MIR. YUIE IN "THE RIVALS

William Yule, the able comedian who
has so firmly established himself in
the favour Of Devils Lake theatrego.
ers, will shortly be seen here in re.
vival of Richard Brinsley Sheridan Is
famous comedy of manners, ''The Ri.
vals." Mr.. Yule, of course, will as
sumo the role of the valiant Bob Acres,
who is willing to fight Tor the favour
of his lady-love, but who is put
through so many trying scenes and lu-
dicrous situations by his sly friend,
Sir Lucius O'Trigger. That Mr.. Yule
will make the same success of this ia
nous role he has in the many notable
Shakespearian characters he has as
sumed in past seasons, no one can
doubt who knows his natural ability
as character comedian. He will have
fine supporting company to interpret
the many difficult roles such as Sir
Lucius O'Trigger, Mrs. Malaprop, Sir
Anthony Absolute and the others of the
play.
This will be a rare opportunity for
students of English literature, but that
the fact that "The Rivals' is class
lie need not brighten away those who
have not yet had the opportunity of
reading or enjoying it on the stage, for
it is one of the cleverest comedies ever
presented, and is most fascinating for
the lines are brilliantly witty and the
situations exceedingly droll and ludi-
crous.
No doubt a large and brilliant COM
pany will assemble to see Mr.. Yule and
his company in "The Rivals' at the
Grand opera house on April 10th, when
they appear for a limited engagement
of one night.

arias. in this lesson. Verses 6S-7O con.
stitute the first division of this prophe-
cy; praise to God. To Him all honor
and praise are to be given for the full
flment Of His gracious promises of
old. "for He hath visited and brought
redemption to His people; He hath
raised up horn of salvation for us in
the house of His servant David"
Here. after the usual manner of
prophecies, the thing about to be &C.
complished is spoken of as though It
had been done.
AS John the Baptist was born but
six months before Jesus, it follows
that the begetting of Jesus had already
taken place at the time of this prophe-
cy. The Holy Spirit spoke of the
things begun, but not yet accomplish
ed. us though finished: HE hath visit
ed and brought redemption for His
people"
This word redemption applies not only
to the redeeming work accomplished
by Jesus in the conservation of His
life at baptism and down to the COM
pletion of His sacrifice at Calvary, but
it is comprehensive enough to take in
all the work Of retaining humanity.
DeIiverance From Enemies.
The second section or strOphe of this
prophetic poem runs from verse II to
10 1t relates to the deliverance of
Gods people from the power of their
enemies One important thought here
is that none but Gods people will
ever be delivered from the enemies
here referred to.
During Messiah's reign of a thou
sand years, when all the blind eyes
will be opened and all the deaf ears
will be unstopped, and when the
knowledge of the glory of Gods char
acter will be clearly revealed and the
horribleness Of sin be manifested
then many. now led captive by Satan
at his will. will bow the knee and con-
fess to the glory Of God.
In other words. as Jesus said, His
consecrated followers are His little
flock" of the present time. But during
His glorious reign He will gather an
other flock. AS He said, "Other sheep

When Sleeper Is. Attacked.
New York Evening Telegram
Any one wanting a perfectly q
rat can have it today by calling
the morgue. The rat being de
has not as much market value
one with normal respiration, pu
and all that, but it looks naturl
Among those who are not expect
to call for the prize is Edward HO
ell, 80 years old, of 369 East Eigh
street. Howell is today nursing Il
wounds on his right hand as a resi-
of his introduction to the rat, an
will have to buy more ammunitioa
for his revolver.
According to the story he told
when he went to Bellevue hospital
to have his wounds cauterized and
donate the body of the rat to the
cause of science he was asleep in
his home when the rat aroused him
by getting his thumb between its
incisors and closing its jaws. How
ell naturally woke up and kicked
the rat. The rodent, not being ac-
customed to this sort of treatment,
went back to demonstrate with How
ell, who by this time took a revolver
from under his pillow and started
firing at him.
Each time the rat lodged, and the
five shots went wild Then he
took club that hung on the end of
the bed and started for the rat with
that. The rodent made a leap for
life, and landing on the business end
of the club ran up it to Howells
hand and bit him again. The man
shook it off, and on the next heaye
the rats obituary was ready for
writing up.
