Receipts from the home have
decreased sc greatly in the last
year, according to officials of the
association, that it is impossible
to keep a paid caretaker. Miss
Kindell is the owner of all the
furniture in the home, with the
exception of that of the library,
Riley's bedroom and the dining
room.
TINE home was bought by Will
Il liam Fortune, friend of Riley,
in 1917, in the year following Ri
ley's death.
1t later came into the possession
of the Riley Memorial Association,
with Miss Kindell in charge.
The house was built in 1872 by
John r. Nickum, who came to
indianapolis from Madison, Ind.
Among the mementoes of the
house is a flag which draped the
carriage of General William T.
Sherman, friend of Nickum.
Upon Nickum's death, the house
passed into the hands of his
daughter, Mrs. Magdalene Hol-
stein, wife of Major Charles l..
Holstein. Major Holstein and Ri
ley became acquainted when the
poet was living at the Denison
hotel.
When Riley expressed his dis
satisfaction with his lonely hotel
life Major Holstein invited him
to become a member of his house
hold, and in the early nineties
Riley went to Lockerbie street to
live.
TT was in the home on Lockerbie
Il street that Riley entertained
many well-known people. Among
them were Bliss Carmen, General
Lew Wallace, Robert Burdette,
Joel Chandler Harris, Meredith
Nicholson, Henry Van Dyke, Frank
L. Stanton, Charles Major, George
AIDE, and the late Thomas A. Edi-
son.
When on lecture tours, Riley
wrote letters to Mr.. and Mrs.
Holstein, expressing inconsistencies
for the house on Lockerbie street.
One of his best known poems it
the one entitled 'Lockerbie
Street. in which he said:
oh. my Lockerbie street! You are fair
to be seen
Be it noon of the day, or the rare and
Afternoon of the night-you are one
to my heart.
And 1 love you above all the phrases
of art,
For no language could frame and no
lips could repeat
My rhyme haunted raptures of Locker
bic street.
ID LEY suffered the final stroke
IN of paralysis which caused his
death July %, 1916, at his Locker
bic street home.
Miss Kindell will leave the home
the first of April, taking with her
furnishings of all but three rooms.
She will offer these for sale.

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. Do you know the reasons2
The dose of a liquid laxative can be

trolled. 1t forms no habit; you need
not take double dose" day or

iaratipe irritote the kidneys.
The right liquid laxative brings a
perfect movement, and there is
no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may keep
you constipated as long as you keep
on using itf And the habitual use Of
irritating salts, or of powerful drugs
in the highly concentrated form Of
pills and tablets may prove injurious.
A week with properly prepared
liquid laxative like DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A
few weeks time, and your bowels
can be ''as regular as clockwork."
