ward, but he soon saw that our plan
was good one; and whenever I would
go to him with a complaint against q
bad character the king would ask me
what 1 thought best to do. 1 would adj
wise the king to order the person exc
cuted, and the king would have the
man killed.
There are several iron clad rules
which members of my organization
must obey, and several tests to which
all belonging to the peace society are
subjected. This woman who tried to
kill me by taking poison from that dog
and placing it in my oatmeal learned of
these rules and tested me. She gave
the good character sign by draping
her jacket a certain way, so as to ex-
pose portion of the right shoulder 1
gave the answering sign and she
seemed displeased. The good character
sign is also a caution signal. I spoke
to her as | would in addressing a good
character, and then she gave me the
supreme test by arranging the drapery
so that both shoulders were exposed.
Then, before I could answer, she gave
the test of bad character by another
shifting of the drapery, and I knew she
was not in sympathy with my doctrine.
Because I would not approve of her
action she wanted to get me out of the
way"
Larson would not admit having
poisoned the dog. A search of his
rooms by Detectives Murray and Nc
Cam resulted in the discovery of a
piece of poisoned meat wrapped i'll

drawings and formulas for the cure Of
a variety of ailments. Also a list and
full description of a number Of posons.
He will be taken to the county hos

condition.
Larson is Dane and has travelled
extensively. He shows an interest in
labor conditions as they exist In Europe
by a revelation" he has written in a
scrapbook. This revelation" is an ac-
count of an accident which happened
to King Edward. 1t goes on to state
that the king, while asleep, was robbed
of his crown and royal robes, and q
plain plug hat and a common suit of
clothes substituted. The king aWoke

to the home of a peasant, and after
noticing the hardships the poor are
compelled to endure ceased worrying
about the loss Of his royal wardrobe
and changed his system of dealing with
his subjects. A number of parallels

candy and Christmas trees are inter-
Spersed in the story.

The Woes of 'NIrs. Ultimate Con.
sumner.

'No quantity Of oratory,"s says a
Washington dispatch, "can explain
away the conditions that face the
wife of the ultimate consumer 4
woman going to market on July l
this year had to pay 62 1-2 cents
more for given lot of commodities
than she was compelled to pay on
July 1. 1908. With the exception OF
July ], 1907, the prices now recorded
are the highest ever set down for any
corresponding date
The items about which the "ulti-
mate consumer is most concerned
are foOr, clothing and shelter The men
who make tariff bills have a cynical
contempt for the intelligence of the
public. II, one of them is quoted as
saying, good times prevail next fall
and everybody is at work and wages
keep up. twill not matter what kind
of tariff bill is passed. The people
have poor memories, it is said But.
1t may be suggested, the people have
been known to remember with telling
effect. When the McKinly act was
passed in 1890 and prices went soar
ing the people, two years later, elect
ed a Democratic president and con-
gress as reminder to the Republican
party that there is a limit to the tax
alton which the consumer will stand
without protest.
1t is possible that the wife of the
ultimate consumer will be an impor-
tant factor in the congressional eIec-
tion next year, and her resentment
may not be allayed when the presi.
Dental election comes around in
1912. She has no vote, but she has
influence. She holds the purse strings
OF the male ultimate consumer, and
as the purchasing power of her
household funds decreases she will
have a convicing agrument against
the policy and the party of excessive
protection. The man may be prone
to forget, but no thrifty woman is
likely to have lapse of memory
when she knows that the necessaries
of life cost a great deal more than
she used to pay for them, and that
her husbands wages do not begin TO
go as far as they used to in providing
food, shoes and clothing for the fam
lily.
Mrs. Ultimate Consumer" as she
is dubbed by facetious contempor-
ary, is not foe to be despised when
she takes to the warpath. The women.
1t is said, were a powerful factor In
bringing about the defeat OF the Re-
publican party in 1892. A senator
from Oklahoma has suggested re-
Gently that the result of the next cleo
ton may be determined at the coun-
ters of the retail stores of the country.
But the cynic who has not faith in
the tenacity of memory of the con-
sumner, asserts contemptuously that if
there is close brush for the base
ball championship a lot Of people will
forget there ever has been an extra
session Of congress for the revision
OF the tariff" If>prices continue to
soar, 1T is safe prediction that Mrs.
Ultimate Consumer" will not be
