25.-The soldier boys from North

their less fortunate comrades
from points in the east, are en-
joying "some service" and good

southland.
After spending a month in camp
sleeping on the hard ground and
going thru a gril1ing routine of
drill each day, it was real treat
for the North Dakotans to climb
aboard real Pullmans and sleep
between nice clean white sheets.
Shipping ice cold lemonade
twice day at meal times on the
train has had a tendency to make
the boys feel like kings. Accord
ing to the quartermaster's DEPART

on hand to furnish the boys with
the delicious cold drink twice a
day for the balance of the trip.
And for all this comfort and
even luxury the North Dakotans
can thank their kindly command

The fact that the editor of tho

letters from other states asking
as to the feasibility of establish
ing business places in Beach, goes
to prove that the Golden Valley

of the communications was from

there was an opening for another

main, two new members were
taken into the firm.

OF the firm for the past two years,
dividing his time almost equally

Famous 'Hoosier
Poet Dead
James Whitcomb Riley, Half.
Uncle of Postmaster John
M. Baer and Noted
Poet Dies Suddenly

indianapolis, Ind, July a.
James Whitcomb Riley, world
famous Hoosier poet died Satur-
day evening. Death was due to a
stroke of paralysis. He was suf-
fering from the heat Saturday but
showed signs of improvement in
'he evening. At II o'clock he ask
e lhisnurse for a drink. When size
returned with the water he was
dead.
James Whitcomb Riley, born
Of the middle west, sang the lows,
sorrows, fancies and humors of
its folks, largely in it's own dialect.
The world was so touched by it's
inspiration and the realism of his
honlely symbols that he was one
OF the few, that, devoting their
lives to poetry, gained a fortune.
Mr.. Riley was peculiarly sensi-
tive to the advance of age and ad-
'lcd inquiries as ~ the da.. O:
his birth but the most accurate i'm
formation available indicates that
he was born in 1848.
SHOULD you ask his age," one
of his friends said, che would an
swcr This side of forty and leave
you to guess which side"
The poet was the son of Reub-
ell A. Riley, a lawyer and political
speaker of Greenfield, Ind The
10y could not be brought to the
dull routine of school days, but
he was wise in the lore of streams
and fields. His mother, who was
Elizabeth Marine before her mar
riage, was a writer of verse and
Riley in later life attributed some
of his impracticability to her.
Instead of preparing for the
practice of law, as his father wish
ed the son turned itinerant 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 clev-
erly drew sketches illustrating
the virtues of merchandise He
was naturally musical and shone
as fiddler in the villages at
which his party stopped at night.
He played for dances and at con-
certs in country hotels. He wrote
rhymes which sometimes found
their way into country newspa-
pers.
He lead this cheerful, free
and easy life late IN the '7O's then
nc took employment as report

DIR. and Mrs. C.. E. Fuller re-
turned Wednesday evening from
a months automobile trip thru
North and South Dakota, visiting
friends and relatives enroute.
Some of the cities they visited
were, Jamestown, Hettinger and
Bowman, North Dakota and
Mowbridge, Lemon and DesMit,
South Dakota. They made their
longest stay at the latter city
where they visited relatives. The
DR.. says that on the return trip
he paid especial attention to the
condition of the crops along the
way up from DesMit and that the
crops in the Golden Valley ex-
ceed those of any other section
he passed through. Drouth in
certain sections has raised havoc
with the yield while in other Sec
tions black rust has got in its
deadly work. He says that it is
a fact, and is conceded by many
farmers in South Dakota that the
yield in many places will not
average over five bushels of
wheat o the acre. Judging by
what land men told him during
his stay in our sister state to the
south, there will be an influx of
land-seekers in this section of
North Dakota this fall, and more
especially in the far famed Gold
en- Valley.

er on a newspaper at Anderson
Ind. In 1877, for the purpose 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 worte poem in the style O!
Ed gar Allen Poe, to which he
gave the Characteristic title of
'l.eonanie," and it was offered
to the public as a hitherto unpub-
lished product of the genius OF
Foe. One of the stanzas was:
Il 'I.eonanie-the angels namedher,
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed
her
In smile of white
And they made her hair of
gloomy
Midnight and her eyes of
bloonly
Moonshine and they brought
her to me
I'm the solemn night
In some quarters the poem was
accepted as genuine; in others it
was denounced as fraud. After
tie controversy had waged for
months Riley confessed.
In the early sos he began
writing verses i'm "Hoosier" dia.
lect for the old indianapolis Jour-
nal. He sent some of hs poems to
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
and they received his
praise. A volume was published
and The Hoosicr Poet" began his
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 pub
tic with great success both al
one and i'm association with tho
hunorist, Bill Uye, who was his
intimate friend
Publication of books of poems
year after after year brought Ril-
ey. fortune and wide recogni-
tion of his literary genius and
not only in the general form.M Many
of his poems are of imaginative
fantasy of gently philosophic.
In 1902 he received the degree
Of master of arts from Yale uni
versity and in 1904 the Univcr-
sity of Pennsylvania coferred up
on him the degree of doctor of
letters. Indiana University COLI
ferred the honorary degree Of
IL. d. on him in 1907.
In July 1911, the poet presented
to the city of Indianapolis prop
crty valued at $4,000 for site
for the public library and school
administration building.
Mr.. Riley never married but he
was a lover of children, whose
spirit he OWNED so intimately,
an d of family life. Many of the
last years of his life he spent
quietly at his home in a secluded
section of indianapolis.

The first home inspection of the
BrattIeboro high school baseball team
IN Clover league game was permitted
saturday on the fairgrounds. when 100
spectators, most of them of the peutler
sex, watched the felders OF the team
hand game to Keene high by the
score of II to I.
Not only is the team apparantely
handicapped in executive ability as It
pertains to hands ana feet. bnt real
| baseball heads are lacking. There was
nothing that should have been done
that was accomplished by the home
team. Not much that should not have
been doae was overlooked.
The blame for the defeat does not
lie with the battery men. Sammy
Plumb, captain this year and well
known as Il real bali player and a
hard working member of any team
with which he is playing, is. if any
thing, an improved catcher over his
work last year. He handles his work
well and never quits. 1t is tough luck
Tor him that there should not be more
real baseball material in the school
ana that such as there is should not
snow interest enough to turn out for
practise and instruction.
Shea started in the box for Rra++1o-
horo. In spite of the fact that 10
runs were scored off his delivery in
four and two-thirds innings and that
he allowed 10 hits and passed fonr
men IN that time. perfect fielding
would have kept runs away from the
plate.
Leon Adams, who worked the last
-FOUR innings, has good southpaw de-
livery and the best pitching motion of
any high school twirler in the last
three years. He, too, would have cot
ten by without n run against him ex-
cept Tor an error. He was better on
the slab than in left field where his
mlsludgment of a fly gave Keene two
runs, and this is one of the errors that
does not show in the error column.
|. Jones, who twirled for Keene. had
lot OF speed in the first few innings.
uut tired, apparently, towards the
last. This did not interfere in the
least with the inability Of the local
Datters to connect with his pitching.
they hit equally well whether thev
encountered speed or not.
Russell is the same finished product
behind the bat that Plumb is. He is
larger and heavier and equally qoo1
with the stick. So far as the teams
are concerned both are fortunate to
nave such boys to do the receiving.
and 1t means trouble next season when
they graduate.
There is no use in going into the
details Of this game. 1t was case of
a fair high school team running away
from a very green one The battery
could not do it all and the majority of
the rest of the team could not do any
| thing that was favorable to B. H. S.
which makes the following summary:
