Found Good Use for
That Biblical Phrase

Ruth, aged four, found grandma
reading and upon inquiry was told she
was studying her Sunday-school les
son. Teach me my Sunday-school
lesson, grandma" she said. So grand
ma taught her to say. Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not, for of such Is the kingdom
Of heaven"
A few days later Ruth's mother
went upstairs to make the beds. The
air was very cold from open windows,
and Ruth was told to remain below.
After a time Ruth called, Mamma,
I'm coming up"
Mother explained 1t was very cold
and Ruth might become Ill and she
must remain below. But Ruth per-
sisted and started to mount the first
stair.
Mother heard the tiny step, came to
the top Of the stairs and said, Ruth,
I forbid you to come up"
At this Ruth stamped her foot, and
with flashing eyes her outraged self
retorted, Ibid me not! Such is the
kingdom Of heaven !''-Youth's Com
panion.

Admitting Errors

Nothing is perfect, and you don't
have to claim an article Is perfect to
sell 1t. The best article Is the one that
has fewest things wrong with it: Like
the pumpkin that took the prize at
the fair.
"rve seen better pumpkins than
that" remarked a farmer.
Maybe so," bis neighbor replied,
but that amt the point This Is the
best pumpkin In the show"
A competitor may beat you In this
point or that. Don't argue against the
obvious. If you are trying to defend
an article or a position that has too
many features wrong, drop 1t. Take
up something worth while. Many an
argument and friend is won by the
man big enough to say that the other
is right.-System.

Early Bookkeepinp

OF the early forms of bookkeeping
practically nothing Is known. From
the works Of Leonardo Of Pisa 1t ap-
pears certain that the merchants of
Italy, France and Spain practiced sys-
temattc bookkeeping for some time
prior to the Thirteenth century. 1t is,
however, to the italian traders of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries,
the enterprising merchants Of Genoa,
Florence and Venice, that we owe the
system of bookkeeping which takes
the lead at the present time. In the
year 1494 Lupca Pacion, or Luca di
Burgo, Tuscan friar, published a work
which contained q treatise upon dou-
ble-entry bookkeeping. This Is the
first systematic treatment of the sub
Ject Of which we have any record, and
1t Is worthy Of remark that the more
complete system Of double-entry was
perfected and brought into general
use considerably before the system of
the single entry.

Last of Aztec Rulers

Montezuma was the last ruler Of
the Aztecs Of Mexico, whose fame is
due chiefly to his conflict with the
Spanish conqueror, fernando Cortez.
Montez1ma had been ruling IL years
In Mexico when the Spaniards ar
rived. His rule was so weak, how
ever, that the invaders, a mere hand
full in numbers compared to the ma
tive population. soon established
themselves securely. Montezuma was
taken prisoner, and when the Aztecs
could no longer tolerate the overbear-
ing conduct of the Spanish they called
on Montezuma's brother to lead a re
volt. While this rebellion was In
progress Montezuma died Some say
he was killed by the Spaniards, and
the invaders themselves gave out the
story that he was killed by a stone
hurled by one OF the revolters. while
he was attempting to quiet them from
the room Of the palace.
