the superior court which restrained the
pitcher from playing with the Federais.
The Injunction also forbids the Federal

ration johnson was signed.
James A. Gilmore, president of the
Federal League. said later that the
league would make a Tight to retain

CHINESE JUNKS.
Their Shape Due to the Whim of Some
Ancient Autocrat

In striking contrast TO the modern
constitution and government OF China
are its industrial methods. The leaders
Uf the new republic have succeeded In
transforming the land politically. but
the every day life of the people re-
mains practically unchanged and the
primitive ideals Of era ftsmanship still
persist.
Chief among the industries which
have languiShcd for hundreds OF years
under the bliGhting Influence OF an ig-
norant. tradition bound autocracy Is
that OF shipbuilding. Because some
celestial Nero Of a bygone age decreed
that all ships constructed within the
realm should be replicas OF his majes-
tvs shoe. the Chinese mercantile ma
rine became a mere swarm OF enlarged
sampans OF weird shape known as
junks. and junk they surely are.
While the shpbuilders of Europe and
America were gradually progressing
from the caraval and the square rugged
Indlaman to the clipper ship and later
to the iron ship. and it's lneal descend
ant, the modern ocean greyhound, the
Chinese-pioneers in many lines OF
endeavUr-continued to build their rid
iculous seagoing slippers.
The inferiority of the Chinese upon
the sea today is directly traceable to
the whim Of an almost forgotten ruler
of the Flowery Land.-Detroit News.

Tradition has ii that from the early

sons. writes Grace Tabor In 'Old Fash

erous white weed. the jublant, smil
ing daisy, is an imported exotic.
From this old dooryard garden 1t
has danced to the music OF the east
wind straight across the land, up and
down the meadows. through the long
grass and the short grass. along every
highway and every byway. Wherever
man has gone ii has followed gayly.
Often ii has driven him completely
out of the fields he has made.
That Endicott valued the daisy
enough TO bring ii with him to the

continent, or perhaps by way of the
