OLD GLORY.

Before the war of independence our
flag had thirteen stripes, seven red ana
six white. and In the upper lcft-hand
corner was the union jack of England
During the war each colony had its
own flag. After the war, Washington
chose our flag to have thirteen stripes,
seven red and six whites, as before.
But, instead OF the union jack, In the
same place was to be blue field with
thirteen stars, and every time State
is added new star goes on tho flag.
Old Glory now floats over forty-eight
States. In little moro than century
our country has grown from thirteen
poor little colonies to a great, grand
Union, Long live America!

IN WINTER.

The snow fell softly to the ground
And OF course. 1t made no sound:
All the trees were bleak and bare.
ANA all the people were in despair.
There was dreadful frost that night.
And all the houses were shut up tight:
The plumbers came ana shut off the
light.
And all of the children were in great
fright.
In the morning the ground was all
covered with snow,
And all the boys were glad, you know:
Their slcds ran up and down the hill.
And they tumhled over like Jack and
Lill.

FEDERAL LEAGUE MEN
FIRE FIRST SHOT
CONTINUED from First Page1

by Charles Weeghman, president of
the Chicago Federal League Baseball
Club, told of the signing of the con-
tract by Killifer, who agreed to play
for three years for the Chicago Fede-
rails for total of s17,50O, or s5,S33.33
year. The contract, copy of which
was attached to the petition for an
enjoining order, expressly stipulated
the court was informed that Klllifer
agreed to devote his entire time and
attention to the service of the Chicago
| Federals.
$500 Was Advanced
The court was informed that $500
was advanced to Killifer on account
and was accepted by him and is still
retained. Failure to report for prac-
tice, in accordance with his contract,
was alleged against Killifer.
The bill set forth that one of the
principal positions on a baseball team
Is that of catcher; that on account Of
it's Importance and of the eXtraordin-
airy skill, adaptability and training
necessary for the expert playing of this
position, it is more difficult to secure
an expert catcher than any of the
other players"
A paragraph informed the court
that the defendant is baseball play
er, to wit: a catcher, of unique and
extraordinary skill and expertness, and
of such personal and intellectual char
acter that his loss cannot be substan-.
TALLY compensated for by the services
of some other baseball catcher"
Judge Out of City
The bill set forth that the Chicago
Federals would suffer irreparable in
jury unless a restraining order issue.
enjoining Killifer from playing with
clubs other than the Chicago Federals
and more particularly with the Phila-
delphia Nationals, with whom the
complainant believed Killifer was now
in active practice in preparation for
the opening of the baseball season.
Because of the absence of United
States Judge Sessions from the city,
I was impossible to secure a tempo
rary restraining order as originally
planned. The prayer for this was
stricken from the bill and, instead,
April 8 was fixed as the date for the
hearing on The question of a tempo
rary Injunction.

non-Christian world.

The anniversary of the Conference
Temperance Society was held at 7.30
last evening, when addresses that were
packed with hard. cold facts were
given. DR.. e. j. Moore, State superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
was the first speaker and he thrilled
the audience with his earnestness and
eloquence.
He said that the people Of all de-
nominations have united for the over.
throw of the saloon. The temperance
sentiment has grown more rapidly in
Pennsylvania than anywhere else in
this country; commercial life is awake,
and five of the leading daily news
parers of the State refuse to advertise
for the liquor traffic. and the two lead
ing dailies of this city cannot be used
for that purpose. A certain company
has recently made il mandatory that
every cmploye belonging to a lodge
that dispenses Intoxicating beverages
must present his discharge card or he
will be discharged by the company.
He showed, further, that S27, ,543 wage
earners have an average wage of more
than $500 per year, while in cities
where the saloon dominates the aver
age wage earning Is only $500 per
year. He showed the weakness of our
present law and insisted that we need
a measure that will allow US at the
ballot box to say whether or not the
saloon shall blot our country.
An informing speech was delivered
by the Rev. Clarence True Wilson,
d. D., OF the Church Temperance So
eiety. The speaker described the long
process to reach the pres
ent temperance standard.
