SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The Famous Method known as the
B0ustroDh edOn.

The Famous Method known as the
BOustroDhedOn.
About the year $50 B. G. the Ionians
first introduced the system of writing
from left to right. Previous to that
time all Scribes and penmen in general
had been in the habit of beginning the
line on the right hand side of the page
and running it toward the left. The
introduction of the left to right mode
Of writing caused considerable confu-
sion for a time, and from the mixed
systems which prevailed during the fol
lowing century sprang the famed meth
cd known as the boustrophedon. Those
who used the system last mentioned
would begin line at the left margin
Of their parchmentS and run it through
to the opposite margin and then drop
a space below and run back to the op
pOsite edge of the sheet again. In 9th
er words. the boustrophedon mode of
writing was system in which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right to left This system did not
entirely disappear until about the time
of Christ The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages were written from
right to left. but at about the time the
Ionfans were reforming writing meth
DDS the Greek letters were changed in
form from the uncial to the cursive
and the system of writing was changed
In both cases so as to run from left to
right The following quotation from
Franklin illustrates the mixed, or bous
trophedon. system Of writing:

The Right Idea.

One would think the Laxative idea in
a cough syrup should have been adj
vanced long before it was. 1tseems the
only rational remedy for Coughs and
Colds would be to move tho bowels and
clean the mucous me m branes of the
throat and lungs at the same time.
Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar
does this. It is the Original Laxative
Cough Syrup, the best known remedy
for Coughs, Colds, Group, Wnooping
Cough, etc. Tastes good and harmless.

Auto Drivers in New York De-

A REVOLVER WAS USED
MEANS TO PROTECT HIS LIFE
BUT NONE is HURT-POLICE
CALLED OUT.

New York, Oct 25.-Three hundred
chaufeurs employed by the New York
Transportation company, which ope-
ates $50 public electric cabs, went on
strike for an increase in wages. As
a result. nearly all the cabs remained
in the ccmpany's big garage. A non
union man who attempted TO take out
one of the electric vehicles from the
gs age, was set on by crowd of strik-
e-s and dragged from his seat. He
was being roughly handled when he
drew a revolver and fired into the
crowd. No one was hit. A big force
of policemen, gho had been summoned
when the trouble began. arrived just
after the shot was fired. They charg-
ed the crowd and made two arrests.
After the trouble encountered by the
non-union chauffeur, it was decided
not to attempt to send out any more
machines without police protection.
President Mead of the transportation
company, said the company regards
the demands of the men as unjust.

GREAT FOOTBALL
GAMES TOMORROW
More Interest CenterS in Chi
Cago-Indiana Contest
Than Any Other.
EARLHAM VS.. WITTENBERG
QUAkERS SHOULD WIN AND IF
NOT THERE WILL BE DISAP-
POINTMENT WABASH AND
PURDUE CLASH.

Tomorrow will be another great day
in football.
Perhaps to Richmond followers of
the gridiron sport more interest cen
ters in the Chicago-Indiana game than
any other to be played in the West.
Last Saturday purdue faced Chicago
and was badly beaten. This Saturday
with practically the same team, if not
a stronger one than was conceded
the state championship last year, the
Indiana lads will face Stages great
Chicago eleven. Much depends on the
game. Indiana and Purdue do not
meet this year and their showing
against Chicago will serve to indicate
their respective strength.
Indiana can hardly be expected to
beat the Maroons but she can be ex-
pected to make a good showing and
it would not surprise followers of
football if she would score, perhaps
more than once. Much depends on
Bun Hare, the great quarter back
and twice captain. 1t will be a fight
between Eckersall and him for hon
ors.
Not much interest attaches to the
game at Springfield, Ohio, where
Earlham meets Wittenberg. Earlham
is expected to win. If she don't there
will be keen disappointment
At Lafayette Purdue is working ev-
an eleven which will defeat Wabash
tomorrow. There is no doubt that
the Boiler Makers are in a bad way
and the Little Giants" should win.
