San Juan de Ulua.

In Vera CruH's harbor
Where foaming surges part,
The fortress san Juan de Uloa,
Sunk deep in Oceans heart;
Spread wide its hold incarnate,
AS bulwark born Of hate,
The century's foulest prison,
A victims dreaded fate,
Aye! in the very shadow,
Where flag of freedom leaped,
This terraced pile Of darkness
In funeral silence stepped
Crouched like a bood-murked Python
To crush in filth aud slime,
The struggling, writhiug victims
OF tyranny's regime,
We tremble at the menace,
OF drums that bert alarm"
We dread the noise OF conflict -
The battle uniform
We wait through days of Watching
And veil with bated breath
The Fear-lest sudden tidings
May tell Of loved ones death,
But what is Death A.? The heritage,
Ia which we all must share
20 savage man.made dungeons,
A beastly living lair
Where wraiths of men in helplessness
Immured in living tomb,
Are whelmed in racking torture
Aud poignant mental gloom.
#Half blind from semidarkuess
Aud drenched by running tide,
Their cries from depths uusounded;
Have with their madness wed,
Till Middle Age devices
Like traveller circling found,
Returned to teach the victims

know the direction in which most
of our prospective customers are go
ing.
Every merchant keeps some kind
of a record but most OF them keep
accounts which do not account.
Some merchants neglect to keep
complete records because It costs
money. but they pay for the records
anyway, whether they keep them or
not. In fact they pay most for the
records they don't keep.
Doing without a thing which is
needed does not save its cost. It al
ways costs more to do without q
thing witch is really needed than
the thing would cost itself.
w. d. Simmons, head Of the great
Simmons Hardware Company, tells
the story of a retailer who went
broke because he failed to realize
the importance of being able at any
time to show his creditors by record
just how his business stood.
He didn't keep the proper records
of the details OF his business. When
he got into close pinch and need
ed credit for additional capital he
could not show his banker nor the
supply house any reason why they
should not have the confidence in
him.
Things had gone so far before he
really knew the conditions he was
facing, that he couldn't possibly
save himself He was broke before
he knew it.
I'm talking with him afterwasdr,"
Mr.. Simmons said, 'I found that
he thought II he kept track of his
invoices until they we're paid, so as
to know how much he owed and to
whom he owed, and kept the amount
Of money the different people owed
him, that that was all that was
necessary.
ANY records other than those, he
thought were foolishness and Just
made extra work"
Every merchant has an accounting
system that he consider suffitient for
his business-Most of them even are
of the opinion that 1t is the best that
could be designed for their business.
That is why so many of the retail
stores are for sale--why only bare
five per cent of all the retailers make
a success of their business.
That is why SO many of them,
like the hardware man Mr.. Simmons
tells about. are unable to get credit
ia a pinch.
As a test. could you prepare state
ment of your business on short mo-
tice, that you. as banker. would be
willing to loan depositors money on?
Could you produce a statement in
twenty-four hours that would con-
vince cold-blooded, hard headed
creditor that you reall yknew your
business?
II you can't you may come down
to the store some morning and find
the sheriff ready to sell you out to
satisfy some fool creditor to whom
you can't prove that you are making
money.
Storms break very quickly some
times. Be ready for yours when it
comes.

Accounting at the Bank

By A. M. B urroushs


''The sort Of man the,
banks says No to is the man who
does not know all the facts
about his business. system.
Henry johnson was small gro
Ger whose speciality was fresh eggs
and good butter.
His trade increased under the stlm
ulus Of right methods and new clerks
were employed. Finally his business
reached a point where much larger
quarters and better facilities we're
necessary.
He kept his own books consisting
of day book and a ledger and did
not see the need for anything more.
The time came, however, when
more credit was needed to meet the
demands Of his increased business.
He went to the bank to seek the ac-
commodation.
The banker asked him for a state
ment OF his affairs. or course he
was unable to give satisfactory
statement and the loan was defer
red.
This was rather a rude awakening
to the necessities Of business. He
took the bankers advice and called
in an auditor. The auditor told him
that It would be necessary to adapt
his system of accounts to meet the
changed conditions Of business.
His single entry book had been
alright to start with, but they were
too incomplete. The completing en-
tries must be made at frequent in
tervals.
Additional accounts had to be op-
ened and the books kept in such a
way that he could know at all times
just where he stood.
In short, he needed to know as
much about this big business as he
was able to know about It when
the business was little.
The auditors advice was followed,
the system recommended was install
ed, and competent bookkeeper was
put In charge.
Mr.. Johnson soon realized that he
could now do what he had long de-
sired to bo--branch out 1t was no
longer necessity for him to be on
the job constantly to know what was
being done.
Mr.. Johnson has string Of stores
and is known as the grocer king
of his city.
He has long ceased to be the sort
of man the bank says no to. He
knows the detailed facts about his
business so well that the bank has
all kinds Of confidence in him.
There are lots OF business men
who do not really know much about
their usiness-bright. industrious,
business men," said banker. There
is a popular notion that a man is
expected to know his own business
but as a banker have grown skep-
tical about it.
"A man NAV be at HIS desk every
day and really not know what is
happening in his store.
"The thing that shows whether
the business mans request for cred
II is right or not is the statement he
shows you.
