On the following evening I visited the celebrated
phenologist O. S. Fowler of Boston who had examined
the heads of the Twelve. He gave me
My Phenological Chart.
Wilford Woodruff:
Is a man of great action both
physical and mental; does up things in a hurry;
lets nothing sleep in his hands; great resolution;
steamboat speepd; loves his liberty; is not disposed
to be subject to the will or dictations of others; has
great indipendance; difficulties only stimulate him
to increased action; goes in for the largest liberty
of the mass and is a democrat of the old school;
prefers utility to beauty and substance to show;
highly social and fond of family and friends; has
but few secrets of his own and tells the plain un-
varnished facts; fears but little danger; is not
irressolute but descides and proceeds at once to action;
His first thoughts are always best. He does up his
own religious thinking and does not hang his hopes upon
the faith of others. He believes but little without proof;
is a two edged sword—if he does not cut one way,
does another. He makes positive friends or positive
enemies; has much severity; is sarcastic; bitter
in reproaches; means to do right; feals the
force of moral obligations. His jokes have more
vinegar than molasses in them. He recolects
and explains facts well; reasons by inference from
the facts, by analogy and induction; has good
talking talents; and is noted for his clear illustrations
