hard at work in his behalf, and
strenuous effort will be made to de-

VERI /, the great Italian musician
and composer, died at his home in
Milan last Sunday, SO years of age.
His music, from frovatore, Ernani
and other operas, IS familiar to all
music lovers. Giuseppe Verdi was
born in Roncole, a little village near
Busseto, not very far from Parma,
Italy, Oct. IL, 1913. His farther was
an innkeeper and the keeper of
village store-humble and poor, but
in his condition, business-like and
prosperous. In the year 1914 the
village was sacked by an invading
army and much bloodshed occurred,
The story of the almost miraculous
escape OF the future musician is thus
told by his biographer:
The frightened women took ref
uge in the church-safe, as they be-
lived, near the image of the Virgin
until the soldiers forced the doors
and slew women and children until
the floor reeked in blood. One
wo man, infant at breast, fed to the
belfry and hid there, thus saving her
self and her child. The child was the
infant Verdi"
