Boy Skipped Out From Home Of Benefactress Near Stontsburg.

About a year and a half, ago Mr. and Mfs. Fred Thomas, of near Btoutsburg, Wheatfield township, took a boy and a girl to raise, getting them through Charleo B. Steward, county truant officer and agent of the state board of charities. The giiT has been well satisfied with her home, but the boy formed the habit of staying out late at night and had some associates that are thought to have been bad for him and recently he skipped out and nothing can be learned of bis whereabouts. He is between 15 and 16 years of age. Mr. Steward reported his disappearance of the State Board of Charities and Snperintendent J. L. Peets replied, suggesting that when a boy of thatage got the roving spirit, nothing would do him much gdod but a little experience and that after he has had it he will probably he mighty glad to get a home some place. Mr. Steward was asked to make an effort to learn the present whereabouts of the boy and try to find another home for him if he is apprehended.
