years since brough! before a Justice OF the
peace on some charge or other, which do
not now recollect. John happened to be

directly TO the questions put by the justice,
merely muttered oul--you honor IS very
wise very wise very wIsc--y J. your hon.
or is very wise, | say.
Being unable 10 get any other answer
from him, the justice ordered him 10 be
locked up till the next day when John was
brought before him perfectly sober.
Why John, said The justice, you were
drunk as beast last night.
Drunk CALCULATED the Indian.
Yes, drunk as beast. When | asked
you any question, the only answer you
made was cur Ilonor's very wise-very
wise.
Did | call your honor ,oise said the Indi.
an, with look Of credulliy.
Yes, answered the magistrate.
Then, replied John, must have been
drunk, sure enough.
