.KAR0LYI CURSE
IS RECALLED IN
AUSTRIA'S BRIEF
Francis Joseph's Long Reign
in Dual Monarchy Brimful
of Tragic Happenings.

Upon the head of lonely old Fran
els Joseph Of Austria The Emperor
of Sorrows" his people affectionateIy
called him--rested two terrible cur ses
that darkened his long life and made
him look forward hopefully to the
end that brought relief
The Karolyi Curse, most terrible Of
the two, had been hurled into his
very face in the early years OF his
reign by a distracted Countess whose
only son had il'een put to death for
participation in the Hungarian revo-
luton.
Forcing herself into the presence
of the young ruler, who was then only
20 years old, the frantic woman,
shaking with emotion and torn by
passions, standing before the whole
court, screamed these words:
MAY Heaven and He'll blast your
happiness! May your family be ex-
terminated! May you be smitten in
the persons Of those you love best!
May your children be brought to ruin
and may your life be wrecked, and
yet may you live on in lonely, I'M
broken and horrible grief to tremble
when you recall the name of Ka-
rolyi!''
The face of the boy Emperor
;blanched and an awful hush came
over the assembled throng in the
great ba11oom of the palace in Wen
ma, where this scene is reputed to
have taken place. tf
Then the sobbing woman was led
away. She went into retirement and
died soon afterward, still mourning
her boy and still praying that her sor-
row might be visited upon him whom
she held responsible for it.
