Physical features - Beard, Eyes, Mouth, and Nose

3. Bearded
Our speaker’s beard doesn’t imply that he’s a beatnik or a disciple from the House of David; neither does it mean he’s advertising a centennial celebration. It’s just an indication that he’s all he-man. History’s heavy-haired heroes started with Samson, and through the ages the beard has been looked upon as evidence of a man’s virility. Bearded bards as kind as Kipling have appeared-and as tender as Tennyson, witty as Mark Twain, and lovable as Lowell, Longfellow, or Lincoln. Our speaker respects that kind of company.

4. The eyes have it
There are eyes that speak a languid language and others that reflect horror. A speaker’s orbs may be big as saucers; baseball eyes-real two baggers. They can be like the stars, always blinking; or nearsighted as the rattler that fell in love with a rope. Some eyes have that far-seeing look common to sea captains and women heading for a bargain sale.

5. Mouth
It’s been noised around that a speaker’s mouth is his give-away. Broad mouth broad talk. Look at William Jennings Bryan: he ate bananas sideways. Much mouth-much talk . . . we’re in for big talk then because if he was left in the woods our speaker could trap himself a bear!

6. Nose
In his old home town, it was said that, with a nose like his, our speaker was bound to get into the newspaper business. Our Maker blessed him as He did Bob Hope-picking the first thing that turned up.
