Did you ever see the big quart TN
cups furnished to the army during the
.ivll war;" asked a man In a group
who were talking about coffee. Those
lin cups were the real article, the pest
quality OF heavy tln-almost as thiek
and durable a. sheet iron.
81 still have the one carried all
through the war: also my knife and
fork. tin platter and spoon. Money
couldn't buy them. Whenever ! look
at that tin cup II brings back a sound
which I have never heard anywhere
but in a soldiers camp. In the early
morning. when the men we're getting
breakfast. this curious clatter rang all
through the camp; every soldier was
pounding his ration OF coffee In his
big tin cup with the iron handle Of his
knife. The army couldn't carry coffee
grinders around with them, and pound
ing the coffee was the only way we
had OF making II fine enough to ex-
tract It's essence by boiling. Some OF
us got so expert that you could hardly
have told our pounded coffee from cof-
fee ground In a mill. but It took time
end patience.
MY old tin cup is battered in the
bottom like a beaten brass plaque. I'd
like to show II to you. But with all
that banging and hard usage II never
sprang leak. No. stree. Uncle Sans
tin cups were made for rough service,
and they stayed by US until the war
was over"
