Odores temperament is such that the

be absolutely worthless, filled with abrupt

should know that the publication
Of the card which he proposed would

possible salvation for any that depend
upon him. With u strong nature, he does
not know how to govern II; with generous
impulses, The underCurrent that rules

cannot love long that which does not re.
nay him with admiration and praise; with
a strong lheattiC nature; he Is constantly
imposed upon with the ilea that a great
stroke, a coup d'etai, Is the way TO success.
Beside this lle has hundred good things
about him; but these named traits make
him absolutely unreliable; therefore there
