that enabled them to see the benefits
that would in the future come to the
city through such a unique institu-
ton, had a great deal of discourage
ment to face.
It was only because they stuck to
their task through scoffings and OBJ
stacles that Ak-Sar-Ben was finally
set solidly upon it's feet as the most
original and useful advertising
scheme possessed by western city.
But in the year when Judge Bart
lett was king there was only one Ak
Sar-Ben float in the great state fair
parade. 1t was a marvellous float,
to be sure, showing all illuminated
with red fire the terrible tortures
being undergone by candidates for
the order. But even with only one
float, the Ak-Sar-Ben knights we're
the stars of the parade. for the last
place of honor was reserved for them.
Under the leadership Of Judge Bart
lett the society became a real force
IA the affairs of the city.
The fall festivities under the di-
rection of the knights were unusually
successful the second year of the his
tory OF the organization. Casper E.
Yost was king that year and right
royal king at that Mr.. Yost was
known then, as he is now, as a lead
ing business man and capitalist, and
a pioneer in the telephone business
in this part of the country.
So successful was the fall fair
that after it was all over the knights
invited a number of guests, including
the members of the city council and
other city officials to a grand ban
ouet in celebration. At that banquet
Judge Bartlett, the king to retire,
told Of the great work already &C

amply verified.

No court is more gay gorgeous than that
of Ak-sar-Ben at the time of the coronation cere-
mony and grand ball, which are the climax TO
the week OF carnival during the annual autumn
festival At this celebration the loyal subjects
throughout the realm gather at the big Den of
Samson, castle hall OF the king, to do homage to
their new rulers. Here amid the crowd OF princes
and princesses, knights and ladies' cardinals.
bishops and governors, heralds and pages; amid
the red and green and yellow lights, the fash of
armor, the CLINT of jewels, the brilancy OF the
gowns of many colors and the merry clash OF
music, the king and queen are proclaimed and
shouts of JOY vibrate through the realm. Although
the king is given his rghtful due, 1t is upon the
queen that all eyes turn.
The first of Quiveras maidens to wear the
royal crown of Ak-Sar-Ben was Miss Meliora Wool
