Ind. when he had prominent place the program little entertainment and in the every home talent production.
 Like every boy, young Riley turned a dozen vacations which time being he firmly be- Iieved his life work, but the serious of these was to be an actor, an artist or writer His ability artist was not so marked, though several years he earned his living artistic painter; but it IS generally believed that had ne adopted the stage d profession his name would adorned the electric signs of the Rialto just today adorns the title pages of many equisite books of poetry
 It was not the stage itself, however that made first apepaI to the youthful Riley but an older form amusement-the circus. He would be clown, and the funniest clown in all the world Of course. according to his day dreams, he would have to away firm home and travel all over.' but then he would back day, and that would be the great day. All painted white and wearing big baggy clothes and funny little he would take his place in the ring where the lady rode the fiery horse, and he would play jokes the handsome with the whip All the people would be just .:tickled death,' and then he would let em know who he was, and wouldn't they be suryrised!
 In preparation for this he and the "fellers" ganized and circus troupes, and with old piece of carpet gave shows where the price of admission was pins and the audience was composed of the small girls of he neighborhood reached the age when they could be performers.
 Later in life, when he grew sick and tired of the law books his father insisted he must study, James Whtcomb Riley suddenly took his departure from Greenfield with a patent medicine doctors Highly Entertaining and Instructive Musical and Speciality Aggregation.
