Show MADE FORTUNE ON RACE TRACK. One Man Has Won Where Thousands Have Come to Ruin. Frank England, a Jersey City man, 37 years old, says that ho has won a' fortune of $150,000 by betting at tho raco tracks. He started with a capl- ff tal of 75 cents and has accumulated a sufficient sum to keep him in comfort com-fort for tho rest of his life. That's one case; for that ono wo will venture ven-ture tho prediction that there aro 100 instances whore men havo started with a fortune of $150,000 and wound up with 75 cents as a result of gambling gam-bling on horse races. Every dollar that Mr. England won camo out of some other man's pocket. Tho man , who starts with 5 cents capital, who engages in legitimate business and who by good management and thrift succeeds in collecting a sum equal to that which Mr. England possesses fj benefits tho community. Ho helps to create wealth, while the gambler who wins has merely enriched himself entirely at tho expense of others. |
