: THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Psychologists, wiser than men OF
cd, do not say that such a man is
possessed of the devil, but simply
declare that he Is a deviation from
the normal human being, and should
be treated as a medical case. CThis,
by the way, is a kindly mans way
of looking at him.
Why need we go into any consider
alton of the mean man? He does not
have to be "the meanest man in the
world" to merit the unspoken desig-
nation he is given.
He may fondly imagine that he
conceals himself but he conceals moth
ing Most men are far wiser than
most men give them credit for being.
Because one says nothing is no sign
he does not think!
The sullen man may or may not
be kindly one.
This is a peculiar case, varying
with circumstances. Generally the
victim is difficult to talk to; one has
| to work hard to engage him in con-
| versation.
Sometimes he is gay, other times
morose. Physically he seems to SUI
fer with a sort of indigestion, or "dys-
pepsia," it used to be called. The lat
| ter term, however. is under the ban
| now. we believe.
Children often seem to have this
disposition innately, as 1t were, and
are blamed for various faults which
| they do not possess, as result of
their one chronic disease.
This is too bad. Both sullen adults
and children need rational, sympa-
thetic treatment
\ X X X
No. 4, the "kidder," suffers from an
o'erweening sense of humor, that does
not know where to draw the line.
Generally he is suffered in silence
by right-thinking people. for there Is
not much one can do with him, ex-
cept hit him in the head with club,
or avoid him as much as possible, and
one scarcely finds himself able to do
either.
The suspicious fellow Jour No. 81
| is utterly unable to accept any
statement made to him at its face
value.
Always he seeks for a hidden mo-
tive. The curious part is that he In
| variably finds it!
Every PUBIC man is a CROOK, az
cording to the suspicious man, who.
| if he gets cast in life as a detective,
| finds his disposition assisting him ma
terially, since a police official must be
| suspicious.
In ordinary walks of life, however,
| the suspicious man is a hard one to
get along with, since he invariably at

own mind to utterly honest men.

The egotistical man is legion.

worst he merely irritates.

Six fairly well defined types Of men

Six fairly well defined types Of men
may be found in almost any office.
There are others, Of course, but these
will be found to include most of those

2. The Mean Man.
3. The Sullen Man.
4. The Kidder.
5. The Suspicious Fellow.
6. The Egotistical Man.
Almost any officemate may be fit
ted into one or another of the above
classifications. The joke Of it is that
no man will put himself into any
other place than No. l.
The types are we'll diversified, how

There Is a certain genial quality
about the kindly man that is unmis-
taxable. Dogs on the street run to
greet him. He is made the victim of
all the beggars in town. Men who
want matches to light their pipes
never hesitate to ask him.
Perhaps he Is imposed on, eften
enough, but, If so, he gives no particu-
lar sign of being annoyed by the fact.
He may be handsome or ugly, but his
handsCmeness is not held against him,
nor his ugliness, either.
Often men are slow to recognize
his worth. because he makes no pre-
tense, and pretense is what the world
loves most Of all. In time, however,
as his genuine qualities are recog-
nized. generally he wins the place his
merits entitle him to.

The mean man is the antithesis of
the one we have just considered.
He is the victim of various sorts of
completes. so that his ways of looking
at the world in general, and especial
ly at other men, are warped from the
standpoint of truth.
He generally has poor sense of
humor, unlike our No. 4 specimen, but

of the complaint of our No. 3.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-(R-An irreg-
ularly higher movement in stock
prices, establishment of a new high
level in bond quota lions, easier money
rates, a sharp break in wheat, rally
in cotton and the brisk rise in sterling
exchange were the high lights in this
weeks financial and commodity mar
l1ets. Meanwhile, the business situa-
tion continued to show irregularity,
with no definite indications of the gem
eral downward trend predicted in some
quarters.
Trading in the stock market was
largely professional, although signs of
a reawakening of public interest were
evident as the week closed. Varied
opinions exist among various observers
as to the future trend of prices Lower
money rates, the prospect of cut in
taxes, record breaking freight traffic
and special dividend distributions were
encouraging to those working on the
side of higher prices, while the bears
took hope from the decline in bank
clearings, the recent recessions in the
steel, automobile and building indus
tries and the expected decrease in pur-
CliooIH6 pOWST SdS a ISSuAI VI the low
price of cotton and other staple COM
modities
Another upward revision in the gov
ernment cotton crop estimate, bringing
the seasons run close to $4,000, 900
bales, had been anticipated by the trade
so that the market was quick to re-
spond' to reports of damaging frosts
and cold weather later in the week.
The wheat market, however, was un-
prepared for an upward revision of
the Argentine and European crop fig
ures, with the result that prices broke
as much as three cents a bushel on
Friday and closed the week five to
seven cents a bushel lower.
Strength of sterling reflected hopes
of an early settlement of the British
coal strike, which was still uncertain
as the week closed. French francs
were helped by the reported reduction
in the size of the French army and by
the growing belief of an early stabili-
zation of the currency.
