Its membership is made up en-
tirely of soldiers and sailors, who,
like yourself, in a national emer-
gency volunteered in the service of
their country.
If you desire employment every
comrade is back of you, ready to give
you all possible help, and as many
of them stand high in their commun-
tiles and have a national reputation,
their influence is oftentimes invalu-
able.
If you desire to enter the civil SER

your competitors, in many States.

CHICAGO LADY WANTS HER
CHILD.
Bright Little Lad in Home of Mr..
and Mrs. M. f. Heft of This Bor-
ough, Was Given Into Their Care
and Possession, They State
BY Father of Boy.

BY Father of Boy.
The motive of the arrival here of
well-dressed, attractive young
Chicago woman on Wednesday, ac-
companied by young detective of
that city, became apparent when
County Detective John M. Decker in
vestigated the case. The County
Detective was called to a local phar-
macy Wednesday evening where the
woman and her police consort were
met by the Chicago lady's sister-in-
law, Mrs. M. e. Heft, of this bor-
ough, accompanied by a boy, about
three and half years of age.
The tot, named Frederick Powell,
Immediately recognized the strange
lady, who proved to be his mother.
The boy is pretty child and has
become the favorite of many since
he came here with Mrs. Heft, the
latter having visited her brother in
Chicago not long since. Mrs. Heft
states that the child was given into
her possession and care by her broth
er, who is dentist in the Windy
City.
The mother Of the child was told
by the county detective that she
could not possibly obtain possession
of it unless she would apply to the
local court. 1t is said the law of
Pennsylvania is to the effect that
proceedings in habeas corpus can
only be instituted in the jurisdiction
of the court where the child is found.
The boy, it must be stated in JUS
tice to Mr.. and Mrs. Heft, has been
provided proper care and affection
by his kin here and has been feeling
quite at home since in Stroudsburgs
1t has been learned that divorce
proceedings have been begun, in
Chicago, on the part of DR.. Powell
against his wife.
There is report to the effect that
the Powells separated because of the
alleged neglect of the child at the
hands of the mother, who it is al
legged paid too much attention to the
demands of society leaving her son
in the care Of nurses. Mrs. Powell
strongly denies this, however, ad
admitting the separation, also the
commencement of divorce proceed
ings. The child is at present in pos
session of the Hefts awaiting legal
disposition of the case.
Later-On account of the Judge
being absent the habeas corpus hear
ing at Court has been held over un-
til his return, which will probably
be Saturday. Attorney for Mr.. Heft
is F. B. Holmes, Esq, while R. l..
Burnett has been retained by Mrs.
Powell. ell.-Stroudsburg Daily Times,

approved by the commission. Its princi-
pal features are bronze statue of Barry
