After serving in the legislature for
several terms with no great distinction
Lincoln moved to Springfield, and in
March, 1887, he was licensed to prac-
tice law. His name appears for the
first time as attorney for the plaintiff in
the case of Hawthorne versus Wool
ridge. He entered the Office and became
the partner of his comrade in the Black
Hawk war, John T. Stuart who had
gained rather an extensive practice,
and who, by the loan of sundry text
books several years before, had encour-
aged Lincoln to continue in the study
of law. Stuart had emigrated from
Kentucky in 1928, and on account of
his nativity, if for no other reason, had
great influence with the leading people
in Springfield. He used to relate that
on the next morning after his arrival
in Springfield he was standing in front
of the village store, leaning against a
post in the sidewalk and wondering how
to introduce himself to the community,
when he was approached by we'll
dressed old gentleman, who, interesting
himself in the newcomers welfare, in
CURED after his history and business.
I'm from Kentucky, answered Stuart,
land my profession is that of lawyer,
sir. What is the prospect here?" Throw
ing his head back and closing his left
eye, the old gentleman reflected mo-
ment. young man, id slim chance
for that kind of combination here, "
was the response.
Modest Law Office.
At the time of Lincoln's entry into
the Office Stuart was just recovering
from the effects of a congressional race
in which he had been the loser. He was
still deeply absorbed in politics and was
preparing for the next canvass. in which
he was finally successful, defeating the
willy and ambitious Stephen A. Doug
las. In consequence of the political al
lurements Stuart did not give to the
law his undivided time or the full force
of his energy and intellect. Thus more
or less responsibility in the management
of business and the conduct of cases
soon devolved on Lincoln. The entries
in the account books of the firm are all
in the handwriting of Lincoln. Most of
the declarations and pleas were written
by him also. This sort of exercise was

FROM PRISON TO AFFLueNce.
Michigan Man Has "a Fortune of SEES, 900
Awaiting Him.


ioNIA. July 1.-TWO years ago August
Dahner was sent to the Ionia prison for
two years for whipping man who re.
fused to pay him his wages. Dahner
served his time and was released. When
he stepped out of prison he was met at
the door by attorneys who informed him
that fortune OF $2.5,0O0 was his when
chose to claim it.
1t appears that Dahner's uncle was one
of the original forty-niners and struck
pay dirt in the Calico mining district of
San Bernardino county Cal, years ago
and had increased his wealth. When he
died about eighteen months ago he had
six living heirs, one of whom is Dahner.
Dahner will go back to his home and then
to California TO claim the fortune. When
he was sentenced TO states prison he had
the sympathy of the neighborhood. Dab

general opinion in Havana, ut least, is
that If the United States had not openly
expressed friendliness toward the Cubans
the revolution would not have obtained
its present proportions. IL the federal
authorities would only exert as much EN-
terpIise in preventing expeditions from
