HONEYMOONERS WALK
ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Took Pair Two Years to Make the Long Trips.

Harrisburg, Pa.—Journeys across the continent twice on foot within a period 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 middle 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 a 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 a substantial sum of money if they would take as their honeymoon trip a "stroll" from Harrisburg to California and back again. They decided to try to win the prize held out to them, so immediately after the wedding ceremony was performed they started on their long hike.
