Talking about collections put me in mind of a joke that wascomceived and carried out by ringleaders among the clerical the clique. "The. north gallery of the big. Metho- dist church at the corner of Chapel and Division streets was given 'over to the stu-dentS. and the duty of passing the collection plate amongst them was delegated to a funny little old Eng- lishman. whose native land was the Island of Jersey. The boys noticed tint i it took him rather longer to pass the‘ plate than it took the sidesman‘ in the opposite gallery. and finally concocted a scheme for the old gentleman's dis- comfiture.’ Nearly every man in the college took ahead m and provided himself with as many capper one cent pieces as he could conveniently get.

That would mean an average total of probably 225 every Suanday in counterfeit coin. In one year this sum would amount to $511,700.
