As child there was little to
distinguish Amos from the other

may have looked q little more

have been impossible.
But as he approached maturity
he showed clearly one OF the true
attributes of leadership. For he
would not work, and whenever
his fond father got him a job he
promptly lost 1t, without relay
or equivocation.
He also developed a taste for
the better grades of hooch and
for the environment of the haut
monde. He would hang around
hotel Hobbies until all hours of
the day and night.
