WHY
Visitors to East India Some
times Offend Caste Pride

In the face of the debasing beggary
one meets with at every turn in India,
the inviolate pride of caste offers con-
slant surprises. 4 man who would beg
bakshish from you with whining servil-
ity would scorn to accept food pol
luted by your touch. He would throw
1t away if your shadow had contain
mated it. ! remember a wonderful
morning at Benares when l was being
rowed up and down the GangeS at
that early golden hour when thou
sands of pilgrims from all over India
crowd the steps leading down to the
river, singing religious songs as they
cast garlands of orange flowers out
upon the breast of Mother Ganga,
and descend and immerse themselves
in her sacred water. AS our boat
gEded along close to the bank, 1 saw
a holy man with Ganges mud smeared
over his face, sitting crOss-legged in a
little temple and eating rice out of a
brass bowl. He happened to glance
up, and with an expression of startled
horror seized his bowl and jumped
back to the farther end of his narrow
stone shelf. 1t was only then l no
ticeu the shadows of the rowers and
myself passing horizontally across the
floor where he had been sitting. On
another occasion, the very courteous
English resident Of the native state
of Jaipur was taking me through the
Jaipur model prison. When he came
to inspect the kitchen arrangements,
the Indian superintendent pointed out
that one end was partitioned off so
that the food of the high caste prison
ers might be cooked apart from that
of the others. Even then, it had to be
carried through the same court, and
so a man always walked ahead,
sprinkling the ground with sacred
Ganges water in order to insure puri-

II Was Embarrassing.

A handsome and wealthy young man
from the East, visiting in the small
town where my aunt lived us a girl,
seemed interested in her and she was
doing her best to outshine the other
girls of the town.
With her hair done up in curriers'
and her stylish instep length skirt
draped carefully to one side, she lay
resting In the outdoor hammock one
quiet summer day. Suddenly startled
by the creaking of the gate and the
unexpected appearance of the city lad,
she overturned the hammock, which
became wrapped about her knees and
held her long legs straight up In the
air. The young man. CALAMITY enough,
rushed to her rescue; but she never
saw him again.-Chicago Tribune.
