Emperor Charles to Budapest and the
fiasco attending his attempt to regain
power has dashed whatever chance
may have existed for the restoration
of the monarchy, either In Hungary or
Austria. Monarchists reluctantly ad
mit that a restoration seems impossi
ble. This is not only due to the disap
pointment which naturally follows
failure but ns Hie details leak out
there is a touch of the absurd attach
ing to the whole adventure which has
reacted sharply against the former
emperor. It has also depressed the
legitimatists who. while not desiring
Charles to return, hoped for the future
restoration of the Hapsburgs in the
person of his son. The dramatic dec
laration of Charle- to his friends here

Hungary alive, was repeated in Buda

Gander Quits, Ox
Gives up Ghost
GREENSBORO, Ala., Mar. 31. The
blind ox, famous as the protege of a
stately gander on the J. A. Holcroft
plantation, near here, is dead and
those on the farm believe his death Is
due directly to enforced separation
from his guardian.
Recently It became necessary to
transfer the ox to another pasture.
The gander was unable to follow. The
separation was too much for the ox
and he pined and drooped, refused
food and drink, and finally laid down
and died.
The ox and gander lately attracted
widespread attention by their strong
companionship. Each day at regular
Intervals the gander would lead the
ox to water by strutting ahead of him
hoqklng loudly bo that bis afflicted
ward could follow the sound. If other
cattle approached, th fowl would fly
furiously at them and drive the Intru
ders out of range.

According to Dr. Haupt, the an
