PIERPONT MORGAN.
Once you see J. Pierpont Morgan (says a magazine writer) you never forget him. Ile commands yon by sheer force of personality. Yon look at tho bulk and energy of the mam, his shaggy eyebrows, his terribly intense expression, his Herculean head, and you say, "There is power." You know at a glance that not one man in a thousand has a tithe of his physical energy or mental power. |or is equipped, as he is, for a battle with the great forces of the world . you know that he would over-ride you, dominate you, control you simply by his inherent and overmastering combination of mental and physical strength. You know, too, that he exerts his power in the open, that he wins his victori.es by main strength, that he could not be underhanded, that he has neither time nor inclination to be diplomatic. You put him down as a rough man, rough in the leonine sense ; yet this many-sided genius hae great culture, great courjtesy, and kindliness of heart. You note that in and out of business hours he is always in a hurry, always impetuous, eager, not to be delayed.
