by the large inc-eaSs in Operating Expenses, due
principally to advances in wages Of employees
The burden Of this and other increased outlAys

THE NATIONAL.
CESeNeu Days.

Seven Days has finally come to
Washington. For year or more we
have heard reports Of this farce, its in
genuity, originality. and humor. but
such runors have often heralded the
coming of many an inflated broadway
success" destined to die on the road.
It was, therefore, a skeptical audience
that greeted the rising curtain and the
burglar concealed in the home of
Bubbles" Wilson. while the policeman
on the beat was being entertained below
stairs.
But it smiled when Bubbles friends
came in for his divorce anniversary par
ty, and it chuckled when the exsMrs-
Wilson also dropped in. And when the
proverbiaI rich aunt of anti-divorce SEN
timents descended upon the house and
the cherrbic host needs must have a
short-order wife, and when a smallpox
quarantine imprisoned this ill-asSorted
lot for seven days, it was good to hear
the laughter that rang through the house.
Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hop
wood have certainly made the most of
their opportunities. Every situation
tells, every line scores, and best of all,
the risque twang of foreign farce is en-
tirely absent
The company seen this week is not the
original of the long run. For the most
part its members are strangers, but each
works with fine spirit, the characterize
tons are well defined, and the all-impor-
tant teamwork is excellent. Miss Irma
La Pierre, however, stands out in the
cast for her realistic portrayal of the
tipsy wife with psychic powers, and Miss
Helen Cullinan for her lifelike drawing Of
the frank Kit McNair.

Toronto. March 5.-Sir James Whitney,

SONG OF THE SPADE.

I am the spade. the humble spade,
Plain. sturdy, tireless, unafraid;
OF all the servants of mankind
None better or more true you'll find,
Poets have sung the glttering sword
Till I, for one, am somewhat bored
An age of peace its reign should end,
Mans enemy, and not his friend
Others have praised the nimble pen,
The instrument of clerkly men;
Yet It's too oft a treacherouS thing
That bears a poison pointed sting.
Then there's the flag, the SNOWY flag;
For it let patriot ardors burn
But does it make a fair return?
The sword. the pen, the fag-all
three
Together cannot vie with me;
Since human history. began 81:
Eve toiled Increasingly for man.
l. trench the isthmus. main to main;
/ sirrisate the thirsty plain;
| turn the hillside rough and bare
To fertile held and garden fair.
