settlers with his own produce and
would have filled the ragged hat of a
beggar with guineas. One passionate
hatred he had-hatred against the en-
emies Of his king. All were alike to
him, high or low. The times, growing
beyond him, had put forward patriots.
But, all alike, he deemed them vipers

and he became a heavy owner OF Its
stock when it was cheap. So in later
years Mr.. Forbes was able to maintain
a racing stable as famous in Its neigh

use the money just at that time.

Workers. His father died early, and
as his mother was very poor he was
bound OUT to a farmer. whom he
served faithfully until he was 81. With
his hundred dollars and his freedom
suit" of clothes he drifted west to Min
nesota, where he married. The gold
fever came and he went on to Califor-
MIA, where he was associated with the
Bonanza quartette, Flood, Mackay, Fair
and O'Brien, in several mining ven
lures. In the prime OF his life he
was one Of the ten richest men in the
country and used to send home valua-
BILE presents to the farmer who had
reared him. But the old man was near
ly 80 when he died and in his later years
his fortune had diminished. Whether
1t Is single million or more or less
