"Dogie" Is Just Pain
 In Neck To Cowboys
Term, Famed in Songs, Not Justified By Recent Tin
 Pan Alley' limitations Assert Cowmen

that you can carry all the mother
 less calves on the ranch miles and miles in front of your saddle to get them to headquarters and try
 to raise them on the bottle, but that they will 'dogie' on you in spite of the devil, and you had just as we'll knock them in the head where you find them."
 What is meant by the use of "dogie" as a verb is explained in the traditional origin of the word. Old cowmen of Clay and Mon- tague counties, back in the sos, explain the origin this way: A kind-hearted old ranch lady instructed her cowboys to bring in all the motherless calves so she might attempt to raise them by gentle cows or on the bottle.
 "It is common knowledge"
 Hendrix said, "that a stunted an-
 imal, when given an unusual
 amount of food, develops an ab-
 normal paunch, which is some- times referred to as pot or
 dough -belly.'~
 According to >these old-timers, the cowboys, none too pleased with
 the idea of lugging 8 bawling,
 squirming calf eight or ten miles
 in the saddle, began to refer to her collection or orphan calves as
 'dough-guts,' which by common usage eventually became 'dogey,' or 'dogie.'"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-02-23

She glanced up from the greasy pack of cards wherein she read the destines of her clients. Belle Murray was unquestionably im- pressed. Little mysterious waves of trepidation ran along her nerves setting up a beating in her heart. Her tourmaline eyes blinked. She put a nervous hand to her corn silk curles. Madge Swartz, who sat beside Belle in the drab, dimly lit parlor where the SeereSS held her seances gave an involuntary start.
 This dark man shadows your whole life; you stand in some busi- ness relation toward him"
 Madge Swartz uttered an uncon- scious "Uh-huh."
 and if you yield to his ma chinations your whole future will be marred and full of pain. But if you resist him, spurn his advances and his suave ways, all will be well. Fifty cents, dearie."
 Belles fingers trembled as she fished a fifty-cent piece out of her purse and dropped it into Mime. Delphia's palm.
 "But-but-" she palDitated, "do I ge my wish?"
 "Yes, dearie,", answered the for tune teller.
 We'll, that was worth the fifty cents anyway, thought Belle. She moved toward the door with a nod ded Thank you, Madame" Madge Swartz followed her, silent until they reached the street.
 And is she wise, that old damel!' Madge exploded. "A dark man! Huh! And I give you one guess as to who that guy is."
 Belle ignored the speech. Madge was always showing folks up, es- pecially men, and as for Paul Lan- ing, the hints Madge let drop about her boss pictured him as the worst villain within the wide limits of New York.
 Anyway, Madame said l would get my wish"
 "AND YOU SURE
 WILL, KID"-
 And you will, kid. What was it?"
 Belle shook her head.
 "If I tell it won't come true."
 The two girls hurried into the great office building. They had bolted sandwiches and coffee in order to save some of their lunch con hour for the visit to the for tune teller. Belle was still under the spell of Madame Delphia's evil auguries as she sat down before her typewriter. She found a note beside it. MT Laning wants to see you," she read. Belle gave a little gasp of apprehension. She hurried into the head office.
 MT Laning nodded across his let ter-clean desk.
 "Sit down, Miss Murray. You've been with us a month today. And your work has ben quite satisfac- tory, quite. So much so that I've decided to increase your salary five dollars week."
 "Oh, thank you, MT Laning," Belle gulped. Her wish!
 "It means additional work though. Since we are under the N. R. A. I want you to fill in, as my secretary so as to give Miss Spencer her time off,"
 MT Laning went on detailing her

 with you doing Miss Spencer's work, you ought to receive her pay, Belle"
 Belle Murray felt the blood flood her cheeks. That was the only time in all those months he had used her first name. This was the be- beginning of the "machinations' the oracle mentioned. When would he make that "pass" Madge pre- dicted? As the blood faded from her cheeks Belle Murray let her eyes rest on the silver framed pic ture on the desk.
 Miss Spencer had been sent to Florida.
 "They say the boss is paying her bills at swell notel in Miama," Madge informed Belle. What he sees in her defeats me-"
 You're wrong this time. Madge Miss Spencer is at small board ing house in St Petersburg. I send her checks there every week." "Just stingy, eh ?" For the first time Belle felt her. self resenting Madge's aspersions
 ''If you call it stingy, paying full time, these two months" she re- piled hotly, "I don't"
 "Heh, heh, heh!" mocked Madge "So you're falling for him too After all that fortune teller told you. Simp."
 Belle felt her throat suddenly tighten. She had been drifting into closer relations with MT Lan- ing. How could she help it, with all the work now thrown on her shoulders. With the rush of busi- ness developing during the Spring he had shown confidence in her They worked late in the office night after night. As for making any passes, why they were just toe busy.
 | Then one Saturday morning it happened. Unfinished business piled up on MT Laning's, desk.> When Belle came in with a basket of let ters to be signed, he said: 'THIS SPRING WEATHER HAS GOTTEN ME"
 "You sign them, Belle. This Spring weather has gotten me. We'll call 1t a day"
 There's still the Fulton con- tract, sir" Belle interposed as she i rapidly re-read and signed the let ters. "And the agreement with Reading and Company" "Yes, and a hundred more letters that should be written before Mon- day." Paul Laning paused. He strengthened up in his swivel chair He smiled straight into Bellies eyes. Look here, Belle. Put all that stuff in a brief case. I'll motor you down to Wildmore. We'll spend the weekend working where we can smell violets and enjoy the sunshine anyway"
 Belle felt her heart beats sud denly quicken. Paul Laning noted her hesitancy ''It's all right. Old Mrs Dorcas, my housekeeper, will chaperone, and then there's Miss Stafford, the English nurse.'
 Belle debated the situation. Ii she refused she would lose her job

Dallas, Tex.,-(U.P.)-Anderson M. Eaten, Dallas author, recently completed one ~of the hardest jobs ever undertaken by a writer, a complete dictionary of words used by Shakespeare.
 The book will have 1,500 pages, 1,500,000 words and 100000 art icles, dif1nitions and references.
 To complete the .manuscript. now in the hands of Robert F. de Graff, vice-president of the Gar den City Publishing Company, of New York, Eaten first had to do a huge amount of research reading
 The author estimates he read 55,0O0,00O words and referred to and quoted 1000 authors in, pre- pairing the dictionary. He read 166 books averaging 300 pages each in addition to several hun dred books read only in part. In his introduction Eaten says: "Every mans biography can be found in this book; Shakespeare found us all out"
 According to the author, the book contains all the English and foreign words, phrases and con- structions used by Shakespeare, who, with a vocabulary of 15,000 words. was more richly equipped than any other writer.

Fort Worth, Tex (UP)-Neither the origin of the term "dogie" nor the menial social position of the dogie on a ranch, according to Texas cowboys, justifies the place to which the scrawny, motherless calf has been exalted.
 There is nothing romantic about the miserable little creatures, whose chance of living. is very small, cowboys say, and which are thorns in the life of every cowboy, despite the lofty plane to which the dogie has been elevated in the recent capitalization of old cow boy songs and "Tin Pan Alley" imi- tations of them.
 "It would have been 8 wonder full thing if the song writers, radio crooners and paragraphers who have succeeded in bringing about all the furore over the word 'dogie' had taken the time to get the opinion of a few old cowmen in Texas" writes John M. Hendrix, of Sweetwater, Tex, secretary of the Sweetwater board of develop ment. Sweetwater is in the heart of the Texas cattle country. ,
 "They are really worthlesst little critters, travelling in the herd be- hind the drags, and causing no end of troubles" Hendrix said.
 "The old cowman may tell you

 Her knees shaking she walked back to her desk.
 And was that fortune teller a wise old dame?" Such was Madge Swartz's comment when Belle told her of you won't be in his office a week before he makes a pass at you, kid"
 It was with mixed feelings that Belle took her first dictation. Un- questionably Paul Laning was dark. His hair had 8 black luster that eontrasted with his white teeth and his eyes were such a deep brown shade they seemed ebon in certain lights. Belle found her pencil trembling as she wrote. She made stupid mistakes and three separate times she had to ask her chief to repeat a word.

 There was that picture in a si1- yer frame on Paul Laning's desk At first sight of it Belle bit her lips to smother an exclamation Each time she looked at it she was conscious of curious thrill.
