Last night was practically the first
performance, although the piece had
been tried out in Annapolis. Principals
and chorus were not particularly well
drilled, and consequently many little

doubtless disappear with further per-
formances.
Charles Emerson Cook and Lucius
HOsmer are the authors Of The Rose

Insanity and the Simple Life.

The Medical Record, one of the
most conservative Of the class pub
lications in America. becomes al
most sensational in a note of warn
ing to the American people, point
ing out the dangers that result
from modern methods of living. In
effect, the Record asserts, with the
inference that medical authority
backs it opinions, that the prevail
ence of insanity in America is due
to the conditions of modern life, not
TO the toll and trouble and hard
work, but TO the luxuries and con-
veniences which seem TO be the OBJ
iect of most OF the fierce battles of
these days. Things viii right
themselves in the course of time, -
says the Record, but in the mean
time conditions of modern life give
ample room for thought. and at
times one cannot avoid asking
whether the luXuries and eonven-
fences of the present-day living have
not been bought too dearly"
The authority then goes on to
show that few persons are killed by
overwork. Fresh air and work are
the foundations of the law of san
ity, the violators of it suffer penal
ties that cannot be avoided. The
body, drained by hard work, de-
mands the reeuperating treatment

rs West Ninety-hfth street.
Virginia your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the scepti-
cism of a sceptical age. They do not
believe except they see. They think
that nothing can be which Is not COM
prehensible by their little minds. All
minds Virginia, whether they be men s
or children's, are little. In this great
universe Of ours man is a mere insect,
an ant in his intellect. as compared with
the bOundless world about him. as
measured by the intelligence capable of
grasplng the whole OF truth and knoWl-
edge.
Yes. Virginia. there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and gen.
erosity and devotion exist and you
know that they abound and give TO your
life it's highest beauty and Joy. Alasi
how dreary would be the world If there
were no Santa Claus! 1t would be as
dreary as IL there were no NlFginias
There would be no childlike faith then
no poetry, no romance to make tOlerable
this existence. We should have no en-
1oyment except in sense and sight. The
eternal light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguished
Not believe in Santa Clausi You
might as well not believe IN fairies!
You might get your papa 10 hire men
TO watch in ali the chimneys on Christ
but even if they did not see
Santa Claus coming down, what would
that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
Santa Claus. The most real things in
the world are those that neither chill
dren nor men can see. Did you ever
see fairies dancing on the lawn? OF
course not, but that's no proof that they
are not there. Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders there are un-
seen and unseeable IN the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle
and see what makes the noise inside
but there is a veil covering the unseen
world which not the strongest man.
not even the united strength OF all the
strongest men that ever lived, could

Those Who Work at Christmas.

Before trees glistening with can
dies, in churches resounding with
beautiful music, about hearth fires
shedding their coy glow upon a
pure home life, most of us Of
Washington are today celebrating
Christmas. 1t is a festival which no
cynicism can rob of its heart-warm-
ing influence, a time when no false
reasoning can dim the beautiful
light OF home.
But in the midst of all this we
owe il to ourselves TO give a
thought-and something more prac-
tical if we can-to the army of
workers who are kept at their labors
all Christmas Day for our benefit.
The doctors, who are bound to their
patients; the street car operatives,
who carry as to our friends houses
and back home; the eXpressmen,
who fetch gifts from afar; the
trainmen. the merchants, the post
men, perhaps most of ali. who bring
the messages that bind us to our
friends in the very season of friend
" manitestations-these all are sac
rifcing their festival for us.
Good Will toward men" is an
empty phrase if it does not lead US
today to remember them and include
them. if we can, in the happiness of
orr daN.

Coffee and Duty.

The Presidents special message
on the subject of Porto Rico and
her coffee production is not as final
as most of his public utterances. He
submits a memorial from the citi-
' zens of the island asking for an i'm
port duty, but fails to make any
recommendation on the subject. The
petition, which has the Endorsement
of Governor Winthrop, asks Con-
gress to levy duty of 8 cents a
pound on coffee imports. This would
increase the revenues of Porto Rico
bv a matter OF S3,0OO,OOO annually.
This would be all fine enough fer
the Porto Ricans, but it would fall
pretty heavy on the American con
sumner. Porto Rico's output of cof-
fee is Just about one-sixteenth Of
the total coffee imported TO the
United States. \ duty that would
yield Porto Rico 100000, there
fore, would place a tax OF about $780,
O0O. 900 on the coffee drinkers of the
country and add that sum to a
treasury that is already groaning
under an accumulated surplus of
cash.
As "a simple business proposition,
the United States would better ap-
propriate S3OOO,OOO for the Porto
Ricans than make a tax on the
country of S5O,0OO,OOO in the form of
a tax that is unnecessary and would
