BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

1t has become the habit of cities to
have various kinds of week" celebra-
tions. Sometimes it is homecoming
week; sometimes it is old folks week,
and sometimes it is seven days given
over to the exploitation of what the
city manufactures. But beginning Oct
7, Indianapolis is to have a week de-
voted to a poet. He isn't dead and 1t
isn't to celebrate the unwilling OF a
statue to him; it is simply to observe
The birthday Of James Whitcomb Riley,
who was born on that day fifty odd
years alo. Just how many doesn't
really matter, for Whitcomb Riley, the
beloved Hoosier rhymster, who has
fathomed the beauty Of child nature
and placed the simple and unpreten-
!ious poetry of common people into
fine libraries the world over, isn't to
be measured by mere years. His work
will live, bringing pleasure and laugh
ter-as well as tears-into the lives
Of Americans as long as this country
survives.
Some time ago Riley, whose home
city counts him among it's most valued
possessions, suffered a stroke of par
alysis; but though the hand that has
written so many delightful verses may
never add to the few volumes that
have made his name known the world
over, the gentle spirit of the man him
self Is strong and charming as ever.
Indiana is often jokingly accused of
producing more writes to the square
mile than any other state. But Indiana
has never produced, and it is doubtful
If it ever will produce, another author
who can number more real, though I'M
known friends, than James Whit
comb Riley. 1t is not given to many
writer's to merit the love and esteem
that are his.-Cincinnati Times-Star.

of property owners and householders,

1t is a fact, though, that we were as

There is no one element that is SO
disastrous to health as dust.
In city dust are the germs of every
disease.
1t is the powdered filth of the town.

We fuss about the arch at the Glen,
the water-works, the city light plant
and the street-cars.
But the thing We should really be
fussing about is the dust
The local ordinance covers the wa

of April to the first day of October
But why the first day of October?
Aren't October and November often
the mildest and busiest months of
the year?
The peculiar philosophy of this or
dinance is like that governing the
seats in the city parks.
On October first they are removed.
During the last two autumn months
there are many beautiful days when
people go to the parks
But there are no benches to sit on
Why not vary the custom with the

Why. in fact, not use a little com

Delirium of merriment
And let my laughter die away
In endless silence of content
I could forget for your dear sake
The utter emptiness and ache
OF every loss I ever knew
What could / not forget for you?
I could forget the just deserts
OF mine own sins, and SO erase
The tear that burns, the smile that
hurts
And all that mars and masks my
face
For your fair sake I could forget
The bonds of life that chafe and
fret
Nor care if death were false or true
What could not forget for you?
