AN ELEPHANT TRAIT.
The Animal While Busy Will Never
lnjure u Person

lhJuFe FefhOn-
An elephant never injuries a person
when 1t is busy, says an animal train
er with d Dig circus. 1T may sound
strange. but there is not a case Oh rec
ord Of one getting ugly when it was
performing or workings he reason, |
think. is that the elephant is an animal
Of one idea-that is, it can think Of
only one thing a time
When you put an elephant at work
it gives its whole attention to it's task
Great power of concentration? No,
just inability to think Of two things at
once. When it gets busy it takes a lot
to distract its attention, and it never
stops to think about private grlev-
ance. II we start horse or a dog do
Ing trick we can't leave it for min
ute or it will loaf or stop work alto
gether, but it is different with an ele-
phant. Once get it started either alone
or with others, and it will go through
with its turn without another word.
1t is absorbed in its work.
THAT same trait, take it, is what
makes an elephant such vicious ami
NAL when it gets ugly. 1t can think OF
nothing but what has made it angry
and it will not stop until it has torn
something to pieces. Oh, yes, an ele-
plant can carry grudge 1t never for
gets an injury, and it waits its chance
to get even, but when it is busy it for
gets the tricks that have been played
on it. 1t is only when it has nothing
to do that it gets to brooding over its
troubles. Human, ell! Well, | have

FEE FOR CERTIFICATES
SHARP PRACTICE OF NEGRO
 TEACHER BRINGS GRIEF.
A. c. Davis of Ensley, Accused of Trad inS on Ignorance of His Race,
 Denied Right to Teach.

The life certificate of A. C. Davis, a negro teacher of Ensley, which secured
 him a position as teacher in the public
 schools of the State. has been revoked
 by State Superintendent of Education
 Isaac w. Hill. and the negro teacher
 may be prosecuted in the courts
 Davis. who Is a we'll informed. in
 telligent negro, is accused of having
 visited various counties of the State
 and having passed the State examina- tions under the direction of the County
 Boards of Education using the names of other negroes, Having secured cer- tificates of correct examination and passage, Davis is said to have dispos- ed of them to the negroes whose names he used. In this way he is charg ed
 with having gained for ignorant ne- groes authority to teach in the public | schools of the State. where they paid him a fee.
 The Superintendent of Education of
 Walker County has reported to the State Department of Education that Davis appeared before the Board of Ed

 It Is said that when Davis was ac- cused of this offense he admitted it saying that he stood the examination
 for the experience it gave him. Davis Is 40 years old. He has been
 teaching in Jefferson County several years and was esteemed by the county educational authorities as a capable teacher and an honest man.

McHALE IS PARDONED
GOVERNOR IGNORED OBJECTION
 OF THE SOLICITOR.
We'll Known Mobile Man Who Was Convicted of Keeping n Gaming Table Is Restored to Cit-
 ixenship.

Ignornig the objection raised by So- licitor J. H. Webb of Mobile County Governor Cunningham yesterday par doned Peter McHale, a well known white man of the Gulf City. and re- stored his political and civil disabil- ities incurred by reason of a convic- tion for keeping a gaming table.
 About year ago wave of reform swept over Mobile and an organi ta- tion of Gulf City citizens began cru sade on gamblers and gambling. Mo Hale was one of the men whose arrest and conviction followed. He was sen- fenced to six months but after serving about thirty days in prvon he was pardoned by Governor Jelks at the earnest request of a number of citi- zens, several of whom were instrument tai in bringing about his conviction.
 McHale has engaged in legitimate business in Mobile and is said to be leading a circumspect life. About fifty reputable citizens joined in a pe- tition for his pardon and restoration to citizenship. Colonel E. l.. Russell. Phelan B. Dorian, Tax Collector. and others wrote letters in his interest and his petition was signed by D. R. Bur gess. Edward M Robinson und other prominent and influential citizens of the County
 These petitions and letters were re- ferred to the Board of Pardons and. as is customary in such case& a letter was written to Solicitor Webb who secured the conviction of McHale. MT. Webb, in replying, expressed the opin- ion that McHale should not be relieved from the restraint of a parole. He said that after he was paroled by Gov ernor Jelks McHale conducted himself well for time and. MT. Webb said. he gave McHale a letter recommending that he be pardoned.
 Some time after that" MT. Webb continued, when a crowd of gamblers opened pool room here and sought to tie the hands of the authorities by getting out an injunction against the city and County officials who were trying to enforce the law. I went to the pool room to see how 1t was being operated. and Mir. McHale was promi- nent among the patrons of the busi- ness.''
 This conduct of McHale, MT. Webb says surprised him and he straight away wrote to the Governor withdraw Ing his recommendation for a pardon He says he has also been informed that since the pool rooms in Mobile were broken up McHale has been run ming what Is called a handbook on the races which he says is as much against the spirit of the law as pool rooms As a husband and father, Mir. Webb says. McHale is devoted and indulgent and he Is good citizen except for his propensity for gambling. Tn conclu- sion he says he does not insist on de- nal Of a pardon to McHale but the Board of Pardons may judge for itself whether McHale should be relieved from the restraint of the parole.
 In
 Cunningham the Board of Pardons said MT. Webb had not advanced ary good reason for denying the applica- ton of the petitioner and Governor Cunningham issued the pardon, re- storing McHale to citizenship.

 A Plea for Reform Judaism.
 In concluding his sermon Rabbi Mes- sing made a strong plea for Reform Judaism--a better appreciation of its mission before it was too late. He told a story from the Talmud. how the disciples of Rabbi Jochannan came to their master for some word. some sentence, that might gather up and crystalline all the wisdom he had gain ed in his long and meditative life. The sage uttered this sentence: Re pent one day before thy death." The disciples looked at one another in amazement, and one said: Master, who can tell when he Is to die?" An" said the seer, thou knowest not when thou art to die, then repent today. for tomorrow it may be too late"
 Now is the accepted time," said tthe rabbi. Do not delay: do not postpone your good resolution. As Cervantes said. By the street of Bye and Bye we reach house called Never And what can be more pa thetic than the words of the poet Young Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
 The saddest are these: It might have
 been."
