Regardless Of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering and deaths than any
other organs of the body.
A majority of the ills affecting people
to-day is traceable to kidney trouble. 1t
pervades all classes of society, in all eli
mates, regardless of age, sex or condition
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in
the back, desire to urinate often day or
night, profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in
urine are signs of clogged kidneys, caus-
ing poisoned and germ filled blood. Some
times the heart acts badly, and tube casts
wasting of the Kidneys are found in the
urine, which if neglected will result in
Bright's disease, the most dangerous form
of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-root. 1t has a
world wide reputation for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.

Fifty-four years ago there was no such
place known as Breedsville. 1t was a
vast wilderness, twenty miles from any
settlement of white people. Fifty
four years ago, the first of May, 1885
my father, Barnard NJ. Howard, and
my grand father, Jonathan ~ Hinck.
ley of Monroe county, state of New
York, came west for the purpose OF
finding some timber land and place to
build a saw mill. They wanted water
power, as there was no such thing as
steam millssin those days. They came
on to Paw Paw. There they got Rodney
Hinckley and Steven Fountain to help
them look for land. They came on down
to what is now known as Bangor There
Rodney Hinckley climbed hemlock
tree to look over the timber to see where
the best site was for pine timber. He
saw the tops of the pines at this place.
They came here and selected some three
or four lots, and while standing on the
bank on the south side of the river talk
ing about the land and timber, Founts
said he could not see anything lacking
land, water power or timber excep

father ask what the tree was they
standing under. 1t was an oak be
3 and 4 feet in diameter. "Well,"t
i had not noticed one before"
Then, returning to Paw Paw, amer
and grandfather went to Kalamazoo and
took up part of the land where Breeds

vile now stands. Then they returned
to Paw Paw and got, think, Dexter and
Rodney Hinckley and Steven Fountain.
Five of them came to this place, pulled
some elm bark, made them shed to
sleep under while they cut the timber
off from about half an acre of land, cut
the logs and put up the body Of log
house and covered it with elm bark and
planted few potatoes where they had
cut the timber. Then, returning to Paw
Paw, father and grandfather returned
home in July or August of the same
year. / was away from home about two
miles cutting wheat for 90 cents an acre.
One afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock
grandfather came into the field and said
he wanted to talk with me about build
ing him a mill in Michigan. He said
mother told him was about to get mar
ried. told him that was mistake, for
| had not thought of the thing. Well,
he said he wanted / should come to
Michigan and build mill for him. He
made me an offer of what he would do.
/ thought it good one and it was il it
had been fulfilled. | said il my girl
would consent to it, we would come. So
| went to see her and told her what grand
father had offered me. So on the second
day of September, 1885, married Eliza
beth Anderson, lovely black eyed girl
of eighteen summers. Myron Hoskins
and Sarah Brown, now living In Paw
Paw, stood up with us and were married

ceremony. Four or five days after this
we started for this place in company with
Silas Breed, his wife and three children,
one daughter and two boys and girl
by the name of Taylor that Breed had
taken to bring up, Amos s. Brown, his
wife and three sons and one daughter,
Samuel Watson, wife, two sons, one
grand son and one daughter and William
Taylor. We came up the canal on line
boat. We were two days getting up to
Buffalo. There we took steamboat up
the lake for Detroit. The lake was rough
and sicker set you never saw we
were two days on the lake, arriving at
Detroit, Friday afternoon. Then came
the question, how were we to get across
the state to this place? We finally con-
cluded to buy an OK team and wagon,
thinking the women could ride, the men
and boys could go on foot; but when we
got our baggage loaded we had full
load with no chance for women; but Mrs.
Breed having small child, was OBJ
liged to ride, and Wells G.. Brown being
cripple, we were obliged to pile him on
top of the load. 1t took us all the fore
noon Saturday to get the team and load
up: so after dinner we started from De
troit for this place, all on foot excepting
the two mentioned above. We made nine
miles out of Detroit that afternoon.
That night man by the name of Hutch
inson overlook us and stopped with US.
He was coming on to Marshall. He had
a horse team and light wagon and two
yoke of oxen on a big lumber wagon.

light wagon with his family. got a

team where the roads were good. That

was not much OF the way, for it rained
as often as every other day and night
and sometimes oftener. The rest OF US
being on foot, we travelled all together,
stopping at the same places. ! and my
wife would get up in the morning before
the rest and start on foot. We would
walk from one to three miles, stop and
get our breakfast. While eating, the
rest OF the company would pass Us and
go two or three miles further on aud
then stop for their breakfast. Then we
would have to walk on and and overtake
them. In that way We finally got to
Marshall on Friday some time after noon.
Then Hutchinson left US to take it on
foot as we did the first half day We
travelled on till night overlook us; stop
ping over, we hired two men TO take US
to Kalamazoo, arriving there Sunday
about nine or ten o'clock, Taylor driving
our OK team. When he came up, the
rest of the company came on to Paw
Paw. / stopped over Sunday. Uncle
Asa Hinckley came TO Kalamazoo after me
with two yoke of oxen, so we had good
ride all the way from Kalamazoo to Paw
Paw. Young ladies and gentlemen
would you not like to take a wedding
tour like the one have just described.
1t rained SO much that we had to stop
in Paw Paw about two weeks on account
of the river being so high we could not
get across it at Monroe's place, there
being no bridge there then. After the
water dried away, on the thirtieth day
of September, 1885, we loaded up two
wagons with some lumber and the goods
we had with us and an old stove and
started for Breedsville; that is, myself
and wife, Grandfather Hinckley, Silas
Breed, Amos S. Brown, ST., Amos S.
Brown, Jr., Samuel Watson, Leonard and
Lyman Watson and | think Dexter
Hinckley, who drove one of the teams,
Lyman Watson driving the other. We
came on to Monroe's place, he not living
there and there being no bridge we had
to take our lumber and make US a raft
to cross the river; the oxen had to swim.
We finally got across the river and loaded
up again. We started on our way COM
ing on about a mile and a half when
night overlook us and we had to stop
and fix for the night As it was raining,
we took some of the lumber and made
us shed to sleep under; grand father
started to make fire but it was so wet he
could not get the punk to burn from the
flint There being no matches in the
country at that time, we had to make
our fire with flint and punk. Grand
father took a piece of punk and, holding
it to the muzle of my rifle, | shot it off.
The punk took fire, so we got fire start
ed. Then our supper; then to prepare
our bed for ten of us, all in one bed of
brush and leaves on the ground Next
morning it did not rain and we got our
breakfast, loaded up and started; on
coming to some creek, we drove the team
in; the banks were so high and steep the
oxen could not get out, we had to take
shovels and dig down the bank to get out
of the creek At one creek, Watson was
driving the team on which some lumber,
the stove and my wife were, he tipped

Is the Supply OF -'sea Gl-tluishing
1t is now asceItained beyond all
doubt that there are two millions more
women than men in Great Britain and
that the ratio of increase Is growing In
favor of the female. AS this fact be
comes palmer to Englishmen even the
question of the coal supply loses some
of it's importance. Nothing, indeed,
can be more distressing TO Great Brit
ain, as at present constituted. than to
have her supply of men diminished.
Consequently very earnest inquiries
are being made as to the cause OF this
growing discrepancy In the sexes.
Lombroso some time ago called atten-
ton to this In France and intimated
very plainly that the decline Of mascu-
Unity In the birth rate was chiefly no.
ticeable in those communities where
the decline of the masculine was a
precedent In the social conditions. In
those races where the male continues
to be the dominant executive factor he
continues to be slightly in excess Of the
female. The philosophical conclusion
here arrived at is that as woman OBJ
tains more extensively in the manage
ment of affairs man will disappear.
And this was really advanced as some
thing to be proud of by one Of the
women who attended the recent con-
gress in London. She drew from the
statistical facts a most consoling infer
ence and declared that it proved that
man was not the fittest to survive and
was already disappearing.

them over partially into the creek. 1t so
happened that it did not hurt her much,
but she would not ride any further un-
less drove the team myself, so had to
drive the rest Of the way to the place
now called Breedsville, arriving about
half hour before shutdown.
Just as we had got our supper ready
we had company come in to stay with
US all night, Myron Hoskins and STRAIT
ton Adams. They had been to South
Haven. There was no one living at
South Haven at that time. All was
vast wilderness from Paw Paw to Sauga-
tuck on the lake. After supper we had
to prepare our bed under the bark shed
made in the spring. Our bed was made
Of hemlock boughs, all sleeping in one
bed under the shed, eleven men and one
woman. So we lived and slept four days
and nights, my wife cooking for the men
while we fixed the house so we could get
into it. We split Eastwood and hewed
out planks for the lower floor. We then
built house for Uncle Sam. Watson;
next one for Amos S. Brown, ST., my
wife cooking for the men about two
weeks before any other woman came
here. Then Breeds and Watson's fami-
hes came; soon after Browns family
came.
That was the first starting point of
Breedsville, where the wolves were so
thick that you could not stand out of the
house half an hour at a time without
hearing then howl in some direction.
They would come to my house at night
and put their fore feet upon the window
sill and look into the house, or at least |
thought so, for their tracks would be
there in the snow in the morning,
some six or eight at a time. could
tell you good deal more but time will

That Sparrow Bounty.

1t may be that the little, pugnacious
English sparrow is nuisance, but the
attempt to exterminate him or to limit
his number by placing two cent bounty
on his head is an expensive and some
what unsatisfactory experiment.
During the first six months of the cur
rent year, Van Buren, county has paid
for sparrow bounty the sum OF S3Ol.54,
as follows: January, S4406; February,
s20.26; March, 240; April, s2l.3S; May,
1924; June $1,000. This sum represents
the destruction of 1907 sparrows-or
some other kind of birds-and, judging
from the way the returns are coming in,
their numbers must be increasing instead
of decreasing
And the business of hunting sparrows
does not seem to be confined entirely to
boys. Since the first day of May, one
man, Chas Welcher of Decatur, has
drawn from the public treasury for spar
row bounty the sum of S1l3.66. His in
come from this source during the month
of June amounted to $50. Hunting spar
rows seems to be profitable business,
and then there is all the fun of the hunt
besides.
Considering Van Buren, to be an aver
age county for sparrows, the people of
Michigan must pay out over $4,000
sparrow bounty each year.
Appearances indicate that breeding
sparrows would be lucrative vocation.
Perhaps some people may already have
alrea dy made this discovery.
