Certain of their number, feeling that the burden of years and the ever increasing weight of knowledge which they were constantly acquiring would prove too much for them and render them helpless before their enemies, chose as their chief a mighty man of learning and of valor, even a famous prize-tighter, and also thought to provide themselves with staves, on which to lean for support. But it came to pass that on the night when they were about to make use of their staves, the Regent Prexy, overcome by jealousy because he had none, and also moved to anger by the false accusations made by certain fellows of the more worthless tribes, who declared that the Not-ones had obtained the staves to stir up insurrec- tion and to torment their enemies, came to where the Not-ones had assembled, and with tears in his eyes and weeping in his voice made them ignominionsly put their staves aside. Moreover in those days there were some who attempted to set up the Not-one standard but were unsuccessful, and one of their number fell into the hands of Eberly Augustus. Thus they became a laughing stock tw their enemies and a shame to their friends. On the football held they were put dreadfully to flight and trampled on as before. At this season of the year when the pigskin was still chased about, it came to pass on a certain day, when the tribe of Simply Nothingsu had succeeded in defeating the Ninety-and-nines, that the above-mentioned valiant chieftain of the Not-ones sought to hold for a little while the banner of the Simply Nothingsf' which was merely a red rag on the end of a stick : while he was endeavoring to accomplish his purpose a valiant Amazon, who, though of small stature, was stout in heart and fierce in spirit, gave a shrill war-whoop and like a tiger leapt at the noble chief and falling upon his neck utterly vanquished him. And thus the second year of their hab- itation in the Kingdom was brought to its close. Now in the third year, the Kingdom passed from the hands of the Regent Prexy to the famous King I mean business, Thumpthetable I-Iolden. Inspired by his example -the Not-ones determined to mean business and on the foot- ball held defeated two tribes that come up against them. Their chieftain in this year was a tall man, wise and of good counsel. Also they decided to make themselves immortal by writing a book, in which all the affairs of the Kingdom should be described truly, and all the sins of the inhabitants thereof exposed and brought to ridicule. The book which you now read is the one whereof I speak and if you find your misdeeds brought to light be thankful that they were no worse : but if you find not your names therein, rejoice not, but be assured that your oifenses have been to dreadful and too many to mention. Thus endeth the third year of the habitation of the Not-one tribe in the Kingdom of I mean- business, Thumpthetable, Bluffthestudents Holden.
