by an Expert.

]
From the New York World.
/ Here is John @. Carlisle. a candidate
for the presidency. a strong man. if not
a strong candidate. Here is a man for
! Americans. studying him from the out
side, 10 take as model. He is a man OF
strong lines-a thin man. a tan man, a
bony man, with big hands and big feet
and big features. There is no round stom-
ach of the Cleveland Reed-AIcKinley-
| Harrison sort about this candidate. He
has no fat face. or waxy complexion. or
govt. or rheumatism. He is a strong
/ faced American Of the old-fashioned type.
He is made upon the same lines as Abra-
ham Lincoln. He is gaunt. Get a good
photograph of his face and look at il.

/ IS like the head of a mastiff compared
/ TO the heads of a collection of lapdogs

voting for a man who really'is a man. no
matter what may be his minor weak
Carlisle is very tall. He is at least as

He simply looks seasoned, like a piece

| good deal of Carlisle. This Candidate is
really man; He II Interesting,
! He is a dignihed man. Look at his
| mouth. 1t is as strong as a bar Of iron.

IN his makeup there must be weakness,

| Let's begin at the top of his head
| There's a good skull. II is not as round
| as We should like to have it, and no
/ doubt those ears are put on too high, but
| look at the width Of the SKULL the width
/ through the head from ear to ear That's
| the width that marks the lighting man.
And see how bony the head is, and how
| far apart the eyes. Those are good eyes,
| deep and sad, and, like the man who owns
them, they are serious. No pun could
make them light up and pinochle, that
make them shine with joy. Tney are
| eyes that think.
It's a queer nose, very long, hanging
down below the PLACE where il ought 10

But II Is not very bad. Without that nose,
perhaps, Carlisle would lie too good for

either side Of the nose are truly fine. Al

And now about Carlisle as he reaveals
himself in his clothes. You ought TO
know if you do mob know, that what
you wear, once youth and young folly
are past. tells truthfuiiy what, you are.
About Carlisle, everything Is simple, yet
nothing is commonplace or conventional.
He wears no "fifty-fiVe dollar business
SUITS" such as Mr.. Cleveland affects
sometimes, and he wears no stomach
Cleveland wears az Other times. He does
not dress fashionably as Mr.. Whitney
dresses and he does not try to dress
beautifully, as Mr.. Tom Reed tries He
never looks greasy or slouchy, as other
candidates often do. Carisle's clothes
look like Carlisle. He bosses them; they
do not boss hiIna Nobody would ever
know whether he had on an old suit or
brand new one. Probably he never had
an entirely new suit in his life, except
in early life at a wedding or a funeral.
He wears a simple sort of collar that
laps around anyhow, and around 1t he ties
any sort of an old black tie. He gets into
his clothes and out of them without ever
knowing that they exist, or that they
have any particular color. fashion or

Carlisle has long legs. That is very
good. A man with short legs, like a
horse, "cobby built" is not the right type
of man. There are too many short legs
among our presidential candidates. Cleve-
land, Harrison Mckinley and others
have legs too short. Carlisle's are long,
longer even than the Whitney legs, of
which the length is really very admirable.
Carlisle has big feet of course, and big
hands. Small hands and small feet ind-

Carlisle looks like a man, a real man,
