PROFOUND LECTURE

Thought and Viewpoint.

The Mind of Germany carefully
taught obedience in all things to the
kaiser and the military autocracy, a
religion of the people, looking with
contempt on the presidents of democ-
racies, ready to obey any order given,
was pictured strikingly yesterday by
DR.. Frank Bohn, a German, in what
was probably the most profound lee
ture of the c~hautauqua course.
Without oratorical pretensions or
climaxes, without even pausing for
the frequently offered applause, the
speaker put more readily understood
words and more valuable ideas into
an hour and a half than would be pos
sible for one man out of a thousand

MAY FOUND JEWISH REPUBLIC
England, France and United States to
Exercise Joint Protectorate After
War, Is Report.

Palestine is to become Jewish re-
public at the end Of the war, accord
ing to a recent report that appeared
simultaneously In London and Wash
ington. 1t is thought possible that the
disposition Of the Holy Land was one
of the subjects discussed by the Brit
ish and French ENJOYS with President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing at
Washington. That the United States
would favor such q plan is considered
certain.
According to the report the Jewish
republic, known as Judea, would be a
protectorate Of England, France and
the United States acting jointly. Je-
rusalem would be the capital Of the
new republic, which would have local
government. Should this plan be car
ried into operation great migration
Of the Jews back to their ancient land
will likely take place. Not a great
many are expected to leave the United
States, but the several million more
or less prosecuted members of the
race in Roumania, Serbia, Austria
Hungary and Germany, along with
some from Russia, no doubt will take
advantage of the chance to live in a
state where they will have equal op-
portunity as well as the right to wor-
ship in their old temples. Jerusalem,
under such a condition, would become
again a city Of millions and the great
spaces Of now arid lands in Palestine
would be reclaimed.

GROWING in the Mind.

claimed to Charles Lamb: II could
write plays just as well as Shake
speare, If I had a mind tot" Eyes, T"
said Lamb, that is just what you
lack" 1t is a blessing, however, that
even though we may not be able to
do the work of q great genius, we
may count upon growth in strength
and breadth of mind. You can do
with your mind today what you could
not do i've years ago. If you will
give your mind an opportunity to
grow by hard, honest, faithful, severe
work, you will be able to do much
more FIVE years from now than you
are able to do today. If your mind
becomes poisoned with low ideals,
with poor literature, with wrong con-
ceptions Of life, you may as well ex-
pect 1t to grow, as to expect plant
to grow in your garden when you
have allowed every sort Of plant en-
envy to burrow about the roots and
feed on the stalks and leaves.

beginning, and for five years there
were no changes. Then came the kid
mapping and holding for ransom OF
Macintosh the banker in Iowa, and
the unexpected calling out Of the state
militia. The band had hidden Mack
intosh in deserted mine and three OF
the band went down in the shooting
that followed his discovery. In the
looting of Tiffany's vaults, which has
never been published. a Frenchman
named Dupres was killed; and only
recently a tire had burst after the
holding up Of the car of the governor
of Delaware, and their car, overturn-
ing, had crushed Jerrold, the mechanic
of the band and old Hilary's chauffeur.
One way and another, there were only
five left: Talbot and Lethbridge the
Englishmen, Boroday, Huff and old
Hilary himself. And old Hilary's hour
was almost come.
Old Hilary lived well, as he might.
His foreign servants were artists. He
liked good food, good wines, good
books. He even had few pictures
from the leading galleries Of Europe.
He hung them in the house at VOTING
ham, with a cynical smile.
Safest place in the world" he said
to old Henriette, who protested. "The
village has never even heard of them!
And so in this atmosphere with
which he surrounded himself, of fine
living and wrong thinking, of atheism
raised almost to religion, of no law
and no Christ, old Hilary had brought
up his daughter. He had been proud
of her in his way; absolutely selfish,
too. She had had no other compan-
ion. He taught her his unbelief, point
ing out the churchgoers, as they drove
together on Sunday mornings, as
slaves to myth. Also, he taught her
to hate lie, and to give aims. Early
in her life their drives together had
been punctured with questions.
But if my mother is dead, where is
she?'' asked Elinor on one Of them.
Old Hilary had eyed her from under
eyebrows that were already gray.
"She lives in the memories of those
that knew and loved her."
"But l never knew her. Then for me
she doesn't live! But Mademoiselle-'
she checked herself. Suspicion had
been dawning in old Hilary's eyes.
death is the end" he said tersely,
and quoted Darwin and Haeckel to
her. But at the end of the drive he

"Oh, my true knight!' she sighed.
Good night. Good night"
And five minutes later the daintiest
little fairy that ever drew breath was
swapping mas head off because the
bread and cheese and picked onions
were not laid out for supper; whilst
the true knight was whispering sweet
nothings to the golden-haired barmaid
at the Fan and Feathers, and asking
her if she had a fancy to go to the
pictures next Friday.-London Tit

PARAFFIN CAN BE CLEANED
DO Not Throw 1t Away Because 1t
Has Become Dirty, Says Specialist
Of Agricultural Department.

Paraff1n that has become unclean
through usage in canning and preserv-
ing may be cleaned and reused.
Don't throw it away because dirt
and trash have become mixed with it.
Many times it can be cleaned with a
brush in cold water.
If this does not remove all the dirt.
Says a specialist of the United States
department of agriculture, heat the
paraffin to boiling and strain it through
two or three thicknesses of cheese
cloth placed over a funnel, or thin
layer of absorbent cotton over one
thickness of cheesecloth may be used
as the strainer.
! One straining should be sufficient
Ordinarily, but if the paraffin still is
unclean, heat and strain again. Any
paraffin lodging in the strainer may
be recovered by heating the cloth and
pouring the hot liquid into another
strainer.

it took on order, became law.
There were present Talbot and Leth-

clan. He had been trained in the

automobiles to automatic pistols, he
knew them-al makes, all grades. IL
old Hilary was the brains, Huff was
the hands Of the band.
He sat beside Elinor, and watched
her with worshiping eyes. Perhaps it
was as well that old Hilary was intent
on his food and on the business In
hand.
The routine of the annual dinner
seldom varied. Five Of them then,
that last dinner around the table, in
evening clothes, well set up, spare,
three of them young, all temperate,
honorable about women-as polished,
as harmless in appearance, as death
dealing, as the cleaning projectile Of

First old Hilary went over the books.
1t might have been the board meeting
of some respectable bank. He stood
at his end of the table, and the light
from the chandelier fell full on him.
81 have to report, gentlemen" he
would say, "a fairly successful year"
This is where 1t differed from bank.
The association had had no bad years.
"While our expenses have been heavy,
returns have been cOrrespondingly So"
And so on, careful lines of figures, out
lays and returns, to the end. For old
Hilary was secretary and treasurer as
well as president.
This time, when he had reached the
end of what was to be his last report,
he paused and cleared his throat.
UNFORTUNATELY, that is not all, gen.
tlemen. Nothing can we call our
own but DEATH And it is my sad
duty to report, this last year, the loss
of three of our number. A calamitous
year, gentlemen"
He might have been a trustee, Ia
menting the loss Of valued supporters
to a hospital!
Afterward, in the library, with FL
inor embroidering by the fire, they
cashed in. They dealt only in cash.
Securities were dangerous. Once or
twice Boroday had successfully negO-
tiated with a fence in Paris, but al
ways under old Hilary's protest.

CHAPTER II.

Once year the association closed
its books. During all of the June be-
fore old Hilary's sudden death, Elinor
had been busy arranging figures, col
lecting data in the cryptic shorthand
she knew. Then, on the first Of July,
Hilary gave his annual dinner.
The band, from twelve, was down to
FIVE. Boroday, the Russian, glancing
around the table, shrugged his Shout

they played, and percentages would
