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.

kuskin'a Voice About
His Only Attraction
I never met anyone In my life whose
personal appearance disappointed me
more than Ruskln’s, writes Frank Har
ris In American Mercury. 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;

went by—quiet lyings awake at night,
lolemn glories of sunset peaks; com

roaring of rivers; ghostly snow-glim
