f DON'T BE ANTAGONISTIC !

One of the greatest mistakes t'hat
any human being can make is to adopt
an antagonistic attitude towards life
There are people who prido them
selves on never being "one of the
mob" as they express it- They never
agree with anybody. To avow an en
thusiasm in their presence is to have
them ridicule it. To express an opin
ion is to have them dissent it. To In
troduce any topic into a conversation
' when they are present is as good for
i a healed argument as a nickel is for
a ginger cake.
These misguided Individuals think
that by taking the opposite point of
view they show how extremely cfever,
ij ' and original they are. They like to
f shock people, and they take a fiendish
delight in trampling rough shod over
the pet prejudices and faiths of oth
! ers.
They scoff at religion In the pres
ence of the devout. They revile their
country to the patriotic. Let. a for-
teigner be in the company, and they re
call every unpleasant episode in the
history of his nation. Speak of' some
statesman you revere, and they tear
,' his reputation to tatters. Mention
your favorite author, and they jeer
' at your taste. Tell of some great
! movement in which you are interested
: heart and soul, and they try to con
vince you that the whole' thing is a
combination of graft and politics, and
! that you are a brainless idiot who is
; being scientifically worked for the
benefit of some profiteer.
Such people are about as agreeable
to have about as an ice cold wet blan
ket. They can freeze conversation to
death, and put an extinguisher upon
' all cheerfulness and good humor in
about three minutes. Yet they wonder
that they are not popular, and that no
one pines for their society I
In spite of their flattering opinion
of their own superior mentality, they
have not intelligence enough to know
that nono of us like to have our opin
ions derided, our point of view made
to look ridiculous, and that we do not
; ' adore tho hand that tries to pull down
our heroes and idols from their ped
1 estals and lay them in tho dust. On:
: the contrary, we resent the desecra-
lion of our gods more than we would
a personal Insult.
None of us enjoy having our fur
rubbed the wrong way. Therefore,
' when we seek our friends and' com
panions, and those with whom we want
to do business, we do not choose those
who will muffle our tempers, and say
things that annoy us. We pick out
individuals who have a soothing touch,
and with whom we can count on get
ting' along without argument or fric
tion. People who adopt the antagonistic
1 attitude towards life may be full of
I talent. They may have admirable
1 qualities of character that wo ab
; stractly admire and esteem, but they

never receive the just rewards of their'
.merits because they irritate all withi
I whom they come in contact.
How often do we hear it said of a 1 1
man: "Oh yes, he is a failure. He has I
never been able to hold a situation,
and yet he is industrious, and honest 1 ,
and clever, but he just can't get along '
with nnybody. Always objects to every ,
plan and suggestion that is offered,
and argues every point until you are
ready to die of exasperation, and he is .
always in an eternal quarrel with all .
the other men. He's a man who has,
been ruined by his cranky disposl-,
tlon." j
And which of us have not friends
whom we really love because we real-
ize tho sweet that is under their bit- ;
ter, but whom we do not dare to in- I
vlte to dinner where there are to be j
people whom they would really like i
to meet, because of the certainty that i
they will ruin the party? They would
bo dead sure to differ with each in- ;
dividual on his or her particular hob- ;
by, and say the thing that would most
hurt and offend that particular per- j
son. f
i
Thoy do not fit in anywhere In life. 1
They bristle like porcupines and are
just about as unpleasant to have about'
and yet they complain that they have1
no friends, that they are not invited
around, and that no one p.'nes for their
society!
They might as well ask themselves
why anyone should yearn for their so
ciety any more than thov should long
for a bitter pill, or deliberately seek
to put a pebble in their shoe Heaven
knows we all have enough disagree-'
able things to endure in life without
going out of our way to seek the com '
panionship of those who deliberately
irritate us in order to try to show off
their own wit and brilliancy. ,
To be. successful and popular, one,
must cultivate adaptability and mal
leability. Nor does this Indicate, as(
the antagonistic contend, any duplic-1
ity or weakness of character. It is
merely a broad and liberal recognition
of other people's rights to their own
opinions and point of view, and of
their privilege to hold these opinions
and points of view unvcxed by criti- i
cism from you. i
It is also the kindly attitude towards!
life, because it leaves tho enthusiast I1
with the fire of his enthusiasm still!
unquenched; the hero worshipper i
with his God still unflawed; the op
timist with his hope undimmed. Why'
should we put out the lgiht upon an
altar when we only leave darkness !
behind? And above all, why should !
wo have the colossal egotism to think
that our opinion is wiser than that i

0 F EUROPE WHILE MAKING
PARIS, Dec. 15 Plans for the re
assembling of the inter-allied confer
ence and the meetings of the peace
congress are gradually being matured.
It vras the first intention to havo the
inter-allied conference meet tomorrow
or Tuesday, but owing to the Inability
of Premier Lloyd George and Foreign
Minister Balfour to be here because of
the British elections and the approach
ing holidays, the formal session will
not be resumed until January 1.
Meanwhile President Wilson will
have an opportunity to confer with
the premiers and leading statesmen of
the allies and to visit the battlefields
and, perhaps, Italy. King Victor Em
manuel, the crown prince and Premier
Orlando arrived in Paris Thursday.
They will dine with the president some
Urao this week.
The merits of the questions and con
sideration to come before tho confer
ence thus far have developed only in
this initial phases, discussions of them
having been more or less informal. For
the American delegates, the chief ob
ject to be obtained during the next
fortnight is a first hand understanding
of the views of tho European states
men and an opportunity to convey to
them the American point of view.
PARIS. Dec. 15 The city probably
was more brilliantly illuminated last
night than ever before. Electrical de
vices erected in honor of President
Wilson blazed in all parts of the cap
ital. The words "Vive Wilson" out
lined in electric lights wore displayed
at many vantage points while tho coat
of arms of the United States frequently
was seen outlined in red, white tfnd
blue.
Tho exterior of the chamber of dep
uties was outlined in lights.
The headquarters of the American
peace delegation was lighted with a
huge electric sign bearing the motto
"E Pluribus Unum" the building oc
cupied by tho Red Cross was ablaze
with lights, and a huge electric sign
stretching across the Rue Royalo from
the French naval building to the peace
mission headquarters bore the slogan
"Vive Wilson."
The immense searchlight on the
Eiffel tower heretofore used in search
ing the sky for raiding aircraft, rad
iated over the city carrying a message
of peace.
All public buildings and monuments
were lighted brilliantly.
COPENHAGEN. Dec. 15 At a mass
meeting of citizens today presided over
by tho mayor of Copenhagen, the fol
lowing resolution was adopted:
"President Wilson, a great assembly
of Danish men ana women represent
ing all classes of society, welcome you
to Europe. They thank you for your
work up to this time for a just and
continual peace, they wish you luck in
carrying out your program to secure
peace and wish you luclc in carrying
out your program to secure order, lib
erty and progress In the world.
"As Danish citizens we greatly ad
mire you because the realization of
one of yuor principles tho right of
free determination shall reunite again
all peoples, who are Danish."
PARIS, Dec. 15 Thousands of
names already have been Inscribed on
great visitors' book In the entrance of
the Murat mansion, President Wilson's
temporary residence. Not only have
all tho prominent men of the official
world called and signed the book but
also the leaders of society. Tho name
of scarcely any prince, duke or mar
quis is absent. Side by sido with tho
names of eminent men of science and
arc are tho names of humbler persons.
Among the names are those of Car
dinnal Ainette, the archbishop of Par
Is, and the Japanese ambassador Kei
shiro Matsui.
MADRID, Dec. 15. (Havas) All tho
newspapers here, regardless of opin
ions and sympathies welcome the ar- j
rival In Europe of President Wilson.
"President Wilson Is the most hu
mane man of the century," says tho
Heraldo. "His presence in Europe
means that the hour of justice has
struck."
The Diario Universal declares that
President Wilson is a citizen, of the
world and that to Spaniards he is a
citizen of Spain.
PARIS, Dec. 15 While President
Wilson has not announced positively
that he will visit Pope Benedict, it
now seems probable that he will do
so. It is known hero that the popo
Is anxious to receive the president,
and the Vatican officials have an
nounced that the visit may be made
without danger of cmbarassment of
the differences between the Vatican
and the quirinal.
It is likely that if President Wilson
goes to Rome he will visit the quir
I inal palace as the guest of King Victor
Emmanuel. Afterward he will go to
the American embassy, where he will
bo met by the rector and students of
the American ecclesiastical college.
Tho rector will convey to tho presi
dent, Popo Benedict's desire to see
him.
If President Wilson goes to the Vat
ican he will also call on Cardinal Gas
parri, paper secretary of state, who
will return the call upon the president
at the embassy on behalf of the pope,
who cannot by precedent leave the
Vatican. This was the program fol
lowed when King Edward VII visited
the king and the pope.
If the president goes to Rome, it
probably will be. after Christmas as
King Victor Emmanuel will be in Par
Is till December 23.
PARIS, Dec. 15 Paris newspapers
in discussing this afternoon tho Sunday-activities
of President Wilson note
that ho joined vigorously in the sing
ing at the American Presbyterian
church. The president wore a black j
morning coat, grey trousers and a high
hat.
One reporter was struck by the fact
that he did not take a seat in tho
first row of pews but sat in the eighth
row. Another reporter notes that the
president paid great attention to the
preacher's discourse.
The Temps says that he wore the
same air of serenity as on his arrival
on Saturday, "not severity as we mis
printed yesterday."
PARIS, Dec. 15. (Havas) The Echo
do Paris says that the French dele-
'
gates to the peace conference will bo J
Premier Clemenceau, Marshal Foch,
Foreign Minister Pichon and Leon :J
Bourgeois, former premier. It adds '
that Captain Andre Tardieu, head of
tho general commission for Franco-
American war matters, probably may
be named.- j,
BERLIN, Dec. 15. (By the Associat- ij
ed Press) Dispatches reporting tho .j
arrival of President Wilson in Paris t
are displayed prominently by the Ber-
lin newspapers. The president's ut- i!
terances are being scanned carefully. ,
Newspapers which formerly were fore- ;
most in attacking the president's pol
icies, now plead that they were de
ceived. , ;
i '
PARIS, Dec. 15 Premier Clemen- j;
ceau arrived at the Murat residence at
G o'clock this evening and was re- i
ceived immediately by Prosident WI1- I'
son. The French leader went by au- h 1
tomobile to the president's house, a ;
half hour after Colonel E. M. House
of the American mission had called ii
upon him. J
After conferring with Premier Clem- j
onceau President Wilson had a long !
talk with Herbert C. Hoover, the
American food administrator, who t '
gave him the latest information on
food conditions in Germany.
Tomorrow, some time before the
public reception at the city hall, tho ! ;
president will receive Thomas Nelson !
Page, the American ambassador to 'l'
Italy, who is expected to convey to 1
him some kind of an informal invita- ' 1
tion from the pope to visit the Vatican. -
