method used on earth roads is to take
dirt from the roadside and pile it into

other location, where a ley mudhole
will be formed. No attention is given
the side drains or the draining Of the
roadbed. Water is permitted to flow
across the road from trash filled side
drains and to destroy the roadbed by
soaking beneath it.

UNDER 4 FLAG or TRUCE.
4 Reunion and q Compact Between the
Blue and the Gray.

A Reunion and . Compact the
Blue and the Gray.
My father was a private In the
Twenty-sixth Michigan and often told
the following story, although | was
never wise enough to make a note Of
the date or the name Of the engage
ment. There can be no doubt. how.
ever, of the substantial accuracy Of
the tale.
There had been lighting. but a dag
Of truce had passed from the Con-
federate to the Union lines. and firing
was suspended. The lines were close
together and both behind As
the white flag passed out Of sight TO-
ward headquarters the lines simply
flowed together. meeting In the vacant
space between. Officers on both sides
tried to prevent it. but their efforts
were fruitless. Little groups formed
here and here and began to barter.
The grays had tobacco. and the blues
had coffee and a little sugar, and
trade was lively for a time. Then
they fell to discussing other things,
and to understand their CONVERSATION
it ought to be explained that the prac-
tice Of firing ON a picket line was re-
garded by these soldiers. hardened
though they were by the awful sights
of a dozen bloody fields. as little bet
ter than murder. Said a gray:
why do you fellows fire on pickett
Blue-Why do you fire on picket?
Gray Well. we don't. only when
that old Colonel B. from North Caro-
lima is officer of the day: then we
have to. He makes us do it. But
tell you. Yank. we'll shoot high: Yes.
Yank. we'll shoot high!
The flag Of truce came back: the
negotiations had failed. The lines re-
formed. and firing began again. Once
more poor humanity referred to the
rife and bayonet the questions 1t could
settle in no other way. But who can
doubt that In the hearts Of all who
witnessed the dramatic scene there
was less bitterness than before the
truce? Theirs was NJ vulgar. sordid
quarrel: no bitter. personal vendetta.
Each side was pledged to the support
of antagonlstic principles. to maintain
which they had staked their lives. but
they had no quarrel with their op.
ponents as men.-Youth's Companion.

roads and particularly earth roads.
Good drainage is the first thing to be
considered in building roads. Money
spent in getting rid of the water that
reaches the roadway is well spent.
Remove all water quickly which
reaches the surface of the road and
intercept the flow of water from high
err grounds. If it must come into the
road have side drains of ample size to
handle the water at all times. Turn
the side drains into the first water
channel that can be reached that re-
moves it from the road. The mistake
is often made Of trying to carry the
size drains IL considerable distance to
favor some landowner when it could,
be turned aside at perhaps One-half the
distance. This causes a heavy volume
of water to form, more than the drain
is capable of carrying. The result Is
the road is much damaged by overflow
when it could have been prevented by
giving the water IL quicker outlet.
Most country roads are too fla to
shed water. In fact. many of them
are concave. owing to the fact that
traffic is kept consistently In the cen
ter and wears down the surface until
IL ditch is formed. The water follows
this concave center, washing here ana
forming ponds there, causing the road
to become soft and give way. The
only remedy is to give the road sufi-
Gent crown. enough to cause the water
to quickly drain to the side bitches.
All side bitches should be of ample
size, to provide for the greatest volume
of water that may be expected by rea-
son of heavy rains or melting SHOWS.
A wide, shallow ditch is best. and it
must be kept clean of grass and trash.
If the side drains are constructed right
they can be kept in perfect shape by
use of the road machine.
The side drains and surface drain
age will care for the surface water.
But there is another way in which wa
ter reaches the roadbed. Under1Ow
water. following a layer Of hardpan
or bedrock from some point higher
than the road. on reaching the level
rises u tuc up A1onAu6 luS 'ouO III
most like q%uicksand. These currents
of water flow slowly and will keep the
road in a horrible condition long after
other sections have become dry. The
only way to remove this underfow wa
ter is with drain tile put beneath the
roadbed and leading to a good outlet,
which many times it is difficult to find.
This underflow water is very destruc-
! tive to any kind of improved road. as
it will come to the surface through any
stone or gravel road and so weaken
the crown that it Don gives way.
Many miles of otherwise fine roads
have proved expensive failures because
proper drainage was not made before
rock and gravel were put down. 1t is
a waste Of money and labor to build
improved roads without first thorough
~ draining the right Of way.
