
experimental one, and it was a frequent
occurrence for Coach Woodruff to make
substitutions, which ultimately had their
effect, Pennsylvania played poorly in the
first half as we'll as in the early portion
of the second half. 1t was not until

second half that she played with aggres-

The amount realized from the sale of ST.
COO, 900 of the bonds will be used in taking
up the floating Indebtedness Of the com
pany incurred in putting in the under
ground electric system on the line. The
other $500 600 of the issue will be held
in the treasury to provide funds for any
further extension of the line that may be

The plan of the company as far as It
has been formulated is that the bonds
shall be issued pro rata to the stock
holders of the company at par. 1t is be-
Iieved by the directors to be certain that
this plan will be accepted by the stock
holders at their annual meeting in Janu-

assured.
