THE EMPRESS TUEN.
The Romantic but n1rue History of
Chi2a's Real Ruler.

FEOD. the Boston Transcript.
The true story of the woman who is at the
head of the Chinese empire, and who has
just summoned Ii Hung Chang back to
power, is of extraordinary significance as
well as interest. 1t has been told how, dis
appointed with Eer sons weak and charac-
terless rule, she has again taken into her
own hands, openly, the reins of power
which she has held In truth for genera
ton. This monarch, who is comparable to
Catharine of Russia in her sagacity and
skrawdness and judicial wisdom. was once
a slave. When she was little girl she was
sold by her father TO be a slave in the fam
lily of a viceroy in a remote province of
China. Her father was of Tartar blood
and one of those who could read, and would
not have thought of selling his child al
though she was nothing but girl" but as
the family had become destitute in rebel
lion the little girl of eleven suggested this
means of getting bread for her mother and
little brother and her father-the little
brother whom long after she sought and
made rich and powerful.
Tuen served the viceroy's wife and moth
er-in-law, and was taught spinning and
other useful arts by their maids. When
she was twelve she embroidered a beautiful
tunic for the viceroy, and he was SO de-
lighted with it that he offered the little
slave whatever she wished most Then
Tuen fell on her knees and declared her
hearts desire. She wanted to learn to read
like her father 1t was most extraordi-
nary request. The viceroy told her that
girls could not learn such thing but Tuen
told him she was not to blame that tn.
gods had made her a girl, and she could
not help longing to know how to read So
her master had her taught, and his own
daughter dying after time, she was adopt-
ed as q daughter Of the house and given
beautiful clothes as well as lessons.
Later the vfceroy received some political
honor from the Emperor of China, and, be-
ing desirous to give him a beautiful and
worthy present in token of acknowledge
ment, he followed the artless oriental Gus
tom and sent Tuen to Pekin. The girls feet
had never been bound Of course and she
could walk upon them, and her mind was
developed bayoHd that of most Chinese wo-
men. The favorite slave of the Emperor of
China became the favorite wife, and when
the empress consort died shs became En-
press of China. On the journey by river to
Pekin. with servants sent with her by the
viceroy, she had given ring to young lad
who saved a man from drowning in the
river. She had promised the ring to any
one who would save the drowning man.
The youth to whom she gave the ring had a
bright, intelligent face; he was q sailor in
the coarse clothes Of the lower class That
was Ii Hung Chang
During her sons minority Tuen was "a.
gent, and now as empress dowaeer she
again assumes command. The emperor is
ABOUT twenty-four years old; the empress is
sixty, -

Waiting.

Paul Laurence Dunbar in the Cosmopolitan.
The sun has slipped his tether
And galloped down the west
(Oh, It's weary, weary waiting loyel
The little bird Is sleeping
In the softness of its nest
Night follows day, day follows dawn
And SO the time has come and gone: '
And it's weary, weary waiting love-
The cruel wind is rising
With a whistle and a wall
(AHd it's weary, weary waiting leyel
Ny eyes are seawaFd straining
For the coming Of sail:
But void the sea, and void the beach
Far and beyond where gaze can reachf
And it's weary, weary waiting, love
heard the bell-buoy ringing
How long ago it seems!
tOh, it's weary, weary waiting loyel
And ever still, its knelliHg
Crashes in upon my dreams
The banns were read, my frock was sewn
Since then two seasons winds have bloyyn n.
And It's weary, weary waiting, love-
The stretches of the ocean
Are bare and bleak today.
ton, it's weary, weary waiting lovel
My eyes are growing dimmer-
Is 1t tears OF age, Or spray?
But will stay till you come home
Strange ships come in across the feamf
Aho IT'S weary, weary waiting, love.

Sweet Rose.


Clifton Bingham In Chambers Journal
Sweet rose, .awakirae to the light,
Into this fair wolld bogp
little folded bud at night
flower at break of morn!
Yet thou tiny tear OF dew
Within thy heart dost bear,
Though earth is glad and life is new,
And thou art sweet and fair!
Thy perfume wider YET;
Though soon the summer hours are fed,
Thy fate, sweet sese, forget!
With fragrance all the garden fill
That those who pass ahd see
Shall deem the bright world brighter still
Because of 1t and theet
Sweet rose. God made thee fair to take
Thy tiny place afid paft
To soothe some spirit like to break
To cheer some burdened heart
Weep not for aGght that fate may send,
But, ere thy day is spent,
Live out thy life unto FITS end
Then die and sleep content!
