Farmer for Five Years.

Mrs. Margaret Geyikian of Summit,
n. j.. has begun habeas corpus pro-
ceodings in the Maine superior court

in Boston almost destitute. Through
the influence of DR.. Hitchcock. an of

the children We're sent to different
parts Of the country. Zahruie was
then 10 years Of age and she was
placed in the family of Mr.. Clifford for
the period of five years, which has re-
Gently expired.
The mother settled in Summit, N J.,
and, with the other children gathered
about her, has succeeded in establish
ing q home for the entire family She
has been patiently waiting until the
| five years would expire so that she
might claim her child and take her
home with her.
With this end in view she came here
and saw Mr.. Clifford but was unable to
| obtain possession of her child. The
next day after her visit to him Mr..
| Clifford petitioned to the judge of pro-
| bate, Hon. C. G.. Stevens, to be ap-
| pointed guardian of Zahruie, and in
| this petition also asked for the custody
| of the girls person. ThereuDon Mrs.
| Geykian employed counsel and began
