HER CHILDHOOD.

The father felt a just pride in his
eldest daughter. The assistance
which she had rendered her mother
during his long absence in Mexico
and California had even more close
ly endeared her to his heart, and her
love of study had prompted him to
give part of his income to her proper
education. Accordingly, in 1853 the
daughter was sent to the Convent of
st. Vincent. near Morganfield, KY,
branch of the Nazareth Institute,
the oldest institution of the kind in
the country. This was the nearest
educational establishment of sulfi-
cient advancement in the higher
branches of knowledge. The young
lady was reared a Baptist; after her
marriage she Joined The Methodist
church. the church OF the Logan
family.
Having graduated in 1870, Miss
Cunningham returned to her fathers
home at Shawneetown. In her
younger days. when mere child,
she had aided ner father as Sheriff
of the county, Clerk of the Court and
Register of the Land Office in pre-
pairing his papers. Those were not
the days of blank forms and legal
documents. Accordingly the father
depended upon the daughter to
make copies for him. While Mary
Cunningham was thus aiding her
father in his official duties. John A.
Logan was Prosecuting Attorney of
the district. He had known Father
Cunningham and was his warm
friend. He had known the daugh-
ter as a little girl. In 1855 they
were married and at once went to
the young attorneys home at Ben
ton, Franklin county. The bride
was sixteen years of age, but her
young life had already been one of
usefulness to her mother and great
service to her father.

How Watch Cases are Made.

:. Most persons have an ambition to carry

how . watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GoLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion Of the metal is needed
only to stiffsn and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The:
surplus is not only needless. but undesira-
ble, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-Atting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal

A BADGER BATTING.
The Way Lincoln Won o Bet with
the Aid of a Mongret Cur.

Denver Tribune.
An amusing incident in the unwritten
history OF Abraham Lincoln lie told by
the Hon. Ward H. Lsmon, of this city
While the gentlemen we're law part.
ners in Illinois, and before Lincoln was
thought OF for President Of the United
States, they happened to visit an sgricul
tural fair in an inland town OF Tennes
zee.
Lincoln was in high spirits and seem,
ed bent on fun. While casting about FOL
such amusement IS the exhibition sffor
ded, Lincoln discovered an attraction il
the sbape OF turned-down -four barre
containing badger.
FIFTY dollars for the dog that vii
haul the badger out of the barrel,
shouted the red faced man who owned
the outfit. Fifty dollars, / say, to th,
dog that can haul out the badger"
There we're few takers of the badge
mans offer, but the luckless dog owner
who invested Is cents in the experimen
invariably lost in the speculation, for tn,
badgers teeth we're sharp, and every do,
that entered its stronghold came ou. il
jifiv, while the ferocious animal insid,
and grinned all over.
Mr.. Lincoln hit upon happy thought
Taking Ward to one side they found ,
lank couEtryman with still lankcr mas
tiff.
"Want 10 make $50 with that dog ?
asked Lincoln.
"Course I do" replied the hayseed
The dog was bartered for, and as LIN
coin approached the badger man, elbow.
ing his way through the crowd, ne said
"Pll invest quarter in your game
sir"
The badger operator looked at Lin
coins hungry dog and smiled as he took
the silver quarter.
Lincoln caught the dog and led it up
TO the barrel. Hastily grabbing the mas.
titf, be threw 1t into the opening 'totber
end 6rst. There vas a pause only OF q
second, and then followed lively scrape
inside the barrel.
"Hold on there" cried the manager
"Fair play"
But he was too late with his remon.
STRANGE. Out sprang the badly fright.
ened dog With the badger sticking to bis
hind quarters. The crowd parted and
away went the dog and badger into the
inter feld Of the race.track. The badg-
er stuck like brother, teams ran away,
women tainted. and the crowd roared -
Lincoln fairly went into spasms Of mirth,
the fun was so enjoyable.
The countrymsn owning the dog was
paralyxed, as was the badger-owner, VINO
set up great howl and Was mad enough
to fight.
"Prodace your s5O," said Lincoln to
the badger.keeper.
"Foul play, foul play" cried the cha.
grined gamester. "and I'll never pay it,"
Here is where Lamon came in service
able. Catching the badgers friend by
the neck, he cried:
"Give up the $50 or I'll wallup you"
Lsmon's berculean proportions we're
too argumentary 10 be tri6ed with, and
the money was handed. to Mr.. Lincoln,
who in turn gave it to the countrynan.
The dog was we'll paid for, and the
badger business closed up for want Of Q
