NEW YORK, April Z.
That genial producer Mr. Ambrose Dingleberry, tossed
restlessy in his bed Try he might sleep would not
come He tried counting sheep. No He tried count
ing the who had been untrue to him. When that
failed to work. he realized it would be futile to count
further SO he up and snapped the light.
Ambrose knew exactly what the trouble was. He was
worried Yes, my affable clients, that's exactly what it
was He was worried about theatrical conditions He had
lost of his money in the last three years Another
unsuccessful production would just about ruin him. Where

The gnome eXten d ed his
hand.
Il congr atulate you" he
cried. That the perfect eX-
planation. And now for the
second and last black mark.
There have been reports that,
before you turned producer,
you were once a dramatic
critic. Is that true?"
Mr.. Dingleberry bit his lip.
He shivered. Anger blazed in
his eyes. He pointed to the
door.
"Gop he comma an d e d.
That's the deadlieSt insult of
all. I don't care if you were
able to bring me all the gold
in the world. 1 will not stand
for any such terrible abuse.
Get out Of here"
Makes FOndeSt Wish
Mr.. Dingleberry looked up.
From beneath his blouse. the
gnome produced a tiny lamp.
He caresSed it tenderly.
This" he announced softly,
is the magic lamp. You are
now to make the one wish for
something that you want more
than anything in the world.
. One, and only one-and it will
be granted on the second.
Come, what is it?"
The producer gazed off into
space.

Here is my one wish. Get me

The gnome clapped his hands
and gazed at the lamp.
"Abadaba" he chante ed.
"Toodle-oodles. Easy, baby.
baby. Look at me. Hot Chap"
And before he knew what
had happen d, Mr.. Dingle
berry's arms were loaded with
copy of the New York Times.
1t was the copy for which he
had wished; the copy that was
dated five years ahead.
Peers at Future
Feverishly he turned to the
dramatic pages. For the mo-
ment, his visitor was forgotten.
He quivered nervously as he
looked at the list of shows
that were then being presented
on Broadway.
What was all this? "Am.
brose Dingleberry presents"
-. Ambrose Dingleberry pre-
sents-". ga mbrose Dingle-
berry presents-". Ambrose
Dingleberry presents"
He swallowed hard. OF the
so shows on the list, he was
the producer of fully 40 of
them. He would be the most
successful producer of all time.
His eyes found a news note on
the same page.
"At the Earl Carroll Theater
tonight" it read, "Mr. Ambrose
Dingleberry will present his
42nd production of the season.
1t is estimated that this great
managers plays thus far this
year have earned him at least
$1O,000,000."
The producer threw out his
chest. He had known all the
time that he was the greatest
of them all. He closed the
dramatic section and turned to
the front page. Suddenly his
expression changed. The smile
of contentment faded from his
face. His eyes had fallen upon
another piece of news.
He had died the same morn

He sighed heavily. If only
something would happen. If
some author would only step
into his office and toss an
"Abie's Irish Rose" or a Rose
Marie" into his lap. If the pub
lie would only realize that he
was badly in need of its money.
If Wall Street would only re-
turn to normalcy. If. If. If.

Dingleberry, whats the use of
all these ifs? Where does a man

ing ever happens to let you

Came a squeaky voice from a
corner of the room.
Il wouldn't be too certain
about that" it said.
The producers eyes almost
popped from their sockets. Was
one of those chorines hiding in
his room again? He had been
lying there for hours but he
hadn't heard a sound. He
strained his eyes.
who's there?" he cried. "Is
1t Mabel? Gloria? Marjorie?
Joan? Florence? Evelyn?"
The voice came closer. It
seemed to be right beside the
producers bed now.
Its none of those" said the
voice. Here I am. Can't you
see me?"
Mr.. Dingleberry stiffened per-
ceptibly. A very tiny man was
standing right beside him. He
wasn't more than a foot tall.
And on his face there was an
elfiSh grin.

producer. What are yoU-a

The visitor shook his head.

"A gnome?" repeated Mr..

Surely you've heard of my cou-

The producer nodded.
"I've heard of one of them"
he returned. But let's get
back to you. What makes you
so small?"
Because gnome wasn't built

joinder.
Ambrose blinked. He decided
to put the gag into his next at
traction. 1t was just bad
enough.
''I don't get all this" he said
somewhat peevishly. Just how
did you get in here and what
do you want? I'm a tired man
and I'm worried. What do you
want from me?"
The dwarf placed a pair of
gold-rimmed spectacles on his
nose and climbed upon the pro-
ducer's bed.

can file on the republican or demo-
cratic ticket, just as they please.
AT the pow-wow meeting a lot
of things were recommended: Re
ducing the delinquent tax interests
from $50 to go. Lower the auto
license fee 500. Do only absolute
ly necessary road work. Reduce
mileage from 10 and 121kc to &c
per mile. Cutting the County
Agents office down to $2500.00.
Making the clerk in the Sheriff's
office work half time in the Clerk
and Records office. Running the
Clerk of Courts office without an
assistant. And, of course, cutting
down the janitor's wages.
The best of all was recommend
ing that legislature reduce the
state printing code at least 1879
That sounds like the printing code
price is something the printer
must charge, when the fact is;
that the printer can go as far be-
low the code price as he wants to
but not above it. County printing
is always taken below the code
price.

might look good as propaganda
