More men aro re ported missing !"-
there are bojs and girls together, and the
lire portion of women who disappear is sur
prisingly small, all things considered. Host
of the men who wander away are between
the ages of 21 and 40. and a great many
seem to possess a desire to go away when
thej reach the. age of 33. A goodly num
ber of married men drift away, and the
inquiries made are usually instituted bj
their sorrowing wlve There is quite a.
dash of tho comical In a great many of
these so-called disappearances, for ojjten
a man will go away on a hunting or fish
ing expedition, or will meet an old college
chum and they will have a night of It, and
before 10 o'clock the next day tnere will
be a description left at the nearest police
station minutely describing "George, and

about him. and many are the tears shed
ami great Is the "hullaballoo" when George
returns. . . ... ,
Among the monotonously horrible in
scriptions In these books are the ones
which begin: 'There is now at the morgue
the body of a man." and then follows a.
more or less ghastly series of details.
Sometimes the announcement is that the
man was killed by tht street cars. In one
Instance the notice read: "He had on a
sword at the time ho was killed." suggest
ing the Idea of a man being killed in bat
tle. Among these men who met death by
accident were many wno were in cue inum
of life and strength, and often It seemed
as It there was nothing to show who they
were except initials on their undercloth
ing or some little trinket they carried In
their pockets.
Men wander away from hospitals, from
nsjlums. from homes for the aged and In
firm, and from various other places. They
nre found In other cities, in the country, on
the streets, and sometimes they nre found
by their friends In the morgue. In the
river or by the lake shore. Worst of all
they sometimes fade away forever, and
the uncertainty of their fate is then an
everlasting anxiety.
Women Who Wander.
Women seldom disappear, as compared
to men. When they do go away it is gen
erally becauso they are demented, and
they know not what they do. Sometimes
they dlsippear under circumstances which
are amusing after the matter Is explained.
One young woman started downtown one
afternoon and Informed her people that
she would bo back by C o'clock at the
very furthest. At noon the next day her
relatives were terribly alarmed, descrip
tions of her were given to the police and
n vigorous search Instituted for her. At
C o'clock that evening she walked blithely
Into the presence of her family and an
nounced that she was hungry as a wolf
and wanted to know If dinner was not
almost ready. She was perfectly amazed
at the reception accorded her, and ex
plained that she had met an old school
friend whom she had not seen for )ears
the afternoon she went downtown and
had accepted an Invitation to take dinner
with her and stay all night.
She had sent word by telephone that she
would not be back until the following even
ing at 6 o'clock, and had then settled her
self down for a good visit. Inquiry at the
drug storo developed the fact that the boy
who got the message had started out to
deliver It. but had become tangled up in
a racial controversy with a small Italian
boy. and while seated astride him gruellli g
argument into him had been nabbed by a
vigilant "copper." The excitement of this
experience had driven the message com
pletely out of his head, and by the time his
friends had balled him out ho "had lost
track" of everything else that had hap
pened for a week back.
Of the bojs who disappear there aro two
distinct types. First, the boy or bojs who
run away from home to light Indians or
seek their fortunes, and. second, there are
the small boys the fearful and wonderful
combinations of "little Lord Fauntlerojs"
or miniature Jack tars who wander avvav
from adoring mothers. I'or wild-eed and
breathless energy nothing can compare
with a mother who has lost one of these,
except a, "tagger" robbed of Its whelps.
She storms at the stations like a. troop of
iavalry, and seldom If ever falls to find
her bo). Bojs generally run away In pilrs.
and very frequently two brothers will start
out to seek their fortunes together. Of the
hundreds who lenvo home In this way al
most all come trailing back again, and they
are usuallv very glad to get back. Some
of them, of course are not heard from for
many years, and when they do come home
the) furnish material for a nine davs' won
der and a column of comment In the town
paper A peculhritj- of the missing bojs
who are reiortcd is that they nre almost
nil of tender -age, ranging from S to 9 J ears
as a rule. The generally manage to reach
other cities and aro there overhauled and
sent back home.
Enamored of the FootllRhi.
The most serious part of the search for
missing people relates to the girls who
wander away or who are enticed from
home A good many of them follow theat
ilcal companies anil circuses, and the ma
jority are from II to IS jears of age. Sis
ter? often run away together, and girl
chums will frequently leave their homes In
nuples, and, In spile of the most untiring
t (Torts to find them are sometimes never
seen or heard of again. On the books of
the Centml station, the descriptions of
missing girls are often duplicated and es
pecial atttntlon called to the case by tho
inspector, and jet many still remain In the
list.
if a girl wishes to disguise her appearance
It is compirativelj easv as it can be done
bj djing her hair or changing the style of
her complexion from dark to light or light
to dark, by wearing a wig and bv other
means. The illsappeHranee of a girl Is one
of the cases vvhU.li the department shakes
Its ottlclal head over, for the chances arc
very much against her whtn she Is out

There Is one book which the otliclals keep

again, and none but tho officers at the cen

they hnve been out on a little celebration
and return home again In a day or two,
and at other times thev will be gone a
week or more At anj rate their friends
call on the authorities, and. while anxious
that a diligent search be made, thej- are
alto anxious that no publicity bo given to

Prophets Ilrlghnm Young and Smith
TVntlven of That State.
From the Boston Globe.
The proposition of the people of Utah to
place a statue of Brigham Young in the
statuarj" hall at Washington as a repre
sentative citizen of that state brings to
mind the fact that tho president of the
Mormon republic Is numbered among the
famous sons of Vermont.
Brigham Young was born In Whltting
ham, among the highest hills of Windham
countj-, Juno 1, 1S01. Tho village of his na
tivity Is now an apt Illustration of Gold
smith's "Deserted Village." The old church
has gene Into decaj and Is rapidly falling
In ruins. Its dwellings are those of the
long past, manv without paint for halt a
century, presenting a sorrowful picture of
what was once a prosperous communltj.
The farms of the. townships are desolate;
In fact, many of them are abandoned. Some
religious zealots attribute the town's des
olation to the fact that it was the birth
place of the Infamous Mormon prophet.
Brigham Young's father was a farmer,
whose lands are now among the abandoned
farms. Brigham Young himself learned the
trade of a painter and glazier, and early
left home. He orlglnallj united with the
Baptist church, but Joined the Mormons In
1832. The same jear he was ordained "eld
er," In 1835 was made an "apostle." and In
1841 succeeded Joseph Smith as president,
a position he held until his death in Salt
Lake Cltj August 29. 1S77.
About 1K2T) there arose at MIddletown, Vt.,
a bodj of religious enthusiasts who were led
bj one Jacob Wood, who claimed to be
guided in their movements by a "divining
rod." and the people were much excited
over their ceremonies, and many efforts
were made to find gold, silver and other
metals, accompanied with the performance
of certain religious rites.
Residing in the town at that time were
Rev. Solomon B. Spauldlng, Joseph Smith,
Brigham Young, and In the adjoining town
of Poultney, Oliver Cowdery.
Joseph Smith was a native of Sharon.
Vt.. born In 1S03. Spauldlng was a native
ot tne town. An aged man now .-ivlng,

period, and distinctly remembers all these
persons and narrates manv of their pe
culiarities, gives personal descriptions of
several of them.
Smith, It Is asserted, was "poor. Ignor
ant and dissolute:" Young was the bright
est and bralncst of the company. The
people of the communltj called the divin
ing rod affairs, in after years, "the Rod
Scrape," and others knew it as "the Wood
Scrape."
Smith. Cowderj and Young finally drifted
away to Western New York, and the Wood
family emigrated to Ohio and settled near
Cleveland. A descendant of this family be
came an eminent lawjer, who was for sev
enteen years chief Justice of the supremo
court or Ohio and four j'ears governor of
the state.
Spauldlng, Young. Smith and Cowdery
apparent! j- were verj'much Interested in
the "Wood Rod Affair," tut did not take
part or become converts to the religious
sect that were so firm believers In the pow
er of the "divining rod," but afterward
made it available. In the establishment and
promulgation of the Mormon doctrines.
The book of the Momons. It Is assjrted,
was written by Rev. S. B. Spauldlng. who
had some learning. It Is said he wroto the
"Book of Mormon" as a historical ro
mance and turned the manuscript In tho
town of Manchester, N. Y.. and the divin
ing rod was brought Into use In discover
ing Its place of concealment.
The hlstorj- of the "Latter Day Saints" Is
too famllHr to need repetition. Smith camo
near wrecking the church. At this Junc
ture Brigham Young, who was an indi
vlduil of Indomitable will.by his eloquence,
executive ability, shrewdness and zeal. soon
made his influence felt, discarding miny
of the doctrines taught In the alleged Mor
mon Bible.
He resurrected the church, perfecting a
further and new organization with the as
sistance of Oliver Cowdery and Orson
Hjde, both of whom were also former res
idents of Rutland county.
