Something to
 Tbink Ab0ut
HUMAN NATURE
By z. 4. WALKER

THERE is one boast that is pretty ! nearly universal. You probably never met man or woman who, If oc- casion gave opportunity, would not say with considerable show of pride, Well, 1 know human nature"
 They mean when they say 1t that they think they can solve the Causes Of human action, that they can ac- curately point out the why's and wherefores that influence our relations one with another, our acts and our at titudes,
 Frequently these readers of human nature will ascribe questionable motive for any kind of an act, good, bad or indifferent. They would have you think that the chief force at work In the world is evil, the commanding passion selfishnesS
 It isn't true There is a good deal of good in the world
 The great majority of people are animated and influenced by high motives and splendid desires
 The really bad man or woman is the exception.
 Human nature as a whole Is of a kind that really makes life worth liv- ing.
 El1hu Burr1tt, the learned black smith, wrote down this wisdom: "No human being can come into this world without increasing or diminishing the sum total of human happiness"
 After all, the most of our lives and the most of our endeavors are to help in the general scheme of things.
 The corner grocer may be cross and surly sometimes, but if you only knew 1t he sent basket filled with things good to eat to the woman down the street whose husband is sick in the hospital. Human nature In his case Is dominated by good.
 And as it Is with the grocer so 1t is with the butcher, the baker and the candle-stick maker, with the minister and the sinner, with everybody.
 It Is splendid thing, helpful thing, to seek the good side of people, to find out their better qualities and encourage them.
 There is some bad in the best of us. There Is a lot of good in the worst of us.
 Human nature is very much like garden In 1t we plant seeds.
 Some sprout and grow into splendid Towering plants that give everybody pleasure. Some come up useless weeds.
 If we plant kindness and charity and love, the garden will be worthwhile,
 If We plant envy and greed and malice and hatred and Jealousy, 1t will not prove source of much joy to any body.
 Nobody can plant or tend the garden but you. Nobody can take from you the credit for the flowers and you can- not shift to another the blame for the growths that are worthless.
 Try to know the good side of human nature. Try to cultivate 1t and en- courage 1t.
 IT motive Is In question give 1t the benefit of the doubt and believe 1t was good until 1t Is proven to be bad.
 It says in the book of Genesis that when the Creator considered his work He pronounced that ''it was good"
 Unless there is greater power than the Creator it must have remained good. Anyhow, 1t is sort of satisfying t. believe that Good is more powerful than Evil and unless we have to change, let us keep on thinking 50.

Important Letter.

A letter received from Hugo Weston,
water commissioner of District No a.
requests that we publish the following
letter from the State Engineer. Mr..
Weston states that there a number of
bitches in the Dolores valley that are
not recorded:
October 10, 1921.
To All Water Commissioners and Divi-
sion Engineers:
wish to call your attention to the
law of 1917 providing for the filing of
supplemental statements on all unde-
creed water appropriations. before
January /, 1921, which time for filing
was afterwards extended by the last
Legislature to January lst, 1922.
The provision to which | wish to call
attention especially is that which re-
quires all parties holding claims by deed
of transfer from original or other claim
ants, to send such deeds, after having
been recorded in the office of the proper
county clerk and recorder, to the State
Engineer office to be registered. If
this is not done the rightful owners of
such claims may not get the notice re-
quired by law when an adjudication of
rights is called. So far only one deed
of transfer under this law has been re-
ceived at this office. The fee for this
registration is Sl00.
y \ This is not so important in
the oldest districts where there are few
new appropriations, but is quite i'm
portant in most of the districts of the
state, otherwise we will not be able to
certify to the court of adjudication
the names of the proper owners of the
rights.
Very sincerely yours,
A. J. McCune.
State Engineer.

Citizens of Dolores Will Please
Take Notice.

At the eleventh hour of the mist-hung
morning of the eleventh day of the
eleventh month of 1918, an entire
world threw off the spell of war and
stood upright in new age. 1t was as
II another Easter had come.
Three years have passed since runners
dashed across the battefields of France
and carried to farthest outposts the
order to cease firing; and now. on the
eve of November 11th, 1921, the ma
tlons are going back to the spirit of
November llth, 1918.
To America, as to the whole of the
world, Armitise Day will hereafter he
essentially day of rejoicing, but this
year note of solemnity dominates the
harmony of our joy in peace. Our
duty to our dead, that they may receive
part OF their need of honor, will he

the burial of an unknown American
soldier-representative of all unident;-

whose body is being brought from n
battlefield in France to rest at last in
the central amphitheatre of the Arlinp.

AT the instant the body is being
lowered the nation, by proclamation of

SOLDIERS OF PEACE.

Patriotism, which is after all
'nly short word for love of your
leighbor, has many ways of ex
PRESSING itself. One way. and that
he most dramatic and soul-stir-
ring, is the way of the soldier who
gives up the ease and comfort OF
home for the hardships of the field
and puts his life in pawn for the
safety OF his Countrymen. There
Is the patriotism OF the man in
public lite who puts his talents at
the service OF his country, and the
patriotism of the private citizen,
nan or woman, who, by observance
of the laws, diligence and con-
SclentlouSneSs in work and careful
nurture of children, helps to make
the national life sound and sweet
And there is the patriotism of those
Who labor unselhshly for the edu
alton OF the coming generation,
or the care of the sick or the un.
fortunate, or for the help and en-
:ouragement of the alien who must
ne made into an intelligent and
content citizen of America.
There is another kind of patriot
ism too, not so often recognized as
such. which, we may call the
patriotism of common sense. A
tnong business men it is shown by
those who in the face of general
depression and Encouragement
strive to carry on" just as they
would in normal times, believing
that by so doing they will influence
other men to do the same, and so
build up the structure of mutual
confidence which is the essential of
active business. Their aim is to
make conditions stable once more,
to bring about the revival of busi-
ness, the reopening of closed factor.
les and the employment of thou
sands of workers now idle. Such
men are true patriots. soldiers of
peace fighting for the general good
OF our country, and, through that
of the world.
Those whose business it is to
study the conditions of business
life believe that the worst is already
passed and that gradual improve
ment has begun. The more men
there are who practice the kind of
patriotism of which we have
spoken, the more speedy will be
the return to the orderly and cheer
full activity of our business life

there little later. The purposes

were diametrically opposed, for
while the first assemblage was dis

the best ways of combating it, the

Wife Says Husband
''Fra1med'' Evidence
To Obtain Divorce
Charges Abel Carey Thomas
Offered Chauffeur, Named
in Suit, ST., 900; Declares
Action Is Founded ON Lies
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, June 90
Alleging that his wife, Mrs. Edna Wad-
dell Thomas, had been too friendly
with his chauffeur, Abel Cary Thomas,
an attorney, of Manhattan, and mem
ber of the Yale Club, produced wit
nesses to-day before Supreme Court
Justice j. Addison Young and West
chester jury at White Plains in his
application for an absolute divorce.
Mr.. Thomas is a member of the law
firm Of Thomas & Friedman, of Rector
Street.
The action is being bitterly con-
tested by Mrs. Thomas, a pretty
blonde, who contends through her at
torney, j. Ambrose Goodwin, that the
evidence had been framed up" by her
husband and that the action had been
founded on "tissue of lies and false
hoods"
After Henry R. Barrett, counsel for
Mr.. Thomas, had stated to the jury
that he would produce evidence to
show that Mrs. Thomas had been seen
in a hotel in Brooklyn with Mr.,
Thomac's chauffeur, Elmore Kelsch,
Mr.. Goodwin made the startling state
ment to the jury that he would show
that the chauffeur had been offere }
$1,000 by Mr.. Thomas to frame his
wife so that he could get divorce.
Nh. and Mrs Thomas were married
February 4. 1919, at Chicago. Mrs.
Thomas has two children by a former
marriage, who were present in court
with their mother. The couple lived
for time at Pleasantville, where Mr..
Thomas had a large country estate.
William Joseph Lowe, a teamster, Of
Brooklyn, who said in November last
that he had been bartender for
Philip Nuhstadt, proprietor OF Bed
ford Avenue hotel, admitted he knew
kelsch.
1T was a rainy day in November,
1920" Lowe swore, when | saw man
and woman ascending the stairway in
the hotel while | was coming down to
look after the lunch counter"
He said he recognized the woman as
Mrs. Thomas. He also sWore that he
had seen her sitting in an automobile
in front of the hotel on two other
occasions while Kelsch called.
Philip Brown, who was q doorman
at $50 West Eightieth Street, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas at one time lived,
testified that he had seen Kelsch 20 up
to the apartment of Mrs. Thomas after
her husband had departed

Bedtime Stories
The Bravery Of Mrs. Deer
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Mother love aOiU all things dare,
Nor thought for self 1UiN ever spare.
Old Mother Nature.

For once in his life Old Man Coy
ote was bit careless. Perhaps he
thought Mother Deer was too busy
with her babies to be as watchful as
usual. Perhaps he thought that be-
cause she is naturally SO timid it
didn't make any particular difference.
Anyway, he wasn't as careful as usual
as he stole along to reach the place
from which he intended to rush out
to seize one Of those pretty fawns,
and Mother Deer's watchful eyes
saw him move. That is why she
suddenly "froze" with her eyes fixed
on the place where she had seen that
movement. She suspected an enemy
there.
When Old Man Coyote reached the
place from which he intended to make
his rush and peeped out he saw at
once that Mother Beer was suspicious
and ready. He grinned, for, after all,
it made no difference. She would
dash away the instant he showed him
self Probably the fawns would fol-
low her, but they were too young to
go far or fast One of them was as
good as his right then. At least, that
is what Old Man Coyote thought.
With q yelp Old Man Coyote
sprang out and started straight TO-
ward Mother Deer and the two fright
ened fawns. Then things happened,
but they didn't happen as Old Man
Coyote thought they would. Not at
all In fact, they quite upset his
plans. Mrs. Deer did run, but it
wasn't away in the terror he had count
ed on. Instead she dashed straight
at him. Yes, sir, that is just what
Mrs. Deer did
1t took Old Man Coyote SO by
surprise that he had barely time
to dodge the sharp edged hoofs that
struck at him. With a snarl he
sprang aside. Mrs. Deer whirled and
plunged at him again, snorting with
rage. Her great eyes, usually SO soft
and gentle, fairly bazed with anger.
Old Man Coyote had no time to
even glance at the fawns standing
just at the edge Of the water, gazing
in roundeyed wonder at this new
mother of theirs, this hitherto always
gentle and timid mother. In fact, he
quite forgot the twins He forgot
what he was thens for. 1t required
all his thought an attention TO keep
