IMPORTANT TO KNOW ONESELF
only by That Means Can the World
Be Understood.

Who have lived The most common

Emperor Aurelius. A soldier. a states
man, an administrator of the highest
ability! And yet n man to whom the
highest worth was the capacity so
to see the complicated facts OF life
in their true relation as to be able to
live tranquil in any circumstances. An
other person with grand simplicity
was the slave Epictotus. The one
teaches us that a man can live as he
roically in palace as in church,

lowly estate is no bar to the pro.

AGED INDIAN WOMAN DIES.
Picturesque Squaw Whose Father
Hunted with Lewis and Clark.

"Old Lady Michel" as she was IA
miliarly known, was for a score, of
years one of the curiosities of seaside
TO summer visitors, says the Portland
Oregonian. Her death last Saturday
came suddenly, for she had been as
busy as ever making Indian baskets,
in which she did a rushing business
during the summer months. She has
claimed 100 years as her age for some
time, but so far as can be learned she
was SO when death came.
1t is doubtful if any person. man or
woman, in the state of Oregon, has
been photographed SO frequently as
has Jennie Michel. Every visitor
with camera wanted a picture of the
withered, wrinkled old crone whose
father hunted with Lewis and Clark
Many basket did she sell at fancy
price, which was gladly paid for the
photograph privilege also. When
summer visitors were far more un-
common and other Indians much more
common than now the old woman. in
company with other squaws, was
among the first to dig clans for the
Portland market. At that time a
number of Indian families occupied
a group of shanties near the banks
of the Obanna, a mile from Seaside.
One by one the other natives died off,
but "Old Lady Michel held on.
Tsin-is-tum was the Indian name of
Lady Michel. Her first husband was
a chief of the Nehalem tribe and her
second husband French-Canadian
named Michel Martineau. She took

Social Equality in Cambridge.

Before Longfellow bought the house
in Cambridge so associated with his
memory it was owned and occupied by
old Mrs. Craigie.
Mrs. Craigie was woman OF many
eccentricities, Moncure ID. Conway
says in his recent book of "Reminis-
cences."
Some one tried to persuade her to
have her trees tarred to protect them
from caterpillars, which also invaded
her neighbor's trees.
She refused to be so cruel to the
caterpillars.
They are our fellow worms" she
said.-Youth' Companion.
