gained fortune.
Mr.. Riley was peculiarly sensitive
as to the advance of age and evaded
INQUIRIES as to the date of his birth
but the most accurate information
available indicates that he was born
in 1S4S.
SHOULD you ask his age" one of
his friends said, The 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 brought to the dull
routine of school days, but he was
wise in the lore of fields and streams.
His mother, who was Elizabeth
Marine before her marriage, was a
writer of verse and Riley in later life
attributed some of his impracticabiI-
ity to her.
Instead of preparing for the prac-
tic of law, as his father wished, the
son turned itinerant sign painter. For
ten years he royed through the Ohio
valley, painting signs on fences. He
had the trick of the brush and pencil
and cleverly drew sketches illus
trating the virtues of merchandise.
He was naturally musical and shone
as a fiddler in the villages at which
his party stopped at night. He played
for dances and at concerts in eoun-
try 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
employment as a reporter on news
paper at Anderson, Ind. In 1877,
for the purpose, he said, of proving
that he could write poetry of value
He perpetrated the Poe hoax which
for years was a literary sensation.
He wrote a poem in the style Of Ed
gar Allen Poe, to which he gave the
characteristic title of "Leonanie,"
and it was offered to the public as a
hitherto unpublished product of the
genius Of Poe One of the stanzas
was:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS named her,
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed her
in a smile Of white.
And they made her hair of gloomy
Midnight and her eyes of bloomy
Moonshine and they brought her
/ to me
In the solemn night"
In some quarters the poem was ac-
cepted as genuine; in others it was
denounced as a fraud. Alter the
controversy had waged for months
Riley confessed.
In the early SOS he began writing
verses in "Hoosier" dialect for the
old indianapolis Journal. He sent
some of his poems to Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow and they received
his praise. A volume was published
and "the "Hoosier poet" began to
win public. He was an excellent
reader OF his own dialect verses and
for the following fifteen years, or
until 1898, he made tours of the
country, appearing in public with
great success both alone and in as
ISOLATION with the humorist, Bill
Nye, who was his intimate friend.
Publication Of books of poems year
after year brought Riley fortune
and wide recognition of his literary
genius and not only in the genre
form. Many of his poems are of i'm
aginative fantasy of gently philoso-
phic.
In 1902 he received the degree OF
masters OF arts from Yale University
and in 1904 the University of Penn
sylyania conferred upon him the de-

gree of doctor of letters. Indiana
University conferred the honorary
degree Of LII. D. on him in 1907.
In July, 1907, the poet presented
to the city of Indianapolis property
valued at $4,000 for site for Il
public library and school administra-
ton building.
Mr.. Riley never married but he was
a lover of children, whose spirit he
OWNED so intimately, and of family
life. Many of the last years Of his
life he spent quietly at his home in
a secluded section of indianapolis.

 The president has been forced into declaration that arbitration nothing that it is impossible. The railway managers ask him condition to the avoidance of the strike to use his influence to make it something and the matter has been put up to congress. If the administration and con- gress fail take this action they will have taken the position that industrial disputes must be settled in the good old way-by force On the other hand, if they declare for arbitration that means arbra tion they will anger the railway employees and organ ized labor generally.
 The other condition imposed by the railway managers avoidance of strike is that the rail- ways shall be allowed plunder the public to make good their losses, incurred in complying with the request of the president for eight hour day. To that condition the president has assented, but the railway managers a guaranty, a bond from the president which he has far been able to cute. He has asked congress to be his bondsman
 What congress will do is uncertain. It is long time between and the general election in which many congressman are candidates again. There will be long time for the people digest the terms of the proposed transaction between the president and the railway managers. Congressmen easily why the people may not approve the deal for their plundering and their disapprova of it might extend from the principal to his guarantor.
