And blessings that march down the path.

We thank Thee, o Father for all that is

The sob of the tempest, the flow of the

For never in blindness, and never in vain,
Thy mercy permitted a sorrow or pain.
We thank Thee, o Father, for song and
for feast
The harvest that glowed, and the wealth
that increased;
Por never blessing encompassed earth's
child
But Thou in Thy mercy looked downward
and smiled.
We thank Thee, o Father of all, for the
power
OF aiding each other in life's darkest hour;
The generous heart, and the bountiful
hand,
Ard all the soul-help that sad souls under.

We thank Thee, O Father, for days yet to
For hopes that our future will call us to
Thee
That all our eternity form, through Thy
love

However far our children have

being pursued by mob of persons in

the Santa F'e station he overheard par
ties whispering about him which
sounded like threats, and related sew
eraI other incidents along the same
line. HaygOod requested that an Off
Ger be stationed at the depot that even

leave the city to enter the Western
university, near Kansas City, a negro

Haygood that an officer would be on

wants and HaygOOd departed Chief
McMillen concluded that Haygood had
a few wheels in his belfry and paid
no more attention to hte matter.
The negro by the way, big strap

got off at Topeka, as the following dis
patch published in the Evening Citizen

show that Haygood was insane at the
time he called upon the police here:

was surprised while attempting to rob

slashed them both. Later, he attacked

whom he evidently mistook for police
