The Wise Indian.

There has been quite a little said about the grafter taking advantage of the Indian. It is not always thus. A land man who wanted an Indian’s signature to a deed told tue Indian, who was suffering with toothache, to go to a dentist and have his teeth fixed, and said that he, the grafter, would pay the expense, xhe grafter did this to jolly the Indian into signing the deed. The Indian returned from the dentist’s with $238 worth of gold crown in bis head. The land man paid the bill. Whether the Indian signed the deed Is not necessarily a part of the story.—Kansas City Journal.
