Grimaldi Saved Monaco and Was Made
Ruler Of the Tiny Land.
Did you ever hear of the most dis
tingulshed 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
Grimadi 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 true soldier OF fortune.
The tiny principality, perched on its
seagirt cliff had been settled by the
Greeks even before Athens became the
greatest city of the civilized world. IL
was one of the cultural outposts OF
Rome, and in the fifth century IL was
an important center of Christianity
Then the Moors crossed the Mediter.
ranean, extended their sway over Spain
and seized the ancient Heculis Monoeci
Portus and gave over its churches and
monasteries 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 Genoese cap
tain.
When his military genius had driven
the Moors into the sea. he was re-
warded by being made absolute mon

BURMA'S OLDEST TEMPLE.
This Towering Pile Looks as Though
II Were Built Of Gold.

Burmas oldest aud most famous
temple, Shwe Dagon Paya, is one OF
the sights OF Rangoon. The temple
stands on mound which was ap.
preached by four flights OF steps. one
nj each point OF the compass, but the
southern side Is the principal entrance,
and at the foot OF these steps IRE two
great leogryphs covered with white
plaster. The western entrance has
been closed by the fortlhcations which
were built by the English during the
Burmese wars.
At the top OF the stairs Is a broad
platform, from the center Of which
rises the paya. This is of brick COW
cred with gold, studded In places with
jewels. and II is surmounted by gid
ed "hti" or umbrella, from which hang
quantities of gold and silver bells
which tinkle continually in the breeze.
The pile is about $40 feet In height,
and II gives the effect of being made
Of solid gold The shape is also very
graceful, and seen against back
ground Of deep blue sky Is almost daz-
zling In its beauty. At the base OF the
structure and round the edge OF the
platform are numerous shrines and
chapels. and in every direction there
are bells of all sizes. each with deer's
antlers beside IL. with which the wor-
SHIPPER strikes II as he passes.
The platform of the pagoda presents
an animated scene. Numbers Of Bur
mans in their picturesque and brightly
colored garments throng it continually,
but 1t is so spacious that many thou
sands can assemble there without
any impression of overcrowdng.- FIX

He couldn't have been much" said the
Head Barber, 'or l would have heard OF
him."
"Of course you would" said the Mani

The Mister Hannibal mean crossed
them Alp mountains and scared the life
out OF a lot of them old Romans. the

Mister Antony hadn't went and fell in

that much from my school books.
Cleopatra was a peach. and she was

business dates. and when the other
Romans came to fight, her and him done
the Dutch as they say at Harvard and
Yale. It was awful sad, but / think Il
was kind of romantic, though. Goodness
