The third doctor, after making me

After that I went back to the drug
store and told the clerk my troubles.

we have comeyto Jul senses we look
at one another with dumb eyes, and

A great, unspeakable horror that

Barely half an hour later we saw
another who had fallen into convul-

damp ditch waiting for the enemy, a
man suddenly jumped up, and shrek

at us from afar until he vanished
from cur sight in the rain. The
shrieking and running away had in

- And in the thick of this hurly-

lungs, amid these painting, red,
panic-stricken faces, the cloud Of

up in jets.
And again!
Explosions and screams, and the

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES
DON'T MARRY A TYRANT

The much domestic unhappiness of to-
day is nothing as compared with that of
ancient times At that period it was not
necessary to go to the divorce court and
the word "alimony" was not known. The
vile had no redress for inhdelity on the
part of the husband, and the husband
followed the constituencies system of
having his wife executed. At least thus
it was with Nero
Nero's first wife was Octavia. He tired
of her in a very short time and 70 davs
after he disposed of her married Pom
naea. seutonius tells us that he enter
tanned a great affection for her If such
was the case he showed it in a most un-
usual way for he killed her with a kick
because she found fault with him for re-
turning late when driving his chariot.
Nero was wont to take liberties which
ne denied the right of any one to ques-
ton, much less his wife, as Poppaea
found to her sorrow
When Nero was severely censured for
his treatment of the gentle Octavia, his
reply was: she ought to be satisfied with
the rank and appendages of my wife"
soon afterward he made several attempts
to strangle her, and not being able to ac-
complish 1t, he banished her. At last
however, he put her to death upon a
charge of adultery, SO impudent and false
that when all those who We're put to
the torture positively denied their knowl-
edge of it, he suborned his pedagogue,
Anicetus, to affirm that he had secretly
intrigued with her.
When Poppaea died he demanded the
hand of Antonia the daughte of Claudius
but she refused to marry him and under
pretext of being engaged in plot
against him. he put her to DEATH In
the same way he destroyed all who were
allied to him either by blood or marriage
Neros third matrimonial venture was
with Statilia Messalina, the great-grand
daughter of Taurus. To obtain possession
