Simmons, with Frank Brooks' permission, has done some great things for the Skylight City Bottling Works. Next time you are out that way ask Biooks to take you into the bottling works. Simmons' paint brush has made everything new and spot less and it ought to be a pleasure to those who drink the products of the "Skylight City" to see what a sanitary, cleanly place the drinks come from. But they didn't stop there. Simmons has painted some signs about a thou sand feet long on the buildings in the rear of the store. They can be read without glasses fiom the trains and for many blocks around and are really classy looking signs. 0 HERE'S HOW THE WORD "QUIZ" WAS ORIGINATED Hoaxers exist in every profession and walk of life: thev flourish in every age and clime; they ply their art either as a means of livelihood or from the sole desire to gull the credu lous public. It was the latter which incited that prince of practical jokers. Theodore Hook, to perpetuate the most audacious of all hoaxes. Hook bet a guinea that a certain modest dwelling in a quiet thorouehfarc lead ing out of Oxford street, would be come the most notorious house in the town, and set about winning his wager by addressing a thousand letters, con taining orders to tradesmen, with the request that they would at a certain hour on a certain day deliver their goods at a certain house in Berners street. The lord mayor, the lord chief jus tice, the archbishop of Canterbury and commander-in-chief were among the many victims that fell into the trap, spot, experienced the most unceremo nious treatment amid the turbulent and exasperated throng. ' As a result or a bet between the Duke of Montague and Lord Chester field that the former would, by ad vertising an utterly impossible pei formance, find fools enough to fill a I playhouse, it was announced that on' January 10, 1749, on the stage of the Haymarket theater, a person would get into a tavern quart bottle, and while there sinir several sontrs. On the cveninir appointed for the .accomplishment of this marvelous feat the house was packed from floor to ceiling, among the expectant audience being no less a personage than the Duke of Cumberland. For a while all sat in patient silence, but, on the curtain not risinsr. catcalls and whistles soon swelled to open riotJ some one threw a lighted candle upon tne stage, and a general stampede 10 that part of the house immediately followed, and in the melee that en sued the Duke of Cumberland lost his sword. A hoax equally diverting, and with no harmful issue, was that originating with Daly, the manager of the Dublin theater, who wagered that within 24 hours he would introduce a perfectly meaningless word into the English language. To effect this he chalked on every wall to which he could gain access the four letters Q U I Z, which at once set all Dublin wondering as to their significance--wondering in vain, tne sole result or the general bewil uerment being tne circulation of a word that has remained curient till the present day. ACCOUNTING KNOWN ' TO BE AN OLD SCIENCE Legal Records EAGLE GROCERY TO MOVE; Accountancy, which is the science of systematizing business, has a history that runs back at least 4,000 years. Very early in the development of na tions, it was found that in commerce, as well as in the affairs of the state, systematic and careful account keeping-were indispensable. These sys tems were, at first, crude and labori ous, but they at least kept the finances of the nation and the marts of trade from being chaotic. The invention 6f double-entry book keeping early in the Fifteenth Cen tury, by the merchants and bankers of Venice, gave to the commerce of Europe an invaluable trade instrument and one without which the great com mercial enterprises of the later centu ries could hardly have existed. And so it has been on down to the present time; there has been a parallel of progress between the accomplishments of commerce and the science of ac counting, and it is known to every man in business that the former could not continue without the latter. Bookkeeping, as a formal subject of study, is taught in most of the public and private schools of this country; but it is only that form of bookkeep ing that applies to the affairs oWhe merchant or the shopkeeper. The pub lic has yet to learn that beekkeeping is quite as necessary to the prosperity of the wage worker, the salaried man, the farmer and the housekeeper as it is to the shopkeeper, the merchant or the manufacturer.
