Empress has not been too progressive.
The Empress has TO obey her lord as she
is now doing, when she rules for him.
Let no one think that it is snap
10 be the Empress OF China. The new
ruler Of the Chinese Kingdom rises al
three o'clock every morning, when is
long before daybrcak Should she over
sleep herself, which poor. tired little
woman, she is apt 20 do, loud gong
makes night hidoous over her head. The
Emperor in his quiet room is allowed
to sleep, but the ruler cannot rest. As
soon as she is dressed, which must not
take over an hour. she grants an audi
ence 10 her ministers. Grants lis rath-
er peculiar word when Won reflect that
in China the Emperor Is a slave 10 his
ministers. She meets the commissioners
and goes through the routine of the
Chimes state business which is a long
tedious task
After this is over the Empress is al
lowed her breakfast and az this break
fast she eats only certain foods, for the
women of China can only eat certain
things in the morning.
After breakfast the queen meets the
ministers again and confers with them in
a dreary, cabinet hall At this meeting
she meets the finance committee and all
the expenditures OF the state and the
royal household are gone over.
In the afternoon there is another cabi-
net meeting, and when night comes the
poor little Empress is tired indeed. The
Empress Of China. besides having all the
troubles inseparable from the rule of a
great kingdom, must now meet the war
question. She would little relish having
Russia or England gobble uD a portion
of the kingdom during her reign. When
trying diplomatic points are presented
she puzzles them out OF herself. for the
Emperor has been too sick a man 10 I'M
ravel knotty problems.
The Empress appoints the officers or
the city as well as the servants and rul-
ers Of her household and she also acts
as judge. for at complaints she must de-
eide whether or not the office holders are
TO be removed.
AS soon as the Emperor RECEIVERS he
will take his place again upon the throne
and by that time It is pretty certain that
