HONEYM00NERS walk
ACROSS THE COUNTRY
Took Pair Two Years to Make
the Long Trips. y

Harrisburg, Pa.-Journeys across the
continent twice on foot within a Pc
Rod of two years marked the unique
honeymoon trip taken by Mr. and Mrs.
John Broxman, who live near here.
In the twenty -four months that they
have been away the young married
couple have traversed the parched
sands Of the semitropical countries of
the south, the fertile valleys of the mid
die west and the rugged mountain
paths Of the far western states. They
are happy and have returned to their
home without reporting a mishap.
In making their long journey on foot
Mr.. and Mrs. Broxman have won both
fame and fortune, for not only were
they cordially welcomed in all the
towns and cities through which they
passed, but as the result Of their long
hike they have been presented with a
large sum of money by brother-in-law
Of Mrs. Broxman in California, and
henceforth they will make their home
on a farm which has been purchased
by the bridegroom near Harrisburg.
Mr.. and Mrs. Broxman were married
two years ago and had planned to
spend their honeymoon quietly in the
east. But Mrs. Broxman's brother-in-
law in Santa Anna, CAL. told them that
he would present them with substan-
tial sum of money if they would take
as their honeymoon trip "strolr' from
Harrisburg to California and back
again. They decided to try to win
the prize held out to them, so imme-
diately after the wedding ceremony
was performed they started on their
long hike.

GERMANS CONTINUE TO
BUY AMERICAN HORSES
How They Send Them Home Is
a Deep Mystery to Dealers.

Lincoln, Neb.-Representatives of all
Of the principal nations at war in Eu-
rope are combing the west for horses
for the armies Several of the horse
buyers bear titles; the majority of
them are men who have been at the
head of great establishments in Bel
GUM and France, which formerly sup
piled America with draft horse stall
lions. One who was recently in Lin
coin was paid 50 day and expenses
for his work. Before the war he drew
$4,000 year as manager Of great
breeding stable in Normandy
How the few German buyers get
their purchases through is mystery,
and they refuse to elucidate. They
make it plain that that is their own
business, and they keep on buying.
Some of the largest dealers in this
section have been asked to bid on
$4,000 head shipment for the German
government payable by drafts on New
York.
In the beginning spectators and
business men jumped into the game,
taking large contracts or subcontracts.
The ruling prices for the grades de-
sired were $3.50 and SITS, subject to
inspection, which was very rigid, and
a large portion of each shipment was
rejected. Rather than carry these back
to the west the dealers sold them ut
the points of shipment for what they
could get.
That there are horse traders in Eu-
rope and dealers with sharp eyeteeth
was proved by the fact that number
Of these rejected animals were ship
ped to Europe, the purchasers being
government agents, who took this
means of showing American dealers
some tricks in horse buying, purchas-
ing in the guise of, contractors who de-
sired the animals for the northwest.
The fact that the greater part of the
supply in the west has already been
purchased or is in the hands Of specu-
lators, holding for the raise they feel
certain will come with continuance
of the war, has led to a letting down
Of the inspection bars. Hundreds of
animals that formerly would have not
received second look are now going
through. The stable boys say that
the fat ones are given the preference.
White and gray horses are taboo
because they are shining marks on the
battlefield. The one thing the buyers
are particular about is the wind. They
require swift galloping for block or
two before the inspector decides.
