conception one could imagine and a most appropriate one too The expense of making It would be but little more than that incurred in making any other float and the result would be Wghlv satisfactory The process Is easy and the materials cheap All they have to do is to go to the lake and there Is 80x40 miles of salt to work with I see that i some one probably with n view to securing se-curing a

nickel In the slot machine made Its appearance In the city yesterday and was placed on exhibition at one of the hotels There were three or four colors to play all of which gave a man n chance to win from 10 cents to n dollar and the boys patronized J liberally No one lost any money and the crowd fairly foil over itself getting In to play combinations com-binations to beat the machine One dropped his nickel in the slot and two came out In the box sometimes a check for a quarter sometimes a half and quite frequently n dollar Finally a fellow fel-low turned the crank when there were no nickels In the slot and down came the usual two for one just the same He tried it again and lo more money rattled Into tho box Then there was a scramble He got a friend to take the money from the box while he turned the crank Just to show they were good fellows they dropped one nickel In each time and the results were simply tremendous After they had accumulated several dollars and veto in a fair way to break the machine ma-chine the man who acts as agent happened hap-pened In Ho noticed yellow winning when black was played and green payIng pay-Ing dividends when red was gambled on and he made a
