RILEY WAS SENSITIVE.
Why He Stopped Reoiting One Of His
Poems In Public.

poems IN PUBLIC.
"As an Illustration of Riley's sensi-
tive nature" said Melville E. Stone,
"Jim and I went alone to the theater
to see Sol Smith Russell, who also be-
longed to the Saints and Sinners Cor
ner. He was playing The Poor Rela-
tion.' In the play was a scene where
Russell took a young boy and put him
In a barrel while he removed his trou-
sers to mend them. The audience
roared with laughter at the comic sit
uation. Next to me in the box sat
James Whitcomb Riley, sobtlng as If
his heart would break. He saw no
humor In the plight of the little boy.
To him 1t was pathos.
"He, like Eugene Field, was devoted
to children. He loved them. but he
loved them artistically. l am not sure
that personally-that is. mind you,
hanging to a mans coattails-they Ell
Their of them wanted children around.
They lacked the patience necessary for
daily contact with children. Riley and
Field could write heartbreaking verse
In respect of children and put into
them an inordinate amount of human
sympathy, but so far as l know this
was at arms length from the young
sters themselves, especially In Fields
case. Riley vas ever exceedingly SYM
pathetic. One evening Jim was recit-
ing his poem, "A Happy Little Cripple
before q large audience. He had scarce
ly begun the lines
I'm thist a little crippled boy an never
goin' to grow
An git a great big man at all, cause
aunty told me so.
When I was thist a baby onc't l failed
out of the bed
An got the curv'ture of the spine'-'at's
what the doctor said
when he noticed a man and a
in the audience leaving the hall. He
made inquiry and found out that they
had q little lame child Of their own
much like the one he was describing.
He resolved never to recite hat poem
in public again."-New York Post

STATE CAMPAIGN
Headquarters Formally
Opened In Newark.
BUGBtE WILL BE IN CHARGE

State Chairman Says That Republican
Prospects Are Rosy, but That There
Will Be No Loafing on the Job.
Edge and Frelinehuysen Attend Con-
f~erences.
Newark, Oct. 10.-In accordance with
the custom of past years. Republican
State Headquarters were opened today
in Newark. In a roomy suite OF offices
in the Essex Building. The %headquar-
tiers is to be in charge of Newton A. X.
Bugbee. Chairman of the Republican
State Committee, who will have gen.
eral supervision of the campaign in
New Jersey. An assistant to MIR. Bug
bee will be appointed in a day or two,
to represent him in his absence.
During the entire day the offices
were thronged with candidates, politi-
cal leaders and campaign workers, and
a general feeling of optimism was in
the air. Among those who took active
part in the numerous conferences that
were held were Mr.. Bugbee, Former
State Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuysen.
candidate for United States Senator.
and Senator Walter E. Edge, candidate
for Governor. Herbert w. Taylor.
Chairman of the Essex County Repub-
lican Committee, stepped in during the
day and greeted the two candidates
warmly, assuring them of the loyal
support of Essex at the polls on No
vember Z.
Much of the departmental work Of
the campaign has been taken up under
Mr.. Bugbee's supervision prior to the
opening of the headquarters, including
that of the speakers bureau, which is
in charge of Marvin Reilly, secretary
of the State Campaign Committee. Mr.
Reilly has obtained from National
Headquarters a list of speakers of
countrywide reputation and is rapidly
arranging important meetings for va
riou~ parts of the State. 1t is recog-
nized that New Jersey will be a crucial
State in the national campaign this
year, and preparations are being made
accordingly.
"While we are confident that New
Jersey will swing into the Republican
column in this year of 1916" said Mr..
Bugbee, land that all the principal Re
publican candidates will be elected by
large pluralities. we are not going to
take anything for granted. Ante
primary differences have been buried.
and behind our candidates we will
have a united party, spurred to action
nv the need of ~S1nnortinQ the canso of
good government and inspired by the
hope of victory. l am much gratifed
by the spirit displayed by our party
leaders and workers, and l am conf
dent that when the results are tailed
it will be a difficult thing to discover
that party apathy has figured in the
results"

A Habit Stanley Had.

1t was remarked of the late Sir II. NJ.
Stanley during his last visit to New
York that he stood all the time with
his back to the wall during receptions
instead of standing out where people
would pass behind him.
Lady Stanley l%aughingly explained
that this was an old habit contracted
In Africa-that Stanley always stood
with his back against a tree or a bar
ricade of some sort when brought in
contact with the savages, and it had
become such a habit with him that he
took that position no matter where he
was.

few days ago. The officers heard Of It
and they arrested the Republican ON

One thing w must all admit
The President Is too proud to
sidestep
A surplus Of $5,2OO,OOO from the
postal service during the fiscal year
ending June 80, is reported by Post
smaster-G General Burleson. With the
department more than paying x
penses, 1t would seem that the execu-
tive officials could afford to keep on
the payroll members Of the National
Guard, who responded when the Presi-
dent called out the Organized Militia
for duty on the border.
President Wilson seems to have
founded his diplomacy on a rock
which is off it's base most of the time.
The Eastern witsmiths persist In re-
ferring to the Secretary of the Navy
as Miss Josephine Daniels. No won

the trail Of the Administration
Mr.. Wilson forgot to mention the
pledges of economy in the 1912 plat
form

James, "the President has sounded
a new note" What, another one?
1t begins to appear that that single
track mind system will have to be
temporarily double-tracked. A few
weeks hence, Of course, 1t will be
side-tracked.
