This is the first time l have had the pleas
ure of meeting you, but have known you

Riley blushed perceptibly as he aeknowl-
edged the greeting and walked away to the
house.
Inside there was peculiar scene. Riley
walked about inspecting the pictures and
mementOes which adorned the walls, and
Miller in his artless way ran over the list
OF the celebrated people who had sent him
the various souvenirs which were scattered
about.

test scenes on earth trimmed with the

RILEY AND MILLER.
The Poets Meet and Talk
1t All Over.
NYE'S Badness EXPLAINED.
The Two Bards Spent Day Looking
at Each Other and Discuss
ing People.

1t was unique priviege-that Of spend
Ing day with James Whicomb Riley and
JOAQUIN Miller at the California poets
home in the hills which overlook Oakland
and the bay.
1t is a quiet, peaceful place, just such
place in fact as you Wonld imagine man
like the Poet of tie Serras would select TO
live in. 1t is quiet and secluded, but near
enough to be in touch with the great world
that lies at its feet.
There Miller lives and works when the
mood is on him, and dreams his dreams
without a thought beyond the daily routine
of his existence.
1t was 10 o'clock when we left the Occi-
dental Hotel. according to previous arrange
ment, and took header in the direction Of
the ferry. Riley was in the best of moods.
and, as usual, laxative and interesting.
The only thing | object TO" he said,
with his gOod-natured smile. sis the pict-
ures of myself which see on every hand.
For some reason or another the artists
insist on portraylng me as being bald. l
haven't got much hair on top of my head,
to be sure, but there is enough TO save me.
land that. by the way, reminds me of
Bill Nye, who used TO explain that his bald
ness was hereditary.
"'You See,' he used to say to ME, I in
herited il from my father. BE was quite
young man when he WAS married TO my
mother, and he was bald and wore wig.
In later years l found that l had inherited
the bald head and my brother got the wig "
Then Riley talked about poetry and told
bow hard II was to succeed.
1T all looks very easy" he said, "but it
requires long and earnest labor to make a
name. So il is in every department OF lite
nature. There is Mark Twain, for instance.
who is, TO my mind, the most direct and at
the same time the hardest worker l ever
knew. AS a boy he learned very little
about the Bible except to know that it was
a task to read IL. He knew that he had to
learn so many verses each week and that ii
was a burden. A little later in life il be-
came necessary for him to know something
of biblical history and Mark went at it.
II was an awful grind, as you may well
imagine, but that 10 him made not the
slightest difference. He simply locked
himself up for days at a time in his study.
and the result was that he not only read
the Bible from cover to cover, but he
mastered every line OF it. And so
il was when lie found it necessary
to know German and French. He knuckled
down TO ii, and In little time he had Rc-
quired a mastery of both languages. Now,
you can just imagine what grind it was to
man of Trains temperament. but he stuck
to it like a man and never finched for
moment"
But all this is merely in the way Of pref
ace. The feature of the day was, of course,
the meeting of the two poets-sO utterly
di9simiar in most things and yet so much
alike in genius
When we drove up to the home Of Miller
after the ride up from the station at Fruit
vale the poet was waiting for US, and when
the carriage halted be was out in a moment
to greet Riley.
"GOd bless you. James. my boy" he said
as he placed his arm about Riley's neck.

Why the work should be hurried Is some
thing that has not yet been explained, nor
is it known just how many guns will be

But that the hills will be fortified at every

James whitcomb Riley lions show that The man
felt all that he wrote.
Particularly is this true OF his poems OF
children, TOR he is an evident lover or the lit
tie FOLKS and there was at times depth Of
pathos in what he did that moved his audi
ence to tears. 1t is only after he has been
heard that one can realize the vast amount
of thought and labor which must have
been expended upon his work aud how
thoroughly he must have been in touch with
the subjects he handled.
AS a Story-teler he has few equals and
no superior in this country, and his man.
ner is so natural that one forgets for the
time being his identity.
he is the simple Indiana farmer relating
story Of his life or a child telling with
artless ratuTalness his tale of wonder
liz all that lie does he is simple, plain and
unaffected, and it is safe to say that there is
not in this country to-day man who could
go more directly 10 the hearts of his coun-
trymen.
With 1t all. however, it Is easy to see that
he is not trained for the occasion.
he Is as natural as man could possibly
be under the circumstances, and his poses
are not always graceful, but they are ex-
pressive and striking.
They show the man to the world Just as
he is 10 his private life. and those who
see him on the stage know just what the
man is In room with friend.
There is no straning after effect and he
seems TO realize that in order 70 succeed he
must be himself.
The audience which greeted him last
night was critical one, but they gave him
an ovation OF which he might well have
been proud.
The chances are that be will draw
crowded houses during his stay because OF
his happy style OF entertainment.
