Joseph Charles Louis, archduke of
Austria and royal prince of Hungary,
was born at PressbOurge. Hungary,
March 9, 1893. He had always been
| known as the Hungarian archduke"
ard was deeply loved by the Hungarian
people.
Archduke Joseph was a son of the
last but one Palatin OF Hungary. His
bOyhOOd was passed with peasant boys
as his playfnates and companions. This
system of education awakened i'm him
an interest in and appreciation of the
people which was evidenced all his life.
In 1874! Archduke Joseph entered his
fathers Hussar regiment and began his
experience of active service. In 1856 his
regiment returned home, where it re-
manned for four years. In 1860, however,
ana until 1864, the regiment was in
Italy and the archduke was present at
several of tho important battles of
those troubled times. Returning from
the wars Joseph was made commander
in-chief of the Hungarian "Honved"
when this reserve army was reOrgan-
lied and he held this post until his
death. He did splendid work in devel-
oping and improving this body of
troops. The archduke became interest
ed also in the firemen organizations of
Hungary and devoted much time to
their reorganization and Improvement.
Joseph did much, or tried to do
much, for the gypsies of Hungary
OF the Drincely munificence of the
late archduke the island of st. Marga-

This island of the Danube, between the
cities of Buda and Pest was given by
the two municipalities to the father of
Archduke Joseph. 1t was originally an
ARID, uninviting sandy island, large but
useless and ugly. Archduke Joseph
turned il into one of the most beau
tiful city parks in the world and gave
it to Budapest.
To the memory of Il son to come to
his death through n shooting accident
the archduke and his wife, Princess
Clotilde of SaXeburg and Gothic, ded-
icated an institution for the care Of
crippled children.
Always a man Of deep feeling ana
few words, Archduke Joseph did not
complain of the death Of this son and
the loss of another grownup child, last
year, was particularly hard for the
aged man to bear. He never recovered
from the sorrow of this bereavement

Joseph WAS the only archduke, who
on public occasions WAS greeted in

according to the court regulations,
should have been played i'm his honor.

was a most convincing proof of the love
