WANT 100000.
AN EFFORT TO BE MADE TO
HAVE THE LEGISLATURE
GIVE THIS.

An effort is to be made to have the
coming Kentucky legislature appropri.
ate 5000. 900 for Kentucky's exhibit at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
St. Louis in 1908. The board Of trade
at Louisville and other commercial
clubs have been asked TO take up the
master. and when the legislature meets
there will be on hand a delegation
from the exposition managers, prob
ably led by the president Of the
bosrd himself.
Il is understood that the governor
in his message will recommend
$4,000, and certainly not more
than $50. 900. The latter is the
amount appropriated for the Chicago
exposition several years ago, and
ss6. 200 was left over and returned.

Hers was a home in which the theolo-

Some very innocent amusements were

companions were few. Happily for

poets, Mrs. Moulton began to write
