my PHILOSOPHY"

my PHILOSOPHY"
ONE Of the Riley poems read be-
fore a Los Angeles club on the poets
birthday as a tribute to the author,
was MY Philosophy" which In part
reads as follows:
Il amt, nor don't p'tend to be,
Much posted on philosfy;
But there Is times, when all alone,
l work out ideas of my own.
And OF these same there is a few
I'd like to jest refer to you
Pervidin' that you don't object
To listen clost and rickollect.
Il allus argy that a man
Who does about the best he can
ls plenty good enough to suit
This lower mundane institute
No matter eff his daily walk
Is subject to his neighbors' talk
And critic-minds of ev'ry within
Jest all git up and go fer him,
The signs is bad when folks COM
mence
A-indin' fault with Providence,
And balkin' cause the earth don't
shake
AT ev'ry prancin' step they take.
No man is crate tell he can see
How less than little he would be
Eff stripped to self, and stark and bare
He hung his sign out anywhere: .
My doctern is to lay aside
Confessions, and be satisfied:
lest do your best. and praise or
blame
That fallers that. counts jest the same.
I've allus noticed CRATE success
Is mixed with troubles, more or less,
And it's the man who does the best
That gifts more kicks than all the
rest"
