journeyed, and they were greeted by the people
with great joy, so that they were exceedingly
glad that they were alive. .
In the tenth month of the year did the king
make a mighty festival, and with music and
the sounds of rejoicing did he and his train of
warriors and nobles enter the city of his palace,
run of From afar off did the great cara-Ak-sar-Ba
vans journey ,to the king's city,
OMtb Atroaj. and the multitudes that encamped
around about the citadel were without number.
For the fame of Ak-Sar-Ben had gone abroad,
even to the uttermost corners of the earth, and
from all these places did the dwellers of the
earth journey to see the glories and the won
ders and the magnificence of the king, and par
take of his goodness. So that the capital city
, of the king was overtaxed, and it was like all
the barter they did make with the stranger?.
Even to the uttermost parts of the earth did
the merchants of Quivera send their ships, ejyl
the goods of the kingdom were JcjiiTvm of all
men .everywhere. In his reason did the king
make a great festival, so that even the great
, ness of his fathers was surpassed, and to it did
come all the multitudes from the ends of the ,
earth, and. their numbers were : without end.
And they blessed thef toamd' of the king and
called him greater than all other kings, for his
glory was that of all others and then some, and
he was a puissant man and wrought well in all
things. Peace was with the land, and ,the pal
aces of the king and his nobles and counsellors
were alight with much magnificence, and in the
'market places there was no night and no day, ;
but one time of exceeding great joy unto all
mankind'. And when the feast was ended on
the sixth day the king slept with his fathers,
and after him came Ak-Sar-Ben VII.
AK-SAR-BEN VII reigned over the land in .
peace and wisdom and his days were full
of joy for all the people. Under his goodness
the earth did yield of its bounty to all, and the
harvests were exceeding rich In all the fruita
of the field and of the vine. And in the capital
fity of the king was much rejoicing, for tha
luildcrs were busy, and many people did come
y -ere to traffic at the market place, and all the
iv.oney changers were active, and the fame of
the kingdom and its ruler and the wealth of its .
people filled all the kingdoms of the earth, and
great was the name of Ak-Sar-Ben and of
Quivera throughout all the world. In the tenth
np.ruy month of the year the king did
AMd.t ia make a feast and a festival unto
iTn. ajj an(j j0 an e B0.
journers in his kingdom, and to all the nations
- of the earth. And it was as was written of
. yore, beyond all that any king of his line had
accomplished, so that all who did see did mar
vel much at its glory and magnificence. And
when the king and his men of war and his
counsellors, and his nobles, and his wise men
had entered the city from the palace, it was.
. with such splendor that no man might look
... thereon and not be stricken by its wonder.
Even unto the evening of the sixth day did the
feasting and the rejoicings continue, and," as
they were seeking their pleasure, that Ak-Sar-
Ben VIII. was crowned king and ruled over
Quivera.
UNTO Quivera came many wise men and the
great rulers of the kingdoms round about
of the land ruled over by McKinley, and in
quired, Tor Ak-Sar-Ben ,VIII, for the fame of
, his goodness had gone through all the land.''
And these did marvel exceedingly at what they
saw, and were filled with wonder at the rich
, nesa of the king and the glory of his reign.
His people did have more than those of any
Tddy other kingdom, so that many did
comcta come to Quivera, that they might
U Qui... gerve unJer Ak Sar Ben yjjj
i and be numbered among his people and his
' men of war. And in the tenth month of the
year, at the fullness of the harvest, he gave a'
great fea6t, as was the custom of those kings
that did reign before him, and his splendor and
) magnificence were shown to all mankind. Him
! that is called Koosevelt, and also is called
i Teddy, did sit on the seat in the high place of
the land, whereon had sat McKinley, and un
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 a 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-Ben VIII. He
did send messengers with words of love and did
promise that he would come again. . And
Ak-Sar-Ben IX was crowned king.
(UCn was the greatness of Quivera under
s the wisdom of Ak-Sar-Ben IX 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
T"nv were instructed in the. ways of Ak-Sar-Ben
and the palace was thronged Teday com
with knights, the most goodly
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 nobles 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 1
And while Ak-Sar-Ben IX 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 yes r and the fields were
not yet all planted, but Teddy did see that tho
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 tho
throne, ;
A K-SAR-BEN X did rule over the land with
r prudence and the peace of his fathers did
abide with alL And the harvest was bountiful
and the king's feast was such as did show forth
. his splendors and the glories of his possessions.
And he was followed by a 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.B.B,m
people did him much honor. The cud tu
fields did return even a greater
yield than had ever been known, and the fruit
trees and the vines, and the cattle and' tho
sheep and the swine were more than ever bo
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 a 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 magnificence of the king's court that
none may tell thereof and say all. Even m
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- 0ttUnu ot
aces as exceed those that were Qoitm ona
constructed by his father, who cai"
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 fath
ers. His strong men are mightiest, and Samson
is proud in his greatness, and a 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 tho land
never knew- ( 1
