I'VE got a M. d. and he said twas
appendicitis, and his only chance was
an operation.
There's a little hospital about five
miles from there, but Shorty's sister
in-laws mother had voted against the
matron, so we couldn't get him in there.
There wasn't another hospital within
thirty miles, and the steam road was
blocked, so we couldn't get him in
over that, or a surgeon out.
BOSS didn't know what to do. Shorty
was good man, and we liked him.
Il thought minute, then says: Say.
I'll take Shorty to the hospital

he said. Our lines the only one open,

Future World Language

What will be the world language of the
future?
That it will be English is the predictiou
of many scholarly observers. The proha-
bilities are that it viii partake of the best
features of all modern tongues
1t is safe proposition to assume that
the race which dominates the commerce
of the world will impress its language
upon the world.
The English speaking people are today
the leaders in world activity.
AS a result the English language ia
spoken by more people today than is any
other civilized tongue.
The recent action of Germany in giving
the English language preference above all
other foreign tongues is formal recognition
of the fact that not the mere arbitrary ex-
preston of a choice.
The strong point is made. however. that
America more than England is responsible
for the change.
Two-t thirds of the people who speak
English live On this side of the Atlantic,
and their Industrial and comm ercial con-
quests are making the tongue familiar in
every quarter of the habitable globe.
French Is still regarded as the d.plI2S- pIS
matte and polite language of the wofid:
but English, as expanded and reJuyenated
by American transplantation, is becoming
the universal business tongue.
The world language of the future. there
FORE is that which America will speak
and teach-New York World.

five years later by John Nicols and
William B. Dean. Additions have been
made to the partnership from time to
time, the newer members being Messrs.

was known as NicoIs & Dean, at that
time the firm style being changed to
Nicols, Dean & Gregg.
The lines of the firm embrace all the
branches of the heavy hardware bust
ness, their stock being the largest of
that line in the Northwest. Their Gus
toners are to be found in all of the
Northwestern states, from Wisconsin
and Michigan, on the East, to the Pa

Two mills, one In Arkansas and the
other in st. Anthony Park, are OPP

THE CRESCENT CREAMERY COM.
PANY

This is the age of inventions, progress
and improvements in all lines of man
ufacturlng enterprises, and the St.
Paul plant of the Crescent Creamery
company at Third and Cedar streets is
most forceful illustration Of the im-
provements possible In butter and
cheese making during the past decade.
From the top floor of the big four
story building to the storage tanks
and refrigerators in the basement,
nothing but the most modern Of ma
chineFy and appliances is in use, and
the result has been that Crescent prod
ucts are the equal, If, indeed, not the
superior, of any similar products on
the market.
The Crescent Creamery company
first commenced business twenty EIGHT
years ago, and through its uniform
policy of justice and fair treatment to
cream shippers and produce buyers,
has established a reputation through
out the country Of the very best
The company maintains some forty
off-skimming stations over the North
west, whittier farmers may take their
milk. have the cream separated from
1T, and receive the highest market price.
for the cream, saving themselves the
labor of separation The cream is then
shipped in large, clean covered cans to-
the main plant of the company In St.
Paul.
Arrived here the cans are emptied
into huge pasteur1zers, from whence it
is run through a system of cooling
pipes and over q refrigerating sys-S
tenn. which reduces its temperature
greatly. 1t is then run into the ripen-s
Ing tanks for storage until fit for use.
The churning- capacity of the COM
pany is enormous. There are a num-
Der of churns, each one of which is
capable of turning out 1000 to 1900
pounds at each churning.
The packing department of the plant
is in itself a little industry. Dozens of
men and girls, all scrupulously neat and
clean, are employed In placing the
fresh sweet butter in the different
forms of packages in which 1t is mar
keted. Jars Of various sizes, f1rkins,
tubs and small individual one and two
pound packages, all grow to a reality
under the experienced and deft fingers
Of the butter packers. The small pack
ages, wrapped in parchment paper,
bear the Crescent, trade mark Of the
When it is understood that the prod
ucts of the company are sold in near
ly every state in the Union, that large
shipments are constantly being made
to New York, and that the soldiers
of the army and sailors of the navy
use these brands of butter, 1t is more
easily understood where the immense
capacity Of the plant, something over
10000 pounds per day, is placed.
In addition to the butter output, the
creamery has the best Of facilities for
making and marketing very superior
brand of ice cream and several brands
of cheese.
Take it all in all, the plant and
accessories of the Crescent Cream
cry company are all that those OF
modern up-to-date creamery Of the
twentieth century distinctly the
creamery age") should be, and st.
Paul is fortunate in being the home of
SO important an industry.

Wonderful things are done for the
