Evelyn Jepson - James
WhitcOmb Riley

Dear Juniors:
This is my first letter to The
Courier Junior ] thought | would
write about James Whitccmb Riley.
He was born in Indiana October l,
1858, and died July 20, 1916, at the
age of sixty-three. He was America s
best beloved poet
No other American writer under
stood the plain people as he, and
he joined pathos with humor in his
writings.
He. touched the heart of others be-
cause his own was easily touched. AS
a boy he could not read a pathetic
poem without shedding tears.
He was great success as writer
of dialect and the reason probably is
that the dialect he used was his own
native speech. He took it from his
boyhood playmates and from people
about him with whom he associated
until the end.
He never married and though he
lacked the intimate caresses of chill
dren, yet he loved them as were they
his own.

Florence Peters - James
Whitcomb Riley

James Whitcomb Riley was very
fine poet. I like to read his poems be-
cause they are poems which we chill
dren like to read. I like to read The
Boss Girls" and other sketches.
Riley said that he was never alone
because his childhood days were al.
ways with him. He loved to be in
the field. the woods and go to the
swimming hole in the summer time.
When he would go to the woods he
would make poems about the SPUR
rels and the other things that one
finds in the woods.
He also loved to go to the swim
ming hole When he would get out
of the water first the boys would
laugh at him. And besides. they
would throw mud at him.
Then he would tie knots in their
shirts and wishing that their mothers
would find out that they had been in
swimming.
Riley did not go to college. He was
surprised when he found that he
could play on so many Instruments
Riley was not very old when he
died He would have been sc the 7th
of October 1916, but he died July
IS. 1916
Riley was born in 1868. When he
was a young man he was sign
painter and was popular as well.

Baby S Song

Mother is singing the baby to sleep,
So can do nothing but whisper and
creep:
iBut somehow l don't want to make a
noise,
Or even play with my dearest toys.
When she sings that old song
have known so long:
Hush! my little one; go to sleep,
And mother will give you the moon to
keep
Isn't it silly? But then, you see,
When was little she sang it to me !:
And somehow | like to hear it again.
For it's warm like the sun, though it
tinkles like rain
Just like the rain
On the window pane:
Hush my little one; go to sleep,
And mother will give you the moon to
keep
! watch the golden moon in the tree,
And then | come close to mothers
knee.
Till | almost believe that her song is
true.
And | feel as if were baby too,
When l hear that old song
| have known so long:
Hush! my little one: go to sleep.
And mother will give you the moon to
keep"

Helen Park - James Whit
comb Riley

We shall remember James Whit
comb Riley as one of our great poets
He was born October Z. 1849, and
died July %, 1916. He lived in Green.
field, Hancock county Indiana.
He was a jolly fellow, with big
freckles on his face and his hair was
almost white.
His father was a lawyer and a Quak-
er and he thought lots of his son and
wanted him to grow big so he could
wear long trousers and one day his
father bought a small piece of cloth
and made his son pair This made
the people call him Judge Wick.
After he had grown big enough to
go to school he was the star actor and
reciter but in other studies he Jagged
behind.
James Whitcomb Riley was a very
good artist when he left school, so he
took lessons to learn the trade of sign
painting. While he was little boy he
was not very well so the doctor told
he he ought to travel, but he could
not travel without money.
A patent medicine man came along
one day and he needed man to go
along to paint his advertisements, so
James went with him.
After he had painted few years
he started to write poems and he went
to Longfellow with some Of them and
they were published.
The names Of some Of his poems are
"Orphant Annie. 1.-The Ragged Man,
"The Old Swimmin' Hole" The Run
away, and many others.
"The old haymow's the place to play
Fer boys when it's rainy day.
| good 'eal rather be up there
Then down in town err anywhere"

Nettie Lord - James Whit.
comb Riley
Dear Editor and Juniors:

Dear Editor ana Juniors:
/ read in The Courier Junior that
Ia collection of James Whitcomb
Riley's poems is to be given as prize
for the best compositions. think
la collection of his poems would be
very nice, SO l am going to try in the
contest.
James Whitcomb Riley was the
second son of A. Riley and his wife,
Elizabeth Riley. He was born in
October in the small town of Green.
field, Indiana.
James Whitcomb Riley was a
slender lad with wide blue eyes and
cornsilk hair. He was timid and shy,
and not very strong His father was
a captain in the civil war, a lawyer,
and an orator His mother died when
he was 20 years old.
He was sent to school when he was
small and continued until sixteen.
James had literary talent but his
father did not want him to become a
writer. He wanted James to be a
painter. He furnished James Whit
comb with brush and some paint
and put him to work on an old frame
house. Finally he graduated as a
house, sign and ornamental painter.
He didn't care much for this pro.
fession. He became the editor of a
paper in Greenfield and sent poems
to several others. But his good luck
lasted but short time. Then hard
times followed.
About this time he wrote a poem
called Leonainie. In this poem Poe
instead of Mr.. Riley, is supposed to
be writing the poem. 1t was first
printed in the Kokomo Dispatch. This
poem became nation wide discussion.
The turning point of his life was
when he was given place in the
Indianapolis Journal. 1t was during
this time that he wrote THE Old
Swimmin' Hole, and "'Leven More
Poems"
Some more Of his poems are: An
Old Sweetheart of Mine" dot Leedle
Boy" George Mullins Confession, -
and when Mother Combed My Hair"
He died July, 1916.
