RILEY HAD TO WRITE JINGLES
Former Schoo, Teacher Recalls Da,s
When the Loved Poet Was
Her Pupil.

"Jingles" and not regular studies oc-

Whitcomb Riley. the noted Hoosier
poet. according to Mrs. libby" Ul-
rey, seventy-three years old. of Athens
Tenn, who is visiting with Mrs. S. A.
Rice OF Covington, KY, the Cincinnati
Commercial-Tribun states.
In the year 1S60-61, when taught
in the subscription school at Green
field, Ind, Riley was one of my pupils.
and, although he was good student,
he never carried off the honors of his
class.
His chief delight was to hide be-
hind some other pupil and compose
jingles.' as he called them, and when
caught in the act always explained
that he had to write, as the verses
were always going through his mind.
Composition came natural to him
and he would stop in the midst of a
task to jot down some little verse.
When he was about eighteen years old
he ran away with travelling medicine
show and later painted signs on fences.
but would stop work suddenly to
sprawl out on the grass by the road
side and jingle"

former pupil spent several hours to-
gether recalling the old schooldays.
