Henry H Lynch is the only politician
with a head anywhere approaching 1t
in curvature.
In the line of similarity Of political
success and also of contour of Uranium
a glance at these pictures will show
you that Supervisor w. w. Sanderson
and Public Administrator BILLY"
Hynes have much in common, though
to look at the faces of these two gentle
men is to find absolutely no resem-
blance whatever. However, that is not
where the halter looks for his points
Of resemblance.
Supervisors Oscar Hooks and Theo-
dore Lundstedt, judging from the rec
ords of the head-measuring machine,
might exchange hats without finding
unfamiliar pressure anywhere, but
though the Conformation Of these two
heads is almost Identical. with the
greatest swell at the right side of the
head just above the ear and the most
pronounced dip Just over the right
temple, no two men could be more
totally unlike in every other way. How
ever, if the halter is right, that it is
the shape of the head that wins sue
cess, each of these men might have
prophesied victory for the other, based
solely upon the shape of his own head.
But in how far can this similarity of
shape be relied upon when we find al
most as next-door neighbors in the
city's administration two men occupy
ing high places whose heads are utterly
unlike in every particular. Look at
County Clerk Greif's head, and then at
Recorder Godchaux's. The latter is al
most a perfect pear shape, while the
former is a scarcely less perfect egg
shape. Nor do the men look at all alike
in any respect.
More evenly formed than any of these
is the head of Fire Commissioner Par
~, who finds his driving force directly
above the ears, with a plentiful width
of forehead. If Halter Dillon is right
in his theories then Commissioner Par
ry has slept almost equally on both
sides of his head, though whether or
not a politician could improve his
chances by adhesion to one position or
the other in the development OF the
shape of the head would furnish an ex-
cellent field for the test Of the theory.
However. If you are inclined to find
in these shapes subject for amusement
just let the little head measurer take a
record OF your own, which may furnish
much that Is spicy for your friends de-
lectation, If not for your own No one
knows better than your halter what
your head looks like. But, seriously
speaking, these little pin prick maps
are mute evidence of why some men
climb to success while other men sink
to poverty and oblivion. Still that is
hardly germane to the subject, since
there are no politicians among the lat
teH
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-21

7 F you want to know what are the
bumps" that make our politi-
clans successful, don't go to a
phrenologist. Just ask your hat
ter. Ten chances to one the
phrenologist hasn't a record Of the
bumps" The halter has. And
while you are about it, just have your
halter make a copy Of your own
You'd be surprised at the shape Of
your Uranium, which you'll discover
has dips and angles where you least
suspect incidentally the record thus
obtained will furnish you much food
for thought when compared with
those selfsame successful directors of
public affairs.
If you doubt that the halter sees
the politician entirely different from
ANYBODY else, look at the dotted lines
encircling each of the photographs on
this page. Those are our politicians
as their halter sees them. Never
think 1t, would you? And if any Of
them should be inspired with the di-
vine infiatus that is usually the result
of victory, the halter not only knows
it first, but can accurately gauge its
dimensions and probable latitudinal
and longitudinal development. And
all Of this with a little machine that
is as fearful and wonderful to behold
as any instrument of torture in the
dark medieval ages, but which is as
reliable in the story it tells as it is
complicated in construction.
In shape it is like an abbreviated
plug hat, made of umbrella ribs,
with a stove lid on the top and four
curved braces to keep the ribs in place
like the cradle props in drydock. At
first glance it suggests nothing so
much as a new tangled typewriter, but
when the halter calms your fears long
enough to place it upon your head you
are surprised to find that it is no
heavier than an ordinary hat and
much more comfortably fitting. To
be sure, it is not exactly new in
strument, but it is such a wonderful
Improvement over the old head meas
uring machines that its feather weight
is nothing short OF astounding. And
1t is with this that all the records of
your pumps" are made.
Thus, as is so cheerfully illustrated
on this page by Monsieur Tom Dill
lon, the MdIkel-SlICCI AldIbCiJ WACu
the machine has been put on your
head and crushed down until 1t feels
as comfortable as your last years hat.
the little stove lid on the top is opened
up, displaying a yawning curve OF
dangerous looking steel pins like
carnivorous teeth. The oval spring on
the under side of the stove lid is
pressed outward and a sheet of blank
paper inserted into space behind it. The
stove lid is then closed down again
until the little steel pins perforate the
paper, when it is once more opened
up and the paper removed. The real
shape of your head is recorded in this

Cheyenne. Wyo-. Aug 9-Judge l. Z.
Stcne has bound Walter Jones. a soldier

Jones is the tv-hite man who was shot
through the abdomen during race riot

which William CARPENTER. coIored. was
killed. At the preliminary trial witnesses
testified that they heard Carpenter say,
