POEM ON RILEY

Rev. J. J. Rae read the following
poem written by John O'Keefe for the
New York World at the services Sun
day:
Although up to a brighter sky
You turn a brighter brow.
The Little Girl you babe, Don't cry!'
Must disobey you now.
Beside The Little Cripple's chair
She's kneeling, tearful-eyed,
Although she knows that you fore'er
Are On the Sunny Side.
Amid the land that's ever new,
Amid new singers ranks,
There'll be the same deep joy for you
As on the Deer Creek Banks.
For with your posies in her hands
And on her lips your hymn,
There Little Orphant Annie stands
To kiss her Uncle Jim!
0 you who sang The Days Gone BY
In your own perfect phrase,
/ hear your treble, far on high,
Singing the day Of days.
The veil that hid Gods mystery vast
Lifts as curtain does,
And now Jim Riley, at the last
j. You Know Who Santa Wuz!
No Cobble-unsll Git You, Jim!
You've gone across the night
To find amid the seraphim
The Raggedv Man in white!
And in the paths of childrens feet,
Lit by the children's smile,
You go unfaltering to meet
The true Cross-Bearin' Chile!
The Funny Little Fellow cries
In vain for you to stay.
You've gone to seek beyond the skies
The Land Of Whereaway
And "Good-by Jim!" the Dwainie elf
Signs meath her Spirkland hat,
She need not say, Take keer O. your
self"
Gods looking out for that!

With no less than twenty-five extra
length cars loaded with paraphernalia
and ACCOMPLISHMENTS and bearing three
hundred people and fifty animals the
Johnny J. Jones Exposition Shows,
which are scheduled to exhibit in
Richmond all this week, arrived here
last night and were welcomed by
large crowd who had assembled at the
depot TO witness the coming of this
much heralded show company. AS
comprehensive as have been the
claims of the Jones advance agents
they did not prepare Richmond show
lovers for the mammoth aggregation
which pulled into the local railroad
yards. The Jones Show train bears
every resemblance to a circus of the
best appointed variety and consists of

TRIBUTE TO RILEY

mailities. The speaker said Riley
never pretended to be a saint, yet he
made it clear In his poems that he &C
copied the Christian faith. 1t was uni
versally known how he loved children.
Riley did not attach himself to any
denomination, because he hated creeds
and dogmas and could not bear the
gloom and the awe of church services.
He had declared that religion ought to
be cheerful and joyful. and that he
did not believe God liked Christians
with long faces and an attitude OF
abnegation.

A large and appreciative congrega-
ton was present at the South Eighth
street Friends church yesterday at the
Riley Memorial service.
Music was furnished by Mrs. F. j..
Bartel, Mrs. C. Marvel and Miss Hal
cey Harold. while Miss Fannie Har-
rell and Miss Elizabeth Morris gave
readings.
The pastor said that James Whia-
comb Riley had endeared himself to
the hearts of the American peiple by
his simplicity and naturalness. He
had glorifed the commonplace things
of life. He had not found his inspira-
ton in ancient myths and legends,
nor in unrealities, but had spoken Of
the everyday affairs Of the Hoosier
farmer Rileys charm lay in his unaf-
fectedness. He hated shams and for

Enters Through Window
The house occupied by Hoffman is
just south Of the deer pen and is
screened in the rear by heavy clumps
Of bushes and shrubs. 1t is through
one of the back windows that the bold
robber entered.
After removing the screen, section
was broken from the lower part of the
upper window sash The lock was
thus exposed and the window raised.
The method of entrance was the same
as that employed at the Perry J. Moss
residence on South Thirteenth street
a week ago Thursday night. This
leads to the belief that one man who
is familiar with the customs and the
movements of people in the city is
responsible for all three of the rob-
berries.
PiIlage Rooms and Closets
At the Hoffman house, the rooms
and chests had been pillaged as at the
Reynolds home. Only the iewelry and
the same amount of cash was taken.
Silverware which the robber found
was not disturbed. The Hoffman fam

over the rooms and in the dining room
there was evidence that the intruder
had made meal, leaving only crusts
of bread and some scraps.
These are among the boldest rob-
berries ever perpetrated in Richmond,
both being committed in broad day
light within sight and hearing of many
persons.
The robber left no clues.
