almost beyond comprehension how an

There is an authentic tale told in
connection with a figure at one Of the
extreme corners of the cemetery,
where an old woman, reaching nearly
her hundredth year, is standing with
basket OF violets at her side. This
woman, during her long and weary
life, had spent many years in supply
ing Genoa's elite with violets, and
wealthy people of the city subscribed
funds to give her a place OF honor
in which to rest near those whom she
80 faithfully had served daily In her
small way. The dress, with it's shabby
bonnet to match, Is characteristic of
her days on earth, and the Violets in
her hand seem genuine enough to
pluck.

This branch Of operations had been

The Introduction OF pyrotechnics
