The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-01-24

He is influenced very little by outward
pressure, is not subject to fits and
starts, never acts by impulse, is cool
headed. deliberate and methodicaL He
has his own way Of doing things, and
WOULD have great difficulty in trying
TO adopt the ways and methods of
others. On the stage he could not pos
sibly lose his Identity in the imperson-
alton of another character. The in
dividuaity peculiar to himself will be
stamped on all he does, and as a mat
ter OF fact he has no desire to assume
any other role than his own. He is
not a man to indulge in the privOlities
of life but is sincere, busineSs-like,
and matter-of fact.
He is like the Apostle JameS-believes
that works should accompany faith,
and he would have neither patience
nor use for man who would use the
whip and swear at his horse for being
unable to move its heavy load, unless
he would put his own shoulder to the
wheel at the same time. He believes
in action rather than words, is not
cercmOniOus, but speaks to the point,
would never dream of going to Chicago
(frOm Salt Lake. by way Of San Fran
cisco unless there was a special OBJ
ject in visiting the latter place.
In his business transactions he has
the bulls eye in view as the main

ing about the bush or in spinning
yarns" He is shrewd enough, how
ever, to conceal his thoughts when
policy suggests silence. and in matters
where secrecy is necessary, can wink
the other eye" and, his most intimate
associates cannot guess his plans IN
less he chooses to divulge them.
This disposition to keep his own
council, TO look before he leaps" Will
not be apparent in the ordinary af-
fairs and cOurtesies of everyday life,
but his calling as the head of a police
force in whose hands and care-to a
large extent are intrusted the lives
and property of the people, the re
sponsibility thus imposed naturally
creates suspicion IN their minds, and
they are obliged to be cautious.
Mr.. Paul in his private life, and in
regard to his own affairs will be
straightforward and outspOken.
If this gentleman held a position as
a bank cashier, the directors need have
no fear Of his absconding-for two
reasons: First. because he is naturally
honest. He is not unmindful of the
Immediate cOnveniences that ready
cash viii purchase, he knows that
money talks" and he likes to hear it,
He viii insist on having that which is
legally due; does not take well to the
discount system in receipting bills, but
is equally anxious that the party of
the second part shall not suffer loss
The golden rule TO him is easy to
observe. It comes natural, hence he
lacks the first essential of those will
O-the-wisp cashiers who make hurried
visits to Canada. viz, the temptation.
In the second place he Is a thorough
~ dOmesticated man, takes a quiet
pride in his home is strong in his
attachments to family life. If bust
SkpT1lH a lie "a
home ne will enjoy the opportunity to
study the geography OF the country:
is naturally a good observer but when
his business is performed and his mis-
sion ended. like the horse from the
livery stable. he Will make better time
on his return trip than in going away.
AS a drummer he would be d dire
failure unless the people were sadly in
need of the article he had for sale. He
would not eXtOle the virtues and value
of an article where facts did not war
rant il. Besides, a drummer, to sue
cced, must have more sugar than
lemon juice in his composition-must
be a hale-feliow- well-met Individual 1
must have perfect control of all the
facial muscles, so that he can smile /
or frown at an instant's notice. Chief
Paul is above any such methods. He /
means exactly what he says, no more
no less.
The rather harsh expression on his
is not characteristic of
the man. he is sympathetic will
listen 10 a tale of Woe" and if con
WINGED ii is genuine, will do his share
to relieve il. but his practical mind
would lead him to give employment
instead Of money when possible.
There is q good moral basis to his
character. will be sincere without be-
ing pretentious in religious matters, is
in no danger of ever becoming an en-
thusiast but by nature is orderly re-
spectful and Unassuming.
He is thorough in what he under
takes, dislikes shams in every form,
will not presume on his superior wis |
dom, never domineer or tyrannize over |
his subordinates, but will insist that ]
rules shall be complied with Al /
though friendly and courteous to a
greater extent than many would be /
who had to maintain the dignity of |
such an important office, yet he is not |
lacking in reserve force, and it would |
be unwise for anyone TO trifle with |
him. He has any amount of COM
Dativeness. can be as firm as Gibraltar,
