COILS p.

A Connecticut oy-on Of nine children
born In 1921. His parents were poor but
thrifty. AT a very early age he was COM
PEELED to do such work as he could. Ex-
cepting four months in the year, when at
school, he worked hard all the time. He
was Il years of age when he went to
work for a neighbor at 81 per month and
board. At the end of the year he had
saved all the money thus earned. AT the
age of Il he had we'd enough money to
go into the general merchandise business
with his brother. When the news OF the
discovery of gold in California came.
he drew $1,000 from his business and
started west via the Isthmas of Panama.
For want OF shipping facilities he. with
many others, was detained on the Isthmus
for three months. During this time he
traded in commodities and made "a, 9oO,
to d to his original $1,000.
He located in Sacramento and engaged
IN the hardware and miners supply lbusi-
ness. In q few years he had sufficient
capital to undertake uniting the two
coasts with a railroad.
To his untiring efforts are we indebted
for the first trans-continental railroad.
He anaassed a fortune OF over 80 million
dollars.

was excused for the day by Jennings
and Coveleskie went to the mound with

Bush, and Milan furnished the third
out by allowing himself TO be caught on

profitable to play the ball from fur
