drown you in a thrilling narrative of just how it all happened, and
never give you a chance to voice your anger till he has smoothed it all
out of you.

An Exacting Man

But the Osseous is disdainful of such tactics and you had better
beware of using them on him. He is dependable himself and demands it of
others--a little trait all of us have regarding our own particular
virtues.

Likes Responsibility

Responsibility, if it does not entail too many different kinds of
thought and work, is enjoyed by the Osseous.

He can be given a task, a job, a position and he will attend to it.
Entrust him with a commission of any kind, from getting you a certain
kind of thread to discovering the North Pole, and he will come pretty
near carrying it out, if he undertakes it.

Finishes What He Starts

If an Osseous decides to do a piece of work for you you can go ahead and
forget all about it. No need to advise, urge, watch, inspire, coax and
cajole him to keep him at it. He prefers to keep at a thing if he starts
it himself. You may have to hurry him but you will not have to watch him
in order to know he is sticking to his task. This type starts few things
but he brings those few to a pretty successful conclusion.

The Martyr of the Ages

"Died for a cause" has been said of many people, but those people have
in every known instance been possessed of a larger-than-average bony
structure.

The pure Alimentive seldom troubles his head about causes. The
Thoracic is the type that lives chiefly for the pleasure of the moment
and the adventures of life. The Muscular fights hard and works hard for
various movements.

But it is the Osseous who dies for his beliefs.

It is the Osseous or one who is largely of this type who languishes in
prison through long years, refusing to retract.

He is enabled to do this because the ostracism, jibes and criticism with
which other types are finally cowed, have little effect upon him. On the
contrary, opposition of any kind whets his determination and makes him
keep on harder than ever.

Takes the Opposite Side

"If you want him to do a thing, tell him to do the opposite," is a
well-known rule supposed to work with certain kinds of people.

You have wondered why it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't, but it
is no mystery to the student of Human Analysis.

When it worked, the person you tried it on was an Osseous or one largely
osseous in type; and when it didn't he was o
