THE KING AND QUEEN OF FAIRY
LAND.
(Original.)

NOTlSlndIt
There lived in fairyland a beautiful
queen whose name was Sunbeam
Every one knew her and loved her
The king. whose name was Lamon, was
very jealous and sharp tempered. and
would not allow any prince to visit the
cattle. fearing they might speak TO tho
queen. But one day Prince Charming
entered the magic door and sat on
the throne in King Lannon's place. Very
unexpectedly the king walked in, and
was in great anger and fury to see
another man occupying his place. He
then ordered him down from the
throne. and commenced sham battle
1T lasted an hour and Prince Charm
ing slew King Lamon. Queen Sun
beam was delighted that there would
be no more King Lamon to rule her
about. They then were married by
the preacher Of Fairyland Prince
Charming and Queen Sunbeam then in
rited the kings queens. princesses and
pages and all the good fairies.
There lived In the forest 4 very wick
ed witch. who. when she found out
what had happened. and did not re-
ceive an invitation, was exceedingly
angry and determined TO go anyhow.
She set out on 81 fast run and was just
in time for the wedding feast. OF
course they ordered her out. but she
opened a box and threw powder
which went into the eyes OF the guests
and blinded them. ,rhe Enid
