TRAINING SHIP SAFE.
The Mohican Forced to Put Into Dutch
Harbor for SuDpIies

SEATTLE. Wash. July 1.-THE United
States training ship Mohican is safe. She
arrived at Dutch harbor in distress June
Is. after being out from Yokohama thirty
nine days. When she arrived at Dutch
harbor she was out of fuel, and the food
supply was running low. Three DAYS more
and it would have become a serious cues
ton of finding sufficient to eat for the
young sailors on board. The fact that she
carried a full complement of sails proba bly,
saved her.
The MOhican left Yokohama bound for
Honolulu direct, but encountered head
winds that drove her off her course She
was finally driven into the Great Circle.
and brought up at Dutch harbOr. Had the
captain attempted to sail into Honolulu
ii is not believed his supply of food would
have held out. After replenishing her sup
ply of food and fuel at Dutch harbOr the
Mohican sailed June 80 for Honolulu

Victory for American Diplomacy.
WASHINGTON, July H.-Officials of the
State Department are gratifed at the in
formation conveyed in press dispatches
from Picking to the effect that the foreign
ministers have agreed on the terms under
which Tien-Tsin is to be turned over To
the Chinese. and also at thesvictory for
American diplomacy involved in the anne
Iteration Of the stringent terms first i'm
posed. Some concern, however, is felt here
in regard to the statement that the min
listers are considering the question of re-
imbursing the foreign concessiOnaries for
the grants obtained under the provisional
government which are now reported to be
declared invalid by the terms OF the Tien-
Tsin agreement. II is pointed out that
the German, French and other citizens
who obtained concessions from the pro-
visional government did so with their eyes
open TO the probability of a change of
government at Tien-Tsin. and a consequent
annulment OF their concessions, and it is
felt that the Chinese treasury should not
be drained for the purpose indicated. Ii
is therefore probable that some influence
will be brought to bear by this government
to prevent another inroad on the Chinese
government funds.

JINIMY'S HALLOWEEN ADVENTURE.

1t was one of the happiest Halloween
parties of the season that Jimmy and
Mabel Barclow gave All the usual Hal
loween games had been played with
unusual precision and enthusiasm UP
to the time that Jimmy proposed the
water and salt trick
You just go around the block with
your mouth full of water and one
hand full of salt" said Jimmy, and If
you get all the way around without
spilling drop of water or grain of
salt the wish that you wish on the way
will come true. If you laugh and swal
low the water or forget to hold your
hand tightly doubled up. your wish won't
come true, so you have to be very care
full and, OF course, you can't speak to
any one on the way
All the boys and girls at the party
said they thought it was beautiful
trick. until Jimmy added:
And, of course, each one has to go
alone
There was a general falling off of en-
thusiasm. and no one volunteered to 50
first. The Barclows lived on a block
which, as Mrs. Barclow sometimes COM
planned to the children's father. turned
a very fair face to the world. but was
more than doubtful in the rear. Just

houses In which the Barclows' home

cover the ground quickly! Why. almost
before ne knew it he was at the other
end OF The Land of the West Winds.
Now, here 1t was that lived the witch
who was called Zut. who was the most
wicked witch in all Fairyland; and she
it was that bold Terence was seeking.
When he found her she was sitting on
the very edge of the Other End, comb
ing her hair and planning all manner of
evil But Terence was In no wise afraid.
and up to her he walks, and says he
But just then the witch took a good
look at him and saw who he was. and
knew that he had come so far for no
good to her So fairly boiling with an
ger, she put on MIN the charm which
should have changed him TO toad. but
it never touched bold Terence.

"Aw. now. my lady, you would not do
a thing like that to a poor lad?"
You're a toad says she, positively.

answered. politely.
So the witch who had made herself q
beautiful princess enchanted herself for
ever, so that it might never be broken,

thing was happy until this distressing
matter Of the Enchanted Princess be-
gan to worry the good King. And Gem
eral Terence, seeing this, puzzled his
head for way out of the trouble, be-
cause he was fond Of the King and
didn't like to see him so downcast. And
presently Terence had bold, grand idea
and went to the King and asked for
leave of absence for day or so.
You'll not be leaving us?" says the
King, more worried than ever
Never the bit Of 1t, answers the
bold Terence. Tis but trifie Of

down from the walls three charms which
he found hanging there, one of which
gave the wearer the power Of seeing all
invisible objects, even by night. and
another gave him the strength of two

third made it impossible to bewitch or

questioned his rescuer.
Jimmy nodded violent yes"
We'll. you're queer said the red

the evening, too. when the children
knew the occ'' rnts of the shanties were
particularly rechi ,sa. However, it was
felt that NJ Ta Z ween game in good
and regular .t-.Iding could be ignored
and after few moments of silent cogi-
tation Jimmy himself offered to go first
The othe.e watched him start out with
mingled feelings of admiration and fear.
Jimmy doubled his fist tightly over the
salt and puffed his cheeks stoutly over
the water. 1t took him but a few mo-
ments TO reach the corner and to turn
from the brightly lighted street into the
gloomy, narrow shanty alley.
AS he had expected. the residents of
the quarter were many of them upon
the streets in spite of the cool evening,
and those who were not quarreling and
gcssiping outside, sat at their open
windows joining now and again in the
conversation.
Prudent boy as he was, Jimmy had
saved his wish up until he should need
1t. Il guess I'll wish to get safely
around" he thought. just as the shanty
quarter residents caught sight of him
and raised shout at his expense. But
he took back the wish Immediately.
No | won't. either" he thought; ~
may need it worse than | do now and
he started to run past shouting group
of men and women.
A big hand caught him by the collar.
What are you making faces at?" asked
a rough voice. Jimmy would have liked
to explain that he wasn't making faces,
but holding water in his mouth. but he
couldn't without losing his chance to
wish, so he kept silent.
Cant you say nothin'?' asked the
man. snlkily.
Jimmy shook his head.
Half n dozen more men and women
joined the mas who held him. The hand
on Jlmmy's collar took so tight a gasp
that it hurt him. Some of the rough
men and women jostled him and some
tried to trip him Up. Jimmy was pros
porous boy, and as he saw the greed in
his captors' eyes he remembered with
sinking heart that slowed away under
his overcoat was his handsome new gold
watch. II must shout for help" thought
Jimmy, "even If / do swallow the water
and lose my chance to wish Suddenly,
while he still held on a moment longer
a cry came from the end of the street.
Fight, Fight" screamed boy of
about Jimmy's own age, rushing around
the corner. The boys face was wildly
excited, and his red hair stood up in
thick mop.
Jimmy felt his captor's hold release
itself, and with an answering cry he
started In the direction from which the
boy came with the other men and
women at his heels.
Finding himself thus suddenly ut lib
erty Jimmy also began running around
