The Ak-Sar-Ben dynasty has again
changed hands, and the Kingdom of Quivera
will be ruled by a monarch who has never
before occupied the royal throne.
The prospects OF good times, prosperity
| and happiness have largely increased since
the day on which the first king took up the
sceptre. The knights then pledged them
selves to support the mighty monarch in
carrying to a successful point the arts of
peace, and in abolishing the horrors OF
devastating war.
These pledges have been fulfilled in part
and it now remains to be seen what will be
done in the future to spread throughout this
broad kingdom Of Quivera a knowledge OF
the branches of industry, learning and art
which will be of lasting benefit, and which
will exist through all time as monument
to the usefulness of the bold and valiant
knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.
During the reign of the wise king Ed
mund who was the first king of the realm
the progress Of peace was notably advanced.
Man ceased warning with man, and instead
OF acts of valor on the field there were
friendly contests in the courts, with oratory
for weapons. Thus the profession Of law
was developed greatly, and humanity was
helped by the peaceful methods of equity
and justice.
Then came the coronation OF the won
derful King Caspar. he OF the magic hand
that could gather together the lightnings,
and could use them as his messengers. Dur
ing his period OF rule there were many dark
mysteries solved. Man could talk with man
and woman with woman, without the trouble
OF walking or driving several miles. Elec-
tricity did many great and hitherto impos-
sible things and everyone said Hello! Hail
to the King" Truly IL was a reign for the
breaking down of reserve. and for the up
building OF commerce and industry.
The following year. just before the In
dian summer had come to an end, yea, even
while the turkey was beginning to be fat
tened for the distant feast behold another
mighty monarch arose. He was called Ed
ward the Fair, because he was not only
good to look upon, but because he was Just,
in all his DEGREES. During his reign there
was given an impetus to all matters pertain
ing to husbandry Grain, which had hth-
erto been somewhat neglected, now began to
sprout with renewed yigor and abundant
harvests resulted, and thus was grain eIe-
waited, Sociability also became more and
more prevalent under the cheering rays of
the smile OF Edward the Fair, the third king
OF the line. Clubs were promoted with
more vigor and everything that induced a
more friendly and charitable feeling was
fostered by that good and generous monarch
But all reigns must end (except Queen
Victoria's) and the scepter was next swayed
by Robert, the Brave This valiant sover-
eign had fought in many wars, and had
gained the title OF major, and also the love
and respect OF all his fellowmen. But he
saw the evils OF warfare, and like a true
knight, he sacrificed military glory for the
peaceful pursuit of clothing the naked and
teaching the natives to abandon the war
paint OF savagery, putting on instead
bleached linen, dyed cloth, silken scarves for
the neck, hats OF felt and beaver for the head.
warmth-producing overcoats, and-hose.
King Roberts reign was marked by the de-
velopment OF artistic adornment and good
apparel. the wearing of which always makes
man hold his head high.
And now cometh William. the Just, also
named Douglas. With much equity has he
hitherto ruled in the Court of the ALL
mighty and all powerful Samuel the Uncle,
