They are a migratory people, never
remaining longer than a few weeks in

In the winter time they settle on the
ice in the centre of a bay and hunt
seal.
In the summer they go to the centre
Of the island, where they eat the Carl
bou which there abound in thousands.
Once in great time they capture one
of the rare specimens of Barren Land
bear.
Their houses are made Of snow,
with a roof of driftwood which on rare
occasions is found on the coast. The

Bohumir Kryl was and will be remembered by all as mem Der and the leading cornetist in Sou sas Band and others and was featur- ed with these organizations. He has with him the very best of talent that can be secured from any of the for .eign bands. These following clippings show the success the band has had in many cities:

 Cincinnati Enquirer-There is no band that has ever played in the Zoo, that has made greater hit than Kryls. He is great Conductor and the head of a great band.
 Cincinnati Commercial Tribune-It may be accepted as a fact that Kryl has afforded the memorable engage ment of the summer at the Garden and further that many summers may come and go before another band or leader of kryl's character and of Kryl's excellence will he heard by To- cal music lovers. Kryl is a genius The audience that has heard his play CTS has been alarmorous for encores and so great has been the enthusiasm that the program had been drawn out to double the intended length.
