PilIsbury Clears $4,000, 900.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 23.-Charles A.
Pillsbury, who is reported to have made
$2,O0O,000 in wheat this year, has resigned
the management of the English syndicate
mills Mr.. Pilsbury declined to discuss his
private fortune or how he made it, but
admitted with laugh that he had done
fairly we'll the last eight or nine months.
Referring to the Pillsbury- Washburn syndi-
cate mills which are controlled by d syndi-
cate of Englshmen, Mr.. Pillsbury said he
had for many years been managing director.
Recently he had concluded that the work
of the position was too confning and too
cxacting. He had, therefore, resigned the
position of managing director to Henry Lit
tie, who had been connected with the COM
pany many years before it was transferred
to British interests.
In grain circles it is stated that Mr. Pills
bury has made a great deal of money the
last summer and fall in wheat. He foresaw
that there would be big shortage of wheat
in the Northwest early in August and
when a little later it was rendered certain
that fully 60 per cent of the wheat of this
section was below contract grade he bought
very heavily. He bought wheat all the way
from 60 cents to rs cents and sold it from
50 cents to $1.O2. Mr.. Pillsbury feels we'll
enough over his recent work to retire from
active business,

For Lady Rid CTS.

Now that the evenings are growing cold, and the mornings treacherous. the lady cyclist should remember that the best way of avoiding chils without in- curing fatigue from too heavy clothing is to look we'll after the vulnerable points, and otherwise dress with req sonsble lightness When cycling in a coat which leaves V shaped opening at the throat-and most coats do-a sm III piece of warm funnel should be worn inside nexs the cEest, to prevent the striking in of cold winds on an i'll protected and delicate spot. Thin wash ing shirts should nt be worn without a jacket, unless there is sleeved vest underneath, for the backs of the arms are almost the first spots to feel chill. Thin summer stockings should be left off now, and cashmere substituted, the wrists and ankles being especially sus- ceptible to cold. The former can, of course. be kept warm by long wristed gloves. If these precautions are taken heavy jackets and thick shirts are quite unnecessary, even on raw evenings, such as we may expect from this date on- wards.

It is an expressed opinion of one of our business men that Canaan does pretty we'll for town that has no very wealthy people in it to make large do- nations to public enterprises. We think most of us share the opinion. Canaan has to '.hoe it's own row" and it enjoys none of the gifts of thousands of dollars which it's sister towns have been fortunate enough to secure. and still we are up to the times. Subtract the sub- stantial help that the Battells and FL dridges have given Norfolk. that the Scovilles and Hotchkisses have given Salisbury, that Searles and other millionaires have given Great Barring ton. and we doubt if they would make any better showing than North Canaan. Falls Village is even more fortunate than we in being the recipient of the Hunt School and Library. Give us a millionaire with m inclination to spend money on us and we will show you the ''swellest" little town in these parts. Aside from the library building we can't mention thing that has been given to us.
 We cen gather the consolation from this state of affairs that we are not un der obligations to the .srich folks.

The Old Dance.

A writer to the Pittsfeld Gail on the subject of dancing for the coming sea son, makes the following comment:
 As for the dances themselves, there will be plenty of new figures, but dc you know that there is actually move. ment to revive the old ones. Youth, to- day, does not dance the old "co atras' as they used to dance them just so many steps down the centre, just so many steps to the side before you take yon1 partners hand. Did you ever see an old-fashioned beau take his lady's hand and lead her down the centre in "Lsdy of the Lake?" I have one iu mind, a misty vision of my youth beset with the strident wailing of the cstgut from one lone figure on high chair belaboring the string. This straight-backed old gentleman in blue swallow tail led Aunt Sybil out finger-tip aud, as they passed down the lines, his feet twinkled in and out, tips of his toes to the floor, now back and forth swift as the shuttle flies and embroidering dance themes with every step. We thought no other treat equal to thisl For him to lead this gentle dame out was the grace be- fore meat, the boquet to the vintage of the dance. They don't dance that way now. It is lost art Instead, we higgledy- -piggledy in two-steps and do ridiculous things known as "dips" and ''glides. ."-Prosperity balls are the con- ing form of dance for this season. They are in distinct comparison to poverty balls and are supposed to require new gowns. For this they will be phen ome- nally popular with the ladies and dis tinctly out of favor with the married men,
