James Whitcomb Riley.

No poet who has appeared in AM
erica during the past fifty years has
attained greater prominence or is
more widely beloved by the people
than James Whitcomb Riley. His
poetry has no breadth of thought or
Wilderness of range, but it pictures in
simple language the events Of every
day country life; and, in doing so, he
touches the human heart on its most
responsive chord. He is the poet OF
the common people-the Burns OF AM
erica.
Riley was born at Greenfield, Ind,
in 1858, of Quaker parentage. His
father was an attorney, and 1t was
his desire that his son should follow
the same profession. Law, however,
never appealed to the future poet;
, and, as he himself says whenever he
picked up Blackstone or Greenleaf,
: his wits went wool gathering" His
father finally gave UP hope of his
son "ever achieving greatness at the
during his childhood, and he insist
ed that what little he had never did
him any good. Most of his studies he
thoroughly disliked, particularly
mathematics and history. He was al
ways, however, very fond of general
reading, and he tells lis that he does
I not remember when he did not spend
a large part OF his time making
rhymes.
When the poet became little old
er, he travelled for about year as
sign painter for patent medicine
agent. After leaving the employment
of this agent, he organized band
of sign painters, with whom he tour
ed the country, painting signs during
the day, and in the evening, as they
were all good musicians, entertain
ing crowds with their music. 1--WE
kept at it," says Riley, "for three or
four years-made plenty of fun and
did no harm to ourselves or any one
else"
During this period, Riley was
spending his spare hours composing
verses. These he sent to various To-
'cal newspapers. After the sign-paint-
, ing company separated, he secured
position on a weekly paper at An
derson, Ind, where he worked for
some time. He now began to have
higher aspirations as a poet and be-
gan to send his verses to the larger
magazines. only, he says, ITO get
them promptly back again" After
time. however, he sent some of his
lines to Longfellow; who congratu-
lated him on his efforts, as did also
James Russell Lowell, 20 some of
whose dialectic poems Mr.. Riley's
bore a striking resemblance.
The publishers, influenced by the
favorable criticism of two such noted
writers and critics, now began to ac-
cept Riley's work as fast as he could
produce 1t; and from this time on
his success was assured. In a short
time, instead Of having to hunt pub
fishers. he was kept busy trying TO
supply their eager demands for his
poems.
The poet, in spite of the apparent
autobiography of his well-known po-

and where his sister keeps house for
him. One of the beautiful character
istics of Riley's life is the care he
took Of his parents during their de-
clining years, their devoted son ex-
pending every effort to make these
years The happiest of their lives.
The greater of Riley's work has
been dialectic verse. He does not pre-
for this form, the regular poetic
forms appealing to him far more;
but as he expresses it, "dialectic
verse is natural and gains added
charm from the simple inner laws OF
human nature which everybody else
overlooks and loses that he endeared
himself to ALL" 1t is said that, owing
to these long lecture tours, Riley Is
known personally by more people
than any other writer. A large part OF
his time, until in the past few years,
has been spent on the lecture plat
form. He and the famous humorist,
popularity known as "Bill Nye," made
many long tour together
One who has often heard the two
together wrote recently: "The au-
dience always carried away refresh
ing comic memories OF the queer, dry,
lanky Nye, but ever a real love for
Riley, which led hundreds to wait
for a hand clasp before the lecture

commonplaceness. II truth and de-
piction of nature. then 1t should not
be disregarded. | follow nature as
closely as | can, and try to make my
people think and speak as they do
in real life."
This is largely the secret OF Riley's
success. Unlike the verse of Milton
or Pope, or even Tennyson. Riley's
verse can be read or heard by the
uneducated, as well az the cultured,
and thoroughly enjoyed. His "Old
Swimmin' Hole" "When the Frost
Is on the Pun'kin'," "Our Hired
Girl" and "The Raggedy Man" are
pictures OF real life.
Perhaps the most popular poem
that Riley ever wrote in the regular
poetic form is his AN Old Sweetheart
of Nine" Its beauty lies in its SIM
plicity, both of thought and versfica-
tion. and there are few poems of its
kind in the English language that are
more beautiful and tender.-By VIM.
