/ James Whitcomb RiIey's birthday"
In his honor that Hoosier city Is all

I quantities of bunting in commemora-
ton of the 62nd anniversary of the
birth of one of their best loved cItI-
zens. indianapolis and Miami share

the homes which lay closest claim, for
j. is in the beautiful southern city
that Mr.. Riley spends his winters.
According to the scriptures, prophet
is not without honor except in his
own land and that may still hold good
even in Judea, but up in the Hoosler
city they use the revised version, for
to honor the prophet is their first
privilege. whether they come with
sword or shield or only with song on
their lips. All they ask is that they
be not false. 1t is a fine thing that
Indiana has come to realize that to
honor herself she must first honor
her children, so October 7th is to be
a red letter day in the annals of cele-
brating the poets birthday. Tomor-
row upon the terraced lawn of his
home on Lockerbie street, the morn
\ ing's sun will seep merrily through a
sweet autumn haze into a home gaily
bedecked in honor of the poets natal
day. Old friends will come and home
folks will gather close around him,
the porches and streets will be
thronged. The whole town loves and
reveres James Whitcomb Riley, and
his name is honOred from coast to
coast. When tomorrow's sun is set Mr..
Riley will breathe benedictiOn, "Dear
Lord, kind Lord, gracious Lord,
pray thou will look on all | love ten
derby today Weed their hearts of
WEAKNESS, scatter every care down
. the wake of angel wings winnowing
the air. Bring unto the sorrowing all
release from pain. Let the lips OF
laughter overflow again. And with al
the needy o divine l pray this vast
: treasure of content which is mine to-
day."-Compiled from exchange.
