WHAT ONE B07 DID.
Hia MaJtfy Rejection of the PiwCeawd
Wise Helped to Reclaim m '
- ' Profligate. .. '"
They were just sitting down to the
table, 12 boys, their faces bright, their
eyes sparkling' with the anticipation of
the dinner that was before them. It
was Clifford Ray's birthday and hia
mother had said he might invite 11
of his friend to a dinner party.
Clifford was an only child and an only
grandchild and, strange as it may seem,
he was blessed with three grandmoth
ers. The way he came to have more
than hia share of grandmothers was
that his mother had married again, so
there was her mother, his father's,
mother and his stepfather's mother;
stranger yet, they lived together, to
all appearances, in peace and. concord,
and vied with each other in petting and.
spoiling Master Clifford.
The boys lost no time in starting on
the good things, and they ate as only
healthy, growing boys can eat. They
did not talk much at first, they were
too busy for that; but they enjoyed
themselves thoroughly, which made
Mrs. Bay and the three kind old grand
mothers who waited on them, bdam
with pleasure.
After they had got fairly started.
Mrs. Hay unlocked the door of a little
cupboard, built in the wall, and said,
smilingly: "Now, boys, I'm going to
give you your choice of some very fine
wine. I, have all kinds here, and you
can take your choice, in honor of Clif
ford's birthday."
"Oh, that's fine, mother!" exclaimed
Clifford. "Come, boys, what kind will
you have?"
No one answered, so Mrs. Bay turned
to the boy at the head of the table,
George Warner, the biggest of the 12,
and the most popular; George usually
took the lead in everything.
As Mrs. Bay turned to him he an
swered, politely, but without the slightr
TIJE LITTLE CUPBOARIX-FANDORA'S
BOX.
est hesitation: - "I won't take . any.
thank you, Mrs. Ray."
The boys looked at him in surprise,
ai.d Clifford's mother soid: "What!
Not any wine? Oh, you are not so par
ticular! Of course it wouldn't do for
byys to make a practice of Jnn.kiog it;
but this is something extra, a.iil a glass
won't hurt you; it will make a man of
you."
George was tempted to reply that he
kuew just what kind of a man it would
make of him, he had seen men likfiti.it;
but be did not like to say anything rude
to Mrs. Bay, so he answered politely but
sis firmlv aa before: "No. thank vou.
I t ea Uy can't take it. Please don't urge
me!"
"Come, now! You. wont refuse a
lady, I'm sure!"
All eyes were turned on George, lie
colored slightly as Mrs. Bay poured out
a glass of the sparkling beverage and
set it before him; but his resolve was
not shaken and he repeated : "I'm sorry
to have to refuse you anything, but
indeed, I can't take it.".
Mrs. Bay was evidently annoyed.
"WelL I won't press you, if it's against
your principles to drink it," she said,
and turned to the next boy with: "Well,
youH take it, Harry Clark?"
George s refusal had given Marry
courage to act. He knew his mother
would not want him to take the wine;
but he would not have been strong ,
enough to refuse if it had not been for '
his friend s example, so he said: 1
don't believe 111 take any, either, Mrs.
Ray."
Frank Miller, who sat next to Harry,
said the same, and so it went all around
the table until it came to Clifford.
"You'd better shut up the cupboard,
mother, I don't believe any of the fel
lows want it."
Then they went on eating their din
ner and were soon as merry as if the
interruption had not occurred. The in
cident -was seemingly forgotten.
But there was one who did not forget
it. In the next room there was a lis
tener of whom none of the boys were
aware. Mrs. Bay's brother had long
been a source of trouble to his family.
It was the old story of bad company and
then all sorts of dissipation. He had
tried one business after another, to
make a failure of all. A. last he had
gone away, and his family hoped that
the separation from his old companions
might reform him;, but he came back
an utter wreck and failure.
Howard Morse had come in while the
boys were at dinner. He was sober
then; but he intended going cut later
in the evening with a number of boon
companions, and "makinga night of it"
as usual. The door between the dining
loom and the library, where he had
thrown himself down on thedivan, was
if OfMmrm t
w Wm0M i
open, and he heard hia sister's offer of.
the wineand George's refusal. "
, . It reminded him of the time when he
took his first glass of wine and then
he thought of the events which fol
lowed. Like all drunkards, at times he
would have given anything he pos
sessed to break the awful bondage, and
he now wished heartily that when he
had been offered his first glass he had,
like George, had the courage to refuse.
Then the thought came to him: ; "Am 1
going to be outdone by a boy 12 years
old ? What he can do, 1 can ; it isn't too
late yet. If God will only forgive me
and help me, I'll never toueh another
drop."
A few minutes later the boys and
Mrs. Bay and the three grandmothers
were greatly surprised to see Howard
Morse walk into the dining-room and
greet them cordially. , Since he had
started on the downward path he had
kept taciturnly to himself when he was
at home, and avoided meeting any of
the people who visited there. This was
a new Howard, surely 1
After dinner, instead of hurrying out
of the house, he joined the boys in the
library. He was so entertaining, in
stituting new games, and telling thrill
ing stories, that no one could believe
the clock right when its hands pointed
to the hour for leaving.
Reluctantly the boys went home,
after bidding "Uncle'Howard" a hearty
good-night. v
As George was going IJovwrd caught
his arm and drew him aside.
"I want to tell you, George, that you
have saved me to-night,"
George's eyes opened wide in aston
ishment. "Saved you? I?"
"Yes; it was your example in refus
ing the wine, that set me to thinking,
and I resolved never to touch another
drop of liquor or have it in the house.
I would like to join your temperanee so
ciety. I want to help save others who
have been as low as I was."
George was very happy that night,
and when he prayed to his Heavenly
Father he did not forget to thank Him
for the privilege which had been given
to him to save a soul by his example.
Howard Morse kept his word. He
not only joined the temperance society,
but later on the church, and was well
known throughout the community as
an earnest worker'.
Some years afterward he started out
as a temperance lecturer and was the
means of leading many from the
"broad way that leadeth to destruc
tion." And in all his lectures he never
failed to give credit to the boy who had
stood firm for his principles, and by bis
example pointed him to the way in
which he was now walking. Anne

THE CIGARETTE MUST GO.
Enormous Inereaw in the Annual
Consumption of These
Coffin Tacks.
An investigation has lately been
made into the question of the num
ber of cigarettes annually smoked in
the United States, and an enthusias
tic statistician has discovered that ten
years after the smoke of the first .cig-
arette was blown from the lips of the
pioneer of American cigarette smokers,
the annual consumption amounted to
1,000,000. This wasaboutthe year 1874.
It reached the billion mark in 1884 ,aiid
five years later it was 2,000.000.000, and
in 1893 it was 3,000,000,000 annually. A
comparison of these figures and pe
riods of progression in the habit will
give some idea of the rapidity with
which it spread. For instance, while
it took a period of five years, from
1884 to 1S89, for the consumption to
increase from one billion to two bil
lions, it required only four years to
add another billion to the statistics.
In 1894 and 1895 the figures made an
other big jump, and in 1898, the latest
year for which statistics are available,
the number of cigarettes of all kinds,
foreign and home-made said to have
been sold in the country, approximated
the enormous amount of 4,000,000,000.
Placed end on end these 4,000,000,000
cigarettes would almost encircle the
earth, and what is of far more impor
tance, if th.e money thus annually ex
pended 'were turned, into charitable'
channels, it would put a pair oi snoes
on every child a the country, and pur
chase the necessaries of life for 100,
000 families!
