"No," maw told hiin.
" 'Bt'eoz.' paw red. 'one fills sis feet ;
and the uther fills an aiker.' "
"How do they do that?" says maw.
"Beooz they make a mistake." paw j
anserd.
"Which makes it'/" maw ast.
"Both of them." paw says. "Didn't ;
I just read it? That's why the mis- |
take the doekter makes ain't as Bad as j

"Why not?" maw ast.
"The doekter only Fills six Feat,"
paw ansered. "ail l th° Dentust fills an .

"I don't nnd< rstand :;!'Oiit the Feat."
maw Told him. "Why dues he ! il!

Didn't make Euny mistake. Then he
says:
"Why, yon see if a Doekter would

So he would fill Six feat of erth with
a man, Beeoz the man would lie About
six Feat long, you no."
"I don't see match to I.:iff at about

mite Be short."
"Oh, well." paw pays, "it Just says

"What does it mean by that?" maw
ast.
"That's the Joke," paw says.
"Which is?" maw Told him.
"Why, the aiker, you no." I'aw an

"Where are they enny joak about
That?" maw ast.
"The deJitnst Tills it, you no," paw
sed, but he Didn't seem to be very sure
about it by That time.
"Yes." maw Says, "but you sed he
made a mistake."
"Don't you No what an aiker is?"
paw ast "A tooth that you fill is an
aiker, you no, and they have aikers of

"But where Does the mistake come
in?" maw told him.
"Why, he Fills the rong one," I'aw
anserd, wiping his Brow and kind of
looking around like if he was trying to
see if the escape was all cut o!T.
"Well, then, how Does he Fill the
aiker," maw ast, "if the Tooth be Fills
Is a Good one and duzzent need To be
filled? It wouldn't be an aiker if It
was all rite, would it?"
Paw got up and Threw the Allman-
