IHow Paris Gots Its Nam*.
The city of Paris owes Its origin to
the conquest of Gaul by Caesar. "When
this I toman general on his path of
cc.iquest came to the present site of
the French eapital he found a swampy
Island In the river Seine, which was
Inhabited by a Gallic tribe called Pari.

Rather than be captured by the Romans,
these people burned their rude
city, which they called Lutetla. or
p "mud town," and the great Caesar,
quick to appreciate the situation, built
a temple to Jupiter and a wall around
the island. A town soon sprang up
about the temple and was named
Parlsli. after the ancient trJLe. In
E' later years this was shortened to Par la.

Why He Didn't Smile
A certain well known humorist recently
attended a banquet at which 1
he was seated beside a man who seem- a
' ed to have almost a mania for story
telling He began with the oysters |
and had at least one story for each
course clear down to tho Roquefort t
Tho humorist listened In patience, bu.
did not smile or make any comment, i
Finally the story teller noticed the fc
fnct that he was not eliciting any ex 1
prosslons of uilrth. and. being one whe
wns not at nil afflicted with diffidence,
he asked: ft
"Say. old man, what's the matter a
with my stories, anyhow? You haven't ?
cracked a smile over any of them." 2k
"If I haven't seemed to appreciate p
your stories, you will have to blaine y
my modesty." k
"Your modesty? There's uothlng tl
about any of the stories I've told that D
ought to interfere with anybody's mod- ?
esty. At least 1 supposed they were h
clean. If there's a double meaning in b
nay of them, please tell me.'* h
"i'nere's nothing at all tbe matter 0
with them. They're good. clean sto- n
ries. Nevertheless my modesty forbids 0
me to laugh at them. I vrrote them." p
