 Rheuma tics should hail the nevs with great rejoicing, for it is surely a remarkable remedy and has a record of almost unbelievable cures Read what J. F. Oliver of Albany, Ga, says about it:

A number of facts concerning the thieving raid that occurred Tuesday night all through the south part of the town were reported Thursday
 Three men in-a Ford machine did the business. They were seen several times by different farmers along their route, and, seen last by Charles Tanner. the night man on duty, at 5:30 Wednesday morning when they passed Gilberts garage.
 It is pretty well proven that they came into Griswold from down North Stonington way, as they were first reported from the old Parks place. They showed up at Mrs. Foley's farm at a. m. MT. Foley is in New York, and his wife was alone with her children. Here they broke into the barn. There were two sheep in a stall; these they stole also two big breeding geese from another building into which they forced entrance by breaking down the door, The sheep and geese were thrown into the back part of the machine which was tight ly closed. Frank Button who lives on the Barton Keigwin farm, Frying Ec- clestone, MT. Osgey on the Bill Lit tlefeld place, Albert Green in Bethel all received visits from the marauders. The ever-ready telephone was put in to action. People who had heard and seen the strange machine notified oth- CTS and soon the whole lower part of the town was wise to their job The men arrived at Albert Greens at about 3sa. m. and at Frying Ecclestone's at 1:S0 They stopped, but argument 1 was presented that confirmed them in the belief that they had better beat Lit, which they did, and passed w. P.
 Holmes place in Pachaug, with no lights and closed up tight, at , a. m.
 It is said, that some surprising fire
 arms were got out. Barring a few I hens and the sheep and geese the raid
 which was evidently carefully planned, was a failure.

Good Work of Rural Association.

One of the duties of the president of the Norwich Town Rural association is to look after condition of sidewalks.
 Uptown people are largely indebted to the Rural association for much work done gratis in years past, and many improvements. A. W. Dickey gave largely of time and strength dur Ing the many years he was president, The calling attention this winter of householders to their icy sidewalks by the president and in most cases the quick response has doubtless prevented bad falls. One serious fall on an icy walk this week has been a warning, and walks are being sanded and stretches of ice more carefully looked after. Money and interest is lessened now when other calls are many, but physicians fees and expenses attend ing broken bones count up faster than contributions to the Rural association,

 Yet they didn't show it. They scratched and they flew about in short flights and they met occasion ally to be sure that they both, were all right and I left them at it to scurry back where the kitchen fire was roaring and the big stove glow 1 ing with grateful warmth.

Heaven pity the man, be he farmer or anything elees- whose only interest in life is bound up in getting food on to his plate to fodder himself with! We have spent most of our time at that occupation, it is true. Our fates or our faults keep most of our noses on the grindstone rather stringently. But merely living or getting that with which to live is function which we share in common with every beast and bird and bug that flies or runs or creeps. It is solely an animal pur- suit. And we are something more and better than mere animals.
 Aren't we?

FRENCH ATTACK
TRAPS 5O,OOO;;
SLAUGHTER HUNS
Density of German Troops
Fatal in Face of Ac-
curate Aim

With the French Army I'm France,
June 13.-On a width of battlefront
5000 yards in extent no fewer than
four German divisions (more than
$4,000 men) were preparing to hit a
hard blow when the French launched
a ly-successful counterattack
southeast of Montdidier. The density
of the German troops was fatal for
them because the Entente artillery.
machine guns, riflemen and aviators
were able to aim at point blank
range into these masses of men.
This concentrated fire did terrible ex-
ecution.
An entire division of the famous
Jaegers was cut to pieces at Ressons-
Sur -Matz, while a Guards division
lost a great proportion of its effec-
tives. Other divisions. it is learned,
suffered equally during the prepara-
tion for the attack and the advance
to the narrow valleys. all the passes
of which were dominated by the AL
lied guns.
