MY VISIT TO THE GRIST-
: MILL.
IA True Story


Last summer. when friend took me
TO a grist mill, had a fine time. went
all through the mill and the miller showed
mo how the corn was put into the hop
per, and was ground up and came out
meal. / put my hand into the meal as
1T came out, and 1t was so hot that It
almost burnt my hand. He also showed
me how wheat was ground into flour.
To make the flour real fine like we buy
in tho stores, they sft 1t through boiling
cloth. The miller gave me little piece
OF the boiling cloth to bring home. After
he showed us all over the mill, he took
us into his office and showed us his desk
where little jenny Wren had made her
a nest in one Of the pigeon holes OF the
desk and had laid four little eggs in It,
After we returned to the city the miller
came to see US. The first thing I asked
him was how was jenny wren and her
eggs. He told me instead OF four eggs
eggs she had four baby brides in her
nest, and the papa bird was kept busy
bringing them food. I guess now they
are all big birds, and each have nest OF
their own. DOROTHY CHURCH,

was an unripe yellow. In few days
1t became quite red, and was perfect.
One day when the sun was shining hot
a childish voice rang out, "Oh, what a
pretty one" and soon 1t found itself in
a small bucket with a few others not
quite so red. 1t was soon carried TO a
beautiful house. There the cook poured
water upon 1t. AID 1t fioated and had
quite Jolly time. After soaking quite a
while, il was taken out of the bucket
and wiped carefully and then put into 4

put it in her mouth, and you can guess
that that is the end OF the cherry.
