Encouraging His Companions.
Scudding before the storm for four
teen days and nights, the vessel finally
reached place where the seamens
trained ears caught the sound Of the
surf during the night. Then they cast
four anchors out Of the stern and wait
cd for morning. Meantime the Apostle
exhorted his companions to be Of good
cheer. Reminding them of his vision
and assuring them Of his absolute
faith therein, he urged them to take
food in order that they might be
strengthened for the exertions of the
coming day. His cheerfulness and his
example were contagious.
With the morning light they dis
cerned the shore and little bay, now
known as st. Paul's Bay, in the island
of Malta, then called Melita. The sail
ors cut loose from the anchors, hoisted
sail and sought to beach the boat. But
the vessel grounded on mudbank.
The forepart holding fast, the rear be-
gan to go to pieces with the force of
the waves; for it was meeting place
for two sea currents. In the night the
lifeboat had been cut adrift, because
the sailors had attempted to desert the
ship. st. Paul had discerned their In
tention, and had communicated the
facts to the centurion, advising that
the lifeboat be sent adrift and point
ing out the necessity Of compliance
with reasonable precautions to insure
the fulflment Of the Divine promise.
Seeing that only by swimming or by
floating on wreckage could the shore
be reached, the soldiers proposed that
the prisoners be killed; for under Ro-
man law they were answerable with
their lives for the security Of those
committed to their charge. But the
centurion had learned to esteem the
Apostle, and for his sake spared all
the prisoners, doubtless remembering
the vision which had inspired them all
with the hope and the courage which
had brought them thus far toward
safety. 1t turned out as st. Paul had
foretold-every human life was spared.

PRICE OF MEATS. IS MOUNTING
 SEWARD

SEATTLE, May 1. - Meat prices in Seattle are up-high!
 Beef has raised 25 per cent in a fortnight, hogs 90 per cent and lambs 50 per cent.
 Butchers predict that prices will go higher, but if not. will remain firm until the cheap grass cattle begin to come into the markets, in August.
 Butchers are paying 20 cents pound, it is said, for lambs, and the price is reported 23 cents for the same animal in Canada.
 No Dealers Making Money.
 Three months ago they were buying hogs on the hoof at to ' cents pound Today they are glad to pay g cents.
 "As a consequence. there isn't q meat dealers in Seattle today who is making his salt" Manager Guiseman, of Burgess X Guiseman. in the White public market, told The Star.
 "The packers raise the price to the retailers. but the retailer hesitates about boosting his price to the con sumer. because he loses his old GUS toners.
 Hard to Boost Prices.
 Its pretty hard to look the old customer in the eye and tell him he'll have to pay twice as much for lamb as he did two weeks ago. He thinks you are trying to hand him something. and you lose his trade"
 There are three reasons for high prices.
 The main one of the European war demand which in itself would create an abnormally high market in Am erica.
 Coupled with that is the enormous lamb shortage in Australia where drought last winter killed thousands upon thousands of animals.
 Eat More Meat in East.
 Added to these two causes is the fact that factory hands in the eastern states suddenly become in funds are eating more meat than formerly they could afford.
 From New York comes word that packing houses of that city, Chicago and Kansas City are filling orders for Europe as fast as they can.
 A Chicago house contracted for 26,- 100000 pounds of meat for the allies two weeks ago. ., Payment Is Prompt.
 The orders are more desirable, the dealer, asserted. than supplying the demands in the United States, as the minute a foreign order is placed aboard boat for shipment, it is paid | for in American gold.

audience will see finest east OF local
actors thar has ever appeared behind

most notable aggregation of amateur
Ithespisns ever brought together at one

Ilieve this take a look at the list Of
players, which is published elsewhere
and which will continue TO be publish
ed elsewhere until everybody in town
believes it. As Shakespeare once said
iof certain bunch Of players: They
are the best actors in the world, either
for tragedy or comedy The immortal

latply as to tragedy, but when it comes
10 comedy, and especially TO farce com
.edy, and more especially still, TO melO-
dramatic farce comedy (which is what
The Dictator really is) the Cher
rian actors are there a million.
Standing head and shoulders above
ANY other comedian of his particular
class, and standing also with slight
characteristic stoop inherited from his
famous father, is Laurence Hofer,
sometimes called Larry Hofer. and
sometimes Just Larry In '.The
Dictator he is called duffy" be-
cause that is the name which Richard
Hardin Davis wished on the character
Larry plavs "Du.-y' i secret ser

knows it, About every five minutes

forth and announces to everybody pres
ent that he is q government sleuth. and
displays his badge to prove it. He sue
ceeds in arresting everybody IN the
east except the man he is after, and
finally performs the marvellous stunt
of arTesting himself. There is no other
character like "Dufty.' Sleuths may
come and sleuths may go, but Duffy
stands alone and without a rival in
the whole range of detective fiction.
Compared to him Raffels is the merest
infant, and Sherlock Holmes is in the
same class with a village police force.
No one who saw 'The Fortune Hunt
Ter" last spring needs to be told that
Larry Hofer is q splendid actor. There
are folks in Salem who are still laugh
ing over his performance of "'Pete
Willing" the sheriff in that clever
comedy. In 1.-THE Dictator he has
a bigger, better and an infinitely more
amusing role than that in which he
made bis initial bow TO the local pub
lie. His hundreds of friends will eager

liant young man in the histrionic lime
light again when ''Thc Dictator opens

erybody who wants 10 see the play can
afford to do SO. The prices for the best

more The gallery win be two bits.
The Cherrians admit that the play will
be worth a great deal more than they
are charging for il; so does James Mott
