BOWEN’S RACKET STORE ___ FEDERAL COURT SUIT INVOLVES OLD CASE Woman Sues Dowling For Money Claimed Due But He Denies The Claim. (Norfolk News, Oct. 31, 1924.) A petition filed in the federal dis trict court here Wednesday makes William L. Dowling, Madison, the de fendant in a suit brought by Cynthia A. Carson, Canova, S. D. Mrs. Car son alleges that Dowling, acting as her attorney, failed to make entire payment of $16,427.40 which was awardd to her by the courts of Ne braska in a suit against Howard Greeley and Peter Greeley, residents of Holt county. In an answer filed Wednesday Mr. Dowling states that Peter Greeley had secured a judgment of $9,910 in the district court of Holt county against Mrs. Carson, and then re strained her from obtaining an exe cution against Greeley or taking any further steps for the collection of the judgment. The case was then settled he says, for $7,000 out of which he scuif>d a lee of $3,000 although he says he was entitled under the terms of the contract, a copy of which is attached ot his answer, to half of the amount recovered or $3,500. In November, 1919, Mrs. Carson secured a judgment of $14,017.90 against the Greeleys growing out of an exchange of land. The case was appealed to the supreme court of Ne braska where the judgment was affirm ed, in February, 1922. Mrs. Carson alleges that Dowling made to the Greeleys or their attor neys a complete satisfaction of judg ment held by her against Greeleys and authorized and directed the clerks of the courts to release and discharge records, and that satisfaction was later filed in the offices of the re spective clerks of the district courts of Saunders and Holt counties. Mrs. Carson charges' that an ag gregate sum of $4,000 was paid to her and Dowling refused to pay the balance. In her suit for judgment against Dowling Mrs. Carson is ask ing for the sum of $12,427.49 which includes interest on her judgment against the Greeleys. Mr. Dowling stated in his petition that he entered into a settlement with Peter Greeley and his attorneys where by the judgment of $9,910 was offset and deducted from the amount due Mrs. Carson which amounted to over $16,000 and that Mrs. Carson received the sum of $7,000 and that a settle ment was filed in the proper courts. The defendant also stated in his answer that he paid Mrs. Carson $4, 000, retaining for his services $3,000, out of which he has paid some of the expenses of the suit. He also contends that Mrs. Carson ratified and approved- the terms of the j settlement and is therefore estopped | from making any further or other ' claim.

Buckskin Buckskin, from which gloves nre made, for the most part comes from Mexico and Brazil. The skins are usually smaller than those of sheep, and seldom perfect, because of the wounds or thorn scratches. The lat ter do not weaken the gloves, however, and, in fact, a visible scratch is pretty good proof that a glove Is genuine buckskin. The leather is dressed in oil and the color Is obtained with col ored clay dust. Because of this method of coloring, every Buckskin glove will dust off or crack the first three or four times it is worn. Buck leather is close flbered, soft after wear ing and warm.

Until 1 saw him I had always believed that a man of great ability showed hls genius In some feature or other, but I could find no hint In Ruskln's face or figure that suggested abnormal talent. Hls appearance was not even pre possessing, Ho looked shriveled up and shrunken, though he was perhaps five feet seven In height; ho was slight to frailty and stooped; In splto of a large nose, hls face was too small, bony, thin and very wrinkled; the i gray hair that must once have been [ reddish was carefully brushed flat; the beard and whiskers were gray, too, nnd straggling thin; the eyes were I bright, grayish-blue In color, quick glancing now, now meditative under i the thick outjuttlng brows; ,the high aquiline nose was matched by a some what receding chin; nothing In hls face or figure was Impressive or ar I resting; hls clothes even were loose nnd ill-fitting; his manner shy, self conscious, unassured; I was disap pointed to doubting hls ability. But as soon as he got excited in speaking I noticed hls voice, a thin high tenor irresistibly pathetic; It of ten walled and sometimes cursed, but was always Intense. The soul of the man was In that singular, musical voice with Its high rhetoric and Im passioned moral appeal. Cotvs Peacefully Graze Where Once War Ruled Southern Denmark has many things to show to the stranger within her gates, and In the south of Seeland— best known of the three Islands, ferry bridged, which, together with the resti tuted portion of Schleswig-Holstein, make up the modern kingdom of Den mark—one may visit a model Danish dairy farm which has Its being In a Sixteenth century fortified farmhouse, says the Christian Science Monitor. At the quaint old farm of Holmer gaard a stone taken from the ancient archway gives the date of the build ing as 1571, and, though the white wash which covers the masonry hides its rugged outlines in part, still where the water of the moat laps the foun dations one can still see the massive forms of the old stones. There are many of these old forti fied farms In Funen and Seeland, now happily requiring no moat to guard them against aggressions, but in old en days they were little forts’ in themselves, sheltering In troublous times the whole neighborhood and storing provisions enough for a siege In their capacious granaries. The out buildings of Holmergaard are im mense, built around a great quad rangle paved with cobblestones. Making Writers Efficient A "scheme of work’’ for writing short stories Is given by Max Bonter in “Fiction Writers on Fiction Writ ing,” the short story analysis com plied by Arthur Sulllvant Hoffman, from answers to a questionnaire he sent more than 100 authors concern ing their creative methods. The scheme is: 1. Be sure an Idea Is worth develop ing, from a “human Interest” stand point. 2. Develop the climax first. 8. Start off the characters like a bunch of obstacle racers and bring them to the climax as quickly, but as logically, as possible. 4. Write tersely at first, expanding where advisable—rather than write voluminously and chop out. 5. Write nothing that won’t at least put a grain of weight Into the final wallop. Birth of Christ The Christian era was first figured out in about 532 by a monk named Dionysius Exlguus. At that time the actual date of Christ’s birth was only a matter of speculation. Later, when the calendar took more definite form, the birth of Christ was put on the 25th of December, but it was found to be impractical to change the date of the era which was already fairly well es tablished. As a matter'of fact, it is now believed that Jesus was born three or four years before the begin ning of the era known as the Chris tian. So we huve the anomalous fact that Christ was born about four years B. C. But the exact date of Christ’s birth is unknown. Lion of Lucerne The Lion of Lucerne is a famous piece of sculpture by Albert Thorwald sen, commemorating the heroism end devotion of nearly eight hun dred Swiss guards, who died to save Louis XVI, in the attack on the Tulleries, August 10, 1792. The colossal figure of the crouching lion, transfixed and dying, but still faithfully defending the shield of France, is carved in a recess in the face of an upright, vine-draped rock In a little park at Lucerne, Switzer land. A commemorative Inscription, with the names of the officers killed, is cut in the rock. Perspiration of Dogs Dogs sweat or perspire very little. The physiological purpose of perspira tion seems to be the regulation of the temperature of the body. But In the case of the dog, as well as many other animals, the body temperature Is regulated by respiration. After run ning a dog breathes more rapidly— pants. This has the same cooling ef \ feet as sweating would have. The Word uJovial** The word "jovial” concents the name of Jupiter, or Jove. A ‘•‘Jovial” per son is theoretically, at least, a person born under the Influence of the planet Jupiter, or Jove. This planet was supposed to be the most Joyful of all the planets to be born under, Just ns Saturn Is the least Joyful. Gradually the word “Jovial" became dissociated from the astrological sig nificance and was generally applied to porsons who Indicated the quality of Joyfulness ascribed to birth under a Joyful planet. Thus many a word In the English 1 language, in common use, traces its origin to mystic beginnings and beliefs In the darkness of past ages.—BIr- I mlngham Age-Herald. ---- Birds as Prophets In early days superstitious people | paid considerable attention to the , birds and their different cries, which | were believed to foretell events. Thus i comes the old saying: “A little bird I told me.” Traces of this belief are j to be found In our own Old Testament, where verse 20 of chapter 10 of Ec clesiastes speaks of ‘‘for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the mat ter.” It Is generally agreed that It Is from this belief In the universal knowledge of birds, which, of course, are supposed to see everything from the sky—that we get this saying. In the Highlands Mornings of heavenly freshness on the trail, canyons on canyons, peaks beyond peaks, ridges beyond ridges; sweet scents of balsam and pine; stormy sunrises -and wistful sunsets; lakes lying blue in hidden hollows or trembling to sudden sliver as the wind went by—quiet lyings awake at night, lolemn glories of sunset peaks; com liunlons with friendly trees; chatter tags of brooks; singings of creeks, and roaring of rivers; ghostly snow-glim mer by starlight; peaks In soldinn ranks against the sky.—J.
