James Whitcomb Riley in prose and picture . e ** Old SwimminHole n was so favorable that of Boone was moved to send anotherpoem with another letter to the Swimmin Hole was publishedin the Journal June \ 7, J882, Riley hav-ing been employed for some time by thepaper before this poem appeared. Most of his work has been done forthe Indianapolis Journal and afterwardsgathered in book form. He had been apersistent writer when working in theface of discouragement. Now, with suc-cess attending him, he became of his critics have said that hewrote too much, and in doing so wroteof trivialities. They bewailed the factthat he chose subjects which did not lendthemselves to dignified poetic treatment. It is this very fact which has placedRiley close to the people and has madehim the most popular poet in the coun-try. His Neighborly Poems/ Rhymesof Childhood, Green Fields and Run-ning Brooks treat of intensely humansubjects—subjects that have a part in thelives of the great mass of the people. ?!
