N .V-fn. ON Qtigx A' INTRODUCTION King Shahriyar, Commander of the Faithful, when he saw that night was being let down from Heaven, ordered his slaves to summon unto him his bride, Shrahrazad. And then Shrahrazad came unto him, and she was like a shining, full moon, and a flowery garden. King Shahriyar rose up from his silken couch and spake unto her thus: Know ye, O my queen, I weary for a tale. Thus you may entertain me, for this is our last night together. My vow must be kept. At the dawn you must die. Then Shrahrazad bowed down before him and answered him thus, List, O beloved, Prince of the Faithful, unto the tale I tell. Far to the West, if the sages and prophets speak truly, beyond the setting sun, there lies a bountiful land. It is a land of smiling fields and pleasant valleys and is known as the land of Ala-Cla-Hi. Here reigns the Queen of Queens, Josephine Ibn Fassett fextolled be the perfection of her, the like the sun never shone uponj. The great and populous empire is governed by the noble Grand Wezir El Franklin A Black. Under him, assisting in the ruling of Ala-Cla-Hi, are the distributors of the faith, the twelve Emirs of the Empire. Ala-Cla-Hi is a rich and wonderful land. Her scholars are the wisest in the West, her armies know not the meaning of defeat. Her women warriors are omnipotent, her men are like the lion in their bravery. Green and gold is their banner, it is cherished with passionate loyalty. Ala-Cla-Hi as a whole is divided into four parts. In the first, dwell the Abu-Es-Seniors. Near by, across the river of Examinations, lives the Bedr-l- Juniors. Everywhere, filling the land, is the tribe of Ali-Ed-Sophomores. The fourth tribe, the Freshmen, lives back in the green hills of Obscurity. The eldest and most powerful of all the tribes are the Abu-Es-Seniors. They are the lords of the Empire, they sit in the councils of the mighty. They are the dignified elders, the wisest in Ala-Cla-Hi. Heirs to their mag- nificent vice-royalties are the glorious Bedr-l-juniors. They are the brilliant aristocracy, the cleverest, most cultured of Ala-Cla-Hi. Like unto the mer- chants of our Araby is the third class, the Ali-Ed-Sophomores. They are a bustling, energetic tribe, the moral support and the backbone of the great, rich land of Ala-Cla-Hi. They are everywhere, in the army, in the executive Great Council, and in all the organizations of the nation, Their one great gift is the ability to produce money from nowhere. Back in the mountains live the youngest of the sons and daughters of Ala-Cla-Hi. They are the Freshmen, who, as it is willed by the Fates, shall some day occupy the lands of the Abu-Es-Seniors.
