DEAC0NS HAD LAST LAUGH
Good story-.of How Boston Merchant
Furnished New Haven Church
With BaptismaI Service.

In ono of the older churches Of New
Haven there is a very quaint and beau
tlful baptismal service set of silver
and no less quaint is the tale of how
the old church came by the same.
1t was during the year that York
town fell that the trustees of the
church decided that the frame build
ing must have repairs and sent to BoS,
ton for six kegs Of nails. In course Of
time the kegs arrived on n of the
huge and slow-moving freight wagons
Of the day and were duly delivered to
the carpenters.
Nails In those days were scarce and!
expensive, each one being the hand.
work Of q blacksmith, and, as q conse :
quence of the methods followed i'll
their manufacture, the smiths usually
turning out 100 or so on days when
they had nothing else in particular to
engage their attention, they were apt
to be very irregular In size and de-
gree of perfection. The delight of the
chief carpenter was, therefore, great
when. knocking in the head of one
keg, he found the nails of remarkably
uniform size and indicating the best
workmanship and material.
"Ye were in luck, Deacon" he re-
marked to one Of the trustees who had
been present to receipt for the six
kegs, for these be Spanish nails, made
at Toledo. Belize they were tsken
from some Spanish ship by a sea
rover" He began to beat in the head
of another keg and uttered an excla-
nation Of establishment.
"These bent nails, deaconl" he
gasped, his eyes staring.
They were not. The keg was full to
the brim Of Spanish silver dollars.
$50 I see. Master Thomas" the
deacon remarked quietly. Suppose
you head up that keg again, and l will
call q meeting Of the trustees to dis
cuss this matter. We must write to
the merchant of Boston concerning it."
The meeting of the trustees was
duly, held that very day, and long and
earnest were the arguments that took
place. What was the proper course
for them to follow? Should they sim
ply write the Boston merchant that
one of the kegs had been found to be
full Of silver dollars7 The church was
poor and the deacons were Connect
cut Yankees to the bone. 1t was most
obvious that the Boston merchant had
obtained the keg in some unusual man
ner and 1t was a logical assumption
that he had paid for it on a n~ail-value
basis, as he had sold 1t.
Then uprose one who might have
done mighty things In finance had he
lived a century and a half later.
Yet us write" he said, ito this mer-
chant of Boston town simply the facts
that there was an error In shipment"
And so they did.
In time came the merchants reply.
He had bought the kegs from a pri-
vateersman : that they were sold as
bought and "that no mistakes could be
rectlhed."

Their object will be to make concerted fight for lower railroad fares and other advantages to which they believe they are en- titled.
 But the foregoing doesn't contain the most in testing of the item The real kernel of the piece of news is the fact that there 1000 900 travelling saesmen in the United States. It would be pleasant sort of pastime to speculate on how many "stories' those million travelling tell a day. Or one might refer to them "drummers.'

Anybody who knows him at all, knows his likes and dislikes doesnt t call him drummer, '-or Knight of the Grip.
 For the travelling salesman is of the most strenuous types of national business men. The myth that surrounded him with the storytelling, glad-hand habit is the same sort of myth that used to have him located in the bar buying drinks for prospective customers You won't find him in the bar You won't hear him telling stories to any great extent Instead of gadhanding and vocalizing his way through life he is meeting his customers and his competitors dignified ground.
