HUMAN CURIOS
Tho Groom Who Became a Baro,

Perhaps no man of modern times has
passed more varied and romantic life
than Thomas Ward, who commenced life
as stable boy and who later became
famous as a statesman. the intimate of
Kings and the player Of a prominent role
at the court Of Parma.
Ward, who was born at Yorkshire IN
1910, entered the service of Prince Licht-
enstein Of Hungary at an early age, and
soon made name for himself as a
jockey In Vienna. In 1886 he was made
master OF the horse at the court Of the
Duke Of Lucca, proving his efficiency by
reducing expenses more than so per cent
because of which proof Of his ability
he was sent to Florence on a confidential
mission of the highest Importance in
l84S. But shortly afterward the duke 6
rule was terminated by revolution and
Ward became an active agent Of Austria
recovering the hereditary estates OF
Parma and Placentia. AS n reward, he
was made prime minister, and sent as
an envoy, first to Vienna and later to st.
Petersburg. After the assassination OF
the youthful Charles III, whom the
baron had placid upon the throne oi
and took to agricultural pursuits In Aus
tria. His contemporaries bear witness
to the fact that, while he spoke French
German and Italian with fluency and al
most without accent. the moment he
lapsed into English he gave evidence OF
his early lack Of culture, for he dropped
his "h's" as badly as any cockney.
When he died, carrying with him
| many secrets connected with the leading
| families of Europe, this man who started
as a stable boy bore no less than nine
teen distinguished titles, among Their
several conferred by the reigning houses
of Austria. Germany and Russia.
