Paymaster Captain w. F. Creary paid

one of the biggest pay days that has
occurred since the close OF the Spanish
American war.
The transport Sherman, which left
Honolulu last Monday. is due in port
either tomorrow night or early Mon
day morning. She brings the Thirtieth

Three Sailor Boys Leave the
Naval Training Station at
Night Intending TO Desert
BOAT FILLS AND SINKS
Their Cries Are Heard by Mate
of a Ship, Who Rescues and
Returns Runaways to Island

T. Cook. landsman, and z. l. and Z.
@. Couch. brothers and naval appren-
tices, tried TO desert from the Yerba
Buena training station Thursday
night. but only succeeded in running
close race with death. They won the
race as far as the reaper was con-
cerned, bur as return t. the island was
the price Of victory the would-be dc
serters' Joy is not the really rosy arti-
Gle
Several hours after taps had sound
ed. when the island was wrapped il
night and all but the sentries slum-
bered, the unfaithful three stole their
silent way 10 a place on the beach
where the tide lapped the time-worn
timbers of a skif belonging to a visit
ing pile-drivins outfit. Noiselessly the
trio embarked and without parting sa-
lutte or even spoken farewell padded
their craft away from the shore.
Once clear Of the island the ebb tide
took charge Of the skin and the de-
serters were filling their lungs with the
air Of freedom when splash in the
bottom Of the boat called attention 20
the fact that their vessel was Of close
kin to a sieve.
There was nothing with which 20
bale and with terrifying raDidity the
cold bay waters poured in through the
open seams. She filled, she sank mad
three badly scared sailor boys found
themselves swimming on the chilly
bosom of an ocean-going tide.
The mate of the British ship Levern-
bank was taking the air about this
time and when cries OF help" suddenly
filled the air he was quick TO respond.
Although ready for sea the Levernbank
lacked a crew. but in the half deck
were half a dozen sleeping apprentices
The mates man overheard" sent their
dreams a-scattering and in few min-
utes one or The Britishers boats was
pulling In the direction Of the cries.
The three half-drowned deserters were
picked uD off Alcatraz and taken
aboard the Levernbank-
After breakfast yesterday morning
they were placed aboard a Crowley
launch and taken to the Yerba Buena
station, where. in the brig OF the Pen
sacola, they await the punishment pro-
vided in the navy regulations for
young men who try TO break contracts
with Uncle Sam.

First-love is instinct. Those who
mate by intuition mutually discover
ana recognize each other, are adapted
to each other, united forever, faithful
and devoted to the last. Being satis-
fed they complement and complete
themselves together, and need look no
further. This is the divine ideal Of
marriage.
All other love is philosophy. The
common mass OF people are up to
matchmaking. They have not the
power to discern the spirit that awaits
them to perfect and make them happy.
Each must find mate if he can. He
must look for what he wants, according
to his need or notion. He may meet
his fate unawares, or he may seek for
a mate with care. Naturally every one
has his own theory Of love and mar
riage. With one it may be matter OF
fancy. A pretty face, a graceful form,
or a charm of manner may be the
means which leads to love and wedlock.
In others imagination is the secret
power, in either Sex, which moves the
heart to invest some one with the ideal
which haunts the soul. With few
it may be that reason touched with
warm affections leads to matrimOny.
The natural law Of selection is thai
of complemental differences. Eacf
wants what is most lacking in his owl
nature. The Adam in man admire'
that which was taken from him an(
given to his Eve. And the Eve that il
in woman leads to her love for tn
!. Adam from which she is separated
I But our human nature has becom
much mixed. Many generations o
blood are mingled in our veins. Their
are great diverSitieS of temperament
and mental and moral conditions G
4 | life. Some men are more femlnln
than some women, and some wome
: are more masculine than some mer
Some are unfit for the married lii
altogether no doubt; and others hav
+ neither the gift nor call to matrimon.
e 1t is natural that those who ought
n marry are best adapted to each othe
and should be most attractive to eac
other. A little feminine man is al
k to choose a large masculine mate;
t. long man is likely to prefer sho
wife; serious man loves live
woman; and saints sometimes W.
<, sinners to their life long sorrow.
n First-love is a gift and sacrif1c
and all other love is bargain. Tr
love gives up self and all for the sa
I'd of the beloved. 1t is unreserved sac
I'd flee. The ideal love makes no cont
tions. Father and mother, hon
country and kindred, friends, rich
d. learning and every ambition are Ia
10 upon the altar Of this all-consumi
