In Need of Many Buttons

T am in great need of many buttons. Will some of the Cornerites play bean bag with me, with buttons in the bag instead of beans, and let me keep what are tossed my way? In olden times we used button bags. They may not be in fashion now, yet I trust they are; that people do not toss away all buttons they 60 not use. Buttons that are not used are quite as desirable as new ones. I will pay the postage, of course. It is per fectly wonderful how much this dear Corner does MRS. G. W.
 If the dear Corner may be bit puzzled and a good deal curious to know what possible use you have for buttons of all sizes, patterns and ages, it re- presses curiosity in the desire to gratify the writer of the above lively note. Over haul button bags and boxes and clear

Reports.

Rev. T. H. Dahl, who has been
president of the United Norwegian
Lutheran church of America for the
past II years, and who is in Nor
way at present as official represen-
tative of this church in connection
with the centennial celebration of
Norway's independence, was re-
elected for term of three years,
at the annual national convention
in the st. Paul auditorium Thurs
day afternoon.
The convention also elected the
following officers for term of one
year each: Vice president, DR.. J. N.
Kildahl; secretary, Rev. ]. c.. Rose
land, and treasurer, Erik Waldo
land.
The secretary was instructed to
send a cablegram to DR.. Dahl in
Christiania, Norway, instructing
him to convey the greetings of the
convention to the Lutheran state
church of Norway and informing
him of his reelection.
The annual report of DR.. Dahl
was written previous to his depar-
ture for Norway, and was read to
the convention by Vice President
Kildahl. 1t contained information
concerning the growth of this
church body during the last II
years.
During this time 314 new pastors
have been received. OF these 81
were from other church bodies, SO
applicants were not acted upon ia
vorably, 500 congregations have
been admitted, 400 new churches
dedicated. Twelve years ago there

She Manicured His Nails.
C. J. WEISER.

AS the story goes, there was a
lady manicurist in Waverly a few
weeks ago. One of the young men
of this city became thoroughly con-
vinced that his nails should be man
toured every day at least, and it has
been limited that he even had the
operation performed twice or three
times a day. After cleaning up the
finger nails of all the easy ones in
town, the young lady went to AL
bert Lea. A number of the friends
of the local young man had noticed
his weakness for the manicure art,
SO they got a male CD friend to
telephone him, asking him to come
to Albert Lea. In fact, the suppos-
ed lady said if he didn't have money
enough she would send it, The
young man spent Sunday and Mon
day at Albert Lea. Whether or not
he found his manicure artist is not
known by his local friends and the
perpetrators of the joke. It's easy to
tell who the young man is as his
finger nails are, as yet, faultlessly
clean Waverly Independent.

1t is pathetic to see a little family
on farm at the foot of mountain

the sun can be seen for only short

two to four crops year. They de-

have telephones which makes it
easier. This convenience costs $40
per year and you can talk to nearly
every house in the country.
Speaking of telephones, the Nor

build them. The poles are first
treated so they will not rot and are
then set in stone or cement, and
capped with metal as a further
protection.

HAD TAKEN HER BROTHERS, PLACE

Miss Laura Church.. 10 years old,
daughter of farmer John Church, of
Fishing Greek, was the victim of q
peculiar runaway accident on Wednes-
day. The little girl was seated on the
front of her fathers wagon when,
without a word of warning, she was
pitched from the seat under the hoofs
of the horse and lay semi-conscious
in the gutter. The accident occurred
in the morning and was caused by one
of Bright's express teams taking fright
while standing on Pacific avenue.
The horses became panic-stricken and
raced down Pacific avenue from
Youngs venue to Baker avenue where
the farmers wagon was standing.
The front wheels of the express wagon
got caught in the rear wheels of the
tight wagon in some manner and the
horses were forced to halt. The force
of the blow knocked the girl to the
ground. DIR. Kelchner was summoned
and his ambulance removed the child
to the hospital where it was found she
was suffering from a broken collar
bone and bruises of the shoulder and
right arm. Eye witnesses of the acci-
dent state that only a miracle saved
the life of the child. The huckster's
vehicle was struck with such force
that the girl was instantly thrown
and the wagon was pulled up over the
farmers horse which was tied to a
pole. The little girl was the bravest
and most generous person that has
been treated at the hospital for some
time. Although suffering with in
tense pain, she told DIR. Kelchner the
following pathetic statement: "Doctor,
my brother James generally comes to
Wildwood with papa, but I came to-
day. l am glad that [ came because
brother would have been hurt and he
IS more Of 4 telpto papa than ! ana.
Miss Church, after spending a few
hours at the hospital in order to suf-
ficiently recover from her shock, left
with her father for home.
