the columns OF his own publication
will not suffice.

gatherings telling us all things were
right. That "Scott was alright, " but

may be considered foolish for not con-

Lewis story is rather long one and 1t
will be impossible for us to do IT JUS
tice In the limits of an ordinary letter.
We have the original letters publish.

in the Office go that anyone can see
them who wants TO examine them.
They have already been examined by
some Of Mr. Lewis's former friends

that Lewis had an arrangement with
the Home correspondence School OF
