United States Supreme Court
245 U.S. 440
Houston Oil Company of Texas v. Goodrich
Argued: Nov. 21 and 22, 1917. --- Decided: Jan 7, 1918
After hearing arguments upon the issues involved in this cause it seems clear that the writ of certiorari was improvidently granted and must be dismissed. Furness, Withy & Co. v. Yang-Tsze Ins. Ass'n 242 U.S. 430, 37 Sup. Ct. 141, 61 L. Ed. 409.
The controversy (presented in an action at law) is over title to a tract of land in Texas. Both parties claim under one Felder petitioners through a deed said to have been executed June 10, 1839, and respondents through one dated June 18, 1839.
As grounds for granting the writ petitioners alleged that the trial court erred in refusing to submit to the jury (1) whether the deed first dated was in fact executed; (2) whether it was presented for record before execution of the later one; (3) whether vendee in the junior deed was a bona fide purchaser for value; (4) whether the junior deed was forged; and (5) whether the action was barred by the three years statute of limitations. The propriety of submitting these matters depended essentially upon an appreciation of the evidence. Having heard it all, the trial court concluded there was not enough in support of any one of petitioners' above-stated claims to warrant a finding in their favor, and the Circuit Court of Appeals reached the same result. 226 Fed. 434, 141 C. C. A. 264.
The record discloses no sufficient reason within the rule long observed why we should review the judgment below. Forsyth v. Hammond, 166 U.S. 506, 17 Sup. Ct. 665, 41 L. Ed. 1095.
Dismissed.

United States Supreme Court
201 U.S. 321
Houston Texas Central Railroad Company v. Mayes
Argued: and submitted March 8, 1906. --- Decided: April 2, 1906
This was an action begun by Mayes in the district court of Llano county, Texas, against the Houston & Texas Central Railroad Company to recover a penalty of $475, by reason of defendant's failure to furnish seventeen stock cars, applied for in writing by the plaintiff under the provisions of certain statutes of Texas hereinafter referred to, for the purpose of shipping plaintiff's cattle from Llano, Texas, to Red Rock, Oklahoma, and for damages occasioned by defendant's negligence.
The petitioner alleged that the defendant company formed with two other railroad companies a continuous line from Llano to Red Rock, and were engaged as common carriers in the business of shipping live stock and other freight; that on April 9, 1903, plaintiff, being the owner of six hundred and twenty-five head of cattle, made application in writing to the local agent of the road for seventeen stock cars, to be delivered on April 20, and deposited with the agent one fourth of the freight on the same, namely, $268.82, promising to pay the remainder on demand, and that he afterwards paid the same; that upon the day named, April 20, he had cattle sufficient to load the cars, delivered them to the defendant at its stock pens at Llano for shipment, but the defendant failed to furnish the cars, and did not furnish the same until the afternoon of the 21st April, 1903.
The trial resulted in a judgment in favor of the plaintiff for $425 penalty for delay, and $500 damages to the stock while in the pens at Llano. This judgment was affirmed by the court of civil appeals, and an application for a writ of error to the supreme court of the state was overruled.
Messrs. Maxwell Evarts, James A. Baker, Robert S. Lovett, and Gordon M. Buck for plaintiffs in error.
[Argument of Counsel from pages 322-325 intentionally omitted]
Messrs. T. W. Gregory and McLean & Spears for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice Brown delivered the opinion of the court:

Gushing from the mouths of stone men To spread at ease under the sky In granite-lipped basins, Where iris dabble their feet And rustle to a passing wind, The water fills the garden with its rushing, In the midst of the quiet of close-clipped lawns.
Damp smell the ferns in tunnels of stone, Where trickle and plash the fountains, Marble fountains, yellowed with much water.
Splashing down moss-tarnished steps It falls, the water; And the air is throbbing with it; With its gurgling and running; With its leaping, and deep, cool murmur.
And I wished for night and you. I wanted to see you in the swimming-pool, White and shining in the silver-flecked water. While the moon rode over the garden, High in the arch of night, And the scent of the lilacs was heavy with stillness.
Night and the water, and you in your whiteness, bathing!

The years have gathered grayly  Since I danced upon this leaze With one who kindled gaily  Love's fitful ecstasies! But despite the term as teacher,  I remain what I was then In each essential feature  Of the fantasies of men.
Yet I note the little chisel  Of never-napping Time, Defacing ghast and grizzel  The blazon of my prime. When at night he thinks me sleeping,  I feel him boring sly Within my bones, and heaping  Quaintest pains for by-and-by.
Still, I'd go the world with Beauty,  I would laugh with her and sing, I would shun divinest duty  To resume her worshipping. But she'd scorn my brave endeavour,  She would not balm the breeze By murmuring "Thine for ever!"  As she did upon this leaze.

# Ironwood Daily Globe/1937/4 Disillusioned Yank Airmen Desert Spain

Eddie August Schneider (1911-1940), Bert Acosta, Frederick Lord, and Gordon Berry as subjects of an article written by the Associated Press and published in the Ironwood Daily Globe of Ironwood, Michigan on January 6, 1937.
4 Disillusioned Yank Airmen Desert Spain. Paris, France; January 6, 1937 (Associated Press) Four disillusioned American aviators announced today they were through with Spain and furthermore, they were through with civil wars. The four - Bert Acosta, Frederick Lord, Gordon Berry and Eddie Schneider - had led the Spanish socialist government's "Yankee squadron" on the Basque front in the far north. But, they said, they were not paid, and money was their only reason for joining up. The flyers protested they were given nothing but unarmed sports planes with which to fight, while Russian pilots were assigned "regular American army planes." The American warplanes were said to be machines built in Russia through contracts giving the Soviet government permission to copy American models. The flyers said both the socialist and fascist air forces in Spain were staffed almost entirely by foreigners.

# How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and other wood-cuts/The Ray; The Raven

I always sing the hymn of hate, When I perceive the Ray (or skate) His ugly mouth I can't abide, His eyes are on the other side, His features are all out of place He hasn't even any face. I do not mind the Raven, though Maligned by Edgar Allan Poe: ​By his fun-er-ial array We recognize him from the Ray, Whose epiderm is white as snow, Not black as night, like Mr Crow. Though black, morose, and quite unshaven I'm sure we all prefer the Raven.

PREFACE
The material in the following pages is a series of suggestive talks rather than a scholarly discourse. I leave to others the discussion of polish, atmosphere, and artistic handling; I take for my theme the writing of a short story that will sell.
There are many writers throughout the country, with good educations, with clear brains, and with the ambition to see their work in print, who are failing merely because they are not familiar with the technique of the short story. It is to these that I would appeal.
In the following pages, therefore, I have aimed above all else to be practical. I have written in the first person, without even the shield of the editorial “we.” I have addressed my ​reader directly, in a desire to impress upon his mind the fundamental requisites of a salable short story. In a word, I have endeavored to point out, more or less systematically, every step by which an idea may be converted into a short story, fit to appear between the covers of a reputable magazine.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
# How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and other wood-cuts/The Rue; The Rooster

When you awake at half-past-two, And hear a "Cock-a-doodle-doo," No argument need then ensue, It is the Rooster, not the Rue, Which never thus disturbs our dreams, With ruthless rude nocturnal screams. We sleep less soundly than we used ter And love the Rue but rue the Rooster.
# How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and other wood-cuts/The Tern; The Turnip

To tell the Turnip from the Tern, A thing which everyone should learn, Observe the Tern up in the air, See how he turns, and now compare Him with this in-ert veg-et-able, Who thus to turn is quite unable, For he is rooted to the spot, ​While as we see, The Tern is not: He is not always doomed to be Thus bound to earth e-tern-ally For "cooked to a tern" may be inferred, To change the Turnip to a bird.
Observe the Turnip in the Pot. The Tern is glad that he is not!
# How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and other wood-cuts/The Roc; The Shamrock

Although I never took much stock, In Sinbad's yarn about the Roc, And really must confess I am Inclined to think the Roc a sham: Take notice that, the Sham-rock may Be seen upon S$^t$ Patrick's day.
# How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and other wood-cuts/The Sloe; The Sloth

See what a fix the Sloth is in, He has been captured by the gin: This gin is not the same gin though, In which we sometimes find the Sloe. This shows how careful one must be, To treat the gin most gingerly.
# How We Advertised America/Dedicatory

DEDICATORY
The Committee on Public Information was wiped out of existence on June 30, 1919, by action of Congress. The work of the Committee had been discontinued months before, and only an orderly liquidation was in progress. It was this liquidation that Congress desired to interrupt and confuse. No one was left with power to rent a building, employ a clerk, transfer a bank balance, or to collect a dollar. This condition of chaos endured for weeks—for it was not until August 21st that the President found power to turn the records of the Committee over to the Council of National Defense—and it is only to-day that a final accounting to the people is able to be made.
At the time of the Committee's annihilation a complete report of its activities was on the presses in the Government Printing Office. This was included in the general slaughter, for not only was it the purpose of Congress to prevent any final audit, but also to keep the Committee from making a statement of achievement for the information of the public.
It was to defeat this purpose that this book has been written. It is not a compilation of incident and opinion, but a record and a chronicle. I have followed through the work of the organization from beginning to end, division by division, both as a matter of duty and as a partial discharge of my debt of gratitude to the men and women who worked with me.
​It is to them and to Woodrow Wilson—great and inspired leader in the fight for the moral verdict of mankind—that this volume is dedicated.
The Author.
New York, May 1, 1920.
A very special word of thanks is due to Mr. Maurice Lyons, secretary of the Committee from first to last, and to Mr. Harvey J. O'Higgins, associate chairman.
