DEAcoNS HAD LAST LAUGH
Coco Story of How Boston Merchant
Furnished New Haven Church
With eaptsrai Service.

In one of the older churches OF New
Haven there is very quaint and beau
tiful baptisInal 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 one OF the
huge and slow-moving freight wagons
of the day and were duly delivered TO
the carpenters.
Nails in those days were scarce anc
expensive. each one being the hand
work OF blacksmith. and, as q cOnSe
Quence of the methods followed il:
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 we're taken
from some Spanish ship by sea
rover" He began to beat in the head
OF another keg and uttered an excla-
nation OF establishment
These bent nails, deaconi" he
gasped, his eyes staring.
They were not. The keg was full TO
the brim OF Spanish silver dollars.
so see, Master Thomas" the
deacon remarked quietly. Suppose
you head up that keg again, and viii
call meeting of the trustees to dis
cuss this matter. We must write to
the merchant of Boston concerning IL. !"
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 dollars? The church was
poor and the deaccns were Connect
cut Yankees to the E3ne. It was most
obvious that the Boston merchant had
obtained the key IN some unusual man
mere and it was logical assumption
that he had paid FOR t ON nail-Value
basis, as he had sod it.
Then uprose one who might have
done mighty things in finance had be
lived century and half later.
Let US write" he said, ito this mef-
chant Of Boston town simply the facta
that there was an error in shipment"
And so they did.
In time came the merchants reply.
He had bought the kegs from q pri-
, vateersman; that they were sold a.
bought and "that no mistakes could be
, rectihed."
And there 10 no doubt that the dea-
cons chuckled somewhat dryly as they
ordered the silver dollars Of Spain
melted down and cast into that service
which can today be pointed out 70 the
youth Of New Haven as an example Of
, of, well. something.
