A TRUE STORY.

Old Dapple was so tired when hay
ing time was over that grandpa said
he should rest whole week, with
oats for dinner every day.
You're the faithfulest old fellow"
grandpa said, warmly stroking Dap
pies old nose back and forth-back
and forth, lovingly. 'Now you shall
have holiday and MUNICH hay instead
OF rake it, Wait; I'll trundle the big
rake under the NOW, out of your
sight, so you'll forget there was ever
any such thing in the world as work"
Then grandpa went in to dinner
with grandma and The Twins every
body called them The Twins, with cap
ital rs in their voices when they said
it.
1t was quite late in the afternoon
when grandpa asked The Twins to
lead out old Dapple to water.
Let him stay and drink as long as
ne wants to-" he called after them.
You needn't wait-he knows the way
hack home"
So old Dapple stood and drank his
NIL of the clear, sweet water, and The
Twins ran back to their play. But
IL wasn't long before grandpa saw
them coming toward him at a scamp
er. Both their faces were excited,
and they shouted in a little, breath
less chorus-The Twins usually spoke
in chorus-"O, grandpa, grandpa!
quick! look up in the moving field,
Old Dapple's up there rakin' hay all
alone, "thout any rakein' hay all
He's goin' back and forth and back
and forth like everything."
And when grandpa got up on his
"tur-offs" and looked, sure enough
there was faithful old Dapple up in
the moving field, patiently trudging
up and down, making neat turns at
the end of every BOUT" His tired
old legs wavered unsteadily, but kept
on. The afternoon sunshine lay on
his rough back and dazzled his old
eyes on the return trips, but he never
thought Of stopping.
Something suddenly dimmed grand
pas "fur-offs,' and he took them off.
Faithful old fellow" he muttered.
60 lead him back children, and give
him oats for his supper"
And how The Twins Rugged him
While they were doing it.-Constance

FATHER, MOTHER AND TWO Chill.
DREN DIE BY ASSASSIN.
SONS GRAVE SUSPICION
Only Survivor Reluctant to Talk, but
Suggests Violent Temper of the
Father as Solution of the Mystery
Robbery and Revenge Theories not
Relied Upon.

Auburn, Cal, Nov. 12.-It is now
known that julius Weber, his wife,
their 19-year-old daughter Bertha and
their son Paul, aged IA, were murdered
Thursday night by an unknown assas-
sin, who set fire to the home in an eff
fort to cover his crime. Before the fire
had made any great Roadway, the
bodies of the murdered woman and
her two children were rescued from
the burning house,
Examination of the bodies showed
that Mrs. Weber and the children had
been murdered before the fire had
been started. The daughter had been
killed by pistol wound, as had been
Mrs. Weber. On the boys head were
shot.
All efforts to reach julius Weber,
the father, who was not thought to be
in the burning house, were abandoned
until yesterday, when a search was
made in the burning timbers and his
body found in the bathroom of the
dwelling. He, too, had been shot
down before being left to be consumed
by the flames.
Mr.. Weber's body was so badly
burned that it has been impossible to
ascertain how often he was shot.
One peculiar circumstance is that
while the bodies of mother and daugn.
ter were burned to some extent the
apartment in which they were lying
was not on fire when the firemen
broke in, which showed they had been
killed in some other portion of the
house, partially burned and then
dragged into the room where they
were found. The robbery theory is
about exploded, as no incentive has
been found. Adolpn Weber, a son,
aged 20, who is the only member of the
family alive, talks but little, but to
the coroner and sheriff he said he did
not think the motive was either rob-
berry or revenge. When asked if he
had theory he said he had, but would
not give it. He did say, reluctantly,
that his father had violent temper.
The boy said he left home about $50
and came down town, purchased a pair
of trousers and did several other err
rands. When he went to the fire he
dropped his old trousers, which were
in bundle, in the burning building.
Young Weber has a good reputation.
Two 22-calibre revolvers were found
but the bullets extracted from the
bodies were SO.

HAY TO REMAIN
IN THE CABINET

Washington, Nov. 12.-President
Roosevelt made the announcement yes
terday that John Hay would continue
as secretary of state during the four
years beginning March 4.
You may state positively" were his
words, that Mr. Hay will continue as
-ecretary of state until the fourth or
March, 1909"
The president was asked regarding
other possible cabinet changes, but in
dicated that there was nothing to be
said at present. His announcement
regarding Secretary Hay was made to
a number of newspaper reporters in
his office late in the afternoon. Secre-
tary Hays succession to the state de.
partment portfolio fixes the most i'm
portant place in the new cabinet ana
is the first and only step so far taken
ir that direction.

A BUSY BEE.

In The Evangel we are told of the
amount of work which busy bee will
accomplish in one day Every head
of clover consists of about sixty flower
tubes, each of which contains a very
small quantity of sugar. Bees will
often visit hundred heads of clover
before returning to the hive, and in
order to obtain the sugar necessary for
load must, therefore, thrust their
tongues into 5000 different flowers. A
bee will make twenty trips a day
when the clover patch is convenient to
the hive, and thus will draw the sugar
from 10000 different flowers in the
course of single days work.
