Indiana School Children Celebrate
and Riley Thanks Them.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 10.-The
fifty-ninth anniversary of the birth
of James Whitcomb Riley, the
Hoosier poet, was celebrated in near
ly all the schools of that State Mon
day. Although Riley has not said so
himself it is pretty well established
that he was fifty-nine years old on
Monday. The best records say that
he was born at Greenfield, Ind, Oct.
Z, 1858.
From his pleasant study in Lock-
erbie street Riley addressed this
note to the children:
To the school children generally:
1t may be well for you to remem-
Der that the day you are about to
celebrate is the birthday of many
good men, but If l may be counted
the least of these l will be utterly
content and happy. can only
thank you and your teachers with a
full heart and the fervent hope that
the day will prove an equal glory to
us all.
To the very little children / would
say, be simply your own selves, and
though even parents, as / some
times think, do not seem to under
stand us perfectly, we will be pa
tient with them and love them no
less Loyalty and very tenderly. Most
truly your hale friend and comrade,
JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.

HAssLER GETS $500 PRIZE.

Hubert Hassler, a son of Mr.. Jos.
Hassler, of Port Jervis, arrived there
the first of the week on his return
bicycle trip from Newark, N. j., to
Denver, Colorado. The young man
competed against four riders repre-
senting Germany, Austria, Egypt and
France and defeated them in this
long distance international bicycle
race, which has attracted the atten-
ton of many people throughout the
country and which has been written
up by many newspapers.
The riders started from Newark,
N. j., on April II last for a prize of
$4,000 which was to be awarded to
the one who reached Denver and re-
turned to the starting point first.
Two days after the start Hassler
reached Port Jervis and visited with
his father and made greater prepara-
tions for his long journey. He con-
tinued riding at a good pace, and
put many miles between himself and
the starting place each day. With
him he carried a book which he has
filled with the autographs of promi-
nent officials of the cities and towns
through which he passed. The col
lection is a valuable one. The other
contestants failed to keep in the
race with Hassler, two of them
dropped out of the long journey at
Chicago, ILL.,, while the other quit
in Nebraska. The Port Jervis boy
kept at his task and reached Denver
on July oath. Soon he began the
return ride which will end in New
ark in a short time.
The young man had very inter-
esting trip and had many trying ex-
periences. For a time he was with a
moving picture show troupe and in
one city he just missed being in a
bad accident when a food carried
away bridge. Thursday night he
will ride 40 miles an hour on a
stand before the Port Jervis Athle-
tic Club.-Port Jervis Gazette.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
Committee Named to Meet With
School Board to Raise Fund of
$500 for New Books For Pub
lie Library

A very representative gathering,
numbering about thirty people, met
at the school house on Wednesday
evening. The purpose of the meet
ing was to form a library associa-
tion to put the Honesdale public Ii
brary on sound financial footing.
Miss Macdonald of Harrisburg,
made an address in which she point
ed out the purpose of the free Ii
brary and the work being done in
other cities along that line. Among
those present at the meeting were
w. B. Holmes, Rev. Father O'Toole,
Rev. A. L. Whitaker, r. NJ. Stock
er and other prominent persons,
some of whom gave impromtu talks
and made suggestions. The meet
ing was a very enthusiastic one and
although the association was not
formed at this meeting it was hop
ed that the outcome would prove
beneficial to the movement. Prof.
H. A. Oday was chosen chairman of
the meeting and he appointed a
committee of nine persons to meet
with the school board this (Thurs-
day. evening for the purpose of
raising a fund of $500 to purchase
new books for the library. The
Texas school board is to meet to-
night and the matter of cooperating
with the Honesdale school board
will probably be discussed. Such a
cooperation between Honesdale
and Texas would do much towards
the establishing one of the best free
public Libraries in this part of the
state. The Honesdale library now
contains 1000 volumes and they are
all assembled and classified in regu-
lar order. Work covering a period
of about 200 days was given over
to this work.
