PUPIN ON THE BowERY

often and often | had to keep my
appetite in check. l always had
enough to buy my bowl of hot coffee
and a brace, of crullers for break
fast in restaurant on wheels, sta
toned near Cooper Union, where
Third avenue cardrivers took their
coffee on cold winter mornings.
During periods of financial strin-
gency my lunches were a bowl of
bean soup and chunk of brown
bread, which the Bowery mission sup
piled for five cents. 1t was splen-
did meal on those cold winter days.
But the Bowsry mission supplied
prayer meeting with red hot speeches
as dessert; some of these addresses
really enjoyed, there were speakers
however, who offended me. because
they confessed they were reformed
drunkards and goddess men, and they
assured their hearers. victims of the
economic crisis just like myself, that
they would prosper IL they would
only sign the pledge and vow to re-
turn to Jesus. I neither drank any
nor did l ever desert Jesus; the re-
formed drunkard's views OF human
life depressed me and drove me away

Carrying coal from sidewalks to
cellars and shovelling snow from side
walks during that memorable winter
were heathful jobs and cheerful
enough, but not very renumerative;
painting cellars and Easements on
Lexington avenue was more remuner-
ative, but fearfully depressing. To
spend ones time day after day in
dark cellars and Easements and pass
the night in a cherries hall room
in Norfolk street, surrounded by
neighbors who were mostly foreign
born of the most unattractive type,
was too much for a Serbian youth

native village and from the banks of
the golden Delaware. The reading
room of the Cooper Union library re-
lieved somewhat my mental depres-
