JUNIORS THE BEQUEST OF CIVILIZATION By BEDSTEAD Chapter XL Juniorite Civilization 51. The Habits and Habitats of the Juniorites. 52. The Women of the Tribe. 53. The Head-Men. 51. The Habits and Habitats of the Juniorites In taking up the study of this tribe we are confronted with a difficult problem. This difficulty is due both to the lack of authentic material on the subject and to Note — The head piece shows a work of art dating about the year 1931 P. D. Q. and attributed to the Juniorite craftsman Oh-Dell, the younger. This masterpiece is entitled Muscle and, although the origin of the word is obscure, it is generally considered to be one of the local gods much worshipped by the male members of the tribe who often endured the most excruciating physical tortures to gain his favor.

the various ways in which this famous group differs from the more ordinary forms of civilization which we have studied, (cf. Cenior Civilization, Chap. X) As to location the Juniorites are similar to the less important tribes in that they also dwelt in a dunlap or local prison, under the harsh oppression of a clan known as Pteachers. There seems to have been no reason why this famous Juniorite group should submit to such cruel serfdom except for the halo of myths of great wisdom and power which surrounded their oppressors. Although they by far surpassed their contemporaries, the Juniorites were divided among themselves and there was great civil strife. Manuscripts have been found in which some unknown historian of this era has declared that there was Phriction and even Hard Feelin ' among various members of the tribe. These petty disputes usually arose over choice bits of food and we are given to understand that good food was rare and highly prized in the penal colony. It is apparent that the Juniorites were far superior to their rivals in battle, due, for the most part, to their extraordinary brawn and brain. These battles were fought by a small group of the men of the tribe, picked for their loyalty and valor, on a large open space provided for the purpose which was known in the dialect of the tribe as a grydyron. The chief warriors seem to have been two men called by their fellows Psewal and Blat-Che, both leaders of the tribe in battle although we may place the period of the former ' s command slightly in advance chronologically. 52. The Women of the Tribe The Juniorite women were famed far and wide for their great beauty and wisdom. They were much sought after by men from other tribes although often ignored by the warrior class of their own group. There was a very sacred cult in existence among the women of this tribe, known as Kiss-Proof. The main ceremony of the order consisted in applying war paint, and the god was worshipped several times in the course of a day. The High Priestesses of this cult were Mare-Yan-Ptomas and Pat-Tee. In a form of minor warfare, called in the speech of the time Hah-Kee, in which the women armed themselves with short clubs and sallied forth to do battle against the rival tribes, one Mare-Yan-Daw-Dey seems to have been the leader in command
