Probably NO two men on the street
differ 80 widely in temperament as do
these two operators. They both have
and that's about all they have in CON-
mon. The unpopularity Of each: how
ever, will be wrought for very different
popular because he is Indifferent as to
the opinions of others, and is somewhat
irritable in disposition, and not always
other hand, while not seeking the favor
tact, is not averse to its bestOwal, and
his temper and manner is as soft and
fine to the social touch as the wool of
the lamb whose symbols he has deeced
by the thousands.
Gould 10 said to have some kindly
traits, bat they are not so plentiful that
he carries them around with him dur
ing business hours. No man in the
world has 90 many and 90 great oppor-
tunities a. he to assist others in money
getting by merely speaking truthful
word now and then. Yet, If he has q
business friend Who has not lost money
on words and opinions uttered BY him,
or through his Office. within the past two
years, IL il because that friend has not
needed his utterances
Keene, on the other hand, while he is
unstable and suspicious, and neither in
viteG nor accepts condolences, is above
Any little petty Misrepresentation for
the p0rpose Of sticking an aoQuaint-
Anco with . few hundred shares Of

give an opinion At all, and il he believed
his opinion Vas to be acted upon, would
express himself sincerely and on his
best judgment. OF course, this does
not apply il either case TO ottsr.oces

tho greater the confidence repoeed by
an associate or friend, the greater the
ofncial loss inflicted. This, as least,
osunoe be said OF Keene. In no respecs
do these great operators differ - widely
- in business scope.
