that Justice Lurton is In the prime OF

perience enough TO equip several ordi-
nary men for tudgeships. When he

he was graduated from the la depart

he remained from the summer OF 1863
until the close OF the civil war.
Lurton, who was born in Kentucky,
was seventeen years old when the war
began For two years he had been
studying at g university in Chicago.
He went straight home and Joined the
Confederate army. but was discharged
from service the next year because OF

honor for distinguished service on land,
the cheVrons on the uniforms Of the
marines were turned point up. II was
stipulated that If ever that arm Of the
service discredited itself the chevrons
would be reversed.
The chevrons still point up.
Not only have the marines fought
bravely and effectually in every one of
our wars, but they have done all the
fighting in several incipient wars
abroad. And no foreign nation ever
yet whipped the United States.
Marines First at Pekin.
If by reason OF any curious kink in
the cerebral nerves anybody imagines
that the United States marine is a play
boy let him recall the work of this
arm Of the military service during the
Boxer uprising in China. II was the
United States marines that were first
over the walls at Pekin, in the van Of
the forces Of all the other nations en-
gagged in that fierce assault.
Co tell that about the marines.
Go tell also that for q month before
the final assault the United States ma
rines bore the brunt Of the fighting,
when the combined forces Of several
nations held off the Chinese fanatics
and saved from humiliation the for
eign ministers and residents. Many
foreign officials rendered special thanks
and praise to the United States ma
rines for their services in China
You might also tell it about the ma
rines that on the day Of the famous
battle in Hampton Roads between the
Monitor and the Merrimac the very
first shot fired from the Confederate
ironclad killed nine marines aboard the
! Cumberland and the very last shot fired
from the Monitor at the Merrimae was
from the marines.
I All through the civil war the marines
did splendid service. In the primary
importance of vaster fighting affairs
! their work was slurred over in passing,
but history has embaImed II to posteri-
ty Admiral Farragut used them in
opening up the Mississippi river, the
marines frequently going ashore and
/ fighting along with the soldiers. In
Farraguts successful fight In Mobile
bay the marines did such heroic work
that the admiral made special mention
of them In his report.

MARINES With PauI Jones.
In the Revolutionary war the ma
rines fought side by side with the sail
ors. When John Paul Jones Of the Bon
hOmme Richard took the Scraps forty
nine American marines out of a force
OF lS7 were killed or wounded.
1t was a marine who saved the life of
Stephen Decatur when that gallant Of
ficer fought the Tripolitan gunboats. A
huge Tripolitan sailor raised his cut
lass TO crash IL through the skull OF the
American commander when the ships
grappled and the fighting was hand 10
hand. A marine interpOsed his arm
It was cut off by the heavy weapon in
its swift descent, but Decatur escaped
unhurt
In the war OF 1912 the marines dis
tinguished themselves in the battles on
the great lakes and on land. In Cuba,
Porto Rico, Guam, Hawaii, the Philip
pines, Panama and Samoa the marines
have been first on land lerever there
was fighting or police work to do.
The marine is a sort Of policeman as
well as a soldier. The corps was Gre
ated originally with d view principally
10 policing war vessels That was in
the days when in order 10 obtain a
quota Of sailors it was necessary now
and then to I'LL man with bad liquor
and drag him aboard, then impress him
/ into the service. Happily that day has
passed. so that il Is not necessary now
to keep police force aboard vessels OF
war merely to quell protesting sailors.
A sample OF the police work done by
the marines was their quelling Of the
mutiny in the Massachusetts, state
prison in 1924. Hundreds Of prisoners
| rebelled and were about 10 break cut
and turn themselves loose TO prey upor
the public when a detachment of thirty
marines under Major Wainwright

Hazel Twios Find Water,

Hazel twigs long have been used as
instruments with which to discover
water underground The twig has at
various times been credited with many
marvellous powers. Not only could 1t
discover water. but concealed lodes Of
metal. especially silver, were betrayed
by the hazel. which. according to ira
dition. was guided by the pixies who

in brief time. Some school text books
still tell the story Of that affair
First to Land In Cuba.
But it is as a fighter against men
equally well armed that the marine
prefers to distinguish himself. Since
the war with Spain, when the marines
were first to make a landing upon Gu
ban soil when they covered the landing
Of troops at Guantanamo under a
heavy fire from a superior force, public
respect for this branch of the fighting
service. always high, has risen 10 the
hurrah altitude.
Whenever and wherever there is
any trouble or likelihood Of trouble in
which the laws Of nations and the gen.
eral tenets Of civilization seem to re-
quire that Uncle Sam shall take a hand
the United States marines are ordered
To get ready. No; they are always
ready. They are ordered TO go 70 the
breaking out point for active service.
They always go cheerfully. Like land
soldiers. sometimes inactivity pals
upon them, and they long for some
thing really exciting.
The personnel Of the marine corps is
said 10 be somewhat higher in quality
than that Of the army This is said
with no intention to disparage the reg
ular soldier,
The requirements Of the marine serv-
ice are such that recruiting officers are
compelled to insist upon an applicant
for enlistment showing general qualif-
cations a little higher than the aver
age soldier recruit. The marines are a
small but select body Of men. The
percentage Of riffraff material accepted
is very low. AS a consequence deser-
tons are less frequent in proportion to
numbers than is the case in the army.
This fact may be due in part, how
ever to the difference in the kind OF
service eYDerifnCed The marines get
