MISSION COTTAGE OF AUGusTAN
How the Poor Are Helped at the
Mission Cottage of Augustana
Church-Plans Being Made for
a New Building.

. One of the quiet but admirable chart
table agencies of the city that works
on approved scientific methods is the
Mission cottage Of Augustana church.
Rev, G. J. Petri, pastor of the church,
is the head of, the institution, and his
active helpers are two ,deaconesses, Sis
ter Cecilia Nelson and Sister Carolina
Frank. The present pleasant cottage,
at 100 Eighth street S, has become
inadequate for the demands and plans
are being discussed and a fund started
for new building.
A committee of women from the
church aids the work Of the cottage,
meeting monthly to discuss its needs
and to devise means to provide for it's
support. A bazar held this year by

You are a liar" interposed
promptly, unwilling to believe this to
be the truth. He had not known the
signal of the scabbard! The sarcopha-
gus could not be opened-once the King
closed it-save from within. Dulcine
would have answered no summons but
that agreed upon, though she paid the
penalty with her life. Yet the man,
ignoring my interjection, went on un-
disturbed.
Now, sir, the King of Quelparte

the Queens body was utterly destroyed

of what had done, but believed more

stupendous deception. He had not re-
