"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
By JAMES c. YOUNG.
THE VAMPIRE WHO TRAINED A
TYRANT.


n NE of the most dangerous women
~ in the ancient world was Pop
paea Sabina, wife of Nero. Under her
tutelage he emerged from youth as
profiigate and tyrant. History shows
that before their meeting no other
Roman emperor ever had a better
chance of making good on his imperial
job, and none ever failed so miserably
When Nero came into power at the
age of seventeen Rome was just be-
coming acquainted with the luxury of
Greece and the Orient. But he had
been raised like Spartan by his
mother Agrippina, VITO made him en-
peror almost single handed. The rig
orous discipline of his mother pre-
sumably should have made Nero a
brave, simple-living man, like the Ro-
mans of old. Instead, he quickly
turned to luxurious ways of life. Then
he met and loved Acte, an Asiatic
woman. Agrippina forbade him to
carry on the affair. Nero baked. He
was emperor and not a mere boy any
more.
The love affair with Acte estranged
Nero and his wife, Octavia, whom he
had married as matter of statecraft
Then he fell under the sway of Pop
paea Sabina and quickly abandoned
/Acte. Poppaea also was married, but
as mistress to Nero she chided him
for subsection to his mother Nero
lost his head and set about doing
whatever Poppaea bid. She was older
than he, but beautiful and seductive
vampire in very truth. And she meant
to make herself empress. Agrippina
stood in the way, and Poppaea lost no
chance to rub salt upon the wounds
In Nero's pride. Her promptings led
him to his first and perhaps his great
est crime, the murder of his own moth
er. When this deed had been done,
Octavia still remained. But not for
long. She was banished, then muir
dered. Poppaea became empress.
Nero, a prey to excuses of every
Kind, began to verge upon madness.
He had many of the most prominent
men executed, including even Seneca
the philosopher and tutor of his child
hood. Then Rome was burned and
fhe whole of the ancient world whis-
pered that Nero had fired IL. The en-
peror began reconstruction on a grand
scale and actually accomplished much
in that way. But his race was run.
His last supporters fell away, and
one night the praetorian guard de-
serted its post, leaving the palace I'M
guarded. Nero crept away in the
darkness, alone. The senate met and
forfeited his life, when he committed
suicide, at the age of thirty-one
1t was not Poppaea who laid him
at rest, but the gentle Acte, who alone
claimed his body.

NIGHT AT CHEROKEE

The Hull local of the American So
ciety of Equity held a meeting last
evening in Cherokee hall. at which
Charles Aderhold gave report of
the business transacted at the quar-
terly convention of the society held
recently at Hatley. He explained the
dairy marketing plans presented by
Jos, Kremsreiter at the convention.
\ w. J. Rogan. county agent. discussed
general cooperative plans citing in
stances to show that IL was absolutely
essential 10 the development of agri-
cultural interests that cooperation
AMONG farmers be solicited. He said
! that Without active cooperation of
all farmers only partial success can
be attained. The Equity has played an
important part in developing co-opera-
tive organizations in the state, being
based on right principles and had
lfunctioned properly
/ He cited instances of his own expe-
riences and those of others, notably
George McKerrow who has been Sc
lected 10 superintend the cooperative
live stock shipments In the south st.
Paul yards, Mr.. Mckerrow has al
ready received applications from some
\ OF the leading commission men for
positions under him. Mr.. Rogan gave
this example as an indication that CO.
operative organizations have come TO
stay since thinking men are recogniz-
ing the fact. Because some organiEa-
tons have failed in the past is no eri-
terion that II will not be success
IN the future. An interesting discus

CITY TEAMS
WON SUNDAY
COUNTY OFFICIALS LOSE IN
SEVENTH SCHOFIELD
SHUT OUT

Wausau came into it's own last Sun
day when both teams representing the
city were able to down their old time
antagonists. The game between the
city and county officials started al
1870 and was an uphill affair for both
sides. The County dads got an edge
on the city tribe when they scored one
run in the first inning, two in the Sec
ond and two more in the third.
Score Runs
Before his side went to bat in the
third, Carl Adams, who managed the
city team, talked to his men "by
hand" and before the excitement of
that round ended the city representa-
tives scored three runs. The county
men also got two more in their half
of the fourth, added one more in the
fifth and four in the sixth. The
city team got five in the fourth three
in the fifth and two in the sixth when
the game was called, the final score
being IL to Is in favor of the city.
Between innings in this game and
the one that followed the 128th regi-
mental band supplied music much to
The enjoyment of the fans present.

The regular Wausau team was in it's
usual fine form after regaining from

box for Wausau and with the assist

second base all during the game.
Wausau got one run in the second
inning three in the fifth and another

time his last trip came was absolute

He told his passengers. two ladies,
that on no account were they to speak

they must keep silent
Up they went, and the airman quite
enjoyed himself. He Topped the loop
and practiced all sort of stunts to his
own satisfaction with no interruption
from his passengers until he felt a
touch on his arm.
"What is it?' he said impatiently.
I'm so sorry to trouble you," said
a voice behind, ''and know oughtn't

Joke on Him.

The bride and groem, followed by
the usual shower of old shoes and
rice, boarded the train. The travel
ing man across the aisle enjoyed the
fun to his hearts content.
After the train started, the groom
tried to clean up the rubbish left by
the merrymakers. He opened the win
dow and threw out the old shoes and
rubbish. The travelling man was so
amused that he forgot that he was
sitting there in his stocking feet.
Later he came to his senses and
then he found that the groom had mis-
taker. the only pair of shoes the travel
Ing man had with him for some that
the merrymakers had left.

FIVE WOMEN ASK
HUNTING LICENSES

Up in Lincoln county there is one
woman to every ten men who has
imbued in her the great spirit that
calls her into the open to hunt
Only five women thus far obtained

The five to whom licenses have
been issued are:
Mrs. Ida NJ Boslough
Mrs. Emma Lehrbas
Ella A. Larson
Mrs. Anna Toburen
Mrs. Norman Wren
Along with many others we can't
quite understand why the only
women applying for licenses are
from the city of Wausau. How
ever mot all the women who will
hunt have yet applied" is the mes
sage we get from Mr.. Kuhlmann.

Nation Loyal, First to Itself;
Pictured BY President Harding
In His Memorial Day Address at Arlington Chief Exec
utiue Says American Heroes of All Wars Ac-
comphshed More Than They Sought

A nation loyal first or all to itself.
but never failing to measure up to
the demands of an advancing civ
ilization, was pictured by President
Harding as an American ideal yes
terday in a Memorial day address at
Arlington national cemetery.
American heroes of every war. the
President said. had accomplished far
more than the immediate ends for
which they fought because they had
helped erect and preserve a shrine
for the liberty loving of every race.
He declared the whole mission of
America would become an unrealiZed
dream if this heritage ever We're
sacrificed.
"Our country" said Mr.. Harding.
has never failed to measure up to
the demands presented to it in be-
half of humanity. and it never will.
When it ceases to meet these drafts
it will no longer be our country; it
will be. if that time ever comes. the
wretched and decaying memorial of
another civilization that has crum-
bled. of another ideal which has
failed. of another ambition for men S
happiness which has somehow gone
aWry."
In equally emphatic language the
President asserted his conviction
that this duty to civilization could
he accomplished only if the nation
took care first of it's own integrity.
"I counsel no selfishnesS, he said.
mo little Americanism. no more
parochi ialiSm, when l urge that our
first duty is to our own. and that in
the measure of its performance we
will find the tue gauge of our ca
pacity to be helpful to Others"
The text of the Presidents address
follows:
Text Of Presidents Address.
I'VE are met on sacred soil today,
for a solemn hour of sacrament and
conservation. But the soil whence we
come is itself sanctified through the
sacrifices of those who lie here.
Wherever our flag flies. within the
boundaries of the republic. it is over
lands whose freedom and security
have been wrought through these
sacrifices.
1T is the privilege of this company
to utter our tribute of love and graft

in the sight of the National Capital.
But others, no less devout, will as
lands, under foreign skies and among
alien peoples. to pay like tribute of
love and memory. There are no re-
stricted boundaries to the reverence
of this day. There is no discordant
note in the hymn of gratitude. With
old wounds healed and a new genera

patriotism there is no sectionalism in
our memorial. Above the murmurings
OF grief is the swelling concord of
union, and the dominant note is our
faith in the republic.
