As the wheel went round he made his wealth;
One hand in the hopper, and the other on the bag;
As the wheel went round he made his grab.

At the word "Grab" all must change partners, and while the change
is going on the miller has the opportunity given him of securing
a partner for himself. Should he succeed in doing so, the one left
without a partner must take the place of the Jolly Miller, and must
occupy the center of the room until fortunate enough to get another
partner.

RUTH AND JACOB

[Illustration]

One player is blindfolded, the rest dance in a circle round him till
he points at one of them. This person then enters the ring, and when
the blindman calls out "Ruth," answers "Jacob," and moves about within
the circle so as to avoid being caught by the blindman, and continues
to answer "Jacob," as often as the blindman calls out "Ruth." This
continues until "Ruth" is caught. "Jacob" must then guess who it is he
has caught; if he guesses correctly, "Ruth" takes his place, and the
game goes on; if he guesses wrongly, he continues to be "Jacob."
