He Couldn't Drink Wine.

There was noble youth who, on being
urged to take wine at the table of a
famous statesman in Washington, had
the moral courage to refuse. He was a
poor young man, just beginning the
struggle of life. He brought letters to
the great statesman, who kindly invited
him home to dinner.
"Not take glass Of wine? ?" said the
great statesman, in wonderment and sur
prise.
"Not one single glass of wine?'' echoed
the statesman's beautiful and fascinating
wife, as she rose glass in hand, and,
with grace that would have charmed
an anchorite, endeavored to press it
upon him.
"No," replied the heroic youth, reso-
lutely, gently repelling the profered
glass.
What picture Of moral grandeur was
that A poor, friendless youth refusing
wine at the table of wealthy and famous
