without foundation. The story at
sempts to explain the circumstances

Whitcomb Riley. the famous Indiana
poet, then travelling as sign painter.
While out walking with Con. Piatt.
some days later. Mr. RileyNis said
to have sat down on log and com
posed the wellknown poem.
The truth of the matter Is that. in
the first place. Mr.. Riley saw Gen.

this one belonged was known as 1.-THE
Old Swimmin' Hole and 'Leven More
POEMS" and included some of Riley's
most famous verses. These poems
were written In Mr.. Riley's room In
building across the street from the
Journal ONCE. Mr.. Riley travelled as
q sign painter when very young
man. during the summer OF 1875, and
then merely because of his boyish
love OF adventure. as ne went with a
travelling medicine troupe at the time.
and besides painting the advertise
ments on the fences along the way re-
cited poems of his own composition In
order to hold the crowd"
