Show Franz Joseph LD Franz Josoph, emperor of Austria- Hungary is a tough old chap. He was , eighty-five years old on the 18th of last month and has been on the throne sixty-seven years. He began his reign by a war with Hungary; he has had plenty of wars since; he has had domestic sorrows tragic and terrible enough to break the 'ifr heart and courage of ninety out of every hundred men, but he bears up against everything and seems as full of fight as he was half a century ago. He is certainly "One of the real Auld stock." |
