IN SIMPLE PRAYER
Quotations From Matthias Clau-
dius-"A Letter to My
Friend Andrew"

Do you see, when l am going to
pray, | think first Of my late father,
how he was so good and loved SO well
to give to me. And then l picture to
myself the whole world as my fathers
house, and all the people of Europe
Asia, Africa and America are then, in
my thoughts, my brothers and sisters;
and God is sitting in heaven on a
golden chair, and has his right hand
stretched out over the sea to the end
Of the world, and his left full of bless
ings and good; and all around the
mountain tops smoke-and then be-
gin:
Our Father who are in heaven, hal
lowed be thy name"
Here l am already at fault. The
Jews are said to have known special
mysteries respecting the name Of
God. But l let all that be, and only
wish that the thought Of God, and
every trace by which we can recog-
nize him, may be great and holy
above all things, to me and all men
Thy kingdom come"
Here l = think of myself, how 1t
drives hither and thither within me-,
and now this governs and nov that;
and hat all is sorrow of heart and
l can light on no green branch. And
then l think how good it would be for
me if God would put an end to all
discord and govern me himself.
tETrhr Mill h. lana IN hoounn en- on
earth
Here l picture to myself heaven and
the holy angels who do his will with
joy, and no sorrow touches them, and
they know not what to do for love and
blessedness, and frolic night and day;
and then l think: if it were only so
here on earth!
Give US this day our daily bread"
Everybody knows what daily bread
means, and that one must eat as long
as one is in the world, and also that it
tastes good. 1 think of that Perhaps
too, my children occur to me, how
they love to eat, and are SO lively and
joyful at table. And then l pray that
the dear God would only give US
something to eat.
Forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors"
1t hurts when one receives al af
front; and revenge is sweet to man
1t seems to me, too, and my inclina
ton leads that way. But then the
wicked servant in the Gospel passes
before my eyes and my heart fails
and l resolve that l will forgive my
fellow servant and not say a word t
him about the hundred pence.
And lead US not into temptation.
Here l think Of various instance:
where people, in such and such cir
cumstances, have strayed from thu
good and have fallen; and that i
would be no better with me.
But deliver US from evil"
Here 1 still think of temptations
and that mar is so easily seduced ant
may stray from the straight path
But at the same time l think of al
the troubles of life, and the thousand
fold misery and heart sorrow that il

tears have not come before, they will
be sure to come here; and one cal
feel such a hearty yearning to b,
away and can be so sad and cas-
down in oneself, as if there wer
really no help at all. But then on
must pluck up courage again, lay tn
hand upon the mouth and continue
as it were, in triumph:
For thine is the kingdom and tn,
power and glory forever. Amen"

A FRIEND
ROBBERY
Considerable Excitement in Me-
Kenzie Over Resisting Officer

Last Sunday night, on the nine
O'Clock freight train on the road
between Mckenzie and Hico,
trouble arose between a man who
represented himself to be a brake
man on the train and three negroes
Nat Henry, John Young and one
other, of Mckenzie. The story
of the white man was that he found
the negroes on his train stealing
ride and that he told them the
first time the train slowed up they
would have to get off, that they
could not be allowed to ride, and
turned to leave when one of them
snatched his automatic pistol from
him and relieved him of six dollars
in money. When the train slowed
up at Hico, the three negroes jump
ed off and started back towards
Mckenzie.
Word was telephoned back to
Mckenzie for officers and GULL,
the city officer and Mr.. Marshall,
started towards Hico in search of
the negroes, GULL taking the rail-
road and Marshall the public road.
GULL met the negroes who sue
ceeded in Selling his automatic
pistol and proceeded to beat him
up. The negroes escaped. Search
for them was made by GULL Mon
day, also by Alden and Kearney of
Huntingdon, but they were unable
to locate them.
Later developments showed that
the white man was not brake
man at all, but just a hobo travel
ing with the negroes and got into
trouble with them.

OBION COUNTY TRAGEDY
Woman Makes Confession, Daugh.
ter Tells Story

Inc Obion county tragedy and
the Carroll county tragedy cause
people to stand aghast and won
der at, the wickedness Of the
human race even among our own
neighbors.
Mrs. James Yates, of Obion
county, became enraged at her
three step-children and attempted
to drown the whole bunch. She
succeeded, by the aid Of her daugh-
ter, in drowning the two oldest.
Ligon Yates, aged 10, and Ida May
Yates, aged 10. The third one
escaped and told the story.
According to the woman's story,
she lured the children away under
a pretense Of going blackberry
picking, and led them to a small
pool, some eighteen inches deep.
The elder boy struggled to escape
and chung to a bush. III the mean
time the girl ran for liberty but
was caught and brought back by
Floy Farris, daughter of the
Yates woman BY former husband.
While the drowning was under
way the younger boy, James,
aged six, escaped and ran a mile
to a neighbours and gave the
alarm. The elder boy put up a
brave struggle, as was indicated
by the many bruises upon his
/, body.
The woman claims that her hus-
band and step-children were mean
to her and that her act was in a
spirit Of retaliation. The mother,
after she was placed in Jail, for
several days, chung to an infant
child she carried in her arms,
fighting like a tigress when any
effort was made to take the child
from her. The Farris girl has
thrown the whole responsibility
of the terrible tragedy on her
mother ard seems to have no sym
pathy for her. The mother and
daughter are both in jail to wait
the action Of the circuit court.
The Farns girl says she was
forced to do what she did through
fear of the mother. She is 10
years old. Her confession as to
the horrible affair and her partici-
patton therein to company Of
neighbors who were keeping vigil
over the bodies of the two slain
children at the cabin home of the
Yates family, four miles from
Troy, on lonely hill, about one
half mile from the public road
conform with the facts given
above.

MURDERED
Mrs. John Green Killed BY Her
SOn-in-Law


urday of last week in the Seventh
district of this county near Jumbo
when David Wilder shot through
the heart, Mrs. John Green, the
mother of his wife, instantly kill
ing her.
David Wilder, a man now about
thirty-fye years Of age, came to
this country from Michigan a few
years ago and located in the
Seventh district. About two or
three years ago he was declared
insane and placed in the insane
asylum at Boliver. After remain
ing there some time he was dis
missed and came back home.
About a year ago, possibly not
50 long, he married the daughter
of John Green, a farmer Of the
same community. The wife is
quite young, apparently a fifteen
or sixteen year old girl. Several
weeks ago they separated, Mrs.
Wilder returning to the home of
her parents who lived quite near.
Wilder had been away from home
and Friday came to Huntingdon
and tried to hire conveyance from
the livery stable to go out home,
but seeing his condition the livery
man refused to let him have one.
Saturday morning, however, the
liveryman sent!him out home.
He went to the home Of his
father-in-law, finding his wife and
mother-in-law, made them 60
out with him into the orchard.
There he drew revolver upon his
wife and fired at her, so frighten-
ing her that she fell to the ground.
Her mother threw up her hands
and cried Don't kill my daughter"
Evidently thinking he had killed
his wife, Wilder turned with an
oath upon his mother-ln-law and
shot her through the heart killing
her instantly. The wife, however,
had not been touched, and got up
and started to run. Wilder fired
one or two shots as she ran, but
she escaped unhurt.
Mr.. Green being some little dis
lance away heard the shooting and
hurried to the scene. Wilder
fired two shots at him, but they
both went wild. Wilder then left
and went toward his own home.
Mr.. Wilder the father of the man
who did the shooting, who also
lived quite near, heard the shoot
ing and started to the home of the
Green's. On his way he met his
son and tried to get him to give
him bis pistol, but he refused, and
in the presence of his father took
the empty cartridges from his
pistol, reloaded it, and went on
toward his own home, the father
going on to the Green's.
The shooting occurred a little
after eleven o'clock Saturday
morning. Message was telephoned
here for Sheriff S. G. Alden who
with city marshall Kearney and
deputy sheriffs Rust, Kelly and
jolly, aided by citizens of the
community, made thorough search
of his home and the neighborhood,
searching Saturday afternoon and
night and Sunday, but no trace of
the man who did the shooting
could be found.
The funeral of Mrs. Green oc-
cured Sunday at the Blair bury
ing ground, conducted by Rev.
Alternately in the presence of a
large congregation. Mrs. Green
is survived by her husband and
only child, Mrs. David Wilder.
