A Biographical Tragedy.
Riley never likes TO talk about him.
self. He has not written an autobi-
ography and never will. Ee doesn't
even Ike to have any one quote him.
1t seems 50 conceited" is his way Of
explaining.
The story of his life has never been
written. Many years ago a number OF
Chicago writers decided 10 put out
biography. They wrote II carefully
and had it set in type. They then
thought it would De a wise plan TO
have Riley verify II. When the proofs
we're taken 70 him he was greatly NOR
ttfiei. Ee protested and asked his
friends 70 leave him alone. saying his
life was too commonplace to interest
any one. The authors were insistent.
80 the poet in despair agreed to look
over the proofs.
Many months after that he sent
them back. With wonderful clever
ness he had doctored the biography be-
yond recognition. Nor a specific or d.
rect statement was eft. Every date
was scratched out. ana every story
was CuaIiScd 10 LHahe II appear W Il
reader as though il WIS doubtful
whether II was about him.
And. on top OF that. when the book
was published i was discovered he
had bought all rights to il and had ev-
erythins destroyed.
