stractly admire and esteem. but they
never receive the just rewards OF their
merits because they irritate all with
whom they come in contact.
How often do we hear II said of q
man: "Oh, yes. he is a failure. He
has never been able TO hold a situa-
ton, and yet he is industrious and
honest and clever. but he Just can't
get along with anybody. Always OBJ

tion. and he is always in an eternal
quarrel with all the other men. He's
a man who has been ruined by his
cranky disposition"
And which of us have not friends
whom we really love because we re-
alize the sweet that is under their bit
ter. but whom we do not dare to in
vite to dinner where there are to be
people whom they would really like TO
meet, because of the certainty that
they will ruin the party? They would
be dead sure to differ with each indi-
yidual on his or her particular hobby,
and say the thing that would most
hurt and offend that particular per-
son.
They do not At in anywhere in life.
They bristle like porcupines and are
Just about as unpleasant to have

they have no friends. that they are
not invited around and that no one
pines for their society!
They might well ask themselves WHY
any one should yearn for-their society
any more than they should long for a
bitter pill. or deliberately seek TO put
pebble in their shoe. Heaven knows
we all have enough difagreeabIe
things to endure In life without going
out OF our way to seek the compan-

To be successful and popular one
must cultivate adaptability and MALE

HOROSCOPE.
MONDAY, DECEMBER Is. 1918.

This is a fairly favorable day, &C.
cording to astrology. Although Mars
is adverse early in the morning, Mer-
curry and Neptune are in benefic as
| pect.
The aspect of Mars presages con-
| tinued disturbances, as there will be
much unrest in all parts of the wor.l.
There is sign warning of the
| growth of radicalism in the United
States. Boston Is subject to a sway
| for agitation, speechmaking and ais-
cussions in which all classes of men
and women will take part.
The same sway is supposed to have
influence over colleges and schools.
Students may lead in troubles growing
out of wage questions.
This is not an auspicious planetary
government for the performing of sur
gical operations. q
Dentists also are supposed to be SUBJ
ject to the disturbing influences that
affect surgeons during this configura-
ton.
Mercury promises much in the way
of literature. Newspapers and maga-
zines come into the best possible di-
t rection of the stars.
Music and art will have an extra
OIuhidiy impetus III lllc coming year
and the seers foretell government aid
for projects that will be of great ma
tional moment.
This is a lucky day for all transac-
tions in which oil or products made
from oil are involved.
Neptune gives great promise to
commerce and whatever has to do
with shipping. In this connection the
seers prophesy many novel enter
prisee.
The new year is to be made historic
, on account of great enterprises In the
coordination of world interests and
the introduction of new methods of
business.
Credulity will be tested by the pre-
sentation of facts and theories relat-
ing to the occult world, astrologers
predict 1t has long been foretold that
1919 would mark the dawn of the new
era in which man will begin to pene-
trate the wall between the seen and
the unseen world. :
Persons whose birthdate it is may
be much inclined to pleasure and COM
pany In the coming months. They
should safeguard their money.
Children born on this day are likely
to be clever, accomplished and pru-
dent These subjects of Sagittarius
usually have very happy lives. Girls
have the augury of fortunate mar
riage.

his opinion that scout work would

so hard to get scoutmasters. A few
