in this event, but the movement has
spread like wildfire and it is doubtful
whether there Is city or town in the
United States which will not have one
or more events scheduled in honor Of
the poet who through the medium Of
his verses has struck a responsive
chord in every breast and has sue
cecded in bringing poetry home to the
people.

on an added interest. Mr.. Riley IL

Mr.. Riley is now enjoying excellent
health. The paralysis which manifest
ed itself in his right arm a little more

ever he did In his life. Every day he
takes long ride about Indianapolis

happy and is usually surrounded by a
group Of close friends.

American nation. 1t was her sacrifice
and nobility that made 1t possible for
them to be what they were. Their
lives are her eternal panegyric, their

her power. Are we going to allow self
