ODD COIN IN SLOT MACHINE
Wartime Pocket-Piece Finds It's

ceptacle.

A strange piece of coin was found in
a slot machine in an lola cigar store the
other day, reports the Kansas City
Journal. 1t is a small metallic plate
about the size Of a nickel, but of copper.
On n side is a likeness Of the Amer
lean flag, with the words, "The Flag of
Our Union" On the other side are the
words, IF anyone attempts to tear IL
down, shoot him on the spot" The CEN
ter of this side contains the word.
DIX" The date 1863 appears on the
coin. The banks knew nothing of it.
During the civil war, when Gen. Ben
Butler was holding New Orleans in line,
an American flag was floating from the
city hall, There was frantic talk of
tearing 1t down, and Maj. Gen. Dix is
sued the order printed on the coin, IF
anyone attempts to pull 1t down, shoot
him on the spot" Butler was the man
to execute such an order, and Old Glory
snapped and waved above the rebellious
city unmolested. How the pocket piece
came into the slot machine is no
known.

Twenty-four by thirty-nine and one
half feet is foundation enough for a
good-sized house. By following this
plan a house like this may be built un-
del favorable circumstances for about
$500 or 81 1900. There is no expensive
finish about the house, but everything
Is plain and neat. A hollow brick wall
is intended for the cellar and the cellar
is TO have a brick floor, properly
drained, and the drains connected with
a cesspool constructed. in a scientific
manner.
There are three good-sized bedrooms
on the second floor, and a splendid at
tic room over the kitchen for storage,
and an attic for ventilation over the
whole house, The arrangement OF the
rooms is somewhat different from the
ordinary house plan, but it is a good
arrangement where there are a number
of children in the family, or In some
cases where hired help is boarded in
the house.
A distinguishing feature is the large
kitchen. There is ample room for
cooking for a large familyand the cellar
and pantry accommodations are in
keeping with the kitchen. The kitchen
In this plan is 13Hx16 feet, with corner
windows and an outside door In one
corner.
New houses without the furniture
and ~belonings Of the family are decep-
tive. A family can manage perhaps
with a parlor and living room without
any business arrangement about the
house at all, but it would be a hard to
mouth existence. 1t would be after
the tenement district plan in some of
large cities, where they send the
children to the corner store every Is
minutes for five cents worth of pota-
toes, a piece of beefsteak the size of
