fair to prove a most gratifying surprise
to the rest OF the State and \ shoes
TO the associated liquor interests
The people of San Francisco ere
growing restless under the political
domination Of exploiters OF gambling
liquor, prostitution and public service
| Intelligent opinion is that much of thii

expression of this restlessness does no
come from the San Francisco Chamber

traffic, or are out OF intelligent touel
with Pacific Coast conditions outsid'

To Get Rid of Marks on Wood.

When wood is badly denied or
scratched 1t Is often a problem to
know how to get rid of the marks.
This is quite easy. First Of all fold
a piece of blOtting paper at least four
times; then saturate with water, final
ly allowing the superfuous moisture
to drip away. Now heat a fiat iron
until 1t is about the warmth required
for laundry work. Place the damp
plotting paper over the dent and press
firmly with the iron. AS soon as
the paper dries examine the mark.
1t will then be found that the cavity
has filed up to a surprising extent.
Where the dent Is a very deep a sec
and, or even third application on
the lines indicated might be tried.
Sooner or later even serious depres-
sions can be drawn up. RepOlishing
will clear away even the slight marks
that might finally remain.

friend entered Corydon, David caught
sight Of young man, tall as himself,
striding away down one Of the narrow
village lanes. He stiffened like a dog
that sees it's foe.
"Who Is that?" he asked sharply.
"ThatT' Toinette smiled at the
back of the retneating figure. That's
young Doctor Elliott Of Louisville. He
comes here once a week on his sorrel
mare"
"Oh" exclaimed David, relieved.
How absurd of him to suppose that in
this remote spot he should meet the
one human being he counted an en-
envy!
Toinette added no further word Of
comment on the young doctor; for al
though Elliott had been paying her
court for weeks, she had not yet de-
cided just what she thought Of him.
Mr.. O'Bannon drew David into Spen-

proprietor.
"They will take care Of you here

CHAPTER II.
Corydon.

SOIy0OHs
A short days march north Of the
broad current Of the Ohio. at the point
where two rapid creeks-Big Indian
and Little Indian-unite, stood clus-
ter Of thirty or forty cabins. The logs
that made the walls of the oldest Of
them had been growing in the virgin
forest three years before. In the
center of the village was a grassy
square. In 1t a new stone house, forty
| feet square, it's walls two and one-half
feet thick, its roof still incomplete,
stood in the shadow Of the forest trees
which had been left standing around it.
From the little settlement the prime
val forest stretched away to the sand
| dunes Of the Great Lakes, to the hills
Of the Ohio, to the prairies Of the ILL.,
nois country, vast tract of hundred
thousand square miles In extent; ST.
lent, inhabited only by savage beast
and more savage redskinned hunter ;
painless, dreadful, fascinating.
The settlement was Corydon; the
stone house the building which was to
be the first capitol of the territory and
the state hewn from the virgin woods.
Louisville, with 1900 inhabitants, 20
miles to the east; Vincennes, the Old
Post, with less than a thousand, 80
miles to the northwest; other than
these, no settlement Of any size in all
that savage empire, large as England
herself.
Hither came all the picturesque fig
ures of the new West. First to come
was the patriarch, Squire Boone,
brother Of Daniel Boone, the mighty
hunter Of Kentucky; then Lane, the
Penningtons, the Spencers, George
and Spier, the popularity Of the latter
giving rise to the old cOuplet:
| 'Mongst all the Boones thar's jest one
Squire;
'Mongst all the Spencers jest one
Spier.
Spier Spencer it was who opened
| the tavern by the half-fnished court
house. and enlisted the men of the
country in that heroic company known
as "Spencer's Yellow Jackets" Will

nor Of the territory, had laid out his
farm of 800 acres on the edge of the
village, and there planted his orchard
of green pippins and romantics; and
hither, to Corydon, came his friend,
Colonel Thomas Posey, proud of the
title won in the war with England
thirty years before, but willing to
serve again as a private should a
second war arise.

he shows that he is not anxious to be-

is worth if he happens to call at your
home few times. In fact, don't set
your cap for him unless you have the
knowledge that he is heartwhole and
fancy free and is looking about for
girl to fall in love with and we'd"
Even then the cap should be adroitly
set and without being apparent. 1t Is
always the girl who does not show ex-
traordinary interest in a man who
arouses his interest and awakens his
appreciation. !
The same holds good in regard to
widowers, rs they fall under the head
of unmarried men. Girls think they
set their cap so cleverly for man that
he does not know Of 1t. They may fool
one of the young men unsophisticated
in the ways Of women, but they can
never fool widowey. He is up to all
their little articles and feminine tricks
to capture his heart. The man who
falls In love deeply enough will al
ways marry. He does not have to be
angled for. The girl he likes cannot
dodge from him, no matter how hard
she may try.
A manageable man always knows
what kind of women appeal to him. 1t
is seldom, If ever, that he selects his
bride from those who have set their
caps for him. Girls should appreciate
mans friendship, not expecting ev-
