A BIG LITTLE PONY.

When Johnnie Green sent him along the road at a trot, Twinkle heels tiny feet moved so fast that you could scarcely have told one from another. Being a pony and only half as big as horse, he had to move his legs twice as quickly as a horse did in order to travel at horse E speed. Twinkleheels' friends knew that he didn't care to be beaten by any horse, no matter how long-legged
 "It's spirit, not size, that counts, Farmer Green often remarked as ne watched Twinllleheels tripping out ot the yard, sometimes with Johnnie on his back. sometimes drawing Johnnie in a little, red wheeled buggy.
 Old dog Spot agreed with Farmer Green. When Twinllleheels first came to live on the farm Spot had thought him something of a joke.
 Huh, This pony's nothing but toy," he had told the farmyard folk. He's a child's p1aything-about as

 One trip to the village and back, behind Johnnie Greens glistening new buggy was enough 10 change Spots opinion of the newcomer Back from the village Twlnkleheels came clipping up the road and swung through Farmer Greens front gate as fresh as a daisy, And old Spot with his tongue lolling out, and pantng fast was glad to lie down on the woodshod step to rest,
 My goodness!" said Spot to Miss Kitty Cat, This Twnklcheels Is the goingest animal 1 ever followed. He doesn't seem to know the difference between uphill and down, It's all the same 10 him, l did think he'd walk now and then, or I'd never have travelled to the village behind him."
 "Hc's not lazy, like some people," Miss Kitty Cat hissod; and then crept into tho farmhouse before Spot could chase her, She had a poor opinion 70 S"'t. And she never failed to let him know 1t.

 Tonight is the final showing of the dainty child impersonator, Mary Pick ford, in Through the Back Door" The vaudeville is excellent, compris- Ing as 1t does, the latest sensation as put on by the Five Miriots.

An Italian character com edian and a girl singer are also on the bill and smother big number is the Sidney Stone company in a comedy drama act of merit, This last act in- cludes an interpretative dancer of un- usual skill.
 Tomorrow in conjunction with the new vaudeville bill. there will be that star of western stars, William S. Hart in Three Word Brand" In this picture Hart has the part of a typical westerner, not much on the mouth, but strong on the fight, and in this picture he has some fight-with ban dits, Indians and crooks. There is a strong love story of the golden west running through it.

ANNIVERSARY WEEK." PALACE

Tonight is the last chance to see the first halfs bill at the Palace Of the Third Anniversary Week" show. The features, "The Child Thou Gavest Me-" Harold Lloyd. and the five Keith acts are well worth seeing. The new bill that starts Thursday for the balance of the week is one of greater
 attractions than the present one. The vaudeville bill will contain five ex-
 cellent acts and features "The Ten nessee Ten" an aggregation of colOred singers and dancers with their famou iazz band who are certainly some en-
 tcrtainers. They offer the liveliest act
 that has ever been seen here. The
 other headliner presents the personal
 appearance of Maurice Costello, the
 famous movie star, who is supported
 by Ada Carter in the vaudeville
 sketch, Arrangements for Hubby
 Mir Costello has appeared in pictures
 in this city many times and is known
 as one of the first stars of the movies
 The other acts include the Henri
 Sisters, two pretty girls who can sing and dance: Jean and VaIjean in
 startling novelty offering; and the
 Lillian Steel Trio who are one of the
 big Keith favorites. They offer Love Lessons" a comedy proposal with
 song that will make a big hit here. The photoplay feature offers Norma Talmadge in her latest success ''The Sign on the Door, a screen version of Charming Pollock's famous stage play of the same name. Miss Talmadge is supported by Lew Cody and Charles Richman. two excellent stars whose wonderful acting in other features will be remembered. Miss Talmadge plays the greateH part of her entire

Green turned him loose in the pas lure he kicked and frisked about so gayly that Jimmy Rabbit and Billy Woodchuck and their friends had to step lively, now and then to get out of his way. They said they liked high spirits but that Twinkleheels was all most too playful,
 When Twinkleheels took it into his head to do anything he did it with out the slightest warning. If he. de- cided to shy at bit of paper he was out of the road before Johnnie Green knew what had happened. And if he wanted to take a wrong turn, just for fun, he darted off so fast that he usually had his way before Johnnie could shout "Whoa." Everybody said that he was as quick as Miss Kitty Cat. And that was the same as say ing that there wasn't anybody any it was Grumpy Weasel himself.
 But TWinkleheels and Miss Kitty were not alike in any other way; for Twinklehecls was both merry and good naturcd. He Jet Johnnie Green pick up his feet, one at time, and clean them. And the worst he ever did was to give Johnnie a playful nip, iust as Johnnie himself might have pinched the boy that sat in front Of him at school.
 Only, of course, Johnnie Green wouldn't have used his teeth to dc that.
