Tho Clever Weaver Bird.

An interesting bird is the "weav-
er." 1t seems to. be fond of max
ing enormous nests merely for the
purpose of exercise in tie art OF
construction. Supply these birds
with strings and straw, and they
will use them up rapidly, and their
fabric is woven with a perfectness
that is astonishing. In some coun-
tries it is the custom of the weaver
birds to colonize and build one big
fiat topped platform, two or three
yards across, which is so admirably
put together as to shed the rain as
we'll as any roof could do. Under
this roof they make individual peck
ct shaped nests, bringing up under
this unique structure large and
interesting family of little weavers.
There is another bird, called the
tailor" which, instead of weaving
its nest, incloses it in big leaves and
stitches the latter together with
plant fibers, just as one would sew .
piece of cloth.

This Is the Case with Manu- Jasper People


Too many Jasper citizens are
handicapped with bad backs:
The unceasing pain causes con-
slant misery, making work a
burden and STOPPING or lifting an
|impossibility. The b5sck aches
at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff
and lame. Plasters and lini-
ments may give relief but cam
not reach the cause if the kid
neys are weak. To eliminate
tine pains and aches of kidney
backache you must cure the kid
neys.
Doan.s Kidney Pills are for
|disordered kidneys.
The following statement should
convince every Jasper reader of
their efficiency.
William T. Meurer. Chestnut
ST.. Huntingburg, Ind, says:
about a year ago my life was
made miserable by kidney COM
plant. There was a dull heavy
pain across the small of my back
which interfered with my work
and when | got up in the morn
ing. was sore and lame. IRE
gular passages of the kidney Sc
cretions showed that l needed a
kidney medicine. / felt tired all
the time and was nervous. Hav-
ing sample of Doan's Kidney
Pills on hand, Ibegan using them
and they benefited me so much
that / got another box. / was
relieved and since then | have
enjoyed the best of health. !"

A BUDDING GENIUS.
Ambitions and Hard Work of tho Boy
Saint Gaudens.

Immediately on being appren-
ticed to Avet l applied for admis-
sion to the drawing school of the
Cooper institute, and every even
ing after my return from work at
6 o'clock and hasty tea l went
down there, where my artistic edu-
cation began.
/ can recall there the kindly i'm
preston produced on me by Abram
B. Hewitt as he glanced at me dur
ing some function. Father at that
time was making shoes for the
Cooper family, and suppose that
that is why he looked at me- The
feeling of profound gratitude for
the help which / have had from
that institution abides with me to
this day.
1t was during the next two OF
three years that my first aspirations
and ambitions made themselves
felt. i became a terrific worker,
toiling every night until II o'clock
after the Cooper institute was over
in the conviction that in me anoth
er heaven born genius had been
given to the world.
/ can recall thinking in public
conveyances that if the men stand
ing on the platform around me
could realize how great a genius
was rubbing elbows with them in
the quiet looking boy by their side
