INDIAN CENTENARIANS.
Three Whose Combined Ages Reach
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 (meaning peacefully, Ming
Ito (meaning black-eyed) and Te-mes-
cal (meaning sharp at bargain). Their
combined ages are 299 years. Se-mul-
lah is the eldest; she was 103 years old
last June. Ning-lio is 100 and Temescal
is the juvenile of the trio. She was 90
some time last summer. They are rem
nants of the Saboba tribe, who were
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
fury and gave their children to the mis-
sionaries for instruction. These old
women are able to speak few words
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 a 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 Roman Catholic missions
in 1882. There is record of the bap-
tism of Ramon Aguilan, 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. Sc
mul-lah was born in 1894 and Ning-lio
was the seventh child and born in 1899,
while little Temescal came in 1901.

THE BISHOPS GLADLY"
From the Travelling Bag the Porter
Thought That He Had Left
Her Behind.

Bishop Huntington once went down
to town in Connecticut to perform a
marriage ceremony, which had a ludi-
crous finale for him, says the Washing
ton Post. He arrived the day before
the wedding, and he left at the same
time the bridal pair did, although he
was driven to a different railway sta
ton. AS he passed through the sta
ton, carrying his travelling bag, he
was creating sensation, but was to-
tally at loss to account for it. In the
car he found that he was still the OBJ
ject of amused attention. The porter
positively snickered as he passed his
seat, and finally just as the train drew
out he came up and assisted the church.
man to remove his overcoat.
What is the matter with you, my
MANI" asked the bishop. The porter's
smoker broadened into a laugh.
"Ain't you done lef' the lady, sah?''
he chuckled.
Emp exclaimed the bishop in sur
prise. Then his eye fell on the side
of his travelling bag, which the porter
had just turned round. There, glued
to it, was a wide strip of white satin
ribbon, on which was painted in large
letters:
Married this morning"
The facetiously minded best man had
mistaken the bishops travelling bag for
that OF the bridegroom, and chuckline
black porter worked late into the night
removing that ribbon.

AWoNDER UL CONSERVATORY
That of the White House Is Cor'
Quoted on Very Large
Scale.

More than a dozen employees are re-
ouired the year round to care for the
white house Conservatives They are
under the direction of Henry Pfster, d
horticulturist and botanist, who has
been for almost a quarter of century
in charge of the nations floral domain.
The Conservatives furnish the i'm
mense supply of towering plants and
shrubs required each year for the
adornment OF the white house grounds,
and more than $4,000 plants and bulbs
are produced each year for this pur-
pose alone. AS is we'll known there are
few more artistic examples of the land
scape-gardener's art than is afforded
by the grounds surrounding the home
of the president. Each year they par
take of a different character, and in
variably there is some touch of splendor
that seems to appeal with especial force
to the thousands of visitors who seek
the place. 1t is understood, of course,
that the corservatories are not open to
visitors, even when the president is alb
sent from Washington.
Two rather unique features of the
conservatory are found in the orange
grove and the pineapple-beds. Both
are rather diminutive, to be sure, but
the supply of fruit if not extensive is at
least excellent, and much relished on
the presidents table, writes Walden
Fawcett, in Woman's Home Companion.
