ear to the front Of it-means vitality and
heartiness, as If he were willing to put
sufficient strength into his blows to ao-
compllsh the result, as if he were q black
smith. That Roman outline of nose is
expressive OF courage. The long, strong
upper lip means dignity, integrity,
friendliness, and reliability. That strong
and not repulsiye chin shows affection
and love. The sharp elevation on the
upper part Of the forehead just below
where the hair is seen indicates the facul-
ty for judging human nature and for ap-
preciating personal character. Among
strangers he knows whom to trust and
who are true and reliable. Proceeding
further backward on the top head is an
elevation showing beneyolenoe and SYM
pathy. In the elevated centre of the top
arched crown of head appreciates super
iority and induces respect for it, and Is
associated with worship.
If We could have dictated the sitting
for this portrait we would have had the
face thrown forward vertically, aud that
NAL presentation OF the crown of the
head at the region of frmness. self.es-
TEEN, and consoientiousness. These or
gans are located just back of line drawn
from ear to ear over the top of the head,
If the head were vertical; they produce
dignity, integrity, determination, stead
rastness, and sslf-reliance, ana his face
shows courage and power rather than
loneliness and rough domination. His
sense Of reputation is well indicated and
his firmness Is decidedly strong, espsoial-
ly in the direction of persistenoy. The
anterior section of frmness Ia we'll
marked, hence his character is not vaoil-
lating. He knows what he wishes to do
and keeps steadily to his purposes, as the
magnetic needle points constantly north
ward. AS sailor would say, he can sail
against the wind and we'll up into 1t.
His com bativeness and destructiveness
are not weak. The former gives reso-
luteness and the latter ability. His do
nestle affections are as strongly marked
as his character, and from the portraits
of his father and mother judge that he
resembles his mother, in his intellectual,
moral, and social qualities. especially In
the elements of vitality.
''Mr. MoKinley's language is not OK
trayagant nor redundant, but it is
straight, direct, and unswerving That
is one reason why his line of argument is
SO frank, open, and convincing, as IF he
sought to reaoh conclusion on the prin-
ciple of the mathematical line. which Is
the shortest distance between two points.
If his side head were broader at ncquisi-
tiyeness he would be sharper and more
selfish in getting and holding property
eff the people elect Mr.. Mckinley to
the Presidency, he ought, with that head
and face, to bring to the duties of the
position sound common sense and faith
fulness in his friendship and promises;
and he ought, with such face and char
acter, to rise in public approval, conf
denoe and affection. That organization
ought to manifest truthfulness, Justice,
honor, and equity, and is apparently not
destined to be a failure in or out of office
