result which quietly compels medita-
tion, If not acceptance.
Mr.. Bryan's temperament Is of a
vital, bloodmaking type. His pulse is
strong and his feelings are earnest and
ardent. He inolines to achieve results by
what business men call rush and q
hustle. He has more of his mothers
mental tendencies than of his fathers,
and taking the social group into &C.
count which fills up the back head
amply, he ia cordial as friend, and is
emotive, responsive and fraternal. He
would be favorite among the Odd Fell
lows, the Masons, or wherever the bro tn
erhood element is expected to be mani
tested. The smoothness Of his face and
of his features is in keeping with person
al fr1endliness and companionship. He
Is not large in self-esteem. The head
slopes off rapidly and the distance is not
great from the opening of the ear to the
crown of the head. He readily adapts
himself to the average human life. People
do not regard him as lordly and domi-
nant. and they follow him as q leader
through the frisndliness that is awakened
between them; and understanding char
aoter we'll and remembering countenances
and names, he Is able to affiliate with
everybody and maintain the aoquaint-
ances that he forms.
NMr. Bryan's frmness is apparently
large He has feeling that he can do
what he wishes to do, but he does not
manifest lordly dignity or adopt COM
handing methods. When he was young
fellow the Hip hip hurrah' was the
method he could employ to arouse hia
companions and make himself, Cor the
time being, a leader. H is not as much
a leader by calm reflection, meditation,
and dignifed personality as he is by a
combination OF the enthusiastic elements.
His Jealous temperament sets his
thoughts on fire. 1t Will be noticed that
his head rises in the middle at the top,
which gives him veneration and desire
to offer respect to those who are known,
distinguished and popular. He has large
banevolence, shown by an elevated top
head in front; hence he appeals readily
to peoples personal sympathy. If he
were engaged in booming or exploiting
problematio business matters where to
awaken enthusiasm and to do it with a
rush were necessary to achieve success,
he could work in such a fold of effort
and arouse the friendship and sympa-
thetrical cooperation of Fother people,
IN erefore, If he were a temperance leo
turer. q religious enthusiast, or stump
speaker he might arouse the impulses of
ardent persons and take the crowd with
him.
His organ of lang uage is large. He
has good command of words, and work
Ing through the social and benevolent
sympathies he will exert more influence
ON the feelings of people than he will OIL
| their logical and reflective powers. He
has not the self-esteem which gives dig
nifty, and he has not the continuity which
gives close and persistent application to
a given thought or line of effort, which
would enable him to lead calm, Logical
minds rs he could the young, enterpris-
ing, and impulsiye.
"The SUBJECTS knowledge of character
is good, and he would, in public audi
ence, select his special listeners from the
crowd through whom he would act in
carrying the assembly in behalf of his
purposes. He has large comparison
which enables him to use fervid illustra-
lions and extravagant figures of speech.
and less of casualty, which, when largo
gives logical grip to the mind. He
would work successfully through hts
oratory, sympathy, friendship, and ar
dent vitality. He is more of an ilnpas-
stoned orator than he Is of "a cool. c1aar
reasoner. He would arouse the feelings
| of enthusiasm and affection more quickly
than he would convince and master the
understanding. AS lawyer he would
carry the jury through their feelings
rather than through their intelligence.
If he were q preacher the 'amen' oornsr
would respond more readily than the
study the march of business and the solid
equity and prosperity of the community.
