Both Mr. and Mrs. Brown are sixty-eight years Engaged 40 Yea** Ago. .• ;|e early forty yean ago Brown and Miss Thompson were engaged to be married, but Brown was then poor and his suit was frowned upon by members of her family.

Mayor Speer told him he required a man who knew tramps. Brown thereupon doffed his fine raiment, put on old clothes and started out as a tramp. He said he wanted to study the unemployed at first hand, find out how they lived and what their ambitions were, and then help them. He did this. and> in time became^ Knows natloa-wide as tbe millionaire tramp. He rode bm cars witl them, shared their meals In wayside camps and slept with tliem In bo* cars. "Out of-his experience rose a desire to tell the world about them, and he turned author. Two of tbe best Kpowi ajf these books are "Broke." and "The Map Without a Dime."

"His philosophy rings with a religion of reason that ha« made m.v love sacred. I think it was wonderful for him to make the crusade he did. and still more wonderful to write about it so beautifully. I shall add all the power I possess in aiding Mr. Brown In his declaration that no human being In this great civilized country of ours shall be without food or shelter simply because unluckily theytind themselves without wort." • ' •'"Uii: * ' " i. . , Economic Handling of ffig Crop on the Coast Kansas u.

Her brother was then one of the big offlciala of the Burlington railroad and owned a string of eating houses. After serving her apprenticeship" in the business she became the manager of them railroad restaurants and operated them for years until his growing fortune found other means of Increasing his revenue, and he sold out Miss Thompson then devoted her attention to civic betterment programs which she outlined and carried out under the patronage of a number of women's clubs.

Ford of Sanford, In this state was suddenly left a widow with a 400-acre farm, a seven-year-old boy, a $6,000 mortgage and no experience as a farmer. She got right out in the field, did as much physical work as a man, plowed and she listed. 8he cut wheat and looked aft^ the threshing. When hogs were op, she raised hogs. When hogs went down, sbe raised cattle. In between time she milked cows and took care of ber 300 thoroughbred chickens. Prefers Farm Wer* te School. She has paid off the $6,000 mortgage, has her farm clear of debt, with the whole 400 acres under cultivation, has a herd of cattle and a bunch of tot of chickens, and Is "sitting pretty." And in addition to all tbis farm work Mrs. Ford. . who was once a school teacher, keeps up her yard Just like It was a city lawn. She has roses and all sorts of dowers, has planted shade trees and ornumental shrubs and trees, and today has probably the Shanghai.--one conceivable?* mrana . _ -- , by which the moon, us well as Mars best kept and most inviting farm and Venues, might be visited, is through Memorial Medallion of Harding home in the county. But It dldp't look that way when. seven years ago. with ber small son, she came to live on tbe farm, with m experience and a big debt banging over her. "Decidedly 1 would rather work on the farm than teach school" says Mrs. I1 ord. "I have farmed seven years and 1 taught school in a city school for four years. 1 prefer the farming." Made Money on Hogs. Mr. Ford died late iu the summer, •even years ago. He had already plowed up the land for wheat, but the seeding hud uot been done. Mrs. Ford hired a man and the two of them put in the wheat. "But the winds blew tbe seed out of tbe ground aud we raised nothing." says Mrs. Ford. "In fact, we^have never made anything raising wheat. Once in a while we had a good wheat crop, but not often. Sometimes one thing happened lo it; sometimes another."

Heet'Utly tbe woman fanner has rented 240 acres of her land and la now operating but 160 acres herself. She has 100 acres 11 pasturage and 60 acres in kaffir corn. In addition to the cattle, she sells ten gallons of cream every week from her milch cows, for which she gets $8 per week. "1 ihade good money with my chickens last winter," she says. "I have 800 White Rocks and 00 laying liens. I have been selling about twenty-four doxen eggs a week. "The cattle, hogs and chickens have paid off the mortgage. The wheat has just about paid taxes and Interest. I never coulo have paid that mortgage off by raising wheat alone." "I'm going to raise less wheat In future and more beef cattle, hens and hogs," says Mrs. Ford. "My seven, years' experience has taught me that In those three items Is the secret of farming success."

HUNTERS PAY HIGH 1 RENT FOR SCOTCH HOMES • rnmSi- Stately Houses in Demand as Grouse Season Opens. .London.--Hundreds of thousands ot acres of Scottish moors and Bcores of tbe most stately Scottish homes have been rented at fabulous prices by wealthy Americans and Britishers for the forthcoming grouse shooting season. in which Kiug Ueorge wlii participate. Bernard Barueb and C. iL'Mackay of New York are among'the wealthy Americans who have rented estates and are entertaining large house parties for the season. Bernard Baruch has rented the magnificent Fetteresso, In County Kincardine. whUe Mackay has taken t'astle Grant, with 19.000 acres of broad Scottish moors. They have taken over these famous old houses complete for two or three months, with all their staffs and furniture, lock, stock and barrel. Many members of parliament have also taken "shootings" and agents report that nearly all the best estates have been taken at good rental Prices for the season are ^higher than last year, according to the agents. They attribute this to the high cost of labor and upkeep during the empty season. Rents are. being mainly based at the rate of per brace of grouse and $150 a stag, with the cost of the house in addition. Some of the smaller "shootings" can be had for $500 a month, but. as a whole, Scotland is divided Into large estates and the cost of these runs into something over five figures. This is likely to be a good season for game, gamekeepers report The breeding season has been good and reports from* all parts indicate that there are plenty of pheasant^ black game and snipe. Four large estates are still withal ont shooting season tenants, among* them being the famous Thurso castles for which $10,000 is being asked. King George has often stayed at Thurso for the season and has ma^e some of his most famous "bags" there. tbe discharge on a large scale of radio-activity, anU through the solution of the problem of the disintegration of matter Into belium or hydrogen atoms. This Is the belief of Dr. Herbert Chatley. May Be Life on the Moon. In a/4ecture before the Quest society here, recently, Doctor Chatley said that the presence of life on the moon would be a matter of surpassing importance, but as yet there la no very good evidence in its favor, and It seems almost Inconceivable. There can be little or no water there, since no clouds are visible. There is also little or uo air. Add to these facts the conditions that the days are 27 times as long as ours and that the temperature at lunar midday is greater than that of boiling water and at lunar midnight lower tb-tn that of the terrestrial poles and It will be understood that the circumstances are by no means propitious for life as we know It. he explains. Can there then be life In some other are inclined to think that tbe very cciuplax combinations which form the basis of our substance are unique, so' that while It is conceivable -hat latent life may exist in a frozen state, active life is only possible between the freezing and boiling points 'of water. Having discussed the question whether the moon wasionce part of the earth, as well ay the lutluence of the moon upon the earth. Doctor Chatley continued: J Jules VerneMad Idea. "Speculative persona, mostly romancers, have luvented various methods by which they conceive the uioon might be refched. Balloons or airplanes are out of the question since the earth's atmosphere thins out to practically nothing about 100 miles up. Without that there la nothing to support them. "Jules Verne imagined an enormous gun, with a shell as the lunar expresa (return pussage not guaranteed). By the use of a very King guu and a charge more than 25 times as heavy as. the uhell, the necessary velocity (nearly ten mi!ia per second) might perhups be attained, but the acceleration would have the unfortunate effect ofr squashing the }.»-singers to pulp just after they sfuctec which (night impair thelf enjoj ment of the trip. "H. d Wells imagined s material called "cavorlte" which was impervious to gravitation so that If it were placed under anything it would fly off under the Influence of the attracting bodies on the upper side. His lunar cat; was a spherical box which had removable windows of cavorlte so that attraction In any deaired direction could be used. "Unfortunately this Idea, quite apart • from the unfortunate fact that no such substance Is known, is mechanically irreconcilable with a mechanical principle which may be popularly termed tbe Impossibility of perpetual motion.' If cavorlte shutters were opened and shut at intervals of time the car would go up and down perpetually without any work being done. Incidentally tbis indicates a very remarkable fact, that gravitation ia In- action." TRAVELER FAILS TO FIND . BIGGEST THING IN Globe Trotter Obtains 57 Pounds of Names in 21 Years. Cleveland, O.--Josef F. Mlkulec has wandered over 200,000 miles seeking "The Biggest Thing In Life." And after twenty-one years of globe trotting and autograph collecting, he isn't sure but what he might have found the object of hla search right at home In California. "1 have visited kings and queens, presidents, governors snd notables In all lands. I have seen every country and every city; have traveled wnen and where 1 pleased--but 1 nave missed the biggest thing in liftt* he says sadly. "The biggest thing? Companionship --rest companionship. "I meet scores of people every day. But they aren't interested In me and 1 can't get tbe opportunity to become interested In them. They want to know of my travels, and I've got to tell It all over again. "When the day is done. 1 haven't | anyone 1 can sit down and talk with as one friend talks with another.

Twenty-one years ago--he's fortylive now--Joe left his home in Croatia, a province of Hurignry. He's been walking ever slntt, tnrough s score of nations and every state in tbe United States. Now he wants a little farm somewhere In his adopted country. Ha sees a wheat field, or maybe rows of corn and tomatoes and plows and horses and chickens--and neighbors. Joe's autograph book weighs ST pounds now. Names that would annua you are written in It. Just about every world character except John D. Rockefeller and the King of England. He usee a little wagon to carry the book. It is so heavy. For many years, however, he carried it, but it wasn't that big then. Joe wanta to see his book finally placed in a museum or^ library. He hopes someone will buy it foe that purpose. Price? He won't say, but he doea add that what it brings will buy the farm and have plenty left over to tide him through the remainder of thla life with friends. Rata Deeert Ship.

The goods sold were principally her late majesty's dresses, slippers, gowns, laces and furs. Most of the stuff was bought by dealers, although some of the former empress' servants aud followers were able to buy small articles. The 100 lots brought about $10,000, which would hardly have paid for one of the court gowns worn Ht the royal festivities in the days of splendor. A lot of rare Alencon lace brought $1,115, and a fur stole $525. A beautiful rug Into which was woven the royal cipher with the arms of Spain and France, given to the empress on her wedding day by the carpetmakers of Seville, was bought by a Frenchman and will be presented to a French museum. It Is supposed to have been on this rug that the Emperor Napoleon III and empress knelt wjhen they received the blessing after their marriage.
