134 Years Old and Still Handsome:: The World's Oldest Man. Meet Ka-Be-Nah-Gway-Wence (Wrinkled Meat)--known to tourists as plain John Smith, of Cass Lake, Minn. Ka-Be-etc., recently celebrated his 134th birthday party and some think he may be even older than that--as the skin on his face is almost ossified. The aged buck is veteran of nine marriages and six battles with the Sioux. He has the war bonnets of five Sioux Chiefs whom, he says, he killed, Ka-Be came out of the Canadian northwest and settled in Cass Lake 10 years ago.
