thettcal comment and word painting of
the Secretary of Agriculture. It la a
pardonable ^>rkle th;« Secretary Wil­
son takes iu looking back to tNe time
of his entering the cabinet in 1807
and viewing the mighty Increase in
farm wealth that has occurred during
his administration of the Department
of Agriculture. Prices have doubled
and tripled during the twelve-year per­
iod, and if he were to retire now the
Secretary would have the satisfaction
of feeling that his work has contributed
in some measure to the progress that
ha* been made. Credit must be given,
of course, to nature aud general nation­
al progress, but the experiment sta­
tions, the close touch between the de­
partment and the individual farmer,
the dissemination of expert knowledge,
have contributed to make the farmer
get lietter results from his land. Farm
life has Improved, and there is a niove-
ment to make it still better, The eoun-
try rejoices with Secretary Wilson.
In November came the report of the
dpath of Kuang-hsu, Emperor of China;
a day later the news was published
that the Empress Dowager, Tzu hsi was
dead, too. In death, as In the import­
ant part of his life, the Emperor was
overshadowed by his aunt, the mys­
terious old woman whose will has for
many years dominated his own. Sixty
years ago this queen, who ruled over a
quarter of the human race, was a slave.
Her father, a man of noble blood, fallen
into poverty, had sold her to General
Ti-Du. He loved her, and gave her a
good education. When, as the custom
Is, the Manchu girls were summoned by
proclamation to the palace that wives
might be chosen for the Emperor, she
Insisted on entering the competition,
The general adopted her and fitted her
for the trial. She became one of the
Emperor s secondary wives, won power
first over his mother, then over him,
bore him an heir, and came gradually
to dominate the court. At the Emperor’s
death, which occurred Just when the
European powers, by the war of 1860,
had forced open the door of China, she
made herself coregent with her sister-
in-law, the first Empress. When her
son came of age she defeated 1:1s will,
and at his death she set aside the right­
ful heir and put In his place the prince
who has Just died. This prince, Kuang-
hsu, adopted modern Meas, and attempt­
ed to reform the government. When,
therefore, the Empress usur]>ed his
power, the conservatives at the court
supported her. There Is no doubt that
she was In sympathy with the Boxer
movement. But when that movement
failed, the Empress fixed the responsi­
bility on others and took the part of a
moderate liberal. In a nation where
women have little authority—although
the wmen of the royal palace have al­
ways been powerful—Tzu-hsi became
one of the great women of history, a
politician equal to any from Cleopatra
to Catherine the Great. In a nation
where the laws of royal succession are
ancient and rigid, she usurped the pow­
er of the throne and took her place
among the Tamerlanes and Napoleons.

much notice, but climbed on the little
man's knees and begged for pennies,
which he gave them with smilirtg good
nature. But when the boys had gone
to bed, and he was alone in the little
sitting room, he sat with his head in
his hands, asking himself what it all
meant.
Why were some men slngbx! out for
such homes as this, he wondered, whilst
others had love, happiness, and all that
made life worth living? There was Tom
Harris, for example, who worked in his
shop. Harris was anything but a saint,
and drank a large part of his wages,
but he had a wife who wonbiped him,
and his home was always comfortable
and cozy. There was Barclay, that long,
ugly fellow, who frequently blacked his
wife’s eyes, but who, nevertheless, led
a pleasant life enough when he was not
under the influence of drink, whilst he,
Huxtable, was bullied and badgered
from morning to night, until his exist­
ence was rendered almost unbearable.
As he sat and pondered things, he re­
membered how another acquaintance of
his own had cut the Gordian knot
abruptly by clearing out and leaving
his unkind wife to her own resources.
He had gone off suddenly, and no news
had been heard of him afterward. Some
said he had gone to Canada, the place
where a man who knew a decent trade
could always get good work and good
wages.
Of late, Huxtable had thought n
good deal about this man. Secretly, he
had envied him his pluck, and had
wished that he, too, could do likewise.
O, for a glorious «|>ell of freedom—free­
dom from that harsh voice—from that
most gloomy face. If only he dared.

enough the first tiling which he noticed
was the advertisement of a steamship
company that announced reduced rates
to Canadian ports. Huxtable began to

He knocked timldlly at the door. It
was flung open by a very slatternly
woman with small red eyes, and an ag­
gressively pointed chin.
“Well, I'm sure," she began angrily,
“so you’re late again. Don't know what
you mean by it. I’ve had the kettle on
the hob since 5. And this is all the
thanks as I get.”
“I’m sorry." said Huxtable slowly,
