Three inches above the ear! Round, hard
and visible through the hair-cau'ion! Yes,
we know that Morton's greatest trait Is
caution. Hell never say yes or no until
he has felt the way all over many times.
See, I'll ink that spot. Now, whoever
sees my chronological gallery Will DE able
Ia pick out AT sight the principal traits OF
my subjects.
wHITNEY'S LAW AND ORDER.
Let me put up the next bust. IL Is that
OF Whitney. And ] venture 10 say that
never ir his life has his head been read
correctly. A man with hair like Whitncy's,
with eyeglasses and nervous movement
of the head can't be correctly read except
upon n cast. The curves Of the hair and
his own movements pass for traits.
Whitney is a good man, as you see
His bump Of morality is an even one
IT, means law aud order. IL means re-
Iigion and it means proper state OF
society No head in the world is Il more
thoroughly orderly one, if may use the
word, than Whitney's. His mind is OF the
sort that adjusts itself TO existing condi-
lions without murInur.

his caution and, more than all, his appro-
bativcDcss, make lin. desirable man for
the world to possess
HILL TOO HUMAN.
Il wouldn't say quite much for Hill.
Now, that's funny remark, isn't it? But
IN tell you why. Hilrs bump, you can
see at glance, is human nature. He is
chock full of it, His reason is dominated
by human nature, and this same bump,
standing up above his forehead like a
bulletin board OF sentiment, reaches like
n great prop under the other qualities.
1t dominates them all.
'Now, you are going to ask why human
nature isn't the best thing man can have.
1t is the best thing for the world at large,
Dut IL lsDJ lDe DcSt tHluS 1Or tne man
himself. If a man with too much human
nature has 4 grudge he works it out. II
is human na ture to do so.
IF a man with too much human nature
hears an argument he throws facts aside
and lets a little of God given human nature
take the place of argument. He viii be
steadfast. upright, true, hard working and
real, but he'll make enemies, because he
has human nature where suavity ought
to be.
G0RMAN'S SUAVITY.
Now, that isn't the way with German.
He's got suavity until there stands out
on each side of his head. like small horns,
two bumps that tell the world that he
VIII he soft and agreeable no matter how
mad he may be within.
Il don't want TO give personal opinion,
but l would be willing 10 state, judging
by This chart, that German could. be an
amba ssador extra ordinary without anytrnu-
bic. He would carry his own way beauti-
fully, and, what is more. please others at
the same time. I'd rather work with him
than against him.
His traits around his suavity are good.
He is evenly balanced. There are his rea
son, his law and order-includcd I'm morality
his perception and sociability, all present In
good force. / like GOrman's head, though
Will say that if he got the wrong crotchet
I'm it he could do n lot of harm.
