A BARRIER TO HAPPINESS By LUC1LE BARKER .There lived in the city of Philadel phia a widower and his son who were always seen together. The father was a little over forty, the son about twenty-one. The two always dressed alike, talked alike, acted alike and had the same opinions on subjects. Those who knew them intimately spoke of them as Dombey & Son, though their name was Hardwick. All went well between the two till the question of the son's marriage came up. Jimmle Hardwick fell in love- with a girl who had no means whatever and if he married her had not sufficient fortune to keep up his position in the ultra fashionable gold en circle to which he possessed a birth right. In vain his father held up to him the fact that if he made the in tended match the relations that had existed between them must cease, the older man continuing in the same so cial scale, the son dropping out. Emily Sherbourne was a very sensi ble, practical young woman. She had no ambition to hobnob with multimil lionaires, but she loved Jimmie and was loath to give him up. Indeed, she did not propose to give him up. The case dragged, poor Jimmie loath to give up the position in which- he had been born, especially since it would put a wedge between him and his fa ther. But one day Jim saw signs that his father was himself contemplating matrimony. None of the widows or young spinsters of society seemed to have attracted Mr. Hardwick's atten tion, for Jim kept watch of him when ever they were "out," and the older man's attentions seemed to be general. Confident that his father would not think of marrying out of his set, Jim made up his mind that he had been mistaken and .there was nothing in it. Then he concluded to make one more attempt to win his father to his owii intended marriage. He begged Mr. Hardwick to call on his betrothed, hopeful that a view of her would so attract him that he would fall in with the scheme. But the father said that he had never made visits other than within his own circle of acquaintances and declined to make an exception in this case. In an interview with Miss Sher bourne Jim told her of his effort and ,of the suspicion he had had 6f his fa ther's attraction for some woman. Em ily asked her lover if he had entirely given up this suspicion, and when he said that he was still uncertain about the matter she advised Jimmie to watch. Jim admitted that his father, who was too aristocratic to use street cars, now and again telephoned to a stable where he got his livery, order a carriage and drive away, whither the son did not know. "Why don't you go, too?" asked Em ily. "How can I do that?" "I will give you a plan. The next time your father orders a carriage go to the stable and bribe the coachman to let you take his place." "But father would recognize me." "Does he always have the same coachman?" "No." "Very well, if you wear a coach man's livery and make up for a colored man your father will never dream that you are his son." "I have a mind to try it." "Do so. It may be that your father is courting some one not of his set. If he is and you discover the fact he will no longer oppose your doing the same thing." Jim made all his preparations, and when he next heard his father order a carriage he slipped out through a back door and went to the stable, where a burnt cork transformed him into an ebony instead of a white man. Then donning a livery he mounted the box of a coach and drove to his home. His father came out, opened the door, gave the address and got in. When Jimmie heard that address the expression on his face was not only one of wonder, but of astonishment His father had ordered him to drive to the house where dwelt Miss Emily Sherbourne. His first impulse was to get down from the box and ask his parent what the dickens he meant; his second was to drive on and see the matter to the end. He followed the latter. On reaching his destination Mr. Hardwick got out and, ordering the coachey to wait, rang the bell and wen. Into the house. Here was a pretty pass the son sit ting on the box while his father was inside courting the girl he would not consent to his offspring marrying. It seemed to Jim that the call was inter minable. What could be going on? He worked, himself into a fury, then got down from the box, stalked up the steps and rang the bell. Mr. Hardwick was sitting on the same sofa with Emily Sherbourne when the tete-a-tete was interrupted by a negro coachman with a whip in his hand standing in the doorway. "What does this mean, pop?" cried coachey. Mr. Hardwick was paralyzed with astonishment and Miss Sherbourne burst into a laugh. How through a friend in the gilded circle she had made the acquaintance of the father of her lover and drawn him on to visit her was her own se cret Her ruse was successful. Mr. Hardwick turned his supposed con quest over to Jimmie, consented to the wedding and the three gave up society to be happy In their own borne. Evident. Smith and Jones were speaking about the fine points of their respec tive sons. "That boy of mine," remarked Smith extravagantly, "is the genuine article. He's all wool, you can bet" "Shouldn't wonder," commented Jones. "I notice that he shrinks from washing." Housekeeper. Japanese Orange.

Although the basketball season is only a few weeks old, already mana gers have had trouble because of their failure to acquaint themselves with the Amateur Athletic union rules. This is especially true of managers of col lege teams and those of teams which have scheduled games with colleges. Some people are under the impres sion that the Amateur Athletic union wishes to control athletics in colleges, but this is not the case. What the Amateur Athletic union does desire to control is athletics within its own body, and the main object of this control is to see that these athletics shall be fair and fairly conducted. It desires to keep the professional from competing with the amateur, to eliminate those who compete under assumed names and to keep out of competition all those who have been suspended for violating the rules of clean sport. In doing this it has two major methods, one for the identification of the individual (this is registration) and the other for the iden tification of the games (this is sanc tion). In basketball the Amateur Athletic union says that any person competing without registration and without sanc tion will not be eligible to compete in any sport governed by that body. This is not an attempt to control the ath letics of any other bodies, but is mere ly an attempt to keep the sport within itself as clean as. possible by saying to athletes that if they wish to compete in games under the Amateur Athletic union sanction they must live up to the regularly established rules of clean sport. If a college, a preparatory school, a church or a lodge desires to have con tests in which cash prizes are offered and in which professionals are allowed to compete with amateurs the Ama teur Athletic union has not a word to say, but the individuals competing in these games cannot thereafter compete in games held under its sanction. Disregard Rules. Failure to understand these things brings these other bodies, particularly educational institutions, frequently into unfortunate relations with the Amateur Athletic union. Each year at the beginning of the basketball sea son the Amateur Athletic union, through its different associations, comes into unnecessary conflict with these bodies in regard to their playing basketball with teams from noneduca tional institutions, and year after year much ill feeling is caused when the Amateur Athletic union announces that the players on such and such a team have automatically disqualified them selves. With the announcement of this col lege team or that school team that has been disqualified much hard feeling usually crops out, and as a result the players who desire to compete in track and field sports are forced to apply to the union for reinstatement. Now, why have this trouble year after year? Is it not much better for the managers of these teams to investigate the rules before they start. When a team repre senting an educational institution plays a noneducational institution team it causes trouble unless the situation is. clearly defined, and for the benefit of teams from educational Institutions the following explanation is made: Registration Necessary. The Amateur Athletic union allows teams from educational institutions to play with one another without sanc tion or registration; it considers that these institutions have a perfect right to compete among themselves without conferring with the Amateur Athletic union, and it is hoped, for the good of the sport, that they will confine their activities toward playing one another On the other band, should they desire to play outside teams, then they must register, the team against which they play must register, and the game itself must be sanctioned by the Amateur Athletic union or an allied body. The law in relation to maintaining an unregistered team is very clear, and it is given below: "Any club, a member of any associa tion of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, which sanctions the competition of any member or team, under its club name or its club emblem, in unregistered sport or professional contests, or which persists in playing disqualified athletes, or which permits professionals to compete under its aus pices in any competition in a sport over which the Amateur Athletic associa tion assumes jurisdiction, where such Bompetition is announced as a compe tition between amateurs, shall be liable to forfeit Its membership in such as sociation."

TOMLINSON "If a policeman," said the retired de tective, "should walk into this room and, arrest me on a charge of murder do you suppose I would laugh at him. or do you suppose thajt I would simply consider that I would be put to a tem porary Inconvenience? Not by any means. I should consider the chances for or against my conviction to be about even." . "That's strange," I replied. "1 sup posed you detectives, being used to get ting at the bottom of things, are al ways sure of guilt or innocence." "Suppose we are sure ourselves, haven't we to convince a jury, and are there not detectives employed to se cure evidence on the other side?" "Wouldn't the knowledge that you were Innocent be a great advantage?" "I wouldn't even possess any such knowledge. How would I know but that I liad developed a criminal insan ity? Do you suppose the criminally Insane know that they have committed a murder? I have known a man to wake up in jail the morning after pub licly killing several persons at once and, having been chased by a mob, express himself surprised at finding himself in a strange place. His antecedents show ed Insanity in three generations. "The most remarkable mixup I ever met with in a murder ase happened when I was a young man living in Ohio. The town of B.. where it oc curred, had but five or six thousand inhabitants, and any comparatively unimportant happening was noticed, discussed and in time, if not cleared up. THEY MABOHED THE MUBDKKKD MAN CP TO TBI COtJBT. would set the whole town agog. Tom and Dick Emery, brothers, got into a squabble with Nathan Goodrich about some money Goodrich owed the Emo rys. Dick Emory had a heavy cane in his hand at the time and attacked Goodrich with it Bystanders inter fered. Tom, who started to assist his brother, was prevented from doing so, after which the fracas subsided, and the little crowd that had collected, in cluding the participants, dispersed. "That was the last seen of Nathan Goodrich In B. It was naturally in ferred, considering the trouble that had occurred between him and the Emorys, that 'they had followed him up later, the quarrel had been renewed, Good rich had been killed and rather than face a trial for murder the brothers had disposed of the body and kept tht affair a secret. But as there was no evidence to this effect they were not arrested indeed, not - even accused but they lived under suspicion, whick Is often more harrowing than an open accusation. - "Several years passed with no tiding? of- Goodrich. The Emory boys, what ever may have been their feelings at knowing the odium attached to them, remained in B., pursuing the even tenor of their way. They had theli friends, who defended them. There were those who shook their heads and said nothing, and there were those who averred that murder will out and the day would come when the making away with Goodrich would be laid al their door. "And so it happened. How do you mppose it was brought about? A su ferannuated aunt of the missing mat. dreamed that Goodrich appeared tc her. told her that the Emory boys had killed her nephew when he was alon in his own home and burled his bod In the cellar. The only' person who paid any attention to this superstition was the man who lived in the housfe that Goodrich had occupied. He du? In the cellar in a portion which was not cemented and found a suspendei buckle, an old jackknife and a button The articles he turned over to the po lice who at once began to make Inves tigation concerning them and proved to their own satisfaction that they had each and ail belonged 10 Nathan Good rich. "On this evidence, which had been re vealed by a dream, but which was in Itself laughable, the Emory brothers were arrested. They had been en during a strain in the matter for years, and now that the storm had broken Kvere both unmanned. Dick Emory, the younger, looked like a conscience stricken man who found himself face to face with punishment for crime. His brother seemed better able to stand up under the accusation. "Then an experiment was tried, some thing like this third degree business we have nowadays. A clergyman was sent to visit the brothers to talk wltb them about their spiritual welfare, but really to work upon them to confess. Upon the elder brother he produced no especial effect, but with the young er he succeeded far beyond his expec tation. Dick Emory confessed that he and his brother the morning after their quarrel with Goodrich went to his house with a view to obtaining payment of the debt he owed them and taking satisfaction in case they fail til. They found him alone and dress ing, having just got out of bed. Good rich did not pay the debt, and Dick Emory cut his throat Then the broth ers dragged the body down into the cellar and burned it. - "When Dick Emory was asked what had become of the body he replied that they had made frequent visits to the cellar whenever they could do so without being discovered, each time taking away a portion of the body and burning it in a wood near by till the remains had all been consumed. "Tom Emory -was much broken up by his brother's . confession, but he persisted in saying that Dick had not told the truth. However, there now being plenty of evidence to convict them, they were placed on trial, and it .didn't take the jury very long to find them guilty. Some time after the con victionI don't remember how long Tom Emory, under the influence of the clergyman who was preparing the brothers for death, confessed. . That satisfied the few who remained uncon vinced that Goodrich had been mur dered by the Emory boys. "Nevertheless some of the family con nectlons of the murderers, thouf h they did not attempt to explain away the evidence, stolidly persisted that they didn't believe Goodrich had been mur dered at all. One of them, hoping that he might still be alive, began to iusert personals for him in the newspapers. The newspapers didn't circulate in those days in the immense volume they do now, though even then there were a good many of them. .The first adver tisement was followed by others cf the convicted men's friends and relatives, and finally the ball got a-rolling and u lot of papers were publishing the per sonals. " "Finally a communication was sent to a St Louis paper from somewhere in the Interior of Missouri from a woman, stating that a man named Goodrich with 'something the matter with his upper story', had been in the. . town about six years before. She and sev eral other citizens remembered him quite-well and would know him if they were to see him again. Goodrich is not an uncommon name, so the adver tisers placed no great value on the clew. Nevertheless they raised funds for one of their number named Tilford to go to Missouri and make inquiries. When he reached the town where Goodrich was reported to have been and showed those there who remem bered him a photograph of the missing man some of them identified it at once, while others said there was no resem blance to the man who had been there. "Tilford spent several months en deavoring through the newspapers to find another place where the man had been and finally got wind of him in St. Joseph. A. person there told him that he had heard cf Goodrich in Kan sas City, which was then a place of some ten or twelve thousand people. Tilford found traces of him there, but "no one seemed to know where he had gone. But having reported his prog ress so far as he had proceeded, the citizens of B., who had disbelieved that the murder had been committed, while-others who, after Tilford got on Goodrich's track were converted, rais ed more funds. Tilford kept advertis ing and at last heard of the missing man in Cairo, III. He went there, and before he had had an opporunity to communicate with those who had given him the information which brought him he saw Goodrich on the street. He looked much older than when he had left B. and seemed to be In a shattered mental condition. - "Tilford telegraphed ahead that he would be in B. with Goodrich on a cer tain day and hour, and when the two arrived the whole town "was at the sta tion. They marched the murdered man up to the court, which happened to be In session, and called on the judge to issue a release, of- the Emory boys. There was no precedent for such a re lease, but the judge didn't dare refuse, so he gave an order to the sheriff to bring the brothers into court "The boys got out of jail, but they didn't get Into court. They were car ried on the shoulders of the citizens to the town hall, where they were stood on the platform with Goodrich beside them, and the mayor offered them a humble apology for their persecution, as he called it, and the town raised a purse of $2,000 as some compensation for what they had endured." "How were their confessions ex plained?" I asked the narrator. "By finding Goodrich. That's the only explanation for such confessions. Obtaining them as they are often ob tained now is simply a return to the medieval plan of torture, only the tor ture Is mental instead of physical." Camel's Hair Tents.

A. J. Joslyn, who, after many years of worthy service in the Christian minis try in Oregon, Washington and Alas ka, returned to this country and located near Canby. Mr. Joslyn came with his parents across the plains, and saw Oregon City for the first time from the top of the bluff at what is now Seventh street, in 1852, and beheld then a mere village. The older Joslyn and others with him seeking a new country, had heard a lecture on the Oregon country, and in glowing terms the man from Oregon pictured its future, declaring, among other things, that Terre Haute, then a town of no mean proportions, on the Wabash River, in Indiana, "could not make a kitchen for Oregon City," and though somewhat disap pointed when they saw the young city of Willamette Falls, they had faith in its future, and in the future develop ment of this country, and took up the task, with their fellow pioneers, of transforming a wilderness into a coun try of fields, orchards, homes, schools and churches. Dr. Joslyn, when a boy, came with his mother, "mule-back," to the ser vices of the First Methodi3t Episcopal church of this city, and as he grew up identified himself more closely with the activities of the church, en tered the ministry, and has given his life to this work. He feels a special interest in all that concerns the wel fare of the city and county. Mr. and Mrs. Joslyn -will he the guests of Dr. Ford and family during their stay "here.
