Our Smelter.

By Madeline Cohn. Aged II Years. lSla
Park Avenue, Omaha Red Side.
The name ! have given to my story
seems rather peculiar. but It Is Just q
little reminder that the great smelter in
as We are Omaha people. let us dis
tinguish this feature from the same Of
other cities by "our smelter.
Not long ago l was fortunate enough
to gain admittance to this place. Rather
my father and mother, who took my
brother and sister and friend and my
self to see It, The manager took US
around and explained all.
We first went to the room where the
days output OF silver was. There were
over eighty cakes Of silver, each cake
about six times the size OF brick, and
each weighing seventy pounds. 1t seemed
to be light until you tried to lift 1t, but
lift IT we could not The metal was soft,
and we saw the man take hammer and
some metal stamps and pound the i'm
preston on them.
When We left the manager said they
put out more silver in one day than
Germany and Austria put together. As
they alternate, gold today, silver tomor-
row, we did not see any gold fixed.
We next visited room IN which they
were making bi-product called blue
vitriol By-products are the mixing to-
gether OF the leftovers OF the other min
erals. When the good Is taken away
from by-products, nothing is left but
stone. This is thrown away and called
Stag. The blue vitriol comes in little

that they are rough and irregular.

where they make lead. We saw the
furnaces pour forth the liquid lead, which
looked like red stream OF fire. There
is whole line OF molds connected with
chains and constantly moving past the
fork Of pipes which fills six at a time
and is then lifted to wait for the next
six; then up and down a little arrange
ment that looks like roller coaster.
These chains Of molds work like the
chains on a bicycle. On the side op-
posite to the filling (since they become
hard before they reach this place. the
chain is turned over and a man with a

Experience Of q Grain Of Wheat.
BY Sarah Dindale. Aged is Years, West
Point, Neb. Red side.

BY Sarah Dindale. Aged 10 Years, West
Point Neb. Red Side.
Once when ! was a little kernel OF
wheat a farmer put me in a big machine
and threw me In the dark ground. There
was nearly smothered and could not
see. One bright summer day the sun was
very hot so I thought would push away
the sand and come out
One day / became quite green and !
was already three feet high when the
farmer came and cut my head off.
oh! though that was something ter
rible; but that was not all. / was thrown
with straw and dirt into a wagon.
About week later they threw me
from the wagon into a large machine
which made very much noise.
Then was cast Into q big trough
from which a slipped into a nice, clean
wagon. At that time / was feeling Just
fine.
Now / thought was so grand but did
not have time to think long befo.> was
placed in a big machine and ground into
a white powder and dropped into a sack.
The miller put me In q wagon and took
me to the store. enjoyed myself very
much hearing little children and seeing
them doing their shopping.
Early one bright morning I was taken
off the shelf and placed in q grocer's
wagon. The grocer took me and sat me
In kitchen and from there was placed
In a pantry. I stayed In the PANTY quite
q while. when the naughty mice came
and bit holes in the sack.
One morning the cook shook me into
a sieve. She mixed me with some sticky
stuff which they called yeast. Then she
put some water and salt on me.
The water felt fine. but the salt felt
very funny. She took me In her hands
and started to push me this way and
then that. Soon the cook made me long
and narrow and put me in a pan.
I though after such hard life that my
trouble would be over, but aiasl she laid
me on the warm stove. though surely
/ should burst. but did not. She then
placed me in an awfully hot place and
shut the little door on me. II was very
hot in there. Soon she looked at me and
was brown. During all this time I
suffered terrible pain.
She then took me out of the pan and
put me on a plate 20 cool.
After while the children coming home
from school saw me and explained: ''oh!
what beautiful bread. am so hungry"
Then taking n large carving knife she
cut me in about dozen pieces and put
the rest OF me away.
The children were quite delighted when
they smelled fresh bread and ran and put
jelly on me.
They ate me UP and that was the end
Of my merry life.
