THE GAME OF DRAuGHTs.
% Old Tha Its origin Is Lost In the
:. Mists of Antiquity.

Draughts in some shape or form is
doubtless a very ancient pastime. In
deed, the safest thing to say about it is
that Its Origin is lost in the mists of an
tiquity. Representations of persons
playing at a game resembling draNghts
are frequently found on ancient Egyp-
tian monuments at least 5000 years
old. The Greeks had a similar game,
from. whom possibly it passed to the
Romans. At least the old Roman game
Of latrunculi seems to have beensa kind
Of draughts. though it is doubtful if the
game as now played is very ancient.
The game was popular and we'll known
In France and Spain in the seventeenth
century and was probably played there
and In England centuries before that.
That it was from France the game
came into many Of the other countries
Ia evident from the fact that the French
name-jeu de dames-passed with it.
Dam or damme was once the regular
English name for one of the pieces. In
Germany the game is still called dame
spiel, In Holland the board Is dambord.
and In Scotland dambrod still survives.
In the United States the less usual
name Of chequers, spelled checkers, is
employed. Polish, Spanish. Italian and
Turkish draughts r varieties Of the
same game. The Polish game, which
has several peculiarities, was intro.
duced in Paris in 1923 and was at first
played on a board of 100 squares with
40 men.-Chambers' Journal.

know it isn't i'm human nature to

what they have to paint, whenever
