INDIAN CENTENA NARIANS
Two Hundred and Ninety
Nine Years.

There can be no doubt that the three
oldest sisters in the United States
possibly in the whole world-are some
Indian women in San Diego county, in
southern California. The women are
Se-mui-lah (nleaning peacefully. Ming
lilo (meaning black-eyed) and Te-mes-
cal (meaning sharp at a bargain). Their
combined ages are 299 years. Se-mul-
lah is the eldest; she was 1o3 years old
last June. Ningio is 100 and Temescal
is the juvenile of the trio. She was 96
some time last summer. They are rem
nants of the Saboba tribe, who were a
part of the thousands of friendly saw
ages known in California as the Mis-
sion Indians, from the fact that they
voluntarily went under the fostering
care of the Franciscan missionaries in
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
tury and gave their children to the mis-
sionaries for instruction. These old
women are able to speak few word.
Willmar tribune., 1899-10-11

in England, but their talk is jargon
of Spanish and Indian. Each of them
has several score of descendants, says
the San Francisco Call.
There is not the least doubt among
the people in southern California who
have given any attention to these un-
commonly old sisters as to their ages.
That is matter of record in the musty
old registers in the archives of the mis-
sion at San Gabriel, in Los Angeles
county; also in a church census taken
in 1910 and now in the mission of Qua
dalupe, at the City of Mexico, where
nearly all the records of the California
missions were taken upon disestablish-
ment of the sRoinan Catholic missions
in 1882. There is.a record of the bap-
tism of Ramon Aguilan, a Saboba In
dian. under the charge of the mission
at San Diego. The record shows that
Ramon was the father of IA children.
The first was born in May, 1889. Se-
mul-lah was born in 1894 and Ning-lio
was the seventh child and born in 1899,
while little Temescal came in 1901.

RAMS TRAINED TO FIGHT.
Their First Horns Are Torn Out in
Order to Develop Stronger
Ones.

The natives of India are keen sports
men, in that they enjoy wagering on
the element of chance, and in Bengal
favorite sport is ram-fghting. A like
ly male lamb is chosen, when quite
young, and his training often extends
over 18 months to two years. The first
operation is to make him grow suitable
horns. To attain this end, when his
first horns appear the owner grasps
them in his teeth and tears them out
of their sockets. This operation has
to be repeated upon subsequent
growths two or three times. Then
the young champion develops really
massive pair, very broad at the base.
He is always chained, presumably to
make him pugnacious. When his horns
are sufficiently tough he is taught but
ting. His trainer dons a wooden shield
and the ram is taught to butt it, at
first with only short run. But as he
takes to his training he backs further
und further from the object, until the
legitimate distance is arrived at. By
this time he has begun to put such
force into his butts that it takes two
men to hold the shield, and good ram
will upset them at every charge. When
he is fit he is taken to match.
The trainers then straddlejtheir ami
mails, grasping them by the horns, and
bring them into the arena facing each
other about 40 feet apart. The word is
given, the trainers slip the animals,
and the rams precipitate themselves
forward at lightning speed, heads
down, quarters up. They meet with
laundering crash, the horns and
skulls changing as if they were metal.
The animals then back of their own
accord, and close again, with the same
awful impetuosity. Again and again
they close, until one Of the two refuses
to face the music. Then the victor
chases him from the arena. Golden

GOLF AS A TEMPER TEST.
A Luckless Player Demoustrates
How Easy 1t IL to Control
Ones Self.

A golf story which should certainly be
added to the already excellent number to
which the game has given birth possesses
an advantage which cannot be claimed for
all of them, that Of being absolutely authen-
tic. An enthusiast, who was somewhat of a
tyro at golf, though of great distinction at
other forms of athletics, had series of mis-
fortunes with which most people can sympa-
thize. He was playing against man whose
opinion, he valued, and he consistently topped
his ball, sliced it, pulled it, lifted it into
tree, played fine cleek stroke into bunker,
and made extraordinary straight long dis
tance puts in which the ball hoped genially
across the hole into the long grass which
skirted the green.
AT, first the players demeanor was omi.
nously sweet; he seemed positively to enjoy
his strokes; then he grew mad; then he grew
apparently careless, though his caddie no.
he was pressing horribly. The worst of golf
is that you can never deceive either your
caddle or your ball. At last, at the seventh
hole, he grew wonderfully calm, and marched
Oh to the next teeing ground, remarking to
his trembling caddie that he would not
trouble to hole out. After an easy prelim-
mary swing or two he topped his ball, which
trickled away about 20 yards to the right.
Then the man took all his clubs and broke
them one by one across his knee, remarking
quietly to his opponent that "it is better to
break your Internal clubs than to lose your
internal temper. ."-London Telegraph.

COMMERCIAL WIT.
A Parcel of Puns That Were Worked
OF All Right But They
Didn't Take.

Four travelling men sat on the sidewalk
in front of the Windsor the other night tell
ing stories. The man who smoked stogies
had just finished somnambulist tale.
Reminds me of what the pickpocket said
to his fellow-prisoner," commented the man
with the nasal blossom.
''What was that?"
II am here, gentlemen" he said, "as the
result of moment of abstraction
The pun fell with dull, sickening thud.
But the man who smoked stogies came to
the front again.
''Like the incendiary, eh? There is some
similarity. He was there because of his
habit of making light Of things
The blossomy man refused to be silent.
"But did yo99, hear about the forger?"
"No. Why"
"He was there on account of simple de-
sire to make name for himself"
The man with the stogie meditated.
"That reminds me of the burglar" he
casually remarked. There was three-min
ute stage wait and the man who liked apple
jack gave way to curiosity.
"Why?"
GAS he said, through nothing but taking
advantage of an opening, which offered in &

Mrs. Van Ripper sat down and took
out her new book, toying affectionately
with its pink pages. Then she tried one
of the pens. In the date line she wrote
''Thursday afternoon" in sprawling,
angular hand. In the space for the
check number she wrote the date. Then
she signed her name with flourish.
'Is this correct?" she inquired of the
young man at the window. He looked
it over with carefully suppressed
smile.
"Er-you've got the date in the wrong
place, but if you just write the amount
and the name Of the person you wish
to"
"Dear me; shall never understand
it," said Mrs. Van desperately.
"Shall I fill it out for you?" asked the
young man politely.
IF you will be so kind" said Mrs.
Van.
"To whose order?" asked the clerk.
20, it doesn't really matter" said
Mrs. Van Ripper.
ITO the order of the bearer, shall ]

"That will do very nicely"
"Now the amount-what shall it be ?''
II don't care," said Mrs. Van. "You

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If there is one thing on which the
housewife prides herself, it is that of
having her laundering done nicely, so
that the wearing apparel may be the ad-
miration of all. The washing is small
matter, any one almost can do that, but
to have the linens present that flex-
ible and glossy appearance after being
ironed requires fine quality of starch.
