Mr.Butler and his junior.

Mr.Butler once asked his junior to prepare a brief of a lady’s case and give him time till the next morning when he was to leave for Washington. The junior sat up half of the night and prepared the brief. Next morning Mr.Butler asked him to show him the brief. The junior replied. “I have the brief prepared, I have the points all in my head, and can state them to you in three minutes.” Let me have the brief again said Mr.Butler sharply. “But” said the junior “I left the brief at home on my table.” Young man said Mr.butler “the next time you have a brief to prepare for me, bring me the brief and leave your head at home on the table.”
