HoosIER POET IS DEAD.
James Whitcomb Riley, Sang the Joys,
Sorrows, Fancies and Humors Of the
Middle West.

James Whitcomb Riley, known the
world over as "The Hoosier Poet, -
died in his home in Indianapolis
Saturday night, having earlier in the
day suffered violent shock of paraly-
sis. He sustained his first shock July
10, 1910.
James Whitcomb Riley, born of the
Middle West, sang the joys, sorrows,
fancies and humors of its folk, largely
in its own dialect. The world was so
touched by his inspiration and the
realism of his homcly symbols that he
was one of the few, that, devoting their
lives to poetry, gained a fortune.
Mr.. Riley was peculiarly sensitive rs
to the advance of age and evaded in
quiries as to the date of his birth, but
the most accurate information availa-
bic indicates that he was born in 1S4S.
"Should you ask his age" one of
his friends said, 'he would answer
This side of forty, and leave you to
guess which side.
The poet was the son of Reuben A..
Riley, lawyer and political speaker Of
Greenfield, Ind. The boy could not be
days, but he was wise in the lore of
streams and fields. His mother, who was
Elizabeth Marine before her marriage,
was writer of verse and Riley in later
life attributed some of his Impractical
bility to her.
Instead of preparing for the practice
of law, as his father wished, the son
turned itincrant sign painter. For ten
years he roved through the Ohio valley,
painting signs on fences. He had the
trick of the brush and pencil and clever
.ly drew sketches illustrating the vir-
tues of merchandise. He was naturally
musical and shone as fiddler in the
villages ut which his party stopped at
night He played for dances and at
concerts in country hotels. He wrote
rhymes, which sometimes found their
way into country newspapers.
He led this cheerful, free and easy
life late in the '70's, then he took EN-
ployment as a reporter on newspaper
in Anderson, Ind. In 1877, for the pur-
pose, as he said, of proving that he
could write poetry of value, he perpe-
trated the Poe hoax which for years was
a literary sensation. He wrote poem
in the style of Edgar Allen Poe, to
which he gave the characteristic title
of "Leonanie, and II was offered to
the public as a hitherto unpublished
product of the genius of Poe. One of
the stanzas was:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT named her,
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed her
In a smile of white.
