CHARLES A. PILLSBURY.
| The Minneapolis Miller Dies Very Unex-
| pectedly--Death Thought to Have
Been Caused by Overwork.

Minneapolis, Sept. 1S.-Charles A.
Pillsbury, the well known miller and
business man, died at his home in this
city at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Charles Alfred Pillsbury was born in
Warner, N. H., Oct. 3, 1912. Until -
years of age he attended school there,
his father at that time removing to
Concord, where the son attended school
and graduated at the age 16. A year
later he entered Dartmouth college,
and after graduating went to Mon
treal, where for six years he was en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits, most of
the time as clerk. Sept. IL, 1866, he
married Miss Mary A. Stinson, of
Goffstown, N. H., who was daughter
of Captain Charles Stinson.
Three years later he came to Mime
and soon afterwards bought an inter
est in flour mill at st. Anthony Falls.
At that time there were four or five
mills in Minneapolis, but they were of
the old fashioned sort. He applied
himself diligently to learn the details
of the business; always alert to adopt
new methods and resolved to make the
best possible product. He saw the
modest venture develop into the larg-
milling industry in the world having
a capacity of $4,000 barrels daily.
Mr.. Pillsbury remained in the con-
duct of his vast milling business until
1890, when the mills and good will
were sold to an English syndicate,
which acquired, besides, the Washburn
milling property and the water power
of the Falls of st. Anthony.

The Consumer Pays the Tax.

A law will come into effect in New York
state on December | next imposing tax
OF $25 pei annum on every manufacturer
of flour and feed and all dealers in such
products. This, like many similar taxa
tiOn laws, springs from the belief that the
ability of people to bear taxation is in
creased by increasing the number of the
taxes levied. This impost on -four dealers
is expected to yield 800, 900 u year, and
the amount is regarded in some quarters
as an addition to the revenue that does
not materially Increase the burden of tax
alton. In reality the 100000 must be
contributed by the consumers of wheat,
who will be called upon to make good the
tax paid by the millers and dealers. A
multitude of taxation does not lessen the
burdens of the people, though often tend
ing to conceal the amount actually CON
tributed. A proposal to abolish line of
taxation is generally met by statistics as
to the loss of revenue that would ensue
There is no loss' in the abolition of
tax. The money formerly taken from
people is simply left with them. It may
be taken from them afterward by some
other means of taxation. The principle
that should guide in determining subje
for taxation is the encouragement rather
than the encouragement of industry and
tr rade. Toronto OnlOOkor

A "PraCtiCal" Joke.

well. When ho had dug about twenty
five feet down he came one morning and
found it caved in-flled nearly to the top
Pat looked cautiously around and saw
that no one was near, then took off his
hat and coat and hung them on the wind
lass, crawled into some bushes and waited
events. In short time the citizens dis
covered that the well had caved in, and
seeing Pats s hat and coat on the windlass,
they supposed he was Mt the bottom of the
excavation. Only n few hours Of brisk
digging cleared tho loose earth from the
well. Just as eager citizens had reached the
bottom and were wondering where the
body was, Pat came walking out of the
bushes and good naturedly thanked them
for relieving him of a sorry job. Some of
the tired diggers were disgusted, but the
joke was too good to allow anything
more than hearty laugh, which soon fol
