By W. j)m ""nw: S so many others did, I ^ knew "(tld Howls" in a A casual way, as a note broker of the - meanest class. lie was always tin-1 tidy. always in a hurry. J never anything else but thiuly clad, even in the depth of winter, and carried constantly?with a loud laugh and painfully forced jollity that had won him his epithet, "Howls"?a haggard, hunted expression. Jacob Ilowells's reputation, even when I first knew him on the Street, was quite "off color," ami the color had worn off more and more as years wont on. lie and I never had any business transactions for two reasons, both valid?I had no spare cash to loan, and when I borrowed?which was seldom? it was not on collateral of the sort requiring the big '"shave,*' out of which this man and his kind made their sparse and precarious profits. It was growing dark on a raw day last February that, crossing Nassau street 011 my. way toward the elevated. I saw Kowells in charge of an officer. Having heard that ho had been con-1 cerned of late in several pieces of "sharp practice," the fact that lie was now in custody did not seem surprising. I was going by with 110 more attention than may he implied by a brief thought of commiseration ("Poor chap, I hope he'll pret out of the scrape"), when I heard him say pleadingly: "For God's sake, wait just five minutes more." His tone was so imploring, so pitiful, and it seemed so sincere as to some hope in a little delay, that I overcame the dastardly cowardice of prudence, turned right about, and went up to him. "is mere anyuung x cau uu iur ,\uu, Mr. IIowells?" I asked, not, I fear, cordially, but coldly, my manner instinctively modulated as to imply that presumption on his part would scarcely be tolerated. "Yes," he answered eagerly, "there is, if you are willing to take a littlejust a little?trouble. As you see, I have got into a little scrape (he laughed grimly), and I have sent a boy for my lawyer. I'm afraid it's so late he's gone home. Now, would you mind going to my flat (he named the street and number),, and tell my wife that I have been called away suddenly, but will be back to-morrow?and (he-handed me a five-dollar bill) give her that." Of course I agreed to do what he wished, though his flat was far over on the upper east side, while my home was on the west. Howells clutched my hand hard, "Thank you; my God, but I do thank you," and we parted. I turned back down Wall Strcet, and took the east side elevated at Hanover Square. While I waited for the train it began to snow, and by the time we reached Fourteenth street a heavy snowstorm had set in. At Fourteenth * -x,.. 1 n + street there "was a long siup, mm m the end of perhaps fifteen minutes the guard opened the door. "All out," he shouted, "this ear goes no further!" I soon discovered that there -was a fire on the block above. The surface line was blocked also, so I made my way across to the Second Avenue line. There were delays here also, so that it was quite late before I reached the street where Howells lived. In the meantime the storm had gathered strength; the wind blew fiercely, and the mingled snow and sleet beat full into my face as I made my way toward the tall tenement to which I had been directed. I found the number at last; one of these immense, semi-genteel apartment houses, a horror to look upon, much more to be all one could call "home." Pushing the button of the very topmost flat, the door opened instantljr, and, covered with snow, I toiled up the stairs. On the upper landing stood a woman, who exclaimed before she recognized me: "Oh,. Jake, dear Jake, I am so relieved " Suddenly she stopped, seeing a stranger, and, clasping her hands, her face, as I could see even in the obscurity, turned ghastly white. "Is this Mrs. Howells?" I asked. "Yes," slie gasped, evidently over-1 come with apprehension, "yes; please' tell me, have you word from my husband? Has?has?anything happened ?" As quickly as possible I relieved her anxiety by delivering my message and the bill. I would have gone then at once; but Mrs. Howells urged me to come in. "It was so kind of you to come, and such a dreadful night. Mr. Howells is not strong. Girls (she continued joyously, your father is all right; he was obliged to go out of town." I had not said this, but let it pass. The little room w-as a charming picture of modest refinement and homelikeness. Two young women, who had been sitting by a lamp, one engaged in needlework, the other, having laid down a book, rose and greeted me. Ladies, all of them, that was evident, as well a: was the de?p affection?almost adoration?for the man whom, till that hour, I had known as one who could not have been classed as respectable, much less as a gentleman. It was now, however, quite apparent? that desperate gap between the man of the outside world and of the home, and the hideous struggle he was eueraired In with the wolf of poverty and to keep the little family together. The next day Ho wells eaine to my | office. He looked even more disrepuj table than ever after a night in jail, t but his voice Trembled as he thanked | me. Then his tone and manner j changed. "Well," said he, with a harsh, hol| low laugh, "I got off this time; 'tten't ! the first, and 'twon't be the last. You i know your Aesop?the pitcher that goes often to the well is bound to get broken some day." After this I used to do a little more than nod to Mr. Howells; in fact, sevj oral times I even threw a little busi; ncss in his way. Once he came to me * on a matter where I was really of ' very considerable assistance.

It was pitiful to hear him toll of the miserable shifts and devices by which he gathered together the few dollars needful?pitiful to me, knowing what the man's home life was., "Do you think I don't know well enough what people say of ir.e? Yes, they call me a blood-sucker, and?no, don't shake your head?that's not tiie worst; some will tell you I'm an outand-out scoundrel who ought to be in State prison. But, Mr. he laid his hand impulsively upon my arm, "I give you my word before my God that never in my life have I done a dishonest act. Yes, I've been arrested ?more times than that once you know ofu.' but it was always as a scapegoat for some other man's rascality. 'Ilit him; he's got on friends!' that's the cry around Wall and Broad streets. What a dreadful business mine is! I know it; but I can't get out of it; I can't try some other more decent God knows I would if I saw my way, but I don't. When a man's past sixty no one wants him. Besides, I know this business of shaving third and fourth class paper clear down to the ffrAinwl* T tnnw flint nml linthtnf ^IVUUU, x Now, this piece of business; liow much do you suppose I'll net out of it?" "Two hundred," I suggested, knowing what his commissions ought to have been. "Divide that by twenty," said IIowolls coolly. "What! a jackal like me get his full commissions; Not much; I'm allowed for expense carfare, this lunch and odds and ends; but before I got the job I had to agree to take an even ten. Oh! I'm not worrying; it's the best day's work I've done in six months." From time to time during the following summer I saw Howells. always in haste, always anxious, hut his greeting was always a genial smile and a hearty "Good day."* He never presumed upon my good offices. It was lato one afternoon the following November that a messenger brought me a brief note from him. He was laid up, he wrote, with a bad cold, and there was a little matter of business 1,/% rroTitfifl lnnl-n/1 nffoi' Tho nflnprs Hv ? UtUVU 1VV/UVU UllVi* A A1V w inclosed were all in good shape. It was after business hours; but in his calling they stay down town late. I did what he asked willingly, collected the amount, and sent it by the messenger. A week passed, and the same thing happened again. This time he wrote at considerable length. Lie was ^ery ill; too ill to be out such a harsh day. He had no one he could trust (the word "trust" underscored). Would I mind obliging him just once more? It was a beseeching?almost cringing?letter. He might have known me better. I did the errand, collected $0, added $10, and inclosed a line saying that I was glad to be of service, .and that the ten was "at his entire convenience." The next day a postal "came, undated, and the handwriting tremulous, hardly legible. It said simply: "O. K. Many thanks. You'll get it later." About a week after that, while I wrs sitting at my desk in the office, the door opened hastily and Howells sraggcrcd in. My first thought was that he had been drinking, for his manner was wild, his eyes sunken anu uioousnor, ami jus usuai ij:iicjicu and haggard expression intensified tenfold. "Excuse me for one moment, Mr. ," lie said, panting like a "winded dog, "I'll get my breath shortly." "When he had recovered himself he began at once, talking very fast?there was a policy on his life, taken out more than ten years before. Originally for five thousand, it would now be worth to his heirs upward of nine thousand. "The premium is due to-day; this is the very last day or the policy will lapse. It mustn't lapse; that's the long and short of it. My family would get over nine thousand if I should die tomorrow if that premium is paid. If I should die to-morrow," he repeated, choking. "I've got fifteen of it. Can't you help me out with the balance? For God's sake try and help me out?" I did not keep him in doubt, but opened my pocketbook and counted out the twenty that he said was needed. Howells eyed the money as a famished man might food. As he clutched the bills, the man's joy seemed quite unspeakable. He did, however, manage to stammer out in the intervals of a fit of painful coughing what he called his "deep gratitude." "You'll get this back, good friend," he said huskily at the door. "Never fear. If I pull through?all right; if not?well," and he laughed hoarsely, "all right, any way. The fact is, 1 slipp'ed out.

If he had been the c*si respectable citizen it could hnrflVr been more so. In due time the was paid. Mrs. Howells soirt for me, and gave me the thirty dollars.

HUPCLE JUMPING. Kracnzlein Is tlio World's Iligli Tlurdla Champion and Kroord-TIcldpr. Formerly, in the days of Putter and Stephen Chase, the hurdle race was even a prettier event than it is to-day, as they skimmed the hurdle, and though they sailed over it very prettily, there was a distinct glide through the air, and the motion was stooped after each hurdle. The ccioiie? or huraimg now demands Hint Iho nth'ete get over the hurdle with the greatest possible speed, to Hip himself over without any glide in the air. and to so throw the feet and body that the very effort to clear the hurdle hurls the ruuuer on to tlie next hurdle. This style, while not so pretty, is faster, and Krnenzleln.must be given the credit for developing It to Its highest form. Kraeuzlein in topping the sticks would use his hip as a swivel, and throw tne first leg over the hurdle, not trying to get distance on the farther side 'f the hurdle. His idea was to get that leg over as quickly as possible. The other leg followed after, but it was not dragged. It was brought up smartly, so that when his first leg hit the ground on the other side of the hurdle his other leg was in the position iC should he for the next stride. This is the leg motion, but the young hurdler will find that to get the above result he must use his body as a lever and his arms as a means of balancing and propulsion. When throwing the first leg over, the body Is doubled up like a jack knife, as this not only helps to get the leg over the hurdle, hut it aids 1h speed with which the hurdler gets over. The right arm is thrown forward if the right leg is first over; the left arin is then brought up with a rush while the other leg is being swung across the hurdle, so that when the athlete hits the ground after clearing the hurdle he is in the natural position for running, and can put all his effort to getting speed between the hurdles. The athlete should remember when going at the hurdle he should keep his cliesl squarely facing it. The body is the lever, and if it is not held straight when going over the hurdle the athlete will not alight squarely on his feet, and he will lose form and speed between the hurdles. In this event the runner should plan to take but three strides between hurdles.?From G. W. Orton's "Training for Interscholastic Athletics'' in St. Nicholas. Farthest South. It appears that the point reached in the antartic circle by Captain Scott, of the exploring steamer Discovery, which left England in 1901, was 2 degrees farther south than was at first announced. In his final sledge journey he pushed forward to latitude 82 degrees 17 minutes, when he was about 4G0 .geographical miles from the South Pole? It was well known that explorers* have come considerably nearer to the North Pole, less than 4 degrees, or less than 240 geographical miles, remaining to be crossed in the Arctic circle. Captain Scott has unquestionably shown that Victoria Land stretches much farther south than had hitherto been demonstrated, but it remains uncertain whether the land extends to the South Pole. It is said that a rich collection of marine fauna, including many new species, has been made by the scientists attached to the expedition, and we may take for granted that due attention has been paid to seismograpliic records, and to magnetic and pendulum observations. As the 'explorers were revictualled toward the end of January by the relieving steamer Morning, they will be enabled to live with an approach to comfort during the next six months, which -are, of course, the winter months in the southern hemisphere, after which they can resume their southward journey, and may possibly succeed in reaching the Antartic Pole.?Harper's Weekly. In the Eyes of Their Servants. * A great many people live to please their servants. They save and pinch in order that they may spread them selves before butler, maid ana cook. And, poor fools, they do not perceive that butler, maid and cook thoroughly understand the situation. But, seriously, trained servants are marvelous critics. There is a family in our swellest avenue who will admit that they also are qualified teachers. Good manners are acquired by children in imitation of well-bred parents; they are acquired by scrub adults through social attrition. Mr. and Mrs. P., who came here from the West three years ago with barrels of mined money, very wisely leaned upon their servants for that education iJ good behavior or etiquette which had been denied them in the long period of their poverty. The butler they engaged was formerly in the home of an epicure of great wealth. They paid him ?7000 a year and a commission 011 the menu. One maid was tempted from a leader of the Four Hundred, another was imported from Paris, where she had attended the Countess Q. Fabulous wages were paid. The footman came from a fashionable club, receiving three times his former wages. From these people tbe Westerners learned "manners." And they are to-day better behaved than many animals in the social menagerie who were born in the purple.Xew York Press. Hysteria In Dogs. Nerves are the disease of the present day among human beings, but I did not know till recently that hysteria is also a malady of dogs. A friend of mine owned a dog which suddenly one day was seized with an'attack of nerves. Since then it has been very ill, wandering incessantly round and round the room, refusing food, but still recognizing its owner. Another little dog suffered from hysteria in oonsoqaence of fright from railway traveling aSd Urfeally seems as though civilization, fti rendering dogs more delicate and more susceptible, had done them a distinct physical injury. ?

F. Ensor. Hon. C. W. Butts, ex-member of Congress from North Dakota, in a letter from Washington, D. C., says: "That Peruna is not only a vigorous, as well as an effective tonic, but also a cure of catarrh is beyond controversy. It is already established by its use by the thousands who have been benefited by it. I cannot too highly express my appreciation of its excellence.''?C. W. Butts. Dr. It. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes: "Peruna is the best medicine I know of for coughs and to strengthen a weak stomach and to give appetite. Beside prescribing it for catarrh I have ordered it for weak and debilitated people, and have not j | had a patient but said it helped him.

I One of the obscure causes of weakness and ! the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh. Catarrh inflames the mucous membrane and causes the blood plasma to escape through the mucous membrane in the form of mucus. This discbarge of mucus is the same as the loss of blood. It produces weakness. The Migration of Birds. The birds which travel by night Include by far the greatest number of migrants. Among them will be found the thrushes, with the exception of tho robin and the bluebird, which migrate by day; the nuthatches and titmice, creepers, thrashers and wrens, warblers, tanagers, vlreos, most of the 1 sparrows and finches, orioles, meadow larks, fly catchers, with the exception of the king bird, the cuckoos and the woodpeckers. You will observe that most of these birds have neither very strong nor very rapid flight, and consequently require the shelter of darkness to protect them from their enemies. Moreover, most of them take their food in small quantities, and require some "time to make a full meal. If they attempted to divide up the day between eating and migrating they would travel but slowly. So they journey by night, and spend the day in feeding and resting. The day migrants, on the other hand, are for the most part birds strong enough to resist attack or swift enough to avoid it. They include the horned larks, tit-larks, robins, bluebirds, cedarbirds, swallows, crows, nighthawks and chimneyswifts, humming birds, hawks and doves. Some of these?the nighthawks and chimney-swifts, for ex ample?do not require to stop for food, but feed on the wing as they travel; the rest, although they may have to stop for refreshments now and then, are so swift of wing that they can easily make up for lost time.

Besides the bad back which usually results from j kidney complaints, I had a great deal j of trouble with the secretions, which ; | were exceedingly variable, sometimes ' j excessive and at other times scanty, j The color was high, and passages were ; accompanied with a scalding sensation. Doan's Kidney Pills soon regui lated the kidney secretions, making j their color normal and banished the inI flammation which caused the scalding j sensation. I can rest well, my back j is strong and sound and I feel much ; better in every way."
