.s.AS 1t Rained Copper.


The cadets of Annapolis sat in the
side aisles of the chapel. leaving the
center aisles for the officers and their
families, says DIR. Cyrus Townsend
Brady in Under Tops'ls and Tents"
When the Offering was received. the
two boys charged with the duty of
passing the plates did not make the
slightest effort TO circulate them among
the cadets, for we never had any mon
ey. They would walk rapidly down the
aisle and then come deliberately up the
middle, gathering thence what they
could. One Sunday the chaplain an
nounccd that he would preach mis-
sionary sermon the next Sunday. 1t
did not have the ordinary effect in
emptying the church, for we were
obliged to go as usual.
During the week it occurred to the
bright mind of senior. or first class
man, who is now a prominent New
York financier. that il would be well
for the cadets to make an offering. So
he sent out to the bank on Saturday
morning and succeeded in smuggling in
over 300 copper cents. which he dis
tributed / cent per boy to the Epis-
copal battalion. We stationed a strong,
long armed man on the outside seat OF
the first pew i'm each aisle.
The chaplain made a piteous appeal
for pennies even, and when the aston
ished cadets who passed the plates
started on their perfunctory promenade
the strong. one armed men aforesaid
promptly relieved them of the metal
plates. and each one dropped in one
copper cent with an ominous crash
and then deliberately handed the plate
to the next boy, who did the same
thing. 1t rained copper cents for about
ten minutes. The chaplain was dread
fully disconnected. the officers fidgeted
aud looked aghast. Some of them
laughed, and the cadets preserved
deadly solemnity. The affair was
striking success.
