WILD BEASTS ROAM
 WATERFORD WOODS,
Animals Are Seen By Several In Wig
 Wam Swamp.

Col Theodore Roosevelt need make no more hunting trips to Africa in quest of wild game, if he will but go to New London, according to Charles Mosh1er and a quintet of his friends. They are authority for the beasts with fiery eyes, gnashing teeth, and an extremely threatening growi or bark are at present hibernattng in Wlgwarm swamp, which Is located be- yond Station l6. Waterford, between Spithead school and the Mantle river oua Moshier t first came in contact with one Of the beasts Sunday evening about eight o'clock. when he was pass Ing through the woods. At that time he carried 0 whip saw, and to that saw he credits the fact that he is alive te- day. The animal approached him growing and barking. Moshter adj mits that he was frightened, so much 30 that he beat the saw against the bushes and this fact undoubtedly caused the beast to beat g rstreat, Prior to Sunday evening Moshier had heard the story of two boys who cnIne frightened up at tree but he placed it tie Vredence in the fact that they had seen wild beasts.
 Monday evening Noshier and George Damon made the trip into the woods with shot guns and again saw the ann tLA404I JAL wv SL4GbS Ge44G0 GE down the prey.
 Wednesday evening still another ex. cursion was organized. The party of huntsmen included Mosfier, George Damon, Frank Damon Elmer Holmes, Herbert Hancock and Joseph Harri- gan, And they were surprised to hear the growis of the animal in two differ ent directions, which leads to the opinion that there are at least two. They failed however, to catch a glimpse of either of them,
 Moshter, who has seen the animal, expresses the belief that 1t is 8 pam ther. It's tail is said to be too large for wild cat. On the other hand, Joseph Harrigan, who has had some experience with the dog and gun, holds gut the opinion that 1t :s wolf. The weeds and swamp are about a mile square, and there are no houses in the immediate vicinity.
 Nightly hunting parties are now in order aad will probably continue nar til the prey Is Brought ta earth,

CHEERFUL WORDS
For Many a Norwich Household.

To have the pains and aches of a. bad back removed-to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary dis orders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Norwich read CTS.
 Mrs. c. E. Fowler, 581 East Main Street. Norwich, says: T am very seldom without Doan's Kidney. Pills in the house, which I buy at The Lee & Osgood Go. have attacks of back ache, which come on from a cold. Sometimes overwork brings on dull pains across my kidneys. I don't use Doan's Kidney. Pills continually but only when my back aches and feels weak and then have never failed to get relief. have always heard Doan's Kidney Pills well spoken of and I rec ommend them highly in view of my own experience with them"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't sim. ply ask for a kidney remedy - get Doan's' Kidney Pills - the same that Mrs. Fowler had. Foster -Milburn Co.,. Propss Buffalo, N. r.
