after months debate, the Buda-Pesth
Parliament formally acknowledged
Frank Ferdinand as the heir apparent
to the crown of St. Stephen and recog-
nized the right of his wife to share
with him the Hungarian throne.
1t is only since the birth of her son,
Macmillan, that the Princess has
come from the seclusion in which she
lived for a few years after her mar
riage. Now she deems it necessary,
if she would win her point, to place
herself as prominently as good taste
will permit her before the public She
is not finding it necessary to concil-
late Hungary, as her position there is
unquestiOned, the Hungarians having
declared that they ignore the meaning
of a morganatic wife. There the Kings
wife will be Queen, and, residing in
the castle of Buda, she will receive the
nobility with her husband
The Princess, now past 40, is a far
more beautiful woman than she was ut
the time of her marriage, when she
held no claim to beauty. From a thin,
pale girl she has blossomed out into a
well-rounded, attractive woman, who
will command her rightful share of at
tention, and who seems in a fair way
to get it. She is an ideal mother, and
spends a great deal of time and
thought on the upbringing of her chill
dren. Her little daughter, Sophie, is a
beauty, and the boys are veritable
Kings in embryo.
Certain it is that the old Emperor is
rapidly nearing the great goal That
the Princess has a hard fight ahead of
her yet is also certain. But with the
future of the little Macmillan at
heart, with the sympathy Of the Hun
3arians to serve as sort of anchor
to her hopes, and with an unlimited
amount of perseverance, Princess So
phie of Hohenberg stands a good
chance of winning her fight and achiev-
ing a throne for herself and her de-
scendants.

for the loved on yonder shore!
Fain would we shun the memory that
to that conflict clings,
But mothers thoughts are in the past,
and brokenly she sings:
Many are the hearts that are weary to-
night,
Waiting for the war to cease,
Many are the hearts that are looking to
the right,
Looking to the dawn of peace.
So when you bring your garlands for the
nations dead to-day
Strew alike the fragrant blossoms DER the
graves of Blue and Gray,
Never foes more brave were vanquished
by brave conquerors before.
They were brothers e'er the conflict, they
are brothers now once more;
The dawn of peace has frightened till it
glows in perfect day,
The bands of love have frightened till the
nation owns her sway
From sea to sea across the land, the flags
of freedom fling
From north and south, united, let the
song of triumph ring:
My country, it's of thee, sweet land of
liberty;
Of thee I sing;
Land where my father died, land of the
pilgrims pride.
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring.

woman IS fighting single-handed
for the right to share one Of the proud
est thrones in Europe.
Her motive is mother love. Her
weapons are tact, beauty, personal
charm She is ambitious not for her
self, but for her little son.
The thrilling, silent battle being
waged by Princess Sophie of Hohen-
berg, morganitic wife of Archduke
Franz Ferdinand, heir-apparent to the
Austrian succession, is holding the at
tention of all the world. Arrayed
against her and entrenched in aristo-
cratic tradition is all the arrogance of
the Princes and Princesses of the in
perial house Of Hapsburg.
Hungary already has come out as
her champion. The Hungarian ParIia-
ment recently pronounced her claims
to the Hungarian throne valid and de-
clared that when Ferdinand became
King of Hungary she should reign as
his Queen. This question of deep po-
litical import is perturbing the states
men OF Austria and of Europe If
Austria refuses the throne to the wom-
an Hungary is ready to crown, Hun
gary may revolt What the possible
withdrawal of Hungary from its union
with Austria would mean is difficult to
prOphesy. Some of the contingencies
are disastrous war, battles, sieges,
death for hundreds of thousands, the
crumbllng forever of the ancient en-
pire that traces its history to the Gaze
sars, and a reimbursement of the map of
Europe.
The Princess Sophie has been gain
ing ground. Kaiser William openly
has espOused her cause. On his recent
visit to Vienna his manner toward her
was particularly cordial and he would
not allow her to be excluded from the
dinners given in his honor. He made
it clear that when she visited Berlin
she would be received as the future
Austrian Empress When Archduke
Ferdinand and his wife soon afterward
returned the Kaiser's visit, the Ger
man ruler attempted to carry out his
program. In way he was successful
but his program OF cordially and en-
cOuragement was marred slightly by
the Empress, who preserved a coldly
aloof attitude toward the aspiring Aus
trian Princess.
The attitude Of the German Empress
reflects that of the naughty royal wom-
en- of the Austrian court. A powerful
cabal against Princess Sophie at Wen
ma is headed by Archduchess Isabella
and the Archduchess Grizella, eldest
daughter of the present Emperor and
wife of Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria.
These Princesses and their feminine
allies are moving heaven and earth to
prevent Princess Sophie from estab-
fishing her right to the crown. If they
could have their way they would block
Prince Ferdinand's path to the throne
and crown his nephew, young Karl
Frank, son of Archduke Otto, in his
stead.
It was while lady-in-Waiting in the
train of the Archduchess Isabella that
Sophie's love affair with the Archduke
Ferdinand began and in the inception
of the romance is to be found the ori-
gin of the bitter feud the Archduchess
has waged against the younger woman.
Isabella planned that one of her daugh-
tiers should become the bride of Fer

His NTeSSnCe Went.

One day when the President was
with the troops who we're fighting at
the front the wounded, both Union and
Confederate, began to pour in. As
one stretcher was passing Lincoln he
heard the voice of a lad calling his
mother in agonizing tones Lincoln's
great heart filed. He forgot the crisis
of the moment He ordered the car
riers to stop. Kneeling and bending
over the wounded soldier, he asked,
What can I do for you, my boy?"
"Oh, you will do nothing for me, .
he replied. you are Yankee. I can't
hope that my message will ever reach
my mother"
Lincoln, in tears, his voice full of
tenderest love, convinced the lad of
his sincerity, and he gave his goodby
words without reserve. The president
directed them copied and ordered that
they be sent that night with a flag of
truce into the enemy's lines.

Debt Owed to Boys in Blue.

1t is, perhaps. difficult for many of
the present generation to appreciate
the nations obligations to the boys in
blue. But for them we should have
no union, and slavery would stain our
civilization. The nation can never re
pay the debt it owes to these brave
men. but it must never let the story
of their heroic deeds perish from the
annals of mankind or the memory of
the generations yet to come.

not prevent him from always mounting

rare elegance, holding in his only hand

about his shoulders, a strongly
