seems though the thought back of the toys

biggest gift-lies in the patient interested inven-

AS for the inventors strictly speaking, their

Very. very few Nuremberg toymakers have

the toy-village playthings. The store was crowded
with more children over thirty than under thir
teen, and absorbed for hours over the clever and
quaint attractions.
The dolls house of Nuremberg leaves nothing
to be desired. Not only the usual rooms of con-
yentional menage found in it, but conserva-
tories with miniature Orchids fountains and wa
tering cans; school rooms with tiny desks,
schoolmaster, very stern with goggles and ruler,
and children in aprons and carrying states, the
latter a sixteenth of inch big; fields of flowers
for the back yard and swing for the smallest
doll
In all German art, of which toy making is by
no means an Insignificant department, perfection
of detail has always been the salient feature. Ev-
cry phase of home life Is reproduced in micro
scopic form In German toyand, even down to the
pairs Of handknitted stockings and sweaters

up the wardrobe of the voks boy and girl.
The tourist is second Christmas for
Nuremberg people, and they sell many play
things in the one period as the other. An inter
esting point brought to light by this fact is the
early differentiation of the American and Euro
pean individuality, which shows itself in choice Of
games and pastimes. They say in the shops that
an American child is invariably fascinated over
the mechanical and complicated. that he finds in

TOMPERT CLEARED
 AND DEMANDS BEER
Bodeker Will Not Release It Unless
 He Receives m order From the Mayor

W. Fl. Tompert, charged with volat- ing the prohibition law, was adjudged not guilty yesterday morning in the first division of the recorders court and he at once demanded that the carload of beer which was confiscated at the time of his arrest be returned to him by the police. - s.4 -sr
 He took the, matter to Mayor Exum and asked that the beer be returned ito him. The Mayor told him that he would take the matter under consideration, but up until a late hour last night the beer had not been released, Just what ac- tion the Mayor will take is not known Chief Bodeker will not return the con fscated goods without an order from the Mayor.
 The case was a very unusual one and attracted a good deal of interest The court room was comfortably filled when the case began.
 Tt will be remembered that Tompert was arrested some time ago in connec- tfon with the carload of beer which was found at Avenue E and Twenty third street. south. The car had been broken into and some of the stuff stolen While stlie officers were Investigating this Tom pert IS said to have appeared and claimed the beer. He was at once placed under bond and the beer carried to the city hall
 The case was tried before Alderman Frank Smith, who is acting recorder dur ing the absence of Judge Feagin. He ruled that the city had not shown that any beer was sold by Tompert nor that the beer had been delivered by the rail- road company. MT. Tompert stated that he was about to reconsign the beer when he was arrested.
