same came from the country" as the

Cadet band, only boys who have been
raised out in the country being al

Miss Ruth Kennedy all in the cast

EARLY USE OF ICE SKATES
Holland Conceded to Be Birthplace
Of Skating and Undoubtedly First
Praetleed There.

To "necesslty's sharp pluck" not to
q desire for amusement, says the
New York Evening Post, We owe the
invention Of skates and their early
use. Holland is conceded to be the
home and birthplace of skating, and
It was undoubtedly first practiced
there and in the far north.
In a country Of lakes and canals the
necessity Of walking and running on
the ice must have been felt from the
earliest days. and, indeed, they were
found In one Of the mounds on which
q Frlesland village was built. The
skates were fastened to the feet by
straps passed through holes made in
the bones. A Danish historian men
lions the sport in 1884.
The bone skates were also the kind
first used in England. FItzstephen,
in his account Of the amusements Of
the young people on the ice in Lon
don during the latter part Of the
twelfth century, notes that It was usu.
nj for them to fasten the leg bones Of
animals under the sOles Of their
feet BY tying them around theiI
ankles, and then taking q pole they
pushed themselves forward BY strik
ing against the Ice. and moved with
great rapidity.
