Furthermore, when Sanuiel liad left off speaking;, one of tlie sons of the jirophets rose n]i, whose name was Dean, but lii name was Waller at the first. Now. Uean was a tjreal man and a big man. and the Freshmen were amazed and feared exceedingly at his words, for he did also exiioinid the law and ])lead much with these people to keep the law of the scliool. 1jut they were as deaf men, and they went their way. Notwithstanding.

And it came ti. pass also, in the fourth year of the reign of Samuel. that the tribe of nineteen-seven crossed over into the land of the Sophs and drove llieui out. and occu])ied their land, and Post reigned in the stead of Prophet. . n(l Post walked not after the manner of I ' roffet. but trusted his own wisdom, wliicli accordingly lie led his people into much wrong and caused them to annoy the Faculty greatly. Now, some of the tribe of niiu ' tet-n-sexc-ii bad departed from us, while men of the other tribes cast their lot wi th us. Tlierefore, Post called the men of his tribe together and commaiuled them to prepare a large shot with a large ' 07 on it. and about the twelfth watch of the niglit to put it on the Hag-jrole on tlie cujjola, then to lock tlie door and plug the kev-liole. and also get some paint and iiaint all those posts and sidewalks around here, which was done accordingly. Now. when the night was gone, ' Samuel saw this flag, and knew not what it meant. ,so he drew nigh, and saw that it was the flag of ' q-. and it pleased him not. and lie went up and hurled it down, saying: Let no class tlag tloat (23)

THE BOOK OF THE PROPHETS CHAPTER I. AOW, it came to pass in those days in the fall of nineteen hundred and three, fl in the third year of the reigii of Samuel, that a mighty host fled before 4 the face of the band of 1907. and Ijcqueathed unto them their possessions in the land of Mary. For it had been rumored in the regions round about these parts that a Class should come whose wisdom should far surpass any that had as yet been in that land, and whose praises the other classes were unworthy to sing. Now. when the Class of one thousand and nine hundre d and three jour- neyed the space of three months, behold, this Class did come, as was noised abroad ; and it was on the very first da - of the third year of the reign of ' • Samuel, about the eighth hour, that this caravan arrived, and they came up from the four quarters of the earth, even from the distant lands of the North to the remotest borders of the South, and from Italy beyond the sea. And Samuel, beholding this vast multitude, was greatly pleased, and he wore a goodly countenance. At this time thev all went into the house where they were wont to meet, as was their custom, and the other tribes looked on even with wonder when the Freshman tribe came in, and they all murmured and said, Whence came these? And the men of ninetcen-six, even as one man, did gaze and stare at them exceedinglv, for thev were sore distressed, and they waxed wroth, and great envv seized them. Whereupon Samuel, seeing that a strife had risen among them, commanded that the tribes be separated, which was done accordingly, and thev went every man unto his own seat : and the tribe of nineteen-seven numbered about thirty and two. Now, it came to pass that certain of the other tribes went out to view these men. and the ' were greatly troubled and trembled much ; for they saw even afar off that they were strong and mighty men, such as Big Sam, of the tribe of Sampson, and Frederick, one of the minor Prophets, and Brig, the son of Zacchacus, and James the younger, and Taylor, surnamed Sin, and Guigou, (22)

' And the men of nineteen-seven fled, lest he should lay hold on iheni : but he wist not to this day who hoisted the flag. . nd the other tribes would fain have taken this flag down, but they knew not what hour the men of nineteen-seven might come down n])on them; so they ventured not out. and it was well. CMAPTKR in. Xow, likewise it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Samuel that the men of nineteen-six waged war on this self-same tribe whom they had jjreviously driven out. and again the tribe of nineteen-six fled before them, and the tribe of nineteen-seven went in and passed the Junior land, and Queen Nell reigned in the place of Post, who was rejoiced by all. Therefore, in the very first part of the year there was handed to these many large books liy the Faculty, and the - were very attentive thereto, and turned from their evil way. and gained much knowledge and wisdom therefrom. And the Faculty looked on them and saw that they were a jealous people, and they remembered those evils against them no more, and the tribe of nine- teen-seven took knowledge of this, and did strive more earnestly to please the Faculty : and they found favor with the Faculty. At this time there entered the court one who greatly pleased the men of nineteen-seven, Phoebus, surnamed Pobus. The tribe, therefore, looked up to him. for he was a man of good understanding. Now, therefore, the end of the year was nigh at hantl. and the Faculty looked u])on the reign of Queen Nell, and it was a good one. CHAPTER TV. .So. in the last year of the sojourn of the tribe of nineteen-seven in the land of Maryville they again went up against the tribe of nineteen-six, and drove them from the land, and they went in and possessed, and they ruled over the other tribes whom the - had left behind. Xow, therefore. Queen Nell would rule no longer, because her people were a hard nation. I ' ig Sam, therefore, fell heir to the throne, and he did rule with equity in the sight of all men. So, also, Mac was chosen scribe to keep (24)
