put down the Hungarian revolt.

current at the time, shot an actress to

A Democratic Rfilar.
The bead of one of tbe oldest reign
ing families and master of the most
conventional of continental courts.
Francis Joseph, while never relaxing
his Imperial dignity, was still the most
democratic and kindest hearted of
kings. Every year on Maundy Thurs
day the emperor showed his humility
by following the example of Christ in
washing the feet of bis disciples.
Twelve old men. paupers -ah, were
brought to the palace on the Thursday
before Easter, and the^arfced emperor
personally served them with food and
drink, then, attended by high military
and church officials, proceeded to each
old man in turn, wet his feet, dried
them and dismissed them with gifts.
Stern but kind ruler of a turbulent
realm, a king made human by suffer
ing* with all his faults he deserres the
eulogy Mark Antony pronounced over
tbe corpse of Brutus, "The elements
were so mixed In him that Nature
might stand np and say- to all the
world. This was a man."
During the Balkan yar crista tbe
aged emperor's rolco was constantly
for peer*, and it waa no donbt due In
great degree to his Influence that an
Knrope was not plunged into war.
