MATTER OF CASTE FEELING
Real Reason for Custom Of Indians
and Asiaties Travelling Always

When the Indians travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast. but followed one an
other in single file. II has been thought
by some that this practice resulted
from the hack OF roads, which com.

woods by paths.
II this were the real reason for the
practice. then we should expect TO find
that the tribes who lived in open coun.
tries Travelled in company, as do
whites
The true reason for journeying. as
the Indians did. in single file, seems to
be feeling of caste. This feeling was
