overhauled. A new skylight was added

When Miss Sarah Norlin, of Topeka,
Kansas returned from her vaca ton
Charles Eckstrom, a friend, met her
at the station and shook her hand so
vigorously that Sarah fell and broke
her leg. Eckstrom paid her DOCTORS
bill, and thought the matter was settled
finally until he got notice that Miss
Norlin had entered suit for $4,000 dam
ages. When the case was called Eek
strom testified that his violent hand
shake was merely an exuberant ex-
precision of his joy at seeing Miss Nor

harm. The jury thought that Eckstrom
had done about the right thing when
he paid the girls doctors bill, and rem
dered Judgment in his favor.
