The Veteran

1t was just Mt this time year ago
when the resolute old German veteran,
Rudolph Mittler, lie who had been
the stalwGrt color bearer of the - TIL
Illinois Infantry Volunteers in our
Civil War, lay down In his bed, sick
unto death. He WAS unable to speak
intelligibly, and could move his hands
and feet only with great difficulty.
After the first day of dull and pa
tient endurance of hitherto unknown
weakness and helplessness the veteran
showed signs Of awakening interest
and seemed anxious to speak. His
poor wife tried in vain to understand
him. He pointed at the wall at the
foot of his bed, which stool in little
recess OF small room in n tiny, clean
ly cottage, his own hard earned home.
No one could make out what the
veteran wanted, but his earnest look
of entreaty haunted everyone who saw
1t. At last the eldest son came to
visit his father, the son who is mar
ried and living in home of his own.
He sat long by the veterans bedside,
holding his helpless hands, and at
last, somehow, the father made the
son understand. His wish was TO have
the flag he had carried through many
n storm OF battle hanging where his
eyes could rest upon it.
Without delay flag was brought.
It's generous folds were draped upon
the wall at the foot of the veterans
bed. His eyes rested upon its brilliant
colOrs with Joy and pride. He was
content and happy. A few days
passed, AMI then, surrounded by his
children, his aged wife close by his
side, the veteran fell into n sleep from
which he never awakened. Without
speech almost without power to
move--he ha3 testified in his last
hours to the love he bore his adopted
country.
The flag covered his coffin when it
was borne to the grave.
This is the story of the last days Of
the veteran Rudolph Mittler, rs told
by his sons. Chicago Times Herald.

America,s Common Roads.

The total length of the common
roads in this country, good. bad, and
Indifferent, is estimated by General
Stone of the road bureau Of the De-
partment of Agriculture ut something
over 100000 miles. The majority
of these roads have been opened 10y
common laborcrs, hired by local super
visors, aud no engineering principles
have been observed in their construc-
ton. AS n result, it costs more TO
keep them in repair than if they were
as many finely macadamizcd roads.
Keeping these poor roads in repair
and opening new thoroughfarcs cost

New York, 81, 800, 600, or $50 per mile,
and New Jersey, S77S,dO7S2, or
3l8. 2j per mile. The total cxpendi-
ture for roads in that year amounted
TO about 800, OOO,O 600. As greater
part Of the enormous sum was spent
i'm repairing poorly constructed ronds
that would need exactly tho same Mt.
tontion next year, it. is not exuggcra.
ton TO say that most of the money
was wasted.
Fine roads can be constructed MI

according 60 the nature of the couu.
try through which they pass, the cost
oi crushed stone aud other engineer
ing problems. The cost Oh keeping
these roads in repair is infinitely
smaller than that rcquircd ~ repair
the ordinary dirt roads each winter
and spring when great guIlcys and
ruts aro washed into them by The rains
and floods. Tho secret OF the success
of the fine roads IN France IS attribu-
ted TO the prompt md systematic re-
pairs made ut all seasons o. the year.
