CHRONICLES OF SAMUEL THE T..
PROPHET,


1. And 1t came to pass In the days Of Benja
min, he who was dear to the hearts of the people,
In the third month Of the first year of his reign
that a proclamation was put forth to all the pao-
pie in this far west
q Saying, l. Benjamin have in my wisdom set
aside certain portions OF this vast country which
has up to the present time been deprived Of the
advantages and privileges which should at all
times be granted to an enlightened and free peo-
pie.
3. And will give unto them government and
council of their own wherein they can make
their own laws, rules and regulations.
a. And hereby appoint and decree that the
fourteenth day OF the third month of the first year
Of my reign shall be set apart which the people
shall assemble themselves together and cast lots
for good, true and wise men to represent them in
forming laws that shall govern them.
s. And it was so that as the day drew nigh that
many came forward and offered themselves up on
the shrine of public approval
g. But there were factions and strife among
the people and two great sects had arisen in the
country, the publites and the demonites and their
names were characteristic Of their adherents.
z. Now the pubtes had selected one Charles
the scribe and Harry, Il dealer in precious stones
and the demonites put forward the claim OF
Paris the demagogue and Timothy the money
lender.
And it was so that as the time drew near that
Harry the dealer In precious stones withdrew
from the contest.
8. And one Daniel the Brckmaker surnamed
Stubborn by his friends pushed himself forward
in the van Of the conflict and Showed himself
ready to be sacrificed in place of Harry the dealer
in precious stones.
10. Now it came to pass in due time the day ap-
pointed by Benjamin came to hand and it was so
that the two opposing sects took issue one with
the other and great battle ensued.
IL. And Paris the Demagogue and Timothy the
Money Lender were assisted In their endeavors by
one Jerry surnamed the Straddler and numbers
of like ilk.
H. But Charles the Scribe and Daniel the
Brickmaker surnamed Stubborn fought the battle
out on their own merits.
l3 And il was SO about the ninth hour OF the
day whe n both parties were we'll nigh worn out
with their strenuous efforts and victory seemed to
have been conceded to the publites that there ap-
peared wonderful reinforcement for the demo-
mites.
H. And 1t was as if d miracle had been per-
formed, for there came up from the bitches and
trenches of the city vast array and they soon
turned the victory in the favor of the demontes
Is And so endeth thd chronicles OF Samuel the
Prophet.
