While Mr.. Beckett is very much up-to-
date, his uncle, Lord Grimthorpe. now in
his SOth year, is a very eccentric old gen
tleman, and has achieved some fame and
distinction as a practical clOckmaker. The
new clock OF st. Paurs Cathedral, which
was only completed and set up a couple OF
years ago, and which is the biggest time
piece in Great Britain, was desig ned By his
lordship, and the great clock of the Victo-
ria tower of the House of Parliament al
Westminster is likewise his creation.

Under the circumstances 1t is only fit
ting that he should hold the position of
president of the British Theological Insti
tute. Nor have his energy and industry been
confined to clockmaking, upon which sub
ject, as also on bells and watches, he has
written useful and practical treatise.
He is also an architect. having designed
many churches and public buildings, in ad
dition TO all the new works carried out at
st. Paul's Cathedral since 1878.
The only objection that can be made TO his
activity is that he insists on placing his
crest in conspicuous positions In all the
sacred cdifices with which he has been In
any way connected. either as an architect or
a clocknIaker. and, unfortunately his crest
happens to be the head of a boar, which
resembles far less the savage denizen of the
German forests than the comm onplace
hog of the British pig -sty.

OF seven more are really needed. he bases
his calulcations on the last police census,
which made the population OF lies Moines
$1,000. First Assistant Postmaster Gen.

carriers are enough. He bases his estimate
on the census of 1890, which gave Des
Moines population of $4,000. When Mr..

him that the secret service men had been
at work in Des Moines and they reported
that in that city mail men were everything

In the evening at 8 o'clock another con-
cert is given by the string band, but this
time it goes in for classic music rather
than the more frivolous extracts from
comic operas. Then, the Schanzli gardens
are sight to see, hung with Chinese Ian
terms and other lights. Sitting there list
ening to the fine music one, as the evening
draws on, can first admire the Alpine glow
on the different snow peaks, then the coming
out of the twinkling lights Of Berne, and,
finally, the sparkling stars, which are no.
where more brilliant than in pure Swiss
sky.
Taking 1t all in all, then, it seemed to
me that this continental Sunday of Berne,
beginning with the service at the cathedral
and ending with the classic concert out
of doors, was not at all a bad way Of
spending the day.

soon explained by another reason than the
fine view. The inspiring strains of a band
were heaad. and presently fine military
band came marching in, and it seemed as
if. like the Piper of Hameiin, its music had
brought the whole town at its heels
The terrace was speedily thronged. The
band tonk up its position in the center of
the terrace, in front of a monument which
stands there, and from that time until
IL O'Clock we had an excellent military
concert; then the band, stepping to the
tap of the kett!edrum, disappeared once
more toward its barracks, and the crowd
disappeared toward lunch.
In the afternoon at O'Clock there began
another concert at the Cafe Schanzu.

hillside high above the city. Under the
trees are numerous Ia bies and chairs, and
here the respectable burgher of Berne and
his wife and family sit and sip their after

plays in an open pavIiinl hanging over

The picturesque costume of the Bernese
women added just the touch of foreign
ness which Is SO delightful to a person
who has come from a land where dress
is more conventional. Most OF them wore
the black velvet bodice laced in front,
with heavy silver chains dropping from

The arms were bare from the elbow. and
above, from elbow to shoulder, were the
white sleeves like broad white shield
meant TO protect each upper arm. Many
strolled on the terrace in front of the

is grand view to the east Of the snowy

But tho Man Got Away.

They came on train from the north
the other day and headed up Jefferson
avenue holding each other by the hand.
They had left the depot only two block:
behind when they came to q man sitting
on box in front Of q store, and as he
caught sight of them grin crept over
his face like molasses spreading out on
shingle.
"Grinning at us, I 'spcse?" queried
the young man az he came to a halt.

He took to the middle Of the street
like a runaway horse, and the young
man took after him, but it was no use.
After a race of block the man who
grinned gained so fast that the other
stopped short and went back to his girl
and his hat. Stretching forth his hand
to the innocent maiden, he remarked:
