WE ARE SEVEN.


IA modern complication.]
met a little girl one day.
She was eight years old, she said;
A hat that was made in q wonderful way
Rose high above her head.
She had a fin de steele air,
And she was richly clad.
Her eyes were black, her face was fair,
Her beauty made me glad.
Sisters and brothers, little maid.
How many may you be2"
Glow manyf Seven in ALL" she said,
And, wondering, looked at me.
"And where are they l pray you, tell"
She answered: "Seven are we,
And two of US with mother dwell,
And two with pa and me.
"And two came into the family
Along with my second mother;
A boy and girl, 80 they, you see,
Are my sister and my brother"
"You say that two with your mother dwell
And two with your pa and you.
So far it's all as clear as a bell,
But what of the other twop"
Then did the little maid reply:
"Seven boys and girls are we;
-Four and two are six. and
Make the seventh. Don't you sect"
you've got it wrong, my little maid,
As sure as you're alive.
Subtract your new ~stepmother's two
And ye are only FIVE"
"My ma and pa live far apart,
Each married to another.
My ma has two to cheer her heart,
My sister and M brother.
"My father took my sister Jane,
My brother John and me.
II you can count, it must be plain
Enough that he has three.
"Three and two are five, you know,
And then those other two
Make seven in all. Now l must 70,
Since I've made it plain to you"
"Those two your stepma brought will not
Have seats with you in heaven"
Twas throwing words away, for she
With plying looks regarded me
And answered, eve are sevenl"

ADJUSTMENTS.

The box office of the Clunie Opera
house opens at o'clock this morning
for reservation of seats for the Ben
Hendricks engagement of three nights,
beginning tomorrow evening. Mr.
Hendricks is the foremost comedian on
the American stage in Swedish dialect
parts. He has always played success
full engagements here. This time he
brings a new play entitled "Yenu-
inc Yentleman." Tt is a spirited COM
edy, full of broad clean humor and
sparkles with wit, given a zest by the
peculiarities and dry sayings Of the
Swedish mining engineer, personated
by Mr.. Hendricks. The Salt Lake ''Tri-
bune," where the company played near
ly all last week, said of the second
night that the house was crowded and
200 people were turned away unable to
get seats, and that standing room was
at a premium before the curtain went
up; and Salt Lake City is considered
a very exacting community in the mat
ter of theatrical entert ailments.

SCHOOL At POINT PLEASANT
THE TROUBLE BETWEEN rRUs-
TEES AND TEACHER.
Said to Have Cu1minated in the
Former Ordering the School
Closed.

For some time there has been friction
in Point Pleasant school district be-
tween the teacher. Frank Benedix, and
two of the Board of Trustees Wood
and Buscher, the third Trustee being
Benedix' father.
Benedlx was engaged by the Board to
teacn the scnool, but afterwards the
Two trustees objected to his teaching
IL, on the ground that he, being mar,
rled man, had concealed the fact and
nad gone with young ladies in the dis
tr1ct who We're ignorant of the fact
Benedlx claims that he had a perfect
right to keep his marriage a secret,
having good reasons for SO doing, and
that he did not pay any attentions to
the young ladies that he could not have
paid them If they had known he was
married, and that, having been engaged
to teach the school, they have no right
to withhold his salary, which they
have done.
When they refused to sign his order
for salary upon County SUPERINTENDENT
Howard, he appealed to the State Su-
perintendent, Kirk, and the latter. after
hearing both sides, gave his opinion
that as long as Benedix was teaching
the school the Trustees could not refuse
to pay his salary, and recommended
that Superintendent Howard give him a
warrant on the County Auditor for his
salary.
The two Trustees wished to bring
verbal charges of unprofessional con-
duct against Benedix before the Coun-
ty Board Of Education, but were in
formed that they would have to be in
regular form, written and by affidavit,
and they have not yet been filed.
Meantime, it is stated that the two
Trustees have notified Benedix to close
the school, giving as their reason that
they do not consider him a fit man to
teach the children, and that he has re-
fused to give up the keys Each side
claims to have the sentiment of the
district in it's favor and the matter
will probably be referred to the courts
for final settlement, as the engagement
of Benedix was for the teaching of the
school for the school year, and the
right of the Trustees to take such ac-
ton will have to be determined.

Admiral Dewey's home coming was
accomplished ahead of program time.
The Admiral surprised his waiting
countrymen by dropping in among
them two days ahead Of time. But
he is a man Of surprises. He surprised
Montejo in Manila Bay when that gall
liant Admiral of the Spanish navy with
a superior force supported by land bat
teries waited to surprise the Yankee
and crush his light walls. It is said
that so confident was the Spaniard of
doing just that thing, that he had land
cells all ready for the reception Of the
prisoners he was to take Dewey sur
prised the naval men Of the world when
he quit fighting in the midst of battle,
and drew off to take account of ammu-
milton and ascertain why his shot was
not so effective as he desired it to be.
He surprised the civilized world by
holding his position alone and unaided
1000 miles from a base, with all ports
closed against him. He surprised his
