fortune overtalSes a young couple. But
when young fellow begins TO bet on
horses he's past redemption, and we
have to foreclose to save our goods"
The saddest feature of the last rae
ing season in Chicago was, however,
the interest manifested by women.
Scores of them attended the races and
placed money on the horses. They
were losers in ninety-nine cases ont of
a hundred; and many crooked ways
were invented to account to their hus-
bands for missing funds. An instance
of how some women are carried away
by the gambling mania was exposed in
a courtroom a few weeks ago.
The young wife of a Woodworking
salesman was persuaded to risk a few
dollars on a horse race last June. She
became infatuated with the game, for
sock her husband and child, after
disposing of every article of household
furniture and every stitch of clothing
she could spare. When her means were
exhausted she sank to the lowest
depths of degradation. The heart
broken husband, for the sake of his
child, made several attempts to reclaim
the woman, but without success She
staid with him long enough to secure
more money with which to try her luck,
and finally found her way into society
too low to be mentioned in this jour.
nal. The affair was to be aired in the
divorce courts, but suicide terminated
it the day before it was to be heard.
Within three months the young woman
passed from state of honored WIFE
hood and motherhood into gambling
dens, police courts and u suicide 8
grave.
1t may safely be asserted that the
vice of betting is the cause of more
misery and Righteousness than are
open gambling houses, as many who
would never think of entering one Of
the latter institutions visit race tracks
patronized by a sprinkling of respect
able people.
The artist has succeeded admirably in
depicting race on "a betting track. He
shows how the "favorite" is prevented
from winning. The good horse rebels
against the rudeness of his jockey, but
there is too much money at stake to let
him come in first. The weakest ami
NAL, on the other hand, is urged to win
in way which, while it may be trifle
overdrawn. is nevertheless truthful
expose of the methods employed. In

GAMBLING ON HORSES.
Race Tracks Devoted to Book
makers and Betting.
Pernicious institutions to Be Found In
Almost Every Large City-Why They
Are a Menace to Society Some
Pointed Illustrations.
Especial Chicago letter.


Betting on horse races is fast becom-
ing the national vice of America. 1t
has led astray more men and women
than all other gambling devices com
bined. Why a horse race cannot be
conducted on a strictly legitimate basis,
just like baseball and other popular
sports, is more than l can see Thou
sands of persons attend ball games
without ever thinking of betting on. the
results of the game, but let the same
people go to race and they will put
up the last dollar they have on some
horse which they think will come in
ahead of its competitors.
Unprincipled men who have made
human weakness and folly a study have
reduced horse racing to scandal
Almost every large city in the country
has at the present time q race course
devoted to bool1makers and their vic
tins. The races are mere cloak. Once
in a great while a favorite horse is per-
mitted to win race, but usually I'M
known animals come in first. A betting
crowd always has q favorite. a few
bri ght young men in the employ of the
boolmakers devote their time to giving
tips" to their acquaintanccs. In q
stage whisper such information is con.
veyed from one race track habitue to
the other, and "favoritc" is born
Betting runs all one way At the close
of the race the ''favorite" is far behind
some inferior animal, and the book
makers have reaped golden harvest.
Horse racing that is kept up by the
gambling elements is not sport. In the
very nature of things there can be moth
ing honest about it. 1t is conducted
like all other games of chance, to make
money for the promoters. Chicago,
like every other large city, contains
thousands of people who are always
searching for a way to make a
