an eager, impetuous nature. Both hold strong opinions and unfold and main tain them with zest and emphonis. Both have a healthily developed instinct for speaking out. Both come at you directly.! plunge into mubjects without any formal preliminaries, and discuss them with downright expansiveness that is much more apt to err on the side of indiscretion than of over-caution. The King has not the "Calonel's engaging minj-sideness; the Colonel has not the King's selfless But both are men of guidek. modesty. emotions and decided views, whose heat is towards action, and who get from every bour its full sixty minutes of life.
