Mr. Riley's Boyhood Home At Greenfield, Indiana


Do They Miss Me at Home?  Sing it lower-And softer-and sweet as the breeze That powdered our path with the snowy White bloom of the old locus' trees.

As one who cons at evening oer an album all alone.  And muses on the faces of the friends that he has known Soliurn the leaves of fancy till, in shadowy design, I find the smiling features of an old sweetheart of mine


The Old Swimmin' Hole, near Greenfield, Ind.

But the air is so appetizin and the landscape thru the haze, Of a crisp and sunny morning of the airly autumn days Is a Picture no painter has the colorin to mock, When the Frost is on the Punkin and the fodder's in the shock

Mr. Riley's Present Home, Indianapolis, Ind.


Her mother was jes' twenty when us two run away!  Nothing to say, my daughter!  Nothin' at all to say!

ELBERT R. MOSES
America's Gifted Interpreter
Mr. Moses has been for years a leading attraction on Lyceum and Chautauqua Programs.  During the past three years more than two hundred of his programs have been given on the Pennsylvania, Redpath-Brockway and Independent systems.  The secret of Mr. Moses' success is found in his purpose.  He believes the Interpreter should wield as much influence for good upon the platform as does the Lecturer.  That this purpose rings true is attested by the fact that wherever his Lectures have been given, they have not only served to entertain, but have left an inspiration for nobler thoughts; and a higher plane of living.



ELBERT R. MOSES
Visits the Home of Riley
Mr. Moses since childhood has been a lover of Riley Rhymes.  He began by reciting them at his mother's knee.  Recently he was accorded the rare privilege, through the courtesy of the poet, of being received into his own home, where he learned for the first time that Little Orphan Annie was a real personage, and that Uncle Sidney was the poet himself.  He also learned of the inspirations which lead to the writing of some of the poet's poems which he had been reciting.  Fresh from this visit, Mr. Moses brings to the public almost the last word on Riley and Riley Lore.



JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY
America's Poet-Laureate
Is a popular Interpretive Lecture from the life and works of our greatest living poet.  This lecture is replete with interesting events of the poet's life—his school days, his career as a circus lad, as a tramp painter, an editor, and his early struggles for recognition in the literary field.  Also many stories, and anecdotes are related of his public and private life, together with the reciting of many of his famous poems of Nature, Childhood, and the Common people.  Wit, humor and pathos are mingled throughout the entire program.  This lecture pulsates with human interest.

Compliments of
ELBERT R. MOSES, Litt. D. President and Founder PITTSBURGH SCHOOL OF SPEECH Law and Finance Bldg.  PITTSBURGH, PA.


Fondly do we hope and fervently do we pray—
that this mighty scourge of war shall soon pass away.
With malice toward none and charity for all—
with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right—
let us strive on to finish the work that we are in:
to bind up the nation's wounds—
to care for him who shall have bourne the battle—
and for his widow and for his orphans:
to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace—
AMONG OURSELVES AND ALL NATIONS.

Abraham Lincoln.
