But the result of the diplomat
ic squabble was the severance OF re-
lations and war was eagerly looked
forward to by both tribes The forces
OF the hero opposed to Epileptic. as
understand, were somewhat superior
to those of the latter leader. but that
did not In any way feaze his brave
followers. and they clamored eagerly
for the strife. They offered to make
any sacrifices and even the women
declared they would give up their
chewing gum IL only the general
would give them war.
But Epiieptic was a strategist and
he had grave doubts about the pros
rects of success. lie considered
loag time before he finally decided to
send his ultimatum, and this he did
rot do until he called all his war
riors together and told them 1t was
time to make good on their sacri'
flee talk.
In those days all the fighting, with
the exception OF bit of stone sling
ing and arrow shooting, was done
hand to hand. The archers and
singers were in bad, as it were, not
having the same social position and
Prestige as those who carried swords
and shields and mixed the fight. The
same relations existed as do today III
our army. with the engineers look
ing down on the infantry.
Now, when two armies then met
in a clash, they cIashed properly. All
the men wore long boards, as ycu
know, and the best mode of fight
ing WAS for one man TO grab the
other fighters beard, getting a good
grip on it. and with this hand held
use his sword TO good effect. Which
ever man got his fingers in a beard
first was most likely TO be the win
ner
But a brilliant idea struck Epilep-
tic, or whatever his name was. He
proposed to eliminate all handholds
on his men and in order to give the
enemy nothing to grasp. he ordered
all his men to shave on their luxu-
RANT boards. OF course, there was
much dissatisfaction and some tears
were shed, but the warriors had gone
so strong on the sacrifice talk that it
was too late TO hedge.
