From the byways and the highways Of
the kindom of QuIvera Monday Will begin
the pilgrimage to the imperial city. For
four days the Home Guards have been
passing through the gates of the Kings
Highway and have been inspecting the
Kings Carnival. and the judgment of the
Home Guards is the Kings Carnival is
worthy of the mighty ruler. Double the
number of home folks have inspected the
Kings Highway this year than passed
through the gates during the inspection
period OF one year ago and the verdict Is
unanimous that Samson mas kept his word.
Something for your money"
The detailed verdict of the Home Guards
is this There has never been a cleaner
carnival in honor of the king; there has
never been better order; there has never
been better attractions.
The Home Guards place particular stress
upon the good order, for 1t is the women
and children and young boys who delight
most In the attractions on the carnival
grounds, and their safety must he con.
served. For that reason forty special po-
lcemen, under the most careful men on
the police force, have been detailed to look
to the protection of the kings visitors. For
the least disorder. the least accident Sam
son holds responsible these special guard
ians OF the peace. and for the least mlshap
off comes an official head, with dire pun
ishment to follow Thus has Samson taken
steps to care for the people who come to
do honor to his majesty, King Ak-Sar- Ben
XIV.

riman has said all subjects OF the king
may ride for cent for each mile he has
to travel to reach the presence OF the
crowned head, while over the other roads

"'Tis well worth the price, to be blessed
with the mighty enthusiasm OF the gen
erous ruler and TO be inspired by his
mighty works" say these who have paid
their tribute OF love and respect.
But the king offers more than look
at his glorious achievements to those who
join in the pilgrimages. Win no cost 80
