sold widely, and the time came when
he could be ranked as "a famous
poet
An 18-year-old girl in Chicago

was deeply pleased by them. She
had just become one of the editors
of a small weekly paper, and she
sent Riley $25, asking him to send
her that much worth of poetry.
Riley promptly prepared a poem
and sent it to the young lady, whose
name was Clara Laughlin. She was
very happy when the poem arrived,
and it was published in her paper
as "a great feature"
That little incident led to a fur
ther exchange of letters, and Miss
Laughlin attended a meeting of
writer's in Indiana. There she met
the poet whom she admired so
much, and walked around the town
with him. When they went into
mems clothing store, where Riley
wanted to make a purchase, the
owner of the place said:
The last time I saw Mr.. Riley
was when he was right young fell
low. He painted me sign and I've
still got it!"
Before long, Clara Laughlin pre-
pared and published a birthday
book" under the title of The Golden
Year" 1t contained lines from many
of Riley's poems. The volume
pleased the poet, and from that
time onward he called her his Ga
vorite author"
Now and then Riley travelled to
various cities to read his poems be-
fore crowds which gathered to listen
to him. He felt very nervous before
each meeting, but the crowds were
we'll pleased Twas said that he
had "a golden voice"
Riley lived until 1916. Few writers
have had such honor as was given
to him toward the end of his life.
The State of Indiana made his
birthday an official holiday.
