I had played poker, and had the same experience that every man has who is not a professional. I had won as much as several hundred dollars in a night, and the next day I had gone out and spent my win- recklessly and foolishly. A few nights later lost as much or a good deal more than I had won. In other words, I threw away what I won and put my nose to the grind- stone to pay what I lost, and this did not take into account the tax on nerves and health. I had never speculated until last fall. Everybody was talking cotton and as I happened to have a good deal of extra money at the time I bought about worth of con And cotton went up.

Past they went, and I began to lose flesh and go unshaven. more I won the greedier I became. When I began I would have sworn that when I got ahead I would stop, but at the profit mark I was a furious bull, screaming that cotton must go to cents. And one day I was ahead of the game.
