 lucrezia soraia Not All Bad. And take notice how history has picked up Lucrezia Borgia and held her up as the monster of that age. History has committed a great wrong. started out on Lucrezia's trail feel ing that hanging was too good for her, but as l traced her career step by step I had to leave prejudice behind As a child she wouldn't hurt fly. The sight of bulldog picking up a cat by the neck would have thrown her into convuisioDs.
 As girl Miss Lucrezia was consid- crate of other peoples feelings 10 wonderful degree. Had a young man with pimple on his nose been court ing her she would have died before asking him why be didn't have il shaved of. She was a fayorite in SO ciety. She always sat down on the edge of a chair and folded her hands and replied Yes, ma'am,' and No, ma'am.' and she knew nothing what ever about filtration.
 Tt was only when Miss L. E. has become q young woman and discov- cred that her relatives were plotting to rob her of her inheritance and send her out to work in a sweatshop at & week that she turned to poison. She dosed the family right and left. and when she saw what good thing it was she began to give it to outsiders. You may say il was naughty, but what was the poor girl to do?
 Tt is pretty well authenticated that the charming Miss Borgia poisoned of fourteen different people before the doctors got on to the trick. but I feel assured that each and every one of the victims ought to have died with con sumption if not that way. And. be sides, they had large and liberal flu neral processions, and the cost of their tombstones was immense.
 And then, too. it was time when everybody was poisoning everybody else. They weren't using the shotgun or the baseball bat. but inviting
 friend to drink . glass of claret with
 them and then drop dead on the door step while waiting for the taxi to ap- pear If Miss Borgia hadn't got ahead of the game 1t would have got ahead of her. and there you are. trust that ere I appear in Huckieberry Hiii again there will be a female baby born and that it will bear the name of Lucrezia-
 Squars Dsai For Cyrus II.
 And let us for a moment take up the case of King Cyrus IL According to history. nothing pleased him more than to fling GOO or 800 people over a precipice or to tie half a thousand innocent children to the tails of wild horses. It Is asserted that in one day. with his own hand. he stabbed 250 captives to death. and the very day, to change sthe program. he buried the same number alive. When Cyrus was in merry mood. as the historians tell us, he Topped of the arms of fifty captives and set them to climbing trees and turning handsprings- If he got up in the morning with a rocky feeling 100 prisoners lost their heads to make him feel better.
 My huckleberry friends of Huckie- berry Hill. don't believe all you read about Cyrus. Don't believe half of
 1t He was pretty hard case. but there was a good excuse for it Wo- man again Married girl who pre- tended to think the world of him and then ran away with circus bare back rider. Never even stopped to shut the henhouse door or feed the cat before she went She just drove
 that man into being what he was.
 Every time he Topped oil 500 heads he
 thought of her. Every time he topped
 off feet he thought of that bareback
 rider. You or I would have done the
 same. Name your boys Nero. If you
 haven't got any boy babies then name
 your dogs after him Give everybody

 have passed away. It will cost noth-

 ever badness, but there is ever a good
