That Old Sweetheart of RiIey's

Baltimore Sun) He wrote of her so lovin' and so tenderly you know The sweetheart of his bosom in the golden long ago. And today sit here thinkin' maybe now she's meetin' him In that land of rest and quiet where the shadows grow so dim. Oh, wouldn't that be happy, if he'd got her back again After all these years of waitn' while he sang bit to men, And stayed here sendin sunshine all around him day by day For the ones that still survive him and the ones that went away! She'll know his footsteps wonder when she hears 'em or the street, And won't the flowers be bloomin' when they both look up and meet! And won't her tears flow softly, and his gentle bosom swell, As they stand there in the glory of loves everlastin' spell! The way he wrote about her makes us all so sure that he Had a sweetheart, really-truly, in the days that used to be;

TRIBUTES OF THE PRESS
 TO THE CHILDREN'S POET
James Whitcomb Riley


 Written in 1910 by Charles Eugene Banks
 and published in the Seattle Peace Pipe,
 when it was reported that MT. Riley was
 dying, after a stroke of apoplexy, What, Jim, say no; it isn't true, We shan't get on amlssln you. The children would forget to play Old fellow, don't, don't go away We'd feel the lonesomeness, l think, In every fower-how could we drink The fragrance of the morning breeze And hear the music in the trees Or through the meadows find our way Why, brother, you've just got to stay. You know the little talk we had One night when I was feelin' sad; You said there weren't no sorrow then But what obeyed the laugh of men And proved your sayin' true and sweet By settin' me upon my feet. Oh many a time I've blessed that day Say, Jim, you just cant go away. Why, what would all the children do, Come Christmas, with no word from you And dear old aunties, childless, lone, Without a home to call their own, Just boardn' round "unknown to fame, Hungry for one thing they can claim Their own-sh, Jim, what would they dc If they should lose a-hold O you? Dear Lord," I hear the children pray, Don't take our bestest friend away"

HER LAs,l, SMILE


My dear, dear sister, miss you
Everywhere ! go everything do,
Your sweet presence seems to haunt
me,
And your smile, your smile I see.
l turn and look for your dear form,
AS you stood on that last Septem-
Der morn,
When to you a last goodbye, | said,
Nor dreamed when next I'd see
you, you'd be dead.
/ felt as neared your home,
That you would meet me not be
gone,
That with your smile and your kiss,
You would greet me, my little Sis.
When gazed on your form so still,
My heart with unnameless grief,
was filed,
Your lips were cold, could not speak
Your happy Home you had gone to
seek.
But the smile, yes it was there.
And made your face look so sweet,
so fair,
And tho it was your last smile and
to me sad,
You met me just as you always
had.
