Tribal Arabia has the only true form of democratic government, and the Arab tribesman goes armed to make sure that it continues democratic as many a would-be despot knows to his cost. They use these weapons to settle other disputes occasionally, but Christian cowboys still do so at times unless they have acquired grace and the barley-water habit.
From one to another fled the frightened blacks, while in the center of the village Numa stood glaring and growling above his kills. At last a tribesman flung wide the gates of the village and sought safety amid the branches of the forest trees beyond. Like sheep his fellows followed him, until the lion and his dead remained alone in the village.
This is all my public news, unless you regard as touching on public affairs the fact that a certain Herennius, a tribune, and a fellow tribesman of yours a fellow as unprincipled as he is needy has now begun making frequent proposals for transferring P. Clodius to the plebs; he is vetoed by many of his colleagues. That is really, I think, all the public news.
'Because the bear is standing -in life a bear only stands when it is going to fight -and still he is only a head taller than the tribesman. I tell you, the bears of the north are much larger. 'Tribesman? In her haste she had failed to note the two fur-clad Neanderthals which stalked it, spear in hand, from behind a group of rocks.
Husein's difficulty was to get his own people to rise together and throw off the Turkish yoke, for the Hejazi tribesman, especially between the coast and Mecca, has long been more of a brigand than a warrior, as any pilgrim will tell you.

From that time on the long knives came into frequent play and a direct course was maintained. Suddenly, with a grunt of warning, the tall tribesman stopped.
Any wandering stranger or enemy tribesman taken in a raid before that day would meet such a fate. On unlucky years when people were not available a deer or wolf might serve. But the best sacrifice of all was a man. So Lurgha had decreed from the air that traders were his meat? What of Ashe? Let any hunter from the village track him down.
So he appears before Joshua, accompanied by the head men of his tribe, whose presence expresses their official consent to the exceptional treatment of their tribesman, and urges his request in a little speech, full of pathos and beauty and unconscious portraiture of the speaker.
Once a wild tribesman who had secured a handsome lead almost lost the race by taking off his cloak and waving it round his head as he gave ear-piercing shouts of triumph. The Arab riding second was less emotional and attended better to the business in hand, but his horse was not quite good enough to make the difference. The scene at the race-course was a gay one.
