took on the aspect Of a pitched battle be
tween two armies. II was played on hard
sandy beach. with two or three hundred
pIsvcrs on each side. Their implements
consisted OF roots Of trees and hard
wooden ball. one big game was played on
the FIRST day Of the year. II was in these

More than any other Of the games thet
developed from the Roman sport. the Brit-
ish hockey shaped the destiny OF ice hockey
This game in England was played on the
frozen ground. II consisted OF driving
ball from ono point 10 another by means
OF hooked stick. The players were dlVld-

The goals were upright posts. about six
feet apart, and between these the ball was
driven 10 score a point. The game was
called shinnv. possibly on account OF the
danger to which a players shins were ex-
posed.
Twenty-Five years ago the game of hockey

regularly organized hockey clubs in the
world. Other teams soon sprang up and
an association was formed to govern the
sport and rules were adopted. From the long
knotted roots, broom handles and clubs de-
veloped the regulation hockey stick. The
old tin can which was used a ball was
succeeded by the bung Of a barrel, tightly
wound with cord. The latter was finally
abandoned in favor of the solid rubber disk
used as a puck to-day.
The game was introduced into the United
States and sprang at once into favor as
a winter sport Artificial rinks afforded
the best facilities for the player and spec
tator. In Paris the first European team
was formed. London boasted Of the second

To the Friend Returned

From Harper Bazar.
 Hands of my friend, clasp you firmly once more, and I would that I need never let you go!
 Eyes of my friend, I look deep and eagerly. I peer into your life, searching your experience. asking if you are still true to me, demanding an answer. striv ing to show you clearly through my own eyes that l am still true to you
 Lips of my friend, I bid you be mute rather than speak the surface speech of acquaintance. I ask you to tell me of days grave and gay, of the throbbing hours of your joy or the dunn hours of your pain since last I saw you, or every garland given you, and of every gash cut upon your soul by rough time. Hide noth- ing for fear that I shall lack sympathy. Q
 Mind of my friend, 1 stand at the door, knocking, beseeching entrance Open that l may enter. once. more to behold your treasure, for I come not in the spirit of criticism I shall overlook flaws and pass gently past vacant spaces. to see you at your best. shall challenge your highest, cleanest thought, and on these same terms make my own mind open to you.
 Heart of my friend, I hunger and thirst for you. Grant me love. stanch and TO- bust, spiritual and unspeakable. Come al the holy way to meet me- Have no uncertainty about my love for you. For It is born of the winter and the summer, of the snows and Of the young flowers. and it is hardy; and of the kisses of peace and it is pure; 1t is born of the body and of the spirit, and 1t is sweet it Is born of the human and the divine. and it is great.
