Serves His Country Well.

Corporal Charles Sarrugue, veter-
an of the Franco-Prussian war, in
which he won the Legion of Honor, is
again serving his country at the age OF
seventy-six years, this time as a sap
per, and was recently awarded the war
medal. He is rather small, with snow
white heard and has the appearance
OF man of forty. In private life he
is civil engineer, For twelve years
before the war he was mayor of his
native town of Auxerre. In 1870 Cor
poral Sarrugue had been called to the
colors as civil engineer and given
the rank OF captain. He was twice
mentioned in dispatches. After the
war he occupied himself with munic-
ipal affairs in his native town, and
Auxerre owes much to him for his ex-
cellent administration. When the pres
ent war broke out, he offered his
services, passed the examination. and
after three months of training was
sent to the front.
