The word "chess" is said to be cor.
ruption of the Arabic word sssheikh, !"
meaning chief or king. The,ga came
westward by way of Persia, where the
word sheikh became shah. It was the
gaue of the king. The term s'check"
is merely to give notice that the king is
attacked, and scheckmate" means s'the
king is dead;" tho verb mata being from
the same root as the Spanish matador, the
slayer OF the bull. The word check,
whether verb or noun, may be traced
through several curious ramiications
back to the Persian and Arabic. Even
the word exchequer is curiously tangled
up in this verbal network.

found in the rapidity with which these
multitudinous pieces are combined in a
single completed work, for, as an exper-
iment, some shoe factories have from
the leather completed pair of shoes in
less than an hour and half, and, as q
test, a single pair of mems shoes shavs
been finished IN twenty minutes.

THE SWEET, SAD YEARS

The sweet, sad years the sun, the rain.
Alasi too quickly did they wane
For each some boon, some blessing bore;
OF smiles and tears each had its store.
Its checkerod lot of bliss and pain.
Although It idle be and vain,
Yet cannot the wish restrain
That had held them evermore,
The sweet, sad years!
Like echo of an old refrain
That long within the mind has lain,
keep repeating DER and DER,
Nothing can e'er the past restore,
Nothing bring back the years again,
The sweet, sad years."
