The Middle Ground
BY MARION RuBJNcAM

family lost to all sense of respect.
duty OF decency.
1t was like sermon at an old fash
Toned revival meeting in its general
tine. 1t was so bitter it was ridicu-
| lous.
But Amy Talbot. nunched up on the
couch. could see only the tragedy, not
the humor in the situation Uncon-
sciously, she had chung to Jordan and
his ideas, all along. At the age of As,
when most women have passed the
storms of their lives and have settled
! down to peace and quiet, she had come
TO the climax. Surely, at nearly half a
century, after a life of hard work, she
mad earned rest, not this breaking up
OF everything. The further she felt
her children drift away from her, the
more, subconsciously, she had chung
! to Jordan, and all he stood for. He
had always done here thinking for her,
made her decisions, dictated her ideas
on every subject.
She once thought there were no
ways but Jordan's ways, no standards
but those he approved
Then came the disturbing reunion
with the children. Then came the
gradual drifting of the children, and
finally her desperate attempt to go to
them and bring them back to the old
ways
And she had failed in that,
First of all, there were ways of look
ing at life, quite different from any she
had imagined. And nice people seemed
TO hold these strange views, too, and
to be none the worse for them.
With her children she found herself
cllnging to Jordan's ways, with Jor-
dams denunciation in her hand, with
the bitter words of his letter before
her eyes and the vision of the narrow
little house in the country before her
mind, she felt herself changing.
She had promised that she would
not disapprove of anything the three
children said or did, until she had won
their confidence. That was the first
step-perhaps after that, she could
bring them around to their old point of
view.
So she had thought,
Now, SUDDENLY, she found herself
conforming to their point of view.
After all, hadn't they been fairly driv-
en- to it? To be sure, Jordan had
clothed and fed them, even grudginsly
loaned them money toward their edu-
cation. But what else had he done for
them? What had he ever done for
her? The children might be all wrong
in their ultra-modern ideas-but some
how, she felt they were justified, be-
cause it was the inevitable reaction to
Jordans extreme narrowness.

MARK twain DARED
TO STAND FOR RIGHT,
DECLARES DR., BURTON

Mark Twain, the author and artist;
Mark Twain, the man of courage and
imagination, who dared defy any con-
vention and stand up against the world
for what he thought was right, was the
Mark Twain presented to an audience
of over $50 persons in the First Pres
byterian church by DR.. Richard Burton
Friday evening. Dr. Burton halls from
the University of Minnesota and his
lecture was delivered under the au-
spices of the Literary Department of
the Woman'S club.
Three quarters Of the laughs Mark
Twain drew from the public were not
by his effort" said the speaker. Mark
Twain's mind was essentially serious,
but he had way of saying things that
made people laugh. Yet the fun was
there. because he recognized the in
calculable value of humor as
weapon"
DIR. Burton said that Mark Twain
was not only the greatest American
humorist, but one of the half dozen
greatest of all history, in that he was
able to see the loss sustained by the
human race in failing to enjoy the ten
thousand high grade incongruities" of
life.
Contempt For Convention
"lnnocents Abroad" said DR.. Bur
ton, showed Mark Twain's contempt
for the slavish worship of things that
are past, seen by him in European rev.
erence for ancient customs, styles and
relics, things that had been dug up
out of the past. Mark Twain was a
believer in the present, and a believer
in America. He is always comparing
the past and the present
The tabled chivalry of the Eliza
bethan age was presented by him in
A Connecticut Yankee in Arthur's
Court but at the same time he showed
the discomforts of that age, the draugh-
ty banquet hall, and the snarling of
the dogs as they snapped at bones
thrown under the feet of the guests
at the feast. He was able to give the
finest kind of literary criticism and
sometimes it was social criticism as
we'll" ,
DR. Richard Burton is head of the |
English department of the University
of Minnesota. He was literary editor
of the Hartford Courant from 1890 to
1897 and before that was for a time !
the managing editor of the Church /
man. He has published % books

Looking through an old Bell Directory
is as interesting as rummaging through
grandmotherS trunk in the attic.
1t is good way to check up on the progress of the
community. 1t is surprising find how often the first
of the telephone the of vision who later
developed into leaders in their respective fields.
The first telephone directory was merely a sheet
of paper with the of about dozen subscribers
In most cases no numbers were printed in the directory
and calls were made by You simply said to the
operator "Get me Mrs. Jones'"
Every telephone directory is a new footprint
in the path of progress The extension of the service

muncaton tribute to the performance of the Bell
Telephone System in the past.

And have the benefit of the experience of others

vors, but on account Of the long range
at which the battle was fought, and
nearly all the German lifeboats being
destroyed, could pick up comparative
" few. The German cruiser Nuren-
burg was soon overtaken and sunk
by a British ship; the Dresden man
aged 10 dodge its pursuers and creep,
badly crippled, back into the Pacific,
where it was sunk in a Chilean harbor
by British ship a few days later. The
British loss in the fight was but a
few men, only an occasional German
shell reaching their vessels. The Brit
ish complimented the skill and brav-
cry of the Germans, and admitted that
| If the forces had been nearer equal
they would have had a much harder
fight. With the exception Of the bat
tie Of the Cattegat, this was the great
est naval engagement Of the war. It
ended the German power on the sea,
| except in the Baltic and right around
the German and Allied coasts, where
the Germans could use their subma-
rines Or make an occasional dash with
a squadron or feet, which never dared
to stay long beyond the protection of
| land fortifcations.
