INDIAN TELLS HOW TO *
LIVE FOR HUNDRED YEARS
Ouicha, an Indian whose age is
either 104 or 114 declares, that long
levity is the result of one’s ability not
to worry, to obtain plenty of good
“firewater,” and to have a rattlesnake
as one’s nightly bedfellow. The Indian
emigrated from Mississippi to Arkan
sas during the days of the great dry ♦
spell in Mississippi, which occurred in
1834. He was then either 14 or 24
years old.
Today he lives in a rudely construct
ed cabin on the land where his father
settled almost 100 years ago. His only
companions are a hog and a snake, c
which, strangely, appear to be quite
content with each other’s company.
Every night the snake crawls over
and curls itself close to the Indian’s
body.
