It up to enter tbe real estate business

scale and purchased many thousand
acres of wooded western lands both In
tbe United States and Canada. He
never married.
Collecting antiques was his sole diver

dissipated to the extent of reading a
novel. He found money so easy to get
that be frequently said that there
must be something tbe matter with
the poor.

border of tbe town without leaving bis

"Yes, and I pay taxes to Spain and
England as well."
Within ten years Mr. Wyman bought
tax title to more than 20,000 acres of
land In Maine. His favorite procedure
In tbe west was to buy wooded land,
sell the timber, usually for more tban
tbe price of tbe land, and keep tbe
land. He frequently spoke of a coal
mine, a silver mine and a railroad of
which he was owner.
He continued bis studies throughout
life and was a Latin and Greek schol
ar as well as being versed In econom
ics. He possessed a remarkable mem
ory and could quote offband the corpo
