"Oh, let him get it off his mind," advised Jack. "What does it remind you of?"
"It reminds me of the hunter that came over here from New York last fall and met old Uncle Zac Williams back in the country and asked him if there was any hunting around here.
"'Plenty of it," said Uncle Zac.
"'Where is the best place to go?' asked the hunter.
"'Oh, mos' anywhere,' said Uncle Zac; 'yo' can't miss hit.'
"So the hunter went on, and that night as he was going home he met
Uncle Zac again.
"'Hello!' he said, 'ain't you the man that told me there was plenty of hunting around here?'
"'I reckon I be,' replied Uncle Zac.
"'Well, I've hunted all around here and I haven't seen the first thing to shoot.'
"'Waal, ther wasn't nothin' ther matter with ther huntin' was ther?' said Uncle Zac."
