He always slept soundly; even when many anxieties were on his mind, his snores resounded "like coal going down a chute."

One of seven children, he quit school early, parlayed 50 chickens into a flock of 10,000, but lost nearly all of them one winter when he came down with pneumonia and turned over his flock to some friends. At 18 he wangled a job as manager of a grocery store in nearby Manawa...
