BABY RULER
Is NominaIIy Emperor Of AGO.
 C00.0C0 People.
ToddIing Bcy Who Knows Nothing of Wars Tefrors or of the Pres ent Turmoil Throughout
 Eis Empire.

Pcking.-Little Pu-Yi is an innocent bit of a boy who knows no more of the terrors of war than of the mys- teries of chop suAy in an American restaurant. If he lives until Feb ruary 8, 1912, he will be six years Of age. During the last three years Pu- Ii nominally has been ruler of more than 4oo.000,e00 people and of lands that occupy a greater part of the earth than is covered by the United States.
 Princes who hold high places ir China are required to attain a high degree of proficiency. and Pu-Yi no doubt has been impressed with the cares of state. You may be certain that ho cares less for crown and scep- ter than for such choice morsels or endeariRg cafesse5 as may be per mitted to one in his exalted station.
 Pu-Yi may be a tyrant in the eyes of his nurse when it is time for him to be tucked away in his imperial bed and insists it isn't time to go, but savants as well as servants bow to this guileless infant He is served. fattered and adored, and he fondiy dreams each wind and star a friend His path may be made easy for a time, but if he lives to bear the bur deus of state there is danger that he may sink beneath a load of care.
 There is so much that is eXtraor- dinary in the history Of China that it would require volumes to tell it. To western people much seems strange and paradoxieal. The emperor is the Son of Heaven" and rules by "di- vine authority but arbitrary power is tempered in many ways. If he rules eerruptly or uniustly heaven will send disasters and calamity on the people and then rebellion will be justified. Histories tell how dynasties have come and gone in the thousands of years that this wonderful land has
