THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

with rose leaves after ALL This para
| graph set me to thinking about ruts and
ruts. resulting in the following:
| For many years we have heard the
admonition to get out of the rut.' and
by that is meant the avoidance of rou-
tine ways of doing and living. We con-
tend, however, If the rut be true and
tried and carries one on or toward the
desired goal without undue friction,
that it is folly to be forever trying new
! ground and ways for the sake of nov
city.
! "One who travels in a trustworthy
rut has time to devote to the beauties
along the way, whereas one who travels
life's journey always on new ground
must spend much of his time in finding
safe walking.
"One would rather argue that the
best thing to do is get into good ruts
by living and doing from the first in
the best-known way and so continuing
until the action is passed to the sub
conscious and thereafter performed
without conscious thought and without
hesitation.
While I am about it, let me thank
you for your catalogues and the inter-
est you take in the cat family. They
are pleasant change and relief.
Yours truly, y. S. x"

results next time If I use that also.

we may say that-are interested not
only in debentures but In cats: not
alone in peace conferences, but in colds

sonal problems, such as being in "rut. y
