W
In stature he is well proportioned,
being FIVE feet ten inches in height,
and possesses features that show 8
strong, well-sustained, aud resolute
character, combined with great
amount of kindness, tenderness, and
sympathy.
The prominent lines seen running
from the outer portion of the nose tc
the lips, indicate hospitality. which
probably manifests itself in his home
and attachment to his country. He
has also the full, Southern lips; the
upper one indicates reticence upon
all matters which his judgment deems
best to regard silence, while the
lower indicates resolve, dignity oil
purpose, and strength of character.
His brow is particularly we'll de-
fiued on the outer corner of the eye,
which shows remarkable order,
method, and system. In fact, the
latter characteristic mustrun through
ali he does, and enable him to arrange
his work in gigantic outlines, while
the details, though superinteuded by
himself, must necessarily be carried
out by subordinates.
Another characteristic which is very
noticeable is his large Constructive
ness. 1t may not show itself in the
form of invention, but he has prob
ably used this feature of his mind
along with his large Causality and
Comparison to formulate plans, erect
his ideas, and engineer his scope of
work.
Above Constructiveness we find n
marked degree of Ideality; but we
should not consider that this faculty
acts alone in giving fastidiousness OF
taste, but rather i'll combination with
the perceptires in rendering him q
practical man and capable of using
art in combination with science. 1t
will manifest far more in having an
article represent what it is, than
through artificial means represent
what appears to be good when it is
only ornamentallY trimmed.
Let US turn now to another side of
his character, namely, that which
represents his perseverance, indomi-
table will. and undaunted courage.
Joined to these haracteristics, he
possessed large development of the
lower part of Self Esteem, which
mauifests in the form of indepen-
dence. Without Firmness and Self
Esteem he would not be known as the
man of to-day. They have enabled
him to achieve success, and person 3
have marvelled at the result of his
work. They would, however, not
have been so much surprised at his
achievement had they observed the
man, for they would have seen in the
material there, the above-named
characteristics and the natural ability
which enabled him to succeed where
another man, with equal difficulties,
would have failed. His sleepless
energy, indomitablc will, alert ap-
probation, and use of valuable op-
portunities, combined by a strict OBJ
servance OF immutable laws and con-
scientious scruples, lie at the founda-
ton of his business success, and solve
the problem.
'' 1t was the recognition of similar
conditions, says his able manager,
Augustine Jacqueline Smith, s. and
the obedient observance of these un-
compromising laws which forced A.
I. Stewart to the front, and 1t was
their non-observance which has
caused the vast achievement which
he left to lie PROSTATE under mana
cement which proved unequal to its
preservation, and, although Mr..
Rouss has not yet reached the pin
nacle that Stewart attained, he has
at least passed the middle round, aud
if he be spared the span of years to
which he is perhaps entitled, he will
no doubt yet reach tue summit of his
prophetic ambition"
His Cautiousness is curiously de-
veloped, but an expert notices at
once that the fore part of the organ,
giving foresight and prudence, is
remarkably developed, while the
posterior development of the organ
is weak, hence enabling him TO show
but little fear in engaging a common
sense, practical enterprise. This
reveals another wonderful feature of
his character, while yet another
characteristic manifests itself in the
only average. or full, development
of Acquisitiveness. He evide ntly
has not accumulated great wealth
from the sordid love of money for its
own sake. He has more of the moral
development of Peabody and Samuel
Morley; hence his philanthropy,
beDeyolence, sympathy, and kind
ness must manifest themselves iu
this unique character more than the
mere accumulation of wealth for its
own sake.
Another strong characteristic man
ifests itself IN and through the action
of his large Destructiveness and
Combativeness. These faculties give
warmth and color TO his whole char
acter and stimulate a healthy eDthu-
siasm in his work.
His Continuity, too, is only aver
age in development, which means
that he is exceedingly versatile and
capable of adapting himself to many
positions and kinds of work. 1t
also enables him to he capable OF ap-
pIying his mind TO mnDy departments
and avenues of business he is
never prosy, but has wideawake,
