RII.EYS LAST POEM WRITTEN
Helpless, His Friends Believe He
 Has Not Long to Live.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov 2S. - The world has received it's last poem from the hand of James Whitcomb Riley, America's greatest living poet.
 MT. Riley was asked today by friends to write poem in the form of Christmas message to the public and sadly shook his head and exposed withered right hand. The paralytic stroke which the ia nous bard had couple of years ago has gone to his right hand, and this member is absolutely helpless now.
 When it was seen that it would be suggested that he might dictate a poem. He immediately shook his head in vigorous disapproval at this and said:
 No, no, that would be impossible One cannot write poetry that way One must have his pen in his hand to get the proper rhythm and meter in such work
 Within the last few months MT Riley has improved little and his friends believe that he has not long to live. He is unable to walk

We once had a night clerk who was an Englishman, said hotel manager You know the call lists, the sheets on which are recorded the hours at which guests wish to be awakened in the morning, are made out in rows of a. m., 7:30, s and so on. Well, one night a lot of people had left calls for 7:30, when man came up to the Englishman and said he wanted to be awakened at that hour. The clerk looked down the list and found that all the lines under 7:30 had been filled He said to the visitor:

Tt is an unfortunate state of af- fairs. and so far as 1 can as judge of this court l intend to remove it. and to begin removing it right now. We want your support It is not only that We want it. but il is ab- solutely necessary. You are the people of this country. and We are sent here in most instances as arms f the law: and we certainly want the hearty cooperation of every man, and especially jurors and grand jurors. That necessitates that you be treated with respect. and that your right be carefully guard ed and protected; and so far as il is possible for the court to protect ycu in that you may rest assured that you will have that protection.
 T see no necessity for you gen tlemen to be discharged from fur ther attendance on this court. or from further duty in this court. I may say that the jury that sat in the case Saturday were as represen- tative q jury, as good a jury. should say. as l can recall to mind as eyer having sat upon any case since have been judge of the court. l haven't any doubt in your integrity, nor have l any doubt of your sincerity, nor have | any doubt of the care and faithful attention you gave to the case
 If you made any error in the case, l have not any doubt but that il was one of judgment And l am not prepared to say, as judge of the court, who sat and heard every word of the evidence and probably able better to judge the weight ami character of the evidence than. may be. any of you jurors-I say l am not prepared to say you made mistake.
 For that reason, l prefer. or rath- er desire, that you gentlemen, for all the reasons I have stated. contin- all the easons l have stated. contin- ue to act as jurors in attendance on this court until you shall be eX- cused.
 And for thai reason l shall be obliged to deny your request to be excused from acting as jurors refer now, of course, to the regular members of the panel"
 MT Busch then made a vigorous denial of the statement to the cf- feet that he had vilfied the jury saying:
 My statement in the pulpit waG, that as far as I knew the facts in the case. such a verdict was not jus tified" Adding that If Mr Russell and the other gentlemen of the jury will trace that rumor down. they will find that 1 have not vilified them one bit. l have a right as a citi- zen. l think, to express my opin- ion. whether l do so in the pulpit cr in private"
 Judge Overfield then assured MT Buisch that the same protection would be given to him that the court had said it would give to the jurors and the incident was closed.
