Pauln Is a six footer. welKh 17"i pounds, Is remarkably 'iwed.v, and has been a tower of strength on the Purple and Gold eleven of two sea m ns. He played left end In lit!, and failed to return In lfop. This season he re turned to the Kanie with added wrtRht and developed an ability to hit tlie line, which litis placed him well up among the bet full hacks of the state. Many a time In his two years of play at Hellevue he has brought a crowd to Its feot cheering by Ills wonderfully sure, fierce tackllnir. . His election assures successful leadership for Hill, and Is gratifying tr players and sup porters alike. Kor an underclass man to occupy this prominent position Is very un usual, but Paulsen's nerve and ability as a player, his popularity among the players and undoubted qualities of leadership have marked him throughout the season as the coiiilmr captain. ProKpects are that he will lead a winning team.

The baokfleld will remain lnta t, not a backfleld mean leaves school, and every substitute of this year's team has announced his intention to be on hand next reason.

NO DAMAGL TO THE WIRES Horses lime n ll:ird Time end Anto mobiles nnd tVnkena Mlde All Hrrr the Dunn Town Pnvrmf nla. Farmers of Nrbraska. Kansas. Missouri and Iowa are rejo clnit over the first snow of the season, which comes at a Hood t nie and which Is most beneficial to the crops, especially to the winter wheat. Grain men say that nothing could be more timely for winter wheat than the present snow, which has spread a blanket of about four Inches over a larRe part ot the corn and wheat belt. The snow etarted to fall Sunday morning, and it has snowed continuously ever since, with Indications of still nioro snow. The fall was not accompanied by any wind nor was It of a sleety nature and, consequently, did not bring any damage to the bin service corporations with their wires and tracks. Fearing that the snow storm may con tinue all day and trouble then surely would occur, the street railway company and telephone and llijht companies are mak n preparations. It wns reported Monday morning that trncks and wires were unim paired and apparently In no danger of damage through the storm, but that If the fall continued all day snow banked trucks and Blippery rails would prove a bother some condition. Sweepers and snow plows are being held In readiness for a qu.ck start In case a blockade shall take place. It Is gener ally deolared the snow is too light to causa any damage to the overhead wires. Woman Loses Wleh. The snow also caused one of the young women appearing at the Gayety this week to lose a valuable gold watch, which had been handed down to her as an heirloom of the family. It was a small Swiss move ment Engl.sh watch and hud the Initials A. E. M. As a bevy of the young women of the Knickerbockers were enroute from their hotol to the theater they engaged In a snowballing contest and this is the sport which cost the young woman her watch. A liberal reward is offered for its return. Horses on cabs and transfer and baggage wagons had a hard time of it Sunday, as the snow made the pavements exceedingly slippery. Several large wagons were turned completely aroun in front of the Hen shaw, and a florist's horse fell on Kar nam, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. Returning un hour later the same horse fell again In the same place. Snow Blocks Golfers. Forty brave golfers who started out to play their annual Sunday game at the Field club Sunday morning were forced to give up when the majority of them had completed nine of the eighteen holes. "For about fifty or seventy yards you can see a ball perfectly well In a snow storm," declares Harry TownHend, who was one of the many who lost a ball. "Then It Just kind of disappears, and Its im possible to find 1t again."

After that vhe hung her clothesline In the basement like the rest of the neighbors. Nero became emperor when he was only 17 eats old. His early accession to the throne he owed entirely to his mother Agrlpplna, who thoughtfully poisoned the Emperor Claudius when It began to look as though the old man intended to deter dying until a later date than Nero had fixed his heart on. Any Roman emperor who fancied he was going to dio of old at:e could have been convicted "f softening of the brain In any court in Rome. Aftjr sit ting up several nights thinking hard the writer has been unable to remember a sin gle Roman emperor who died of old ans uncomplicated by toxolonical symptoms. Agrippina had married Claudius alter cre ating the proper vacancy by putting pto maines In his wife's soup, and then In duced the emperor to adopt Nero. Even at this early day Nero exhibited many evi dences that he would make a good Roman emperor. Besides playing the fiddle lie combined a taste for Greek art and mur der that held forth grt-at promise of fu ture usefulness to the Btate. Agrippina's I training had not been In vain, as Nero I showed by attempting to drown the old lady as soon aa he found himself on the throne. Although he failed In his first at-1 tempt, the earnest preparations he had made Indicated that the failure was not the fault of carelessness, lie was deeply mortified at the slip, however, and for several days couldn't look his mother In the face, conscious that tie deserved re proach for his clumsiness alter all her patient lessons. Many and many a night had the noble widow tat up with her fatherless boy-at her knee, teaching him ids murder primer, and now at the very first attempt to carry out her precepts lie had made a coarse bungle of It. But did Nero give up, discouraged, as many a man would have done under the circumstances? No! With noble perseverance and pa tient, unwearied endeavor he followed his mother to her villa whence she had fled, surrounded the place with soldiers and had her successfully strangled In the night. It may not have been as artistic as his first plan, but, as Nero well re marked to Seneca the next morning, life Is short and art Is long. Flushed with this success Nero cast about to see whom he could practice on next and happened to think of his wife Octavla. Ho didn't have anything against her, but he was Just naturally tired of seeing her around. . And, anyway, Poppaea Sablna, a woman who lived across the street, did her hair much prettier, and Nero had rea son to believe that were Octavla out of the way she would let him come over and sit In the hammock. Once Poppaea had said coyly that If she got a chance she would like to push Octavla off the dock herself. She was Just crszy to be empress and wear a crown and have her head on tlie coin,1 which was a privilege" of the Roman empresses. ' Lots of people have tried to get ahead on the coin, and so per haps Poppaea is not to be blamed. After getting rid of Octavla, her brother, Britan nlcus, and others of his family who clut tered up the palace, Nero turned his at tention to oilier branches of art. He ap peared on the stage as an actor, competed In the public games, drove chariots, threw the discus and a number of other wres tlers who challenged him, and took down alt the garlands and cups that were of fered. It wasn't considered polite to win any trophies from Nero, and he was al ways sure of favorable notices In the papers. Any paper that failed to speak well of his acting could be purchased at a bargain the next morning. Ills extravagant way of living told on his purse after a while and he burned Rome down to get the Insurance. While the fire raged he sat on his front porch playing, "There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight" on his fiddle. They came to him the next morning and told him there was no money to rebuild the town witn. rsero thougnt seeply for a moment and then an Inspiration struck him. "Fine every country editor 10 sesterces who says In the next Issue of his paper that Rome will rise like a phoenix from Its ashes," he ordered. Thus Rome waa rebuilt more magnifi cently than before. Considering the riskiness of the Job It Is a matter for wonder now that any one should have desired to be a Roman em peror.

Ara- RHEUMATISM FUHIFYDIG THE BLOOD TILE ONLY PERMANENT CURE No case of Rheumatism wa9 ever cured except by a thorough purifica tion of the blood ; just as long as the blood remains charged with ferment ing uric acid poison, the painful dis ease will continue. The pains and aches of Rheumai'sra are simply su perficial effects of the impurities in the circulation, and sometimes may be temporarily relieved by the appli cation of plasters, liniments, hot cloths, etc. But the person who trifle9 with this dangerous disease by de pending on local treatment alone, is certain to pay for the mistake with constant suffering later on. S. S. S.. cures Rheumatism in the only way it is possible to cure the disease. It goes down into tha blood, and re moves the uric acid from the circula tion, so that the nerves, bones, mus cles and joints are lubricated and fed with nourish ing elements instead of being continually ir ritated and in flamed with the sharp, uratic Impurity. When S. S. S. has cleansed and purified the blood, the pains and aches cease, all inflammation isappe.-irs, stiffened muscles are made pliant, and every troublesome symptom ot Rheumatism is permanently corrected.
