tell how she herself painted the
furniture.
Happily" she said, my old
table and chairs were Of the SIM

Cheap brushes are hopeless be-
cause the paint pulls the hairs out

coats of paint "if you use the very
best paint" she stipulates. This
makes a comparatively short. job

Something to
Think Ab0ut.
HUMAN NATURE
By r. n. WALKER

THEltE Is one boast that is pretty
4 nearly universal. You probably
never met man or n woman who. IL &C.
casion gave opportunity. wouli not say
with considerable show of pride, We'll,
| 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 orr 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 ut work
In the world Is evil the commanding
I passion seliishness
II isn't true. There is 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 whole Is of a
kind that really makes life worth liv-
Ing
Elihu Burritt. the learned black
saith. 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, hut If you only knew
it he sent basket filed 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 IL Is with the grocer so Ii
Is with the butcher. the baker and the
oandle-Stick maker. with the minister
and the sinner, with everybody
II is splendid thing, helpful
thing, to seek the good side of people
To find ont their better qualities and
encourage them.
There Is some bad in the best OF u.s.
There Is lot OF good In the worst
OF us.
Human nature is very much like a
garden. In IL we plant seeds.
Some sprout and grow into splendid
Towering plants that give everybody
pleasure. Some come up useless weeds.
II we plant kindness and charity and
love. the garden will be worthwhile.
IF We plant envy and greed and
malice and hatred and jealousy. II will
not prove a 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 II and en-
courage II.
III motive IL In question give II
the benefit of the doubt and believe II
was go0i until 1t Is proven to be bad.
II says In the book Of Genesis that
when the Creator considered his work
He pronounced that ut was good"
Unless there is greater power than
the Creator II must have remained
good.
Anyhow. Il Is sort Of satisfying 10
believe that Good Is more powerful
than Evil and unless we have to
change. let us keep on thinking So
