AFTER 400 YEARS
A Monument Is Erected In Florence to
One of Italy's Great sculptors.

A Monument Is Erected In Florence to
One of Italy's Great sculptors.
Benvenuto Cellini, to whom after q
lapse of 400 years monument has
been erected in his native city of Flor
ence, Italy, was a restless child of
genius. He was a gold worker and
sculptor Of merit. but his quarrelsome
disposition and impotuous passions led
him into excesses, to escape the results
of which he was forced to spend his
time variously at Rome, Florence and
other Italian cities.
Cellini was intended by his father
for musical profession, but he early
rebelled against this arrangement and
became goldsmith's apprentice A
duel. fought at the early age of 16.
sent him an exile from Florence and
after some vicissitudes he reached
Rome. where he secured a position at
the court of Pope Clement VII. as an
engraver. During his stay here Rome
was besieged by Constable Bourbon
and the Prince OF Orange in one of the
many petty wars that then agitated
Italy and Cellini. according to his own
account, took part in the defense Of
the famous Castle of St. Angelo and
killed the two named leaders of the be-
sieging forces. From Rome Cellini re-
turned to Florence, from which he
was soon again fugitive on account
of another quarrel, and he returned
to Rome. Rome soon became too hot
for him and Cellini went to France
Subsequently he returned to Florence
and there under the patronage Of the
grand duke, Cosmo de Medici, he pro-
duced his famous sculpture. Perseus
and Medusa. which has handed down
his name to Immortality. Among Gel
lini's best artistic works are embossed
decorations of shields, cups, orna-
mented sword and dagger hilts, medals
and coins. Had his life partaken less
of the stormy and plotting times In
which he lived his labors would have
been far greater. He died in 1870 in
the 10th year Of his age and Is inferred

cease. Graves. confident in the infiu-
ence of Margaret's fathers will, did
not press his suit Immediately. To-
ward the end of year, however, he
became urgent and date for their
wedding was set Then Margaret
was taken sick and for time. racked
with fever, hovered between life and
death. Both lovers were equally So
licitous for her. and when finally she
recovered the struggle between love
and duty became even more intense
than before. Not able to bear the
strain. she summoned both lovers be-
