We begged together on the "main-drag" that day for pennies, and what we received was spent for "shupers" of beer I don't know how they are spelled, but they are pronounced the way I have spelled them, and they cost three cents. I was watching my chance all the time for a get-away. From some bo on the drag I managed to learn what time a certain freight pulled out. I calculated my time accordingly.
I remember, inside the prison at Buffalo, how some of us got magnificently jingled, and how, on the streets of Buffalo after our release, another jingle was financed with pennies begged on the main-drag. I had no call for alcohol, but when I was with those who drank, I drank with them.
By themselves come the road-kids, sporting an infinite variety of monicas. On the water-tank at San Marcial, New Mexico, a dozen years ago, was the following hobo bill of fare: Main-drag fair. Bulls not hostile. Round-house good for kipping. North-bound trains no good. Privates no good. Restaurants good for cooks only. Railroad House good for night-work only.
