NERO, THE wH1TEwAsHER.

ingly, so long as you give. A liberal
spirit on your part will still further en-
courage me, but If there is one single
knockkneed, slab sided son of father
in this audience who conscientiously
feels that L ought to be sat down on,
then let him hang on to his nickel. The
collection Is finished and the proceeds
counted. The $50 enlightened and cul-
tivated people before me have Clipped
in about half cent apiece, and my
labors can be continued in other fields.
My dear people, want to say few
words to you this evening about the
badness of human nature. 1t is easy
to be bad. There is also a good deal
of fun in 1t. 1t is the bad man who has
a fur lined overcoat in winter, a duck
suit in summer and champagne and
ice cream in the intervals. AS l turn
the stereopticon light on the canvas
you behold the picture of Nero. Up
TO the age Of "a he was good man.
While other young men were off TO the
circus or races he was at home helping
his mother cut carpet rags or white
wash the cellar. He retired to his
couch at o'clock at night instead of
'whooping things up at the Tivoli. He
rose with the lark, and he rose without
a head on him, no swearing, no smok-
ing, no drinking-just goodness. One
day, after young Nero had been saw
Eng cord OF hickory wood In two, he
sat down to rest his back and figure a
bit. The result was that he decided
10 make a change. He had come to the
conclusion that goodness didn't pay.
That's where he made mistake
weighing ton, as all the world knows.
History has told you his career. He
walked right into the house as a first
move and kicked over the churn and
upset the -four barrel and then de-
manded a quarter of his ast0:lished
mother and went of on spree. From
that day on he was cuss on wheels.
he painted the old town red every
might in the week and got up next
day to paint her blue. His mother died
of broken heart, and he sold her fat
irons and quilt frames to bet on a
chariot race His father was found
dead with tears in his eyes, and young
Nero sold OF the chickens and pigs and
the old homestead to back a gladiator.
There was no holding him down except
when the Roman constables sat on
him. He became a sort Of holy terror
] to the whole Roman empire, and when
he finally died there was such general
satisfaction that the factory whistles
footed and the wages of the hired girls
were advanced dollar a month.
During his career Nero swan in
champagne, reyeled in quail on toast
and wore the best toga in the empire.
Ne had money in every pocket, admir-
ers on every corner, and high rolled to
beat the band. And yet what did it all
amount TOT He died poor and disgrace
ed, and history hasn't got through
abusing him yet. He had traded of
IN orange grove for a cabbage patch.
I say to you all, and I say to that
eQuint eyed, lantern jawed man in the
third row in particular, that whoever
figures that badness is a good invest
iment is going to get left. 1t is full of

Boiled Salt Meats.

The indigestible properties Of boiled
ham, corned beef and other salt meats
may, according to Mrs. Parloa, the
cooking expert, be eliminated If the
meat Is sufficiently boiled. The salt
toughens the fbers, and 1t takes per-
sistent boiling to overcome this. The
time allowed for ten pound piece is
five hours. but as the pieces are apt to
be thick rather than long one Of half
this weight would need about the same
amount Of time. The meat should be
partly cooled in the water in which it
is boiled.

Moral Of the GARDEN

Nothing teaches patience like a gar
den. You may go round and watch the
opening bud from day to day, but it
takes its own time, and you cannot
urge it on faster than it will. If forced,
1t is only torn to pieces. All the best
results of a garden, like those of life,
are slowly but regularly progressive

dunn Of whispers among the band or
from the stalls, known all that the
original messenger Of evil had to tell.
"The late Rev. G. n. Spurgeon once
told me that he had known this same
thing precisely to occur during the
course of a religious service, and when
a vast congregation were on their
