...Teeta-Wakee, 107-year old squaw, was accosted by a peddler. Rolling her rheumy eyes in coy alarm, she listened while the man attempted to persuade her that she needed a new pipe. When he fell silent she produced from her bosom a wooden object, notched, smoke-blackened, evil, stuffed it with tobacco, applied a match, puffed miasma into the peddler's face. She had smoked this pipe, she declared, for 65 years...
