Sonnanstine: of -Girard, Kan., who possesses half:a million dol- lars and “hates themn everyone” is in St. Louls-to found a hobo college, says the St. Louls. Star. X The hobo college will teach a man his A B C’s if he doesn’t know them. It will “also teach a number of useful trades. The founder is an ardent dis- ciple of James Eads Howe of St. Louis, the original “millionaire hobo.” Sonnanstine grows quite’ indignant when he attacks the popular associa- tion of the hobo with the “panhandler,” the “moocher,” the professional tramp or. the “barrel house” denizen. Tramps, he characterizes as frre- trievables who have been outlawed by the hoboes. . “Hobo,” he told a reporter, “Is de- rived from ‘bo,” a word used in Austria, meaning ‘&' worker traveling to and’| from his work. ‘Ho! is a universak sdlutation of ome man to his' fellow- the hail of a cheery man.
