Hshman the crowd made a great noise,
which walked Up the bears, and they
began to appear in the pit from their
sleeping quarters. They gathered
around the Englishman with curiosity,
but at first without evil design, smell
ing at him and yawning. The crowd
kept on shouting, one suggesting one
thing and another something else.
Finally a rope of coat strips was
made, the Englishman grasped it, and
the crowd began pulling him up. When
his feet were dangling a few inches
from the bottom one of the bears stag
gered up to him and struck him with
his paw in the small of the back. The
rope parted, and he fell, his spine
crushed by the bears blow. The bears
fell upon him and literally devoured
the dead body. and then the police
man shot the bear that struck the
deadly blow!
A model city is this city of the bears,
the capital of the mother republic
republic founded 200 years before Co
lumbus discovered America. A lady
of one of the legations raised her
hands in despair at the stupidity of
the Swiss. You go into a shop, she
declared, and ask for something. A
man ambles off, comes back empty
handed, stares stupidity into your eyes,
goes away, misunderstands again.

dull, if dull they are? 1 turned from
the lady to the young son Of Minister
Stovall and asked him the question.
Il don't admit that they are dull"
he said, as a diplomats son should.
What they do is well done, because
their tasks are limited and definite
and they have only to understand to
be faithful"
Everything Well Ordered.
And then I could see for myself that
there was discipline. There are no
unruly children running about. From
my window, which also commands a
view of the JUngfrau and the Ober-
land, I can see three or four play
grounds on the banks of the Aare. AL
ways in the afternoon these spaces are
alive with youngsters. Their play
is we'll ordered. They run, jump, throw
the discus, pole vault and swim and
dive into the river. It is real play,
but is orderly. All are in good earn
est about it. The play doesn't degen-
crate into horse play.
In our America it would be almost
impossible to maintain these play
grounds, except under the severest su-
pervisiOn. They would be picked to
pieces, strewn with litter and the
earnest work of athletics turned into
some sort of buffoonery. Here the
play goes on apparently without SUI
perintendence right up to dark.
The arrangement of this little city,
the squares and public buildings, the
municipal housekeeping are a model Of
painstaking and good taste. The Won
derful river combines utility and
beauty. 1t twists and turns in it's
course through the town, making land
scape opportunities that have been
taken advantage of. After it reaches
the outside of the city it pursues it's
swift course a mile, then bends sharp
ly and comes back to within 300 yards.
The thrifty Bernese have made a tun-
mel from bend to bend with 40 feet of
fall, and here the city gets it's supply
of electric power.

Fell Into the Bears Pit.
When [ spoke of my visit to the bear
pit this afternoon a lady recited the
story that has become a tradition in
Berne, but that is historically accu-
rate. She told it well and it was
much more stirring than the story of
the horrible butchery by which thou
sands had lost their lives in Flanders
only the day before. SO cruelty does
usage blunt human feelings!
On a night many years ago one of
the secretaries of the British lega-
ton with a colleague from another le-
cation stopped at the bears den. 1t
was about midnight. They had been
out to dinner and were much under
the influence of wine. The English
man in a sporty spirit vaulted over
the iron rail at the top and then back
several times. The last time he was
tripped by his cane, which he held in
his hand, and fell 20 feet to the bottom
of the pit. He was not hurt by the
fall. The pit was empty; the bears
had gone into their sleeping cellars.
Neither diplomat was much alarmed,
as it was found that the Englishman
wasn't injured by his fall. He was So
bered, and cautioned the other not to
make too much noise while he explored
the place to see if he could climb out.
Some time was spent in this hunt,
which was without result; but there
was still no sign from the sleeping
bears.
DeVoured by the Animals.
The colleague then went off to find
a rope or ladder. At the end of an
hour he came back empty-handed, but
with three or four other men, and
ways and means were discussed with
out coming to any decision.
In spite of warnings from the Eng
