HIS LIFE NOT HAPPY.
Archduke Karl of Austria Exists in
Splendid Misery.
Little BOY who May become EmDer-
or ana King Is Deprived of All
the Pleasures and sports
of Childhood.

Owing to a combination of extraor-
binary circumstances, it is highly
probable that after the death of EN-
peror Francis Joseph, neither his heir
presumptiye, Archduke Francis Ferd-
inand, nor Archbishop Otto, who
stands second in the line of success
sion, will ascend the throne, but that
the crown of Austria-Hungary will
pass to Archduke Karl, now a boy
10 years of age.
