Arather philosophical genius the other
day in the person of a devoted habitue
of the race tracks. He is known to be
an inveterate better and a pretty fair
judge of horsefesh, and can pick out
winners on public form so well that the
professional touts invariably give him
wide berth. He frequently gets on
the wrong side. however, as does every
body who follows the horses for any
length of time. He was engaged in
tearing up pocketful of losing tickets

feelings as follows: ESa
"A man who is so fortunate as to
carry away from the races more money
than he brought with him finds win
ming more disastrous than losing. When
he loses money it is lost, and there is
an end of it. He simply has to deprive
himself of cigars and other things
that he is better off without for a
week or more. But the winning is
quite another affair. 1t costs him so
much to spend it. Perhaps l come of
two hundred dollars or three hundred
dollars better. The first thing | do is
to blow in large share of it on some
piece of foolishness or other.
"Then I'll spend the rest of it on

stop there. The very next day | do
the same thing over-spend the same
money, l mean. Perhaps this time it
will be for something / really am in
need of, but / buy too much of it, or a
little better quality than l would have
done if hadn't had that windfall the
day before; and when prudence urges
me to be careful I find myself saying:
