PONDEROUS PERSONAGES.
Nero.
(My George I’itch..
.Nero whs a human being who
disguised the fact more success
fully than any other historical
personage. Ih* was horn 1870
years ago, but the fact isn't cele
brated anywhere. He was edu
cated by a private tutor and was
adopted by the Roman emperor
Claudius, who soon died, as most
of the Roman emperors did. and
| left the throne to Nero,
j Nero was at this time a liand
jsome youth who could fiddle pret
11y well and was very popular so
jeially. He started out with the
: intention of being a good emper
or, but this fact soon slipped his
{mind and tie poisoned his mother.
I Agrippina, who was something of
ia politician herself, and began
ilo run the empire alone.
It was Hie wildest joy ride that
any nation ever experienced. Ne
ro slept days and raised thunder
i nights. His morals were so had
that .even the Romans were shock
ed At I hem, and lie was so
haughty and disagreeable that his
executioners had Io work in •four
hour shifts. Nero soon became
the most fatal disease in Rome.
Any one who failed to please him
; was at once exterminated. If he
was an enemy lie was boiled alive.
If he was a personal friend he was
beheaded as a favor.' Pleasing
Nero soon became the popular
Roman pastime and the losers
Were collected by the coroner.
Nero spent all the mniieiy in
I lie treasury on tin* Roman eipiiv
alent for chorus girls and let them
j run the nation. He was so reck
less that one night when a fuse
burned out while lie was at a
slumming parly lie burned I no
city of Killin' l" provide light, and
lidiMwd while Ihe liremen worked.
He had a great hatred of Chris
tians and considered no day well
spoilt unless he had wrapped up
a few hundred .of I hem. in skins
soaked in pilch and sel lire I"
them. Nero gave more than one
garden party at which Ihe illum
inations were furnished by burn
ing Christians. This was the or
igin of Ihe ornamental street
lighting idea now so popular.
Ngru might have lived lo a
great old age. bill il soon became
evident that both Nero and Ihe
Homans couldn't survive. The
supply of the taller was rapidly
becoming exhausted. So a few
plots were started .and dually Ne
ro discovered I lull unless some
thing was done quickly he would
he cm into hits and distributed
to the populace. He did Ihe
something himself with a sword
and len minutes afterwards life
insurance rales in Rumen went
down 90 per cent.
There is no lesson lo he learn
ed from Nero, because 'outside ol
the few humans who sell poisons
for medicine and work lillle chil
dren lo death in their mills we
have none of his sort left.
