i" OUT OF THE RUT."

There is thought for everybody in the
phrase tout of rut." Too many persons
get into a rut at the very start and never
emerge from it. They have no schemes
for enhancing their market value-no
practical schemes, that is, for mere long,
ing or day dreaming accomplish nothing
and are content to ''stay put" and muddle
along. The man who muddles along
through life never reaches anywhere.
Each of US in life has a place, if we can
only find it. 1t is idle to complain, because
our beginnings might not have been 30
suspicious as those of some others We
know. Doubtless most persons would prefer
to have been born in beautiful mansion,
with wide lawns and playing fountains,
instead of in more humble surroundings.
Yet beautiful mansions have produced
fewer Presidents of the United States than
the humble homes.
1t is all question of working up to the
place that waits for use somewhere and
holding it-of not getting into rut. And
this we ourselves alone can do, and not
anybody else for US. Others, it is true,
can help, but we have to find them and
merit their assistance. The world has it's
own business to perform and has no time
ambition and the energy to take care OF
himself.
Very often it may seem that life is sort
of game of blindman's buff, in which our
eyes are 80 bandaged by circumstances
which seem uncomfortable that to win or
to lose is merely matter of chance. And
SO we stumble along, picking out no clear
course, and presently fall into rut.
The person who is acquainted with his
own mind, who knows what he wants and
the steps by which it can best be secured,
never makes such q mistake. It is true
there may be some break downs in his plans
from which, it would seem, no amount oil
wise precaution could have saved him. In
such cases, however, there is no rejecting
that there is no necessary ignominy in de-
feat-the ignominy comes in in lying down
and quitting.
There is very good reason why the fit
test survive. 1t is because they make
themselves fit, and in doing 80 create in
themselves the sinews Of strength. Allthe
disappointments and conflicts and afflic.
tons of life may, il rightly used, become
means to this end. The difficulty, o1
course, is in using the Affections rightly
for at times it seems not possible to make
them string up our energies to loftier effort
Many of US are too easily discouraged, anc
while sorrow may mellow the temper ano
refine the feeling of some, it has the con.
trary effect on others.
It is obviously the duty of all. however
il we would be just to ourselves, to pur.
sue diligently that course which, afte
careful thought, I'VE decide to be the prope
one. Then we shall find our place, and i
will mot be in "the rut."
