'‘Millionaire Hobo” Is Wed to Lincoln Bachelor Girl” Edwin A. Brown and Eva Thompson Married in Denver—Both Are 68 Years Old. Denver, Colo., Aug. 2.—Edwin A. Brown, known throughout the United States as Denver's “millionaire tramp,” author and student of social conditions, was married here yester day to Miss Eva Thompson of Lincoln, Neb., said to be an heiress, and sister of David Eugene Thompson, former United States ambassador to Brazil and Mexico. The wedding was solemnized at the First Methodist church. The couple will start on a honeymoon trip through the mountains tomorrow. Both Mr. and Mrs. Brown are 68. Despite her advanced years, the bride smilingly told newspaper men that she had never considered her self an old maid. She said she had received many offers of marriage, but had experienced but one great love. Thirty-five years ago Brown was practically without funds and un known. It was then he met Miss Thompson in Lincoln. They fell in love, but because of objections from her family, she declined to marry. Brown left and subsequently married. Several years ago, his first wife died. After the death of his wife, Brown and Miss Thompson renewed their friendship. Brown had become wealthy. He was interested in the conditions of unemployed men and one day decided to become one of the country’s army of tramps to better study their lives and their ambitions. Some day, he says, he will place his fortune to some good purpose in aid ing them. During the years he "rpde the rods’’ and afterward, Brown took time to write several books on the problems of unemployment among them being "Broke” and “The Man Without a Dime.” Mr. and Mrs. Brown will make their home in Denver.

Halner, Doane college trustee, had denied that any action was being considered rela tive to the removal of the school from Crete, Neb., to Beatrice.

Burgess Bedtime Stories i By THORNTON W. BURGESS. A sweeter phrase no tongue may know Than these few words: I told you so. —Nanny Meadow Mouse. Wu the World Coming to an Endf Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse were prisoners in an old tin can at the foot of a fence post on the edge of Farmer Brown’s cornfield. They knew that Just outside Black Pussy the Cat was watching and watting for one of them to come out. They knew that Black Pussy knew that there were two of them In there, and "So you know those mice were in there!” that, knowing this, she would have Just double the patience. It meant that she was likely to remain there most of the day. "Never mind," said Danny. "There Is a comfortable bed in here, and we can stay here all day just as well as not. Black Pussy's patience will give out some time." "The trouble Is," said Nanny, "we won’t know when It does give out. Now you see, Danny, how much bet ter that place where we have our home Is than this thing would have been.” Danny thought of how disappoint ed he had been because Nanny had chosen to make their new home In (he old scarecrow Instead of Jn that old ran. "You were right as usual, my dear,” said he. "That cat will probably come down here every day after this." There being nothing else to do, Danny and Nanny eagh curled up for a nap. How long they had been asleep they had no Idea, when they were awakened by the sound of heavy footsteps. They didn't know at first what the sound was, and be fore they were awake enough to fully understand, there came a tre mendous noise, and the old tin can rolled over and over. Danny and Nanny thought the end of the world had come. Yes, sir, they thought the end of the world had come. All the frights they ever had experienced put together couldn't have been W-orse than their fright now. They were thrown over and over, and from pne end of that old can to the I Forty-Six Years of Service Has Per fected Hartmann Tranks From the stage-coach days 1 right up to the present mo- j ment of high speed and great luxury in travel—Hartmann has kept pace with progress.

They scrambled to their feet, and out of that little opening as fast as their legs could take them. They had forgotten all about Black Pussy. "Well, well, well,” exclaimed a vole# as the two gray little forms disappeared In the cornfield. “If I had known you were in there I wouldn't have kicked that old can. "No, sir, 1 wouldn't have kicked that old can. 1 am afraid 1 frightened you almost to death. U is too bad." It was Farmer Brown's boy. He had come along on the edge of the cornfield and had seen that old can lying at the foot of one of- the fence poses. Boy-fashion, he had kicked it and sent it flying. It wras that kick which had made the terrible noise, for you see that can was made of tin and wns hollow. Of course to Danny and Nanny Inside the noise had been terrible. It was just after he had kicked that can that farmer Brown’s boy had no ticed Black Pussy. "Ho you knew those mice were in there." said he. "That's why we haven’t seen any thing of you up at the house all day. Well, X guess you won't get those mice this time.” His guess was quite right. Danny and Nanny were already safely back in their home In the middle of the old scarecrow. And to this day they haven't the least Idea what happened when they thought the world had come to an end.
