Synopsis Of the operetta.


The old toymaker is discovered in
his toy shop mending the broken dolls.
Upon his departure for the night, four
hours emerge from the tall old clock
against the wall, and bring to life the
people in the toy shop for four brief
hours.
discussion at once arises as to
what form of government shall be
adopted by them The anarchists,
Jacks-in-the-B Box, object to any. The
tin and wooden soldiers wish for mill
tary rule, and the dolls clamor for a
representative government.
So much jealousy is called forth by
this discussion that the hours suggest
that the choice of the ruler be left to
a little child. whom they offer to sum-
mon magicallv from dreamland. This
plan is agreed to and the child
chooses her old doll as the best be-
loved The little queen doll is brought
back in state by the child and the
attendant hours and everything runs
On merrily with The Toy Shop people
until the hours warn them that their
brief freedom is over, and that the
time has come to return to the shelves
of the TOY Shop.
The Child and the Queen bid all
farewell and after one last grand fro
lie at the striking of the hour. they
return to their places on the shelves
The curtains are drawn by the
watchful hours. who vanish into the
clock, and the old Toymaker. on his
return, finds nothing disturbed in the
Toy Shop.

The Temple of Burma.

Among the many interesting fea-
lures to be found in Burma the
numberless temples figure most
prominently. One group consists
of no fewer than 450 pagodas, OH
each of which is recorded on stone
a section Of the law Of Buddha, the
founder of the Buddhist religion,
which embraces millions of devo-
tees. The reverence and awe with
which the images of Buddha are re-
Tarded are hardly less wonderful
than the fabulous sum which has
been spent N the erection Of tenn
pies to his fama by poverty stricken
communities. In India and the adj
joining countries TIE proceeds of
the sacrifices Offered BY the people
are devoted toward the erection Of
gorgeous temples, which accounts
for the thousands to be found in
districts where Buddhism holds
sway.-Wide World Magazine.

The Third Handle,

Henry w. Of France while hunt
ing became separated from his COM
panions and, feeling thirsty, called
at a wayside inn for a cup of wine.
The serving maid on handing it to
him as he sat on horseback neglect
ed to present the handle. Some
wine was spilled, and his maiesty's
white gauntlets were soiled. While
riding home he bethought him that
a two handled cup would prevent
a recurrence of this, so his majesty
had a two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the
inn. On his next visit he called
again for wine, when, to his aston
ishment, the maid, having received
instructions from her mistress to
be very careful of the kings cup,
presented it to him by holding it
herself by each of its handles. AT
once the happy idea struck the king
OF a cup with three handles, which
was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, "Surely, out
of three handles | shall be able to
get one!" Hence the loving cup.

HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM
Business Mar Now Understands What
Becomes Of Show Window
LeftoVers.

The mooted question of what be-
comes of the tempting displays of
cake, pies and other dainties which
delight the eve from the show win
dows of restaurants, l~unchrocms,
bakeries, etc, is an old and familiar
one. These window displays are
frequently allowed to remain updis-
turbed for days, and Of course the
toothsome morsels must dry up and
grow stale. The average person
often has wondered what eventu-
ally becomes of them.
One Pittsburg business man has
found the answer. He gets them in
neatly wrapped lunches for which
he sends his Office boy each day. For
many moons he has been putting up
with ossifed doughnuts, petriticd
sponge cake and other soliditied It'd
bits, but the limit Of forbearance
was reached the other day when the
boy brought him an adamantine slab
of gingerbread of haryeyized infexi-
bility.
A few minutes later the dairy
lunch man received a second call
from the Office boy, who handed him
a neatly wrapped parcel. Opening
it, he discovered the slab of ginger
bread and a typewriter note say
ing:
"'This chunk of asphalt is re-
turned, as YOU failed to send along

COURTEOUS ~PicKPocKET.

One Of the most courteous pick
pockets on record came to light at
New York the other day on the
steamship docks, where the liner
Majestic was preparing to sail for
Liverpool. Kyosuka Iwai, a Japa-
nese business man, missed his wallet
when he reached for his ticket.
After he had recovered from the
shock he said the wallet contained.
besides his ticket, a draft on London
for $3.50 and $50 in cash. He was
standing around despondently when
a messenger boy appeared, waving a
wallet, which he said a man told him
to give to a japanese on the steamer.
The London draft and the steamship
ticket were still in the receptacle. In
stead of the cash was a laconic note.
