High Wnter Mark.

The Parisians are not exactly an I'M
truthful people, but foreigners who live
among them note disposition to keep
any story which they tell at least as
large in the successive feelings as it was
at the start.
Two Americans who were dining at
tables in front of a cafe in Paris, near
the Seine, noticed high up on the front
wall of the building a red mark, and
underneath it this inscription, evidently
painted: foundation of 1875. High wa
ter mark"
"Comel comet" said one of the Ameri-
cans TO the restaurant keeper; "you
don't expect us to believe that the river
ever rose as high as thatw
sob, nor said the proprietor, blandly;
sit only came up to here" He made a
sort of scratch with his thumb nail down
near the ground. "But, you see, when
the mark was down there the children
rubbed it out so continually that we had
to put it up there out Of their reachl"-

When she came home she was any
