understand that in 1865, when Forrest was
touring through the Eastern States, there were
no stock companies such as there are now and
In consequence it was necessary for some COM
petent member of the company to constantly
rehearse the subordinates. Well, Forrest was
in ill health and Mccullough, his leading man,
was the only available person who could at
tend to this. Mind you there were times when
Forrest did it and naturally his individuality
prevailed, being the stronger of the two 1t
was in this way that Mccullough came to use
the Forrest gesture, the Forrest style, the For
rest infection and the Forrest method. He
tried to, and in great measure succeeded in
clothing himself in Forrest robes, but in his
best moods, in his finest acting, there was con-
stantly above him the sublimity and grandeur
of the master. He had reached his topmost
rung, yet the invincible tutor was beyond

There was nothing more for him to do. His
early education barred the possibility of fur

in the parts where his master was great

Mr.. Bangs looked as though he meant just
what he said.
Out OF the entire State of Virginia, from
which sculptors, poets, artists. musicians,
statesmen, noYelists and journalists have
sprung, there has been but one actor, and that
actor was Frank Bangs. He has been on the

friend of the lamented Mccullough.
Louis A. Garnett, q mining and financial
expert whose article in the January Forum on
the monetary controversy has reused the rabid
resentment of Mr.. Harvey, the author of the
unique publication, "Coin's Financial School,"
was the organizer and president of the old Am
ador Mining Company. He tells the following
story of how Alvinza Hayward, owner of the
mine got his start in life, which as an illustra-
ton OF the pluck and depth of feeling that
characterized the pioneers is not easily sur.

"Back in the sos Hayward and man named
Chamberlin were partners in little mine in
Ell Dorado County, and Chamberlin, growing
disguised with the outlook, sold out and in
vested in small farm. Hayward went over
into Amador County, got possession of the I'M
developed mine and proceeded to sink for the
ore he felt convinced was there. He worked
in the face of no end of encouragement, such
as lack of means, the growing discon-
tent of his men, and, above all, the
apparent worthlessness of the prop
erty; but he kept right on with the logged
perseverance that has had much to do with
his subsequent success. Two hundred, three
hundred feet were sunk, and no ore in sight
The situation was becoming desperate. He
was employing large force of men, was $780,
900 in debt, and had got down to his last sack
of -four, but still he was game. Going over to
the store one day he asked for more provisions,
but the proprietor's patience was exhausted.
"T know, Hayward was the polite reply,
you're honest, and will pay when you can, but
really, sir, I can't give you any more credit
"'Well,t SAYS HAYWARD, let me have one more
sack, and if 1 don't strike ore when that's out,
l won't ask for more
"On those conditions he got the sack and
went after the ore again. But 1t was no use,
the sack was exhausted and yet no ore in sight.
"Hayward didn't say much about 1.-THE isn't

horse one day, rode over to Chamberlin's ranch
and laid the situation before his former part

finished the tale rose quietly and motioned
him to follow. Going out behind the house, he
took pitchfork standing there and scratched
away some straw that lay on the ground near
by. From small hole thus disclosed he took
out bag and without word handed it over
to Hayward The bag contained $4,000. No
scratch of the pen was wasted, no more words
were exchanged. Men acted in those days.
Hayward rode back to his mine, paid off his
men and quietly went to work again. At
depth of 500 feet ore was struck, and rich
lead it was. In few months a sixty-stamp
mill was erected and the mine paying hand
