THE WORLD'S GREAT EVENTS ALBERT PAYSON TERHUN* <® *>y Dodd, M««d a Comgitgr.J Nero A nBD-HKADED boy, seareeJy more than a child In'years, handsome and gorgeously dressed, stood receiving the humble salutations of the Roman senate one day tn (11 A. D. Nearby, forgotten and unnoticed, stood a plainly attired lad. The red-headed youth was Nero, newly adopted son of his great-uncle, Claudius, emperor of Rome. The other boy was Brit an ulcus, only son of Claudius and rightful heir to the throne. The strange muddling of the two lads' true positions was due to Nero's mother, Agrlpptna. Nero was grandnephew of Oaud'xts. He was brought up as a child In poverty and neglect But when weak, vacillating old Claudius mounted the throne, Agrlpptna won the emperor's half-Imbecile affections and persuaded him to divorce his first wife and uarry her. She then promptly poisoned the deposed wife and concentrated all her #llee into cajoling Claudius to declare Nero his heir Instead of Brltannlcus. Having Induced the emperor to make such public pledge and to compel the senate to accept Nero as future emperor, Agripplna poisoned Qaudtos and declared the sixteen-year-old Nero emperor. Later Brltannlcus was also Killed to make the new ruler's claims more secure. The first five years of the young monarch's reign were ideal. Guided by his mother, he made kind and righteous laws, conciliating the people and the army, and giving promise of a golden era for Rome. Nero, coached Cleverly by his crafty old tutor, Seneca, showed forth only the lovable, kindly side of his nature; his violent temper selfishness and evil propensities belli? wisely curbed. He was looked on a model sovereign. But as time passed he grew impatient at bis mothetV stern rule and longed to be absolute master. Her guidance irritated him The two clashed repeatedly, and at last Nero proved himself Agripplna's true son as well as an instrument of "poetic Justice" by having his mother assassinated. Now, freed from all restraint, the man's true character asserted itself He plunged into wild excesses, per forming In the arena as a common charioteer, declaring himself the fore most singer and poet of the world, and treating the populace to original songs and plays. When any sought to check h)s mad whims he wasted little time or scruple In arranging for the offender's death. His wife. Octavla, WM thus put out of the way. as In time were Beneca and othar famous Romans. He had married an unscrupulous patrician woman, Pvippes by name, divorcing her from Otho, her first husband, who later amply avenged himself for the outrage. Poppen urged Nero on to frasR crimes and dissipations, until at last he had so far exhausted every pleasure as to yearn for SO toe absolutely new sensation. It was then thst the Idea occurred to him to set fire to Rome and to compose a grand epic Mag upon its destruction. He followed out this barbarous plan with sach success that thiae fdurths of the city was soon in ashes. The people, who had patiently borne his former caprices, were furious at this wanton cruelty.

Recently a man came to town to visit his brother. "What barter shop do you patronize ?" he asked upon his arrival. The brother told him, saying, the man on the Becond chair is the best barber in the shop, but you will have to write out what you want him to do as he is deaf and dumb." The brother went into the shop, wrote, out instructions, handed it to the barber and climbed into the chair. When the work was about half through, some man poked his head in the door and asked the barber to go somewhere with him. "I win," replied the barber, "just as soon as I finish work on this dummy." --Chas. Sessions in Topeka Capitol. He declared that the Christiana had aet firs to the city, and, by wsy «f punishment, murdered them by hundred*. hoping thus to shift the blame of the conflagration from his own guilty shoulders, ft had always been Rome's policy to respect the religions of her conquered provinces, thereby prettying the people of such lands and averting religious uprisings. But Nero •aw no need for following out this plan as regarded the Christians. They were a sect of poor, uninfluentlal folk, representing no land, and thus presenting no dangers. of a possible Insurrection. They had no mortal ruler nor Kingdom; no opportunity to retaliate for wrongs done them. Their creed also commanded forgiveness at injuries and forbade vengeance. Thus they were safe victims for the imperial despot But, by the very tortures and oppressions to which he subjected its believers the new faith endured and gained strength. The blood of Its martyrs, the sufferings of Its followers served only to fan its early, feeble spark into a light that was destined to Illumine the whole world; until the once despised and crushed religion wholly superseded the Roman heathenism that had sought to destroy it, and made its center of government, by a strange irony of fate. In the very city where .its first terrible persecutlona had been enacted. Nero's course was well-nigh run. la spite of his pretext thst the Christians had set Rome afire, the people grew to hate him. He murdered Poppea, and In a fit of remorse plunged Into newer crimes. Conspiracies and rebellions •prang up all over the empire. Otho •t last marched against the tyrant who had robbed him of his wife. With him was Galba, governor of Spain. Nero fled, and, seeing himself on the point of capture, committed suicide. Today he is chiefly remembered, not as poet or emperor, or even as debauchee, hut by reason of his sin against the Christians and for the miraculous effect of his Insane, futile effort to efface them from the earth.
