! HOW GREAT MEN
} MAKE LOVE
AS REVEALED BY THEIR
LOVE LETTERS
JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY
AND ELIZABETH KAHLE
By JOSEPH KAYE


CENDING a "tintype" of himself to
Elizabeth Kahle. James Whitcomb
Riley, Americas beloved poet, accom-,
panied 1t with the following lines:
! send you shadow ghost OF face.
To haunt you forever with eyes.
That look In your own with the ten
derest grace
Affectionate art can devise.
And had they the power to sparkle and
speak
In the language of smiles and tears.
Tho rainbow Of love would illumine tho
cheek,
And Danish the gloom that appears.
The heart correspondence between
Riley and Miss Kahle lasted five years,
two of which were passed without their
having seen each other. The end came
when Miss Kahle became Mrs. Brunn
and thought 1t improper to continue the
correspondence. The actual facts Of
the romance are little known as yet
and one can only guess at the story
underlying Riley's love letters. From
Greenfield. in August %, 1879. Riley
wrote Miss Kahle:
"Your letter is so kind-so very kind
and good that must write at once to
thank you for it and grab your two
warm hands close in my own and
wiring them fervently. Only you must
not be concerned about my health or
welfare-anything- / don't de-
serve such interest from anyone so
good as you. do smile though when
you say I want to ask like / do Of
children when they cry, what Is the
matter? Tell me!
Surely, If you feel like that, and
indeed you comprehend me just as
ana little helpless child who would
thank God with all his boyish heart II
you just would-now, this minute
put your hands over my eyes and Say.
Now. you must Sleep only-only--I
want to be strong enough to bear my
burden and your dear words make me
weak. You don't know-y0u can't
know-what weight 1t is and how
heavier it grows each weary step !
take.
Forgive me, but you mustn't be so
good to me, because want you to be
happy-not like me, who cannot even
lift my empty hands at times and ask
Gods help. You make me want to call
you little girl You make me want to
come to you. creeping on my face and
hands, to get away from all the world
and rest-rest.
After Riley's death Mrs. Brunn be
came addicted to spiritualism and
sought and obtained-throu the kind
ness of mediums spirit messages from
the poet. One of these messages was OBJ
tanned in 1921, produced by medium
in pencil. in Rifey's autograph. Here
It Is: -
With the selfsame sunlight upon us,
am writing. dear love. somewhere,
He you would honor. he that you wish
for, id s a as W
Thy king. thy loved one. ''over
there"
1t seems an insult to the memory OF
a genius to associate such verse as
the above with his name, even though
the association is made in private. The
doggerel however, has the merit of be-
ing up-to-date, for note the popular
war phrase, "over there"

Plenty OF Preparation
Necessary For Success
OF Summer Ring Sholus

From present indications there
will be no boxing show in this city
again next week and it would be just
as well for the National Sporting
Club to remain idle until time when
the moguls can give the proper time
to preparations for a show.
4 IT, was at first planned to run a
show this week, last night, and when
the time flew by without preparations
being made, Milton Mann, the local
representative, made known that the
semi-monthly shows would be con-
tfnued starting next Thursday.
Jake Friedman, of New Bruns-
wick, is associated with Mann in the
local undertaking, and the county
seat club in which Friedman is in
terested, has prepared a card for
next Monday night. Herman Sail
orr Schwartz, matchmaker for the
two clubs, is said to be connected
with the local club although week
Or so ago, it was announced that he
: was through with the fistic sport.
Boxing has had fairly good sea-
son here and If the moguls are to
promote proposed shows during the
summer months in way that the
future success of the sport will be
endangered, it would be just as well
to remain idle until next fall when
foundations for a new season could
be laid. A few mistakes during the
summer possibly would kill the sport
for the next campaign.
: Messrs. Mann and Poulsen, both
of this city, were in charge of Che
local boxing undertaking at the
start of this campaign, and while
they did make a few errors in at
tempting to duplicate the feats Of
