Midway Islands, Pacific ocean, Dee, lS Stress of weather which compell- ed the Commercial Pacific Cable com pany's schooner Flaurence Ward to devlate from her course from l1onolu- lu to the cable station here and run for Lee Hermes Island for shelter was the means of the rescue of three ma rooned Japanese plumage hunters and their release from further torture and probably from death from dis ease or starvation. Originally there were four men of the party but one of them died. The schooner which landed the men on the island and was to have returned for them Is supposed to have been lost.
 The tlaurence Ward was bringing supplies here from Honolulu when a heavy gale broke and she was com pelled to seek shelter at Lee Hermes island eighty miles southeast of Mid way Distress signals were observed on shore and Captain Pilt2 sent a small boat to investigate. Three Jap anese sailors were foupd. Two of them were SulPTlnR lIOHl SCulNy' lH' other man also was in bad shape.

Woman And Her Ways.

A rifty woman will make her home
attractive, though it may be hut in the
Wilderness
Women sometimes lose sight of great
things by their attention to insignificant
details.
Woman's honesty is proverbial. The
exceptions are few and far between.
Women never enter into conspiracies
with each other. Men usually conceive
them and induce women to join in theil
execution.
Awronged woman should be implacable,
but rarely is. She is most likely to for
give and forget.
1t is supposed that the injunction to turn
the other cheek if one is smitten was direct
ed exclusively to women.
Women are supposed to hide behind
smiling face all the SORROWS of an aching
heart. Many succeed in practicing the
deception.
