seemed to have the advantage. both In the num-

Quite number Of similar phrases were quoted,
the propriety of which no one could dispute, such
as, "a ten dollar bill" "a four kor.e wagon" "a
ten held,""a three story house." ga ten horse

tion was argued somewhat In this way. What

In length" So then " Il Is pole 10 feet Il must
