KENTUCKY HOME COMING.

Chicagoans Form Daniel Boone Club
 For Trip to Southern Fete.
 The land of the blue grass, of fine horses and. beautiful women, Ken lucky. now Is calling its sons and daughters home, says the Chicago Post. The call has been heard by 5000 Chicagoans who still recall with ten derness their "old Kentucky homes."
 There will be home coming June 1917 for all Kentuckians who have wandered to strange lands and foreign shores, and a five days programme has been arranged by the Commercial club of Louisville. Reception and welcome day" will be Wednesday, June 13. All visitors will register at the 119 county headquarters at the new armory. Henry Watterson will deliver the address of welcome. Former Gov ernor David R. Francis of Missouri will respond.
 For the purpose of interesting the Chicago colony in the reunion the Ken lucky Boone club has been organized. E. J. Smith is president and c. E. Weber secretary. The club has sent out invitations to all former Kentuck.- ans now known to be residing in Chi cago. It Is planned to send special trains bearing the Chicago delegation to reach Louisville in time for the inl- tial ceremonies. The invitations are so worded as to reach the heart of every true Kentuckian.
 They will come" said Mir. Weber recently, when they hear the first bar of old Kentucky Home No native son can resist that tune. We want ev- erybody to go back home. if only for few days, next month. Why, the corn is being plowed. the wheat is nearly ready for harvest, the hedges are bright with weeds. and the cricket is already heralding midsummer. Every one ought to come and pay tribute to his native state. Everybody should go back and mingle with the bravest. truest and most refined of people. peo- pie who are popular everywhere. and see the sun shine again on the Ken lucky fields"

HUMAN MUSEUM PLAN
Texas Woman Would Make Sci-
 entific Study of Youth.
WITH BOYS OF ALL HATI0NALITIEs

Miss 5. J. Tellar U3 wiIlis, Tex, Pre-
 poses to Found an Institution h
 Valparaiso, Ina, Where Lads May
 Be Studied to Good Advantage-To
 Educate Them h Any Branch.
 Miss Stella J. Tellar of Willis, Tex. is planning unique enterprise which she hopes to establish at Valparaiso, Ind, within the next few years and which is nothing less than human zoo," says special dispatch from Willis, Tex, to the Chicago Post.
 According to Miss Tellar's dreams, she will found an institution in which boys of all nationalities may be brought together for the purpose of comparison, her theory being that the different peoples of the earth can be studied to better advantage where they are associated and placed under the same conditions.
 Already Miss Tellar Is in communica- tion with number of people whom she hopes to interest in the project and has asked them to secure for her boys that they happen to know from foreign lands. She promises to pay all the ex- penses and agrees to educate the lads in any branch they may desire.
 T intend to have large farm in con nection with my proposed home," says Miss Tellar, land in connection with this a school where law, medicine, mu- sic and trades will be taught. The farm is to be equipped with the latest machinery. and practical agriculture will be taught. I now am working out the plans for the enterprise and expect to be able to purchase the land and begin the erection of buildings within the next two years. Meanwhile am trying to locate available boys who will move into the home as soon as it is ready for them. I desire to make them happy in their new surroundings and to give them educations, so that they will be made better able to make their way in the world"
 Miss Tellar, who is not yet middle aged, is a prospector for minerals and expects by her discoveries to make enough money in the next few years to start her project. She makes a con tract with owners of land to locate mineral deposits on their lands and stipulates that she is to receive g per cent of all profits resulting. She is having some success in her methods. which she guards jealously.

MEN WHO MAKE CIRCUS FUN.

A circus without clowns would be almost tragic. The 'thrillers" with which the modern circus perform ance Is interspersed would pail upon the audience. no matter how daring or death defying if the tension was not relieved. at intervals, by the merry antics 'of the Grimaldis. The management of the Barnum ( Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, which ex- hibits in this city June l2. has recog- nized this fact by organizing for the current season a company of forty clowns. each one of whom is said to be a specialist and comedian.
 Among the big shows merry-mak- CTS are many of International reputa- ton. Spader Johnson. who is uni versally known as the creator of the clown band. has furnished merriment for audiences all over the world: rn- nocenu and Albertino are two French clowns who are introducing some novel ideas in acrobatic fun to the American public: the Brothers Ken nard are American clowns of original fty. and Dan Marvelle.
