As soon as Thomas was old enough to work, he drifted about wherever he could find a job. He grew up to be a wandering laboring boy, without any education and with very little ambition. But he was sober and honest. His friends liked him for his good humor and for the good stories he told. He was tall and stalwart and successful in the ath lctic contests of those days.
