der him did all the world wax fat And when
the king did give his great feast it was sent
abroad that Teddy would come with his own
eyes to see the wonders of Quivera, and pal
ace was prepared for him, that he might be
given much honor Behold, while he was even
on his way did he fall so that he brake the
skin that lieth over his shin bone; and the omen
was such that he visited not Quivera, nor did
he see the splendor of Ak-Sar-B Ben Will He
did send messengers with words of love and did
promise that he would come again. And
Ak-Sar-Ben TX was crowned king.
Q UGH was the greatness of Quivera under
- the wisdom of Ak -Sar-Ben TX that its like
had never before been seen, and Samson was
never idle from receiving the caravans and dep
utations of those that did come to pay tribute
and do obeisance at the court of the king And
many were instructed in the ways of Ak-Sar-
Ben and the palace was thronged -saav oomsts
with knights, the most goodly to
number that the king had ever
known. And in the capital city of the king
was there much building of palaces for the
traders and for the mobiles of the land, and for
those that did come to cast their lot with the
people who served under the king. So that
when the king gave his FEAST after the
fashion of his fathers, it was a time of great
rejoicing and the people all said with glad ac-
claim How great is Ak-Sar-Ben, and how
mighty are Samson and his valiant knights!
And while Ak-Sar-Ben TX yet sat upon the
throne did come Teddy, who is also called
Roosevelt, and he was welcomed at the king s
city with much noise and great shoutings by
the multitude that did assemble. For it was
in the seed time of the yeGr and the fields were
not yet all planted but Teddy did see that the
kingdom is a mighty kingdom, and the king
and his wise men are great in the land Then
came to pass that Ak-Sar-Ben X did sit on the
throne,
A K-SAR-BEN x did rule over the land with
"A prudence and the peace of his fathers did
abide with all. And the harvest was bountiful
and the kings feast was such as did show forth
his splendors and the glories of his possessions
And he was followed by great train and all
the people did rejoice in his reign. And after
him came Ak-Sar-Ben XI, whose name is also
called the Builder, for he did cause to be con
structed many magnificent palaces throughout
the capital city, and through all his realm, that
men might dwell therein, and his A.-s.,.a., VT
people did him much honor. The Called the
fields did return even a greater 'a''
yield than had ever been known, and the fruit
trees and the vines, and the cattle and the
sheep and the swine were more than ever be-
fore, and the wealth of Quivera was the won
der of all who did learn thereof And when he
had served the days that were allotted to him
and while yet there was peace and plenty in the
land, he did give great feast at his place. on
the sixth night of the week, and after him
reigned Ak-Sar-Ben XII, who continueth even
unto this day
Such is the glory of the Kingdom of Quivera
and the magnifcence of the kings court that
none may tell thereof and say ALL Even as
one king surpasseth another in wisdom and
might, so hath Ak-Sar-Ben XII surpassed all
that did go before him. He hath builded, or
caused to be builded, such pal ex...n... =,
aces as exceed those that were ou,vsra Beyond
constructed by his father, who Al 0Ssss'
was also called the Builder And the wealth of
the land is even greater than that which was
told Of by the wise men ia the days of his faith
ers. His strong men are mightiest, and Samson
is proud in his greatness, and great feast that
shall exceed any that ever was given is pre-
pared by the king, that all who will may come
and partake thereof. In Omaha, which is the
center of all Quivera, and wherein doth dwell
the king, for it is his capital city and there is
set his citadel and his palace, have the people
made ready for the coming of the multitudes
and the rejoicing shall be such as the land
never knew.
