He postponed the presentation and some time later again essayed to give the Senators the fine California wine. But the Senator's star still was obdurate. On the second occasion a bill relating to liquor advertising came up for con- sideration in the Senate and the California statesman feared his gifts might be looked upon in the wrong light

 WASHINGTON,D .C.-Wine, wine, everywhere and not a United States Senator to drink it
 Nearly a hundred casks of Cali fornia's best is waiting here In Wash ington for some devo.ee of the God Bacchus to do it honor. Senator Phelan of California is at present the owner of the wine but he doeS not want it. Any distinguished group of gentlemen. preferably connected in some way with the United States Government. can have the wine for the asking but the Senator can find none who will ask.
 This Is how 1t happened. A couple of weeks before Christmas Senator Phelan conceived the idea of giving to each one of his colleagues in the upper house of Congress a Christmas gift. He could think of nothing bet

The secretA neglected to order the wine shipped by express and it was dispatched by freight. Needless to explain with tho railroads of the country overburdened with traffic the shipment was delayed and only recently arrived at the na- tlonal capital when Christmas was almcs. forgotten.
 Senator Phelan, however. determin- ed to present the wine to his collea- gues and explain the delay. But the Senator did not have Fate on his side Just as he was ready to make his presentation the Distric. of Columbia prohibition bill came up in the Senate.

 Consequently the California Senator is in a predicament from which be at present sees no escape. He does no: want to turn the wine into the gut ters; he does not want to ship 1t back to California; he does not want to arouse suspicious tha: he Is attempt ing to influence legislation by making gifts of spirits. The Senator recog nizes the impossibility of consuming a hundred casks of wine himself. The only alternative seems to be the per manent preservation of the casks of wine as a monument to an unsuccess- ful attempt to provide Christmas cheer.
