daughter of Abraham PETER Vosburg,
and widow of Thomas Jans Minguel,
and they had four children: Abra-

His third wife was Ariaantje -.
In 1851, Evert left New York, re-

In Westmoreland, England, there is
a river named the Kent, and the Kent
dale was the valley or dale of the
Kent. One of the big families OF
Westmoreland lived in this dale in the
town Of Kirby-Kendal, or Kendale, as
1t used to be spelled, and became
known by the first part of the name
of the town as the Kendall, Kendall or
Kendale family. In County Cornwall
there is now, and for centuries has
been family of the same name who
came originally from Treworgy; and
although the descent of this Cornwall
family cannot be traced to the same
original stock, and probably came
originally from Kirby-in-Kendall
The Kendall family in England
bears the proud distinction of having
sent more members, perhaps, than any
other family to the British parlia-
ment. At all events it has sent as
many members as any other family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall, the great Eng
fish actors, whom we naturally think
of in connection with this name, were
not really named Kendall at all, but as
sumed the name for their stage ca
reers.
In this country the family was
founded by two brothers-Francis and
Thomas. They were born in England
and emigrated to Massachusetts Bay
Colony some time before 1910. One
of them, Thomas, settled at Lynn.
There he was married to one Rebec-
ca, and later-about 1653-went to
Reading, Mass, where he died in 1881,
leaving behind him a reputation for
his manliness and highly religious
character.
The other brother, Francis, settled
at Woburn, Mass, then called Charles.
town village. There he married Mary
Tidd, and like his brother moved to
Reading, Mass.
Francis had four sons and five
daughters, and Thomas had eight
daughters who reached maturity. One
of their biographers has this to say
about them: "The descendants OF
these pious Puritans have spread
themselves over the length and
breadth of this country as pioneers
and settlers, waking the forests and
plains from their long sleep. Some
were eminent divines, distinguished
lawyers, jurists and statesmen, jour
nalists, authors and travellers"
Thomas had no son reaching ma
turity, and however, he may have felt
about it, his eight daughters lamented
the fact that their good surname
should not be preserved. So they had
council of war, and decided to pre-
serve this name among their own chill
dren. They decided that each OF

f the wool clip all over the United
States should be reduced for the
year 1910, as it has been in Ari-
IONA, where the clipping is done
earlier than in other sections of
the country, the market will be high.
Arizona had the earliest clip in its
history this year. The clip is usual
ly at its height in Salt River valley
and in other sections of the territory
about the middle of February, where
as this year the sheep were all shorn
and on their way back to the hills on
February IL. The flocks wintered
we'll. but owing to the cold weather
the grass on the ranges continued
dry, and as a result the quality of the
wool was improved, while the output
was curtailed. So pronounced was
this shortage in the clip that instead
of the influx of several hundred thou
sand Of sheep into the clipping CEN
tiers Of the Salt River valley, the num-
bers could be counted by the thou
sands.
The clipping began this year about
the tenth of January, and by the mid
die of February was finished at Cave
Creek, Marinette, Beardsley, Hot
Springs Junction, Congress Junction
and Weden. Machines were used at
all these clipping centers with the ex.
ception of Weden and Congress juno.
ton, where the shearing was done by
hand. Shearing in the north was Ia
ter, but even there far ahead of the
usual season. Conditions were about
the same in Mohave county.
In former years it was customary
for the sheep men to drive their
focks from Mohave county to the Salt
River valley for the lambing and
shearing season, using the forest
ranges running north and south for
forage along the route both north and
south. But the new forest regulations
now prohibit this use of the govern
ment reserves; the sheep men have
been unable to get their flocks through,
especially through the Verde valley,
so that the movement south was aban-
doned this season
In addition to the restrictions placed
upon the forest reserves, the valleys
that In former years were green, ow-
ing to the cold dry weather and the
consequent lack of rains, this year
were not green enough to support the
moving fiocks. The result of this is
that those flocks which were moved
south, for lack of grazing in the CEN
trail Arizona valleys, had to hasten
back north, where the lambing proved
disastrous, not only to the laIhbkins
but to the ewes as we'll. For this
reason 20 per cent. of the sheep shorn
in Arizona for 1910 had the clipping
done in Yavapai county, midway be-
tween the valley and northern ranges,
this being the lowest altitude obtain
able where there was the combina-
ton of clipping facilities, nearby ship
ping points and fair ranges. By the
same token it is now predicted that
the lamb crop for the year will not
exceed 40 per cent of what 1t should
be, or would be under more favorable
conditions.
The largest shearing point in Yapavai
county this year was at Cordes, where
between 100000 and 100000 pounds of
wool was clipped. The clip at King
man ran to $4,000 head, and the gov

with a terrible eczema, being mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time I suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
irst bath with Cuticura Soap and ap-
plication of Cuticura Ointment I en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time I was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
