BOWERY NEMESIS
FOR AN IRISHMAN
Repeatedly He Has Spent His
Savings Drinking, He
Telia Scribe
New York, Dec. 22.—Tt phot)Id be
n merry Christmas for the slniHtei
KoUdess whfl. rules over the Bowery
in its Journey from Mott street to
Cooper square.
For somewhere nlojrs: the wet pave-
ments of this once-bad old street, Mat
"Anderson of Ireland and nowhere in
particular, stumbled, today, red-face#
and bleary-eyed, muttering to himsoif.
Nor should the fact that com-
merce. more resprctable deity, has
Jpvaded her realm of cheap flop
houses and joints with a medley of
polyglot signs worry Our Lady of the
Bowery.
Has sh« not won for the sixth time
her annual battle with Mat?
Six years apo a few months before
Christmas Mat said goodbye to his
wife and two kiddies in Cork and set
out tor New York.
•'Sure an' I'll save me mqpey an'
send for you before the holidays," he
told them.
Today, over a cup of coffee in a
church restaurant on llivington
street near where the once fnmous
"(),no Mile House" departed this life
since the Eighteenth amendment,
used to operate, Mat told his story
through drunken tt ars.
"Twas six years aso, i first knew
this d:imn street,'' lie mused. ''She
was wilder then, what with the wide
open saloons an' all, but I got me a
room in a Joint cp Pell street, a Jcb
nn' saved me money for awhile.
"An' then just when 1 was ready
to send for me wife an' babies the
ould street says to me as I sat in
me bare room, one night 'Mat ye
damned fool, why don't you go out
an' ge' r drink an' have a *ood time
—sure an' it's crazy, you are, sitting
here like a ninny.'
"An' when next I knew anything
i* was Christmas time an' I was
broke, an' no wife and no babies,
there were.
''It's been that way ever since—
always whejo I get nearly enough
money to send for them the Bowery
says: 'Come alnog—an' I come.
'Worry Christmas—merry hell'"

Among Yogges peasants, children
born on Christinas Eve are supposed

termed "a good gift of the gab." while
those born on Christmas Day are sup
posed to have less tongue and better
reasoning powers. A daughter born on
