Excerpt from The James Whitcomb Riley Reader: Selected, Graded, and With the Suggestions for the Observance of Riley Day Thousands of lines as genuine as these were sent to the poet by the children on his last birthday. All of them showed that the celebra tion of Riley Day is a genuine expression.of the love of the children of Indiana for their own Hoosier poet.
