ADlEU.

With b sad heart, o love, I say
The words that cause me bitter pain
With h sad heart I go away
Who knows, shall I return again?
And yet, o love, they must be spoken,
Tho lives are wrecked and hearts are broken
And so, adieu, my love, adieu,
Believe me, l can say no more;
My life is full of love for you
1t holds within no other lore.
And yet, o love, l say adieu
To keep the world and give up you.
And many q day and many a night,
The heart will ache and tears will blind,
For all my life and its delight
Are in the world 1 leave behind;
And so, adieu, my love, my own
face the bitter world alone.
But you will miss me, will you mott
Mayhap as much as I will you;
It's not SO easy as you thought
To say "Adieu, my love, adieur'
For If we stop to count the cost
Without theo one the others lostl

price for wheat-even September wheat =
yet less than hundred years ago it could
not have been grown for that money. For
then America had not binder, reaper,
nor even a fve-fngered cradle; the reap
hook was the harvest implement. The
harvester gathered his left hand full of
wheat and cut through it with smart
blow of the sickle, dropping the swath Or
derly behind him. After him came a boy
who gathered the handfuls into bundles,
and after him smaller boy, the band drop
per, who left with each armful band
which had been made by the men too old
for severe labor by knotting together the
heads of two strands of about dozen wheat
stalks each. Then came binders and
shockers, and after the grain was cured it
was either stacked or hauled to the barn to
await convenient season for threshing.
This the best farmers accomplished with
fails upon threshing floor, but the bulk
of them trod out their crops by riding
horses round and round over the heads
spread in a ring upon beaten earth. Then
it was winnowed dropping from a height
upon a windy day, then carefully washed,
dried in the sun, picked over by hand as
the housewife now picks rice, and sent to
mill to make flour that was only eaten
upon high days and olidays. No wonder

Why old Laces Are Valuable.

Many of our girls do not know why old
lace is often so much more valuable and
generally so much more beautiful than new
lace. The fact is, says Golden Days, that
the valuable old lace is all woven in lost
patterns. 1t is frequently as fine as spi-
der's film, and cannot be reproduced. The
loss of patterns vas severe check to lace
making in France and Belgium, and was
occasioned by the French revolution. Be-
fore that time whole villages supported
themselves by lace making, and patterns
were handed down from one generation to
another. They were valuable heirlooms,
for the most celebrated weavers always had
as many orders as they could execute in a
lifetime, and they were bound by an oath,
taken on the four gospels, to work only for
certain dealers. When the reign of terror
began all work of this kind was interrupted
for time After the storm had subsidized,
the dealers and workers were far apart
some dead, some lost, and some escaped to
foreign lands; and such of the women as
remained were bound by their oath to work
for hit one; and this oath, in spite of Robe
spierre's doctrines, was held by the poorest
of them to be binding, and there were in
stances where they suffered actual want
rather than break their word Some, how
ever, taught their children and their grand
children, and many patterns were in this
way preserved. Some of the daintiest and
finest patterns were never recovered, and
to-day specimens of these laces are known
to be worth their weight in gold.
