Vanishing men and sudden returns in strange mental episodes
In articles recounting disappearances, a man wanders away from home and later reappears with no memory of the intervening years. A Chicago family later moves after the mystery. Another case follows a former congressman who vanishes from his desk, later found in Australia and returned home to resume his career. The stories explore baffling identity lapses and unexplained relocations.

A Sportsman, the False Sporting Man Revealed
A reflective piece critiques a certain kind of man once called sporting. It contrasts real athletic interest with vainglorious behavior. The author argues many so labeled sportsmen lack genuine sportsmanship and rely on appearance, circles, and loud talk rather than true participation.
