were those of Cnlpunlus Plso Liclni-

proclaimed Caesar by the Emperor
Galbra. -Four days afterward Galbra
was killed. and Piso also suffered
death In his thlrty-nrst year. His were

The precious urn was given to a
workman employed on the premises to

the proprietor of the place asked for
the urn. he found 1t empty. where"
said he, "are the ashes that We're
hereY The workman, surprised, said
that he gathered them together and,
never dreaming that they were any
