The Tiny GnOme
BY NlRGINIA YALE.

Once upon a time Tiny Tim,
the smallest of all OF the Gnomes,
was sent to the village on an er-
rand. The Gnomos did not often
send him on errands for he was so
tiny that nearly always something
happened TO him II they did. The
wind was blowing very hard and
il was difficult for the little fellw
to keep on his feet but he trudged
along as fast as he could, hoping
that the wind would stop soon.
Just as he turned the corner a
gust OF wind swept him off his
feet and m IN he flow oNnr the

MAJESTIC.

A feature picture is not a feature"
because It IL contained in more than
one reel There must be something
more than length to recommend an
attraction of any kind. This Is espe-
cially true of motion pictures, for
there are few things more tlresome
than to sit for an hour or more
watching an apparently endless and
uninteresting series OF situations mas
querading under the name of 'fea-
ture.'
The Majestic is particularly care
full I'm its selection OF subjects, the
main object of which is to eliminate
those that are without that sterling
quality called punch
In the offering for today, Hearts
and Masks the length Is three reels
but those three reels are crowded
with action and interest Of the most
entertaining sort. kathlyn Williams
the favorite Selig star, enacts the
leading role in this story by Harold
McGrath. In addition to the headline
attraction. other good subjects are
shown.

1t is a rare enough thing nowadays
to find lay which has received the

play from a technical viewpoint, but
from the prominent laymen who
judge play only by the personal
appeal which it makes to them. 1t
is therefore of increased interest to

SOME CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
John Dick, of ElliRwOOd, Makes
Some Expensive Christmas
Gifts.

With wheat selling around the
dollar and a quarter mark it is
natural to expect that some ex-
penSive Christmas presents would
be given by the people of Barton
county this year, and of course
that was the case, but it remained
for John Dick, of EllinwoOd, t.
set the high mark in this respect,
for in addition to the other gifts
he gave the members of his fam
lily, he presented each of his six
children with a check for $1,000
Mr.. Dick is one of the wealthy
land owners and farmers of El-
linwOOd and he has family Of
children of whom he can afford
to be proud, and he wants them
to enjoy some of his prosperity
while he is here on earth to share
in their happiness.

AND IN LARNED, TOO.
Congressman Neeley Is Tearing
Things Up With Post Office
Row.

Congressman George Neeley has
been, in the past, one of the most
popular congressman ever sent to
Washington from the Seventh
District, but some of his acts since
his defeat for United States Sena-
tor in November have been scch
that in part of the district at least,
he will perhaps be one of the most
unpopular before his term of of
flee expires in March.
Larned is at present enjoying
a post office row, much the same
as Great Bend, on account of TIE
appointment the Hon. George is
trying to make at that place, and
while the Republican brethren
are enjoying the row here, they
are not so joyful in the Larned
vicinity, for Mr.. Neeley is trying
to separate Republican official
from his position before his term
of office expires, an action which
is not meeting with the approval
of the far minded Democrats of
the county, either.
+. w. Johnson has been the
postmaster at Larned for the past
eleven years and his term of Of
flee is not out until next January
a year from this time, but Mr..
Neeley desires to appoint H. B.
Pearce to the office, the gentle
man who has been his private
secretary for the past two years,
and because Johnson refused to
resign his position and let Pearce
have the job, Neeley has preferred
charges against him and is try
ing to force him out. NeeIey first
asked Mr.. Johnson to resign and
when he refused to do so, was
told that charges of neglect of
duty would be preferred against
him and he would be forced to va.
cate, this leaving an opening
whereby Mr.. Neeley could appoint
Pearce, whereas if the appoint.
