for social duties was soon recognized,
and her receptions were always exceed
ingly popular.
She spent her mornings usually with
her husband, acting as his confidential
clerk, they often advising and consult
ing together, for she understood politics
his political attitude, and thoroughly
sympathized with him.
Many women have enjoyed a fleeing
popularity when standing beside gifted
husband, and been honored as his wife,
afterward sinking into obscurity. Mrs.
Logan has the strong personality and in
dividuality that will enable her to stand
alone, as prominently as she stood be-
side the one she honored and revered.
The history Of the past year proves that
conclusively.
In religion Mrs. Logan is Methodist
and a member of the Metropolitan
church. She has a deep religious feel
ing, but she does not 60 about talking
"cant" for effect. As yet Mrs. Logan
has not identified herself with any Of
the reforms specially advocated by wo.
men, not from want Of interest, but fol
want Of time. Her life is now full o.
occupation and planning, for the CLONE
Magazine" Of which she is editor, is one
Of the pleasantest Of them all. Many
brave heart will echo our "God bless
her," and long may she live (since she
is in the height Of her prince, to shine
in her orbit, and to inspire other women
wives of public men, to faithfully tulf
the duty which lies nearest, which hat
always been the aim Of Mrs. John A.
Logan, and is probably one of the Sc
crets Of her power.-Daughters of Am
erica.

Mary Cunningham Logan was born In
1888, in the State Of Missouri. The
family removed early in her life to Illinois.
Her father was captain in the Mexican
war; John A. Logan was in the same
regiment, and he and Captain Cunning
ham became fast friends, bond that con-
tinued after their return. Mrs. Logan
was the oldest of thirteen children, and
the family being 80 large and in moderate
circumstances, Mary Cunnin CHAM, like
dutiful daughter, on reaching woman
hood and having graduated, acted as her
fathers clerk when he was Land Register
by appointment of President Pierce, at
Shawnee town, Ill. 1t was at this time
that John A. Logan and Mary Cunning
ham met as man and woman, he being
seventeen years her senior, and Proseccut-
ing Attorney in the county town OF Ben
ton, Illinois.
Nature had evidently destined these
two for each other, and being mutually
attracted they soon joined hands (hearts
were already joined) and the result proved
happy thing for both Of them for never
was fonder, truer wife than Mary Cum
ningham Logan, or more truthful and
devoted husband than John A. Logan,
whose heart implicitly "trusted in her,
and continual steadfast until the last Of
the three memorable Fates separated
them. That she exerted strong
sympathetic and helpful influence in the
life Of this great man, all the world CON
cedes. She trod the paths of obscurity
and comparative poverty with him cheer
fully, and stimulated his best powers. FOL
she was not without an honorable am
bition in him, and for him. So they
lived and labored, hand in hand, heart
to heart, until the war of the rebellion
broke out, when even then, she did not
hold him back, but gave him up freely
to the service Of his country.
When tbs war was over and General
Logan was reelected to Congress and
later to the United States Senate, and
thew thus became residents of Wash.
