coins was a So gold piece. In those
days, when people were left to their

were uppermost in nearly everybody's
mind in places where the people con-
gregated in their leisure hours. The

So father. with the others, was busily
thinking of some trick he might turn
for the diversion of himself and the
others, and finally an idea occurred to
him.
Watch me start everybody digging

stood near. With that he dropped the
S. coin and stealthily kicked some
sand over it. Then he contrived to
scrape around and uncover II, whereat
he started a great commotion over the
fact that he had found money in the
sand. Soon every boy and young man
and some Of the older ones, too, were
burrowing around in the river bank

other gold piece. Father and his

give up his money and Hatch became

for putting it on the market might
now be rolling in wealth. AS 1t
turned out, each drew down $3.50
in royalties and a Milwaukee firm
that contracted to manufacture the
torch has a surplus of 3 200 in stor-
age.
H. A. j. Mcdonald, now postmas-
ter here, and John A. Gavin, we're
the inventors. In those days they
were employed at the David Don
hardware store, which has since
quit business. Mr.. Mcdonald was
office manager of the concern and
Mr.. Gavin worked in the tin shop.
Mr.. Mcdonald was commander of
the republican Flambeau club. 1t
was a large organization, and be-
came famous throughout this part
of the state for it's military appear
ance when on parade. 1t was invit-
ed to many of the surrounding
cities, to head the night professions
when some distinguished spellbinder
was on hand to round up the faith
full.
Mr.. Mcdonald found there was
much objection to the old oil torch.
Many of the men refused to carry a
light for the reason that their cloth
ing would be damaged by the drip
ping oil from the torch. He got
the ear of Mr.. Gavin, and they went
to work to plan a torch in which
powder could be substituted for oil.
They labored many weeks on the
contriyance, and finally successfully
worked out their ideas. They were
careful not to disclose their secrets
to others, for there were already
three different patented fiambeau
torches on the market, but all OF
them were failures. They did all
of the experimenting at night. Free
quent trips were made to the woods
at the south of the city to try out
the torch. On more than one occa-
sion they were pursued as suspected
incendiaries. The principle en-
pIoyed in the operation of the torch
was to keep a small light burning
at the top of the can, the latter
filled with powder. Midway on the
holder of the torch was a mouth
piece. In this at a given signal the

BALD HEADED MEN

| Ignorance of the Hair Causes Much
Badness Among Men.
Early piety doesn't cause badness,
neither does any kinG of piety. Some
j, baldheaded men console themselves
with the idea that badness Is caused
by a superabundance of gray brain
matter, and would have the world be-
lieve that a baldhead is a sign Of great
intellect.
Such, however, is not the case.
Ninety-nine times in 100, badness is
caused by dandruff germs which dig
down deep into the roots OF the hair,
destroy it's vitality and cause it to fall
out.
All this may come gradually and
take time, but as an up to date humor-
list would say, what's time to a dand-
ruff gen
If you have dandruff, the little invi-
sible, persistent devils called dandrufr
germs are at work. Destroy them at
once, or sooner or later they will cause
your hair TO fall out and you will be
compelled to take your place in the
baldheaded class.

Did you ever on a calm, still night,

found that her husband had not re-
