WISER THAN A WIZARD.
A Rare Combination of Natural History, Folk-lore, Charade, and Riddle,
with Prizes to those who Unravel Most of the Forty Queer Questions.
Once there lived a very wicked King, a brother of the original
Bluebeard. (1) He had an only daughter called Minnehaha. (2) She was a
very obedient girl in every respect save one--she would not hearken to
the suit of Harry Hotspur, (3) whom her father had determined she must
marry. Continuing in her refusal, her father threatened to imprison her
in the Plenty Perplexing Puzzle Palace, known as the Four Pi's, (4) the
residence of the English Merlin. (5) Finally a compromise was
effected--the princess was to marry that man, be he prince or beggar,
who should present a query to the King's Wizard which he could not
answer. If, however, the Wizard did answer correctly, the propounder of
the query was to lose his head.
