"It was in a newly-opened cut that Jurgis worked, and so he knew that he had an all-winter job. He was so rejoiced that he treated himself to a spree that night, and with the balance of his money he hired himself a place in a tenement-room, where he slept upon a big home-made straw mattress along with four other working-men."
Chapter Twenty-three in Upton Sinclair's original serial for Appeal to Reason, the unexpurgated version of what became "The Jungle."
