SWEPT AWAY THE MO0RS.
Grimaldi Saved Monaco and Was Made
Ruler Of the Tiny Land.

NNs0V o. SSSO sUVy e0VNs
Did you ever hear Of the most dis.
tinguished Of the Grimaldi family, not
the Genoese general who remained at
home and fought for his own country.
nor yet the artist who did heroic stunts
on canvas. nor the sixteenth century
Grimaldi who died by the hand Of an
assassin in the palace at Monaco. but
the tenth century ancestor Of that
prince who saved Monaco from the
Moors? His was an achievement
worthy Of a true soldier Of fortune.
The tiny municipality. perched on its
seagirt cliff had been settled by the
Greeks even before Athens became the
greatest city of the civilized world. It
was one of the cultural outposts Of
Rome. and in the fifth century it was
an important center Of Christianity.
tn the Moors crossed the Mediter-
ranean, extended their sway over Spain
and seized the ancient Heculis Monoeci
Portus and gave over it's churches and
monasterics to the infidels. For 200
years they defied the soldiers of Eu-
rope, and then Grimaldi came. There
had been many wars in Genoa, and
here was chance for a Genoese cap
tain.
When his military genius had driven
the Moors into the sea. he was re-
warded hS being made absolute mon
arch of country f1fty-three miles In
circumference.-St.L Louis Globe Demo

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

| New York, Oct. 26.-Unlike the pre-
ceding session of the week, today's ac-
tive, broad and frequently irregular
market derived almost its sole initia-
tive from professionals, public interest
again holding aloof because of pending
uncertainties. Trading once more CEN
tered largely around secondary and
lower priced rails, industrials and spe-
cialties at gains of 1 to 8 points and
in some instances more.
Latest additions to the ranks of
prominent and strong rails were Lake
Erie & Western, Wheeling & Lake
Erie. Chicago Great Western, Texas
Pacific. Colorado Southern and Toledo,
st. Louis & Western. Favorites of the
previous day, like Rock Island and
Denver & Rio Grande preferred, were
relatively heavy, presumably on profit

Seasoned rates and other representa-

able backing and filling, though dis

final hour. The feature of that period,

When Shaw Was Married.

Keep i'm the Middle of the Road.

The residents of the alIuvial districts
will await with concern the final outcome
Of the bill pending approprating S45, 100000
for levees.
The proposed measure is one Of vital
Importance to the sections subject to over
flow and is one which once passed will attract
attention to the unparalleled possibilities Of
the rich deItas and will start homeseekers
this way with rush. Tie bare fact that
the government is to assume responsibility
for completing the leyce system will adVer-
tise our LANDS and create demand for them
that will be out Of all proportion to the small
investment to be pledged by the national
government.
The people of the district should APP
preciate the Importance of the project and
should watch the Legislation day and night
Now is the time to put forth calm, deliberate
effort.
Such effort will secure the one thing
necessary to make this the richest section Of
the Union-levees.
Let others advocate out lets, reservoirs
and reforestation, but the overflow sufferer
wants levees and nothing but levees. Had
this policy been pursued four years ago we
now would have had our system well near
completed.

Human Beings Must Speed Up

We beg pardon for the liberty taken in
referring to the lamentable tradgedy where
in one OF Snteveport's prominent merchants
was run down and killed by reckless auto
mobilist. The incident is not given as a
news item-such happening being so numer-
Gus as to be commonplace
But we refer to this TRAGEDY with the
view of warning local pedestrians that they
must learn to be quick of movement, else be
prepared to meet similar fate
We cannot say whether the first victim
in Ta!lulah will be an Individual whose age
or temperament has made him sluggish, or
whether it will be little tot running few
yards ahead Of its nurse, but this we know,
human movement has become too slow to
meet the requirements of the modern auto
mobilist. The pedestrian should therefore
be impressed with the necessity of close
watching and quick movement.
We concede that ladies and children are
not as expert in lodging machines as they
should be, but we think that they do the
best they can and that they should be ex-
cused to some extent. Further we advise
that some official should keep tab on auto
mobilists and PEDESTRIANS in order that in
case of accident we may have the record to
show that the pedestrian did not move out
of the way fast enough. 1t should go to the
jury clearly that the pedestrian was too slow
for the machine. Unless something of this
kind is done, it may be necessary to enforce
anti-speed laws.
Wetherefore ''in conclusion" advisethat
all citizens take regular practice in skipping,
running and lodging, otherwise their blooa
will be on their own hands.
