was adopted by the Roman emperor
Claudius, who soon died. as most of the
Roman emperOrs did, and left the throne
to Nero.
Nero was at this time a handsome
youth who could fiddle pretty well and
was very popular socially. He started
out with the intention of being a goo+
emperor, but this fact soon slipped his
mind and he poisoned his mother, Agrip-
pima, who was something of a politician
herself, and began to run the empire
alone.
1t was the widest ioy ride that anv
nation ever experienced. Nero slept DAYS
and raised thunder nights His morals
were so bad that even the Romans we're
shocked at them, and he was so naughty
and dIsagreeable that his executioners
had to work in four-hOur shifts. Nero
soon became the most fatal disease in
Rome. Anyone who failed to please
him was at once eXterminated. If he
was an enemy he was boiled alive. IF
he was a personal friend he was be-
headed as a favor. Pleasing Nero soon

me and always made me think he liked
me. Some time ago he left the city,
and has been writing to me. The other
night I met one of his chums, who told
me that he was corresponding with
several other girls Pearl.

right to correspond with other girls,
