It was expected that a meeting of the trustees of the Girls Industrial School at Montevallo would be held here today, but a quorum failed to appear. The Governor had mailed a notice of the meeting to Secretary Fitzsimmons of Birmingham. That official Is out of the State, and con sequently the members of the board were not notified of the proposed meeting. There were several matters of import ance scheduled to come before the board, among them being the consideration of a large furniture purchase recently made by a portion of the finance committee. This purchase seems to have been made

Bessemer, August 6-(speciaI.)-A. J. Sumner and George Bul;ard, charged by the coroners jury with the murder of H. c. Newell of Milldale were cleared of the serious charge at their preliminary trial which closed at two o'clock today.
 The trial began yesterday morning be- fore Justice of the Peace William Jack son, and at the conclusion of the testi- mony the latter stated that the evidence so grave a charge.
 The men, however, were bound over to the grand jury on a $500 bond on charge of larceny of the person.
 H. c. Newell was found dead on the tracks of the Louisville and Nashville Mineral road, near Ruders one morning several weeks ago. On the day previous he had been in Bessemer in company with Bulard, Sumner and several other con- panions, all of whom were drinking, It was alleged that the men had stolen sum of meney from Newell and suspicion seemed to point to them as the probable murderers of the man. the theory being that they had murdered him here and then placed the body on the train so that 1t would fall on the tracks, seeming to show that he had been run over by train. They now stand clear of this charge oie

BUTLER COUNTY CASES

Age-Herald Bureau, Clancey's Hotel, Montgomery, August 6.-(Special. )-"We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as charged
 The above was the verdict returned by the jury this afternoon in the case of the State vs. Sanford Jacobi. The indict- ment charged Jacobi with an assault with intent to ravish.
 The trial was begun in the City Court yesterday morning, and the greater part of two days was required to complete the hearing.
 The defense concluded it's testimony at P o'clock and Terry Richardson made an argument for the State. The defense did not argue the case, and about thirty minutes were consumed by Judge Thom- as in charging the jury. The Jury was out but few minutes, when a verdict as stated was rendered.
 Jacobi is a young man, aged about 22 years. It Is charged that In June, lsoo, he enticed a Miss Parker of Clanton from the passenger station, under the guise of carrying her to the home of her relative. Instead she was carried to house of i'll repute where the assault is said to have been made There was much feeling against Jacobi at the time, and moh which searched for him would doubtless have hung him up had he been found

The Ellis Boys Pardoned.

Governor Jelks has pardoned the Ellis boys, sent up from Butler County for train riding These boys are members of a respectable Montgomery family. but. as is not altogether unusual, they left their home to seek fortunes elsewhere. Firing of their weary life they decided to return to their happy home, and having no cash with which to purchase ticket, it seems they were adopting the usual method to prevent the counting of cross-ties.' They succeeded all right until the town of Greenville was reached, when the ever watchful Story, the bane of the tramp, set upon them and the usual Butler Coun- ty sentence resulted.
 These boys were sent to Pratt Mines July 25, and acting favorably upon re- quest by the local Confederate veterans, Governor Jelks ordered their release.
 Governor. Jelks was questioned as to what action he would take to stop the wholesale arrests in Butler County. He responded:
 T have pardoned the Ellis boys; l shall pardon others. 1 cannot nullify the law-I can only execute it. So far as know or believe, the officers of Butler county have been perfectly regular In these particular eases In their trial and conviction. l am disposed to believe that a very few days in the penitentiary would be sufficient punishment to man or boy committing the offense that these are charged with committing, and l shall look very favorably upon any application for pardon from any of these people when they have served very yew days '
 The Governor said that he would not discuss the merit or demerit of the train riding law, but he did say that punish ment should not be severe for it's viola ton.
 The last Legislature refused to repeal the law authorizing punishment for train riding.

THE CALlPH'S CUP
OF WATER
BN David Kerr

THE sun was setting red and sullen
~ over a battlefield ~ western
Asia, upon which two great armies had
been contending since daybreak.
Barely 10 years had elapsed since the
death of Mohammed, and already the
strong arms and sharp swords of his
soldier disciples had spread the faith of
Islam through sverr land from Syria 10
Morocco, and now the turn of Persia
had come at last.
The native warriors fought as stout
ly as men could do; but they were
matched with men who had never met
their equal in war.
Caliph Omar, wiping his heated
face with the sleeve Of his robe. watched
keenly the giving away, little by little,
of the pointed Persian helmets before
the white Arab turNrns. and hurled up
on the wavering enemy, just at the de-
cisive moment, the thousand picked
men whom he hs-1 .;ss--. held in re-
serve.
Fight bravely, my sons." WAS his
last charge TO them; "for God Himself

There is often something luminous
about child's definition. Every Amer.
lean will agree with the little lad in
board school in England who in On
examination on Scripture subjects gave
an original answer to the question:
what can you tell me about Moses?'
"Please, sir, he was a gentleman" re-
piled the little fellow.
"a gentleman!" repeated the i'm
spector. What do you mean by that?"
"Please, sir, when the daughters of

ter, the shepherds came and drove them
away, and Moses helped the daughters
of Jethro and said to the shepherds:
Ladies first, please, gentlemen.'"-

TWO suNBEAMs.

Straight through a easement. open wide,
A sunbeam found its way,
And down upon the cottage floor
A shaft of brightness lay.
Sent from the gay, glad outer world,
A messenger apart,
1t glorified the humble room,
And cheered the matron's heart,
1t coaaxed the little one from play,
And Knocked, with true delight.
The vain attempts of baby hands
To grasp the lance Of light.
Catch If you can" It seemed to say.
'I'd willing captive be-"
And danced before the wondering eyes
To The tune of baby glee.
Bright shone the little golden head
AS it fitted here and there.
AS though the sun itself had lent
OF it's shining store share.
And mother caught her darling up.
In the midst of his fruitless chase.
And showored kisses, warm and soft,
On the pretty baby face
you cannot catch the sunshine.
Though you follqfed the wide world
through;
You're mothers little sunbeam. dear.
And she has caught YOU too!
Two sunbeams have l in my home;
Dark would 1t be. and drear.
Without the bright ray on the floor.
And the bright face shining here!
God owns the sunlight, but He gave
This precious beam to mother.
Content am l to call enc mine
And entertain the other"
Straight through the easement. open wide.
The sunbeam crept away,
And twilight shadows, stealing through,
Foretold the end of day.
The outer world in darkness lay,
But mothers heart was light.
For a golden head and baby face
Kept home forever bright.

him TO me alive; for men say he is the
hravest warrior in Persia, and would
fain see him with my own eyes"
This sudden charge of fresh and Wig
orous troops upon men exhausted with
a long day of hard fighting was quite
irresistible.
The Persians gave way on all sides;
the sacred standard of the shah was
trampled in the dust and the few who
still strove to hold their ground were
overwhelmed by numbers.
The whole field was in whirl of fight
and pursuit, and only in one spot, where
a solitary clump of palm trees broke the
gray, unending level of the boundless
plain, a clamor of shouts and clashing
weapons showed that resistance had
not yet wholly ceased.
Beneath those trees, with his back
against the largest trunk, stood tall,
noble-looking man, in the prime of life,
with large black eyes, which flashed as
fiercely as the sword that played like
lightning amid the wild faces and toss
ing arms of his swarming enemies.
More than one broken arrow head was
sticking in his breast plate; the silver
buckler on his left arm was hacked and
dented, as if by the blows of sledge
hammer; his armor was dyed red with
more than one wound.
But he still held his ground unflinch-
iEgly, striking right and left with the
strength of a giant, and never once in
vain.
But such fight was too unequal to
last. The brave mans arm began to
wax weary, his strength to fail. Closer
and closer to him cleaned the merciless
spear heads, and in another moment
all would have been over when sudden
