quaint old character died few years ago.
His name was D. w. Stockwe He lived in Au-
rora Illinois. For many years he was famous as
the man that stood still" At the time of the
civil war he conducted a general merchandise
store in Aurora There he sold the hoopskirts
worn at the time. He never succeeded in get
ting out of the hoopskirt period To the end
of his life he continued to offer for sale hoop
skirts and other relics. These things he did not
recognize as relics, however He simply refused
to accept what was Naturally, he saw Ills
business decline. He became an object of ridi-
Guile. Visitors would go to his store to CRAFTY
their curiosity and to laugh. If his arrested de-
velopment had not inhibited enterprise he might
have turned it to profit. And if some adven-
turous spirit had along and succeeded in
controlling him he might have been exploited
He went his way peacefully to the end however,
believing that the world wrong and that he
was right.

A good many of us like "the man that
stood still" in at least one particular Very few
of us keep up to the times in all ways.
If we could study the mind Of the most ad-
vanced philosopher we should find that, in this
way or in that perhaps in many ways, he was
Ireactionary.
Often we hear the advanced people soothing at
others for holding old-fashioned or exploded
views. And yet some Of the views of these SCOT
fcrs may also be exploded and old-fashioned
Then, too, there is something to be said for
those who look with suspicion on what is new.
They create a conservatism that is not by anv
means deporable as we arc usually led to be-
lievc. They like ballast; they keep the tor
Inadocs and the sudden meaningless gusts from
Ioverturning the ship. From experience thcv
know that some Of the ideas called new will be
laughed at tomorrow and that before an idea can
be tested there is required long time for re-
Election.
The people who resist change arc often exas-
operating. But they have their work to perform,
highly important work, too. Their very opposi-
ton besides helping to weed out the weak ideas,
gives the true ideas greater strength For an
idea is not worth much unless it can sturdily make
its way through opposition and display toughness

man that | used to in the streets of New
York, well-known figure, living out his last
years in wealth and honor. surrounded by grand
children and grandchildren. As a Young
man he had become enamored of the neck stock,
the kind that see in old portraits. He
wore it to the day of his death People used to
turn and look after him as straight and tall he
passed down Fifth Avenue, strange figure from
the past. l used to wonder whether in his mind
there lurked other resentments of change.
Did he look with an alien and hostile eve
on the new civilization that had grown up about
him. Were the people that he met as fantastic
and as unreal to him as he was to them?

There is certain pathos, too, in the attitude
of those that object to change. 1t results from
their lack of complete harmony with life

veloping under his study he many a menace
to peace and to welfare. The introduction OF
steam as motive power, instead of filling him
with wonder and delight, made him grieve Now
men that once made lesurely journeys in good
old-fashioned coaches with plenty of time to OBJ
serve the country would be tempted to go tear
ing about the earth like lunstcs And with the
introduction of machinery there was sure to be a
decline in those handicrafts where men could take
pleasure and PRIDE through the expression of in
itiative and personal skill Only few years ago
some of us were tempted to smile at Ruskin for
these very ideas Now we arc wondering if he
was not at least partly right.
