THE EMPRESS TUEN.
Strange History of the Ruler of the
Chinese Empire.
The true story of the woman who Is
;it the head of the Chinese empire, and
ivho has just summoned Li Hung
Chang bark to power is of extraordi?
nary significance as well as Interest.
? ays the Boston Transcript. It has
been told how. disappointed with her
son's weak and characterless rule. sIr
lius again taken Into her own hands,
openly, the reins of power which she
lias held in truth, for a generation.
Phis monarch, who Is comparable . to
Catharine, of Russia, in her sagacity
and shrewdness and Judicial wisdom,
was once a slave. When she was a lit
lle giry she was sold by her father lo
!>.- a slave in the family of a viceroy
it, a remote province .,f China. Her
father was of Tartar blood, and one of
those who could read, and would not
have thought of silling his child, al?
though she was "nothing but a girl;"
hut as the family had become destitute
in ii rebellion, the little girl of eleven
suggested this means of getting bread
for her mother and little brother and
her father, the little brother, who long
after -she sought out and made rieh
and powerful.
Tuen served the viceroy's .wife and
mother-in-law, and was taught spin?
ning and other useful arts by their
maids. When she was twelve she em?
broidered a beautiful tunic for the
viceroy, and he was so delighted with
it that he offered the little girl what?
ever she wished most. Then Tuen fell
on her knees and declared her heart's
desire. She wanted to read like her
fat'net-: It w as a most extraordinary
re.,u. st. The viceroy told her that
girl's could not learn such a thing, but
Tuen told him that she was, not to
blame that the gods had made her a
gill, and she could not help longing to
know how to read. So her master laid
lo t- taught, and his own daughter dying
after a time, site was lulopt. d as a
.laughter of the house ami given beau?
tiful dollies as well as lessons. Later
i be viceroy received some political
honor from the-emperor of China, and.
being desirous to give him a beautiful
atal worthy present in token of ac?
knowledgement, be followed tiie art?
less Oriental custom ami s.-nt Tuen tu
I' kin. The girl's feel had ne\;er been
bound, of course, and she could walk
up.hi .beui, and htr mind was developed
ln-yond thai of most Chinese women.
The favorite slave of the emperor of
China became the favorite wife, and
when the empress consort died, she be
eiin.iupress of China. On the jour?
ney by river to I'ekin. with servants
sept with her by the viceroy, she had
given a ring to a young lad who saved
:i 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, and he was
a sailor in Hie carse clothes or tie- lower
? lass. That was Li Hung Chang.

A G I lib AT TDK FRONT.
Miss Klsio Reasoner Saw What War
Was Like in Cuba.
To a bright and winsome miss of ^0
y. ars, says the New Vrnk Herald, be?
long.- the distinction of having been the
only American girl to follow the boys in
blue to Cuba and lo make her way t.
tiie front against many obstacles and
by h. r own exertions. Elsie Reasoner
is the name of the plucky little heroine.
From her picture one gels the impres?
sion that she is somewhat older and
taller than she really is. She does tn.i,
in fad. I .ok a day over ']:), and is a trim
lit lb- boy. as dainty as a bit of rate
I 'resdoh china.
.Miss Reasoner was born in Kansas, in
the midst of daisies and sunflowers,
and is a splendid example of the bright,
cheery, breezy, self-restraint girl if the
Western prairies. She writes well and
she talks well, inheriting these laleti's.
Perhaps, from her father. Judge Calvin
Reasoner, at one time a prominent edi?
torial writer or Leaven worth and later
connected with the Chicago press. As a
conversationalist and story teller he
has had few equals.
When the Spanish-American war
broke out Miss Reasoner was at Omaha
in charge of lb.- Bureau of Publicity at
the exposition. With the lirst sound of
ihe bugle she was astir, and determined
to go to Cuba to see for herself what a
real campaign and a real buttle were
lila-: ir, fact, as she confided to me. "I
had read what General Sherman said,
that 'war is hell.' and I was seized with
a desire lo investigate on my own ac?
count and see if he really knew what
he was talking about.
"I lirst sought some encouragement
from publishers, but gm little. Y.ut sie,
hnrdlv any one thought it possible Ilia:
I w ould ever reach the scene of the co :
diet, and most of my friends and ac?
quaintances who knew of my intention
either laughed at me or trfed to fright?
en me i hie publisher, for whose mag?
azine I thought I might write an inter?
esting-article descriptive of ItIV expe-i
encos. wrote me thai my proposed un?
dertaking was 'positively absurd and
foolhardy.' However. 1 persevered, and
in due tiin-- sailed from New York for
Kingston, bearing splendid letters of
recommendation from quite a number
of intluential public men.
"I had one to General Miles, one to
General Shatter, and several to officers
,.f the fleet, from Admiral Sampson
down to captains of the fighting ships.
From Kingston I went by rail to Port
Antonio a beautiful spot, by the way.
and .me about which very little s .- is
t.. be known in this country. After
waiting there some time the Red Cross
steamer State of Texas came over for
i. e for our wounded soldiers, and I w.s
permitted to board her and go on to
Slboney."
MoT CHINESE PHILOSOPHY.
Chinatown was hot. but not so hot
as the Chinamen thought, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
"A Chinaman always thinks." said a
policeman on the beat, "that it is either
lo.. hot or too cold. In the winter time
they till their blouses with thick fur and
wind their pig-tails about their ears
and then bowl. And now they wear
nothing nut a tar blouse, and in the
shop almost nothing, pant like dogs and
Ian themselves all day in a weak, me?
chanical sort of a way."
The Chinamen were so hot yesterday
thai they couldn't think or answer
questions.
"Do you come from Canton?" one of
them was asked.
"1 don't know," was the reply.
The saun- question put to another was
"Why you wont knoiv? Too hot much
talked."
An old chap', however, '.he cutest, sly?
est old chink in Chinatown, the police?
man said, was mole congenial.
"Want mucKee rain," he said; "too
muchee heat. New Chinee actor to?
night, niuchee blood, too muchee heat,
no laugh. Much American man. I
know gone to tight. He come back, but
muchee more American man in New
York, lb- no matter. Twi Chinee man
I know gone light, but he gon.ok
meat, no lire glint. Too muchee heat,
tire gun, he kill, too."
AN EXPLANATION.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
"George. Aunt Maria is very angry at
yon for saying she eats too much."
"Dear, dear 1 didn't say anything of
the kind."
"What did you say, George?"
"All Hun I said was that she had an
appetite like a mud dredge."
LONDON. Sept. 2.?The Westminster
Gazette says it is pleased to announce
that tin- liritish ambassador at St. Pe?
tersburg has communicated to the
Czar an expression of the hearty feel?
ing of sympathy and appreciation with
which Mr. Italfour read the imperial
rescript proposing a universal disarma?
ment.

WAR ENTHUSIASM COOLED.
How a Recruiting Officer Lost the

In a small Virginia town two ven?

war-glory talk of she .-Mister, mad.
him a verbal proposal to meol him at
(he station on a certain day am! sign
their papers and go away to the . amp
which he represented. The Hay cam..
and a huge crowd of their i.pie went
to the station to sec them off. Thft two
lads were the heroes of the hour, and
bore themselves with much swaggering
Jauntlness until a preacher railed the
.crowd to order that they might all pray
for their departing brothers. ?
In that prayer he held out no hopes
or a return, hut resigned them wholly
to death and the Spanish bullets. "Oh!
Lord, dese boys is been mighty dano'n'.
banjo-plckin' young uns. but. oh. Lord,
when de shells is if" bust in' round 'em
sabe dey souls. even-If dey bodies is
guine down to de black pit!"The ex?
citable crowd caught the spirit of the
prayer, and began to wail as if already
at a death scene. Funeral hymns look
the place of jests as in solemn proces?
sion they Hied past the two heroes ami
mournfully bade them farewell forever,
at the same time loading them will)
messages to departed friends.
"Good-bye, Jim. Ef you does happ.-n
to go lo heaben an' you sees my man
dar. jes' tell him howdy fer me."
"Farewell. Dick, farewell. We guine to

gits fai: and w hen we's eatin' water
milion we gwine to wish you could drap
a leetle of .1,- juice onto your burnin'
tongue way down yonder in torment."
Th, ordeal was loo severe for the
would-be sons of Mars. They wept as
loudly as any one over their stipposti
tious death and punishment, ami gazed
longingly back the way they had just
come Under the wailing admonitions
military honor lost its charm. A sud?
den beauty budded about their cast-off
hoc handles and haloed their forsaken
plows; and so, confessing the error of
their recent choice of an occupation,
they turned their backs on th.- tented
Held and went, instead, to the cot ion
patch. The chagrined enlisting olllcer,
having no signed papers |.. hold them,
was forced to submit to their latesi de
?isioti.
