HONOR POET RILEY.

During the second week of octo-
Der, James Whitcombe Riley, the be-
loved Hoosier l"'et, will be the center
of the greatest alton ever rendered
an American writ, :. October z is the
poets birthday, but wing to the fact
that the celebration l. his honor will
be of such proportions that it will
be impossible to confine it to one
day, it has been decided to extend
1t over a period of six days, begin
ming Monday, October 2, and ending
Saturday, October 12. Indianapolis
Mr.. Riley's home town, has taken the
lead in this event, but the movement
has spread like wildfire and it is
doubtful whether there is a city or
town in the United States which will
not have one or more events sched-
uled in honor of the poet who,
through the medium of his verses,
has struck responsive chord in
every breast and has succeeded in
bringing poetry home to the people.
Riley programs have long been
popular with literary clubs and dur
ing Riley week these programs will
take on an added interest. Mr.. Riley
is widely known for his love of chill
dren. For this reason "Riley Week"
will be generally observed in the
schools with special exercises.
Mr.. Riley is now enjoying excel
lent health. The paralysis which
manifesteditself in his right arm
little more than year ago is rapidly
disappearing and he says he feels as
we'll as ever he did in his life.
No man in America has more
friends than James Whitcomb Riley.
During the years he travelled as a lee
turer he met thousands of people,
who, attracted by his magnetic per-
sonality, became warmly attached to
him.
Although Mr.. Riley is recognized
as a great poet by critics of the
sternest school, he prefers to be
known as an humble singer who rails
es his voice that humanity may be
benefited by little of life's sunshine.

Ward Merits Much.
Not another man in the United States
merits more from baseball than John

Here is 4 man who has been a great
credit to the game. One of the most
formidable pitchers and infielders of
the old days, he served his apprentice
ship also as manager Yet he retired
voluntarily at the height Of his prime
to study law. He became a very fine
lawyer and built up a wonderful prac-
tice in New York. where lawyers are
said to find the toughest shedding in
the whole country. John VI. Ward has
worked hard at his practice. He de-
sCcrved a rest and some of the good

proves beyond question that there is
luck and all kinds of it in baseball
