DUTIES OF MARINE VARIED
His Cosmopolitan Character Indicated
by Uniform Which Combines Fea-
lures of All Other Services.

Do you know the definition of the
word "corps2'' If you do, your advan-
tage over the man in the street is con-
siderable, for the word in itself signi-
fies large fighting force so complete
1y equipped in all branches that it can
act as an independent army. And that
is what our marine corps is-a fully
equipped little army representing in
fantry, cavalry, artillery, signal serv-
ice, engineers, machine gun men, avi-
ators and hospital service.
The varied nature of the marines
duties is reflected in the dress uniform,
his dearly priced ''blues," writes
Charles Phelps Gushing in the New
York Independent. The trousers are
of the infantryman's, but the stripe Is
red, like that on the uniform of the
artillery. His coat is dark nautical
blue, but if he wears chevrons on It
they are yellow, like a cavalryman's.
AS an example of cosmopolitanism, his
cap device bears a relief map of half
of the globe. An eagle with outspread
wings surmounts the globe and a
fouled anchor shows in the back
ground. To ''tell" marine at glance
(whatever his uniform or his rank)
look on the front of the hat or the
cap for that globe. 1t is the distin-
gushing emblem of marine the world
over.
Great Britain is the only other pow
er that has, in our sense of the word,
real marine corps, and the cap de-
vice of The British marine also has a
globe in the center of the design.

CHAPTER VII,
Timanyoni Ditch.

Timanyoni Ditch.
Smith had his vote of thanks from
Colonel Dexter Baldwin in Williams

colonel having driven out to the camp
for the express purpose; and the chief
of construction himself was not pres

ably heavy obligation, Smith-Corry's
mother and me-" was the way the
colonel summed up. eff you hadn't
been on deck and strictly on the job
at that railroad crossing yesterday

Don't mention it, colonel" Smith
broke in. Il did nothing more than
any man would have done for any
woman. You know it, and I know it.
Let's leave it that way and forget it."
The tall Missourian's laugh was en-
tirely approbative.

man-fashioned way of looking at it.
You know how / feel about it-how
any father would feel; and that's
enough"
PLENTY" was the brief rejoinder.
But there's another chapter to it
that neither of us can cross out; you'll

they look like the real thing-sure-
enough prospectors"
"They looked like a bunch of hired
assassins," said Smith, with a grin
"It's some more of the interference
isn't it?'
The colonel's square jaw settled into
the fighting angle.
"How much do you know about this
business mix-up of ours, Smith," he
asked.
"All that Williams could tell me in
a little heart-to-heart talk we had the
other day."
"You agreed with him that there
was tolerably big niger in the wood
pile, didn't you?"

quarry will think I've found a bottle

lose a glove, Miss Baldwin, white
kid with a little hole in one finger?"
Dozens of them," she admitted !;
"and most of them had holes, I'm
afraid. But what has that to do with
your coming in and meeting mamma
and letting her thank you for saving
my life?"
Nothing at all, of course" he
hastened to say; and with that he
bade her good-by rather abruptly, and
turned his back upon the transplanted
Missouri mansion, muttering to him

PREDICTED TIMES OF DEATH
University of Pennsylvania Provost
Forecast Month and Year Of His
Demise Two Years in Advance.

1 heard a regular army officer who
saw much of General Funston in the
Philippines say half a dozen years
ago that the general was a fatalist
to this extent-he expected to die
the death of a civilian and never be
killed in action, says a newspaper
writer.
The most peculiar prediction about
ones own death that l have heard
concerned DIR. William Pepper, pro-
vost of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. Frederick Fraley, who lived
to be nearly a century old and who
as a young man transacted business
with Stephen Girard and Nicholas Bid
die, and entertained Daniel Webster,
related the incident.
A couple of years before Peppers
death Mr.. Fraley asked the famous
doctor to perform some service in
connection with the American Philo-
sophical society.
Cant do it," replied Doctor Pepper,
because I expect to die before then"
He then specified the month and
year in which he expected his life to
end.
But" added the doctor after a
pause, "you will live until Septem-
| ber, 1901
Both men died in the month and
year predicted by Doctor Pepper.

that if this vessel were steaming

power to overcome the resistance of
the wind. This is about 20 per cent
of the power necessary to propel her

II setting forth this review, let US
not as teachers and officers, overlook
the opportunity we have of calling
from our scholars an expression of the
faith that has been born within them.
(See Rom. 1919, 10). Jesus the light
of the world has power to set men free
from sin and "whom the son shall
make free is free indeed" If we
properly set him before our scholars,
they will be made free from the slav-
cry of sin and enter into the freedom
of believers. True faith is built upon
facts; those who accept and believe
these facts will have everlasting life,
