On the first reading of it, as he started to memorize it, he was highly pleased, but after going over the manuscript the second and third time he became much dissatisfied, which led him to go to the writer and tell him that he found his paper worthless on the third reading. When the professional man heard his complaint, he aptly reminded his client that the judges would only hear his paper once. This store would not be good for much if not able to stand many tests every day. Signed Oct, IS, 1920. ffifamfo.
