News comes from Kansas City of a
corner on onions. 1t seems it has
been brought about by wholesale
commission merchant. He contracted
for $4,000 barrels of fancy kiln-dried
stock" and stored them awaiting an
advance. Other wholesalers have
been compelled to pay $3.50 per bar
rel. The price before was $1.75 and
1925 per barrel. Orders have come
from eastern cities but they cannot
be filled. The dispatch says that ever
since last December, when this mer-
chant realized that there would be a
short crop in the principal onion
growing states, he has had his agents
buying up the product. The great
bulk of these were purchased in Ohio.
During several weeks of the hottest
season last summer he had control of
every watermelon sold in Kansas
City, outside of the homegrown prod
uct, and two years ago he tried to cor
ner the potato market. 1t is fair
question whether this sort of busi-
ness is not against public interests;

Quarantining the Orange Worm.

The discovery of the orange worm,
(Trypeta ludens) in fruit imported
from Morelos, Mex, has aroused the
fears of growers in southern Califor-
MIA, and active measures are being
taken to prevent the introduction of
this destructive pest. The county
horticultural commissioners and
quarantine guardians are keeping an
active watch, and stringent measures
are being taken to prevent the intro
duction of fruit from the infested dis
trict. The horticultural commission
ers of southern California want the
California system of inspecting
plants, trees, shrubs, fruit, etc., from
foreign points made general and bill
with this in view has been sent to
congress. The bill as drafted provides
that all such imports shall be admit
ted only at such ports of entry and
under such regulations as may be
provided by the secretary of agricul-
ture in concurrence with the secre-
tary of the treasury. Infested plants
or fruit may be shipped back or de-
stroyed as the inspector may deter
mine. Importers are required to noti-
fly the inspector of the arrival of stock
within twelve hours after it's receipt,
and the failure to do this, or an at
tempt to dispose of foreign grown
stock without a certificate of inspec-
ton, is made punishable by fine Or
imprisonment. The measure has the
Endorsement of the fruit growers of
California and of many of the leading
entomologists of the United States.
In a recent report from Mr.. Craw,
state quarantine guardian at San
Francisco, it is shown that over one
half the plants received at that city
from Australia, China, Japan, Central
America, and Sandwich islands and
other points were infested with insect
pests, the larger part of which were
new in the state. These were forbid
den entry and in most cases were de-
stroyed.-American Agriculturist.

'John," said Mrs. Croesus, thought
fully, everybody in society seems to
think an awful lot of genealogy these

Jennie what?" exclaimed John,

"Genealogy," repeated MES. Croesus.
Whats that?''
81 don't exactly know" replied Mrs.
Croesus, but think it's tree of some
kind. At least, heard some ladies
refer to it as a family tree"
well, what of it?' he asked.
"Why, it seems to be a sort of fad,
you know, and everyone who is anyone
has to have one"
BUY one, them" he said, irritably.
"Buy the best one in town and have
the bill sent to me; but don't bother
me with the details of the affair. Get
one, and stick lit up in the conservatory,
if you want one, and if it isn't too
large"
"But 1 don't know anything about
them"
Find out; and if it's too big for the
conservatory stick it up on the lawn,
and if that amt big enough I'll buy
the next plot of land in order to make
room. There can't any of them fly
any higher than we can, and, if it comes
to question of trees, I'll buy a whole
orchard for you"
Still she hesitated. O.
'"The fact is, john" she confessed at
last, Il don't know just where to go for
anything in that line. Where do they
keep family trees and all such things?''
What do you suppose L know about
it ?" he exclaimed. You're running

and 1 don't want to be bothered with
it. If the florist can't tell you anything
about it, hunt up a first-class nursery

The next morning after the sensation
at Mayor Roundtree's, WarrentOn called
on WILDLY
We'll" he began, cordially, as his
friend motioned him to seat in the
library and stepped back to close the
door, you've read about the shooting
at the mayors. That ought to make
you feel better: it is additional proof
that you are not the man."
WILDLY sat down by his friend and
crossed his hands over his knee.
"On the contrary, | am more mlser-
able to-day than ever"
'Why, what is the matter?"
Annette has just left me-"
''She has been here again? How very
imprudent! She ought not to have
come"
Poor little girl" sighed WILDLY
'She had heard about the shooting at
the mayors, and was so happy over it
that STE came right in, regardless of
consequences"
well, surely there is nothing in such
a beautiful proof of her love as that
to make you respondent. You ought
to have been glad to see her happy, you

covered blood-stain just where my
hand had been on the chair. l think it
escaped the notice of the detective"
IF it did, it is the first blood stain that
ever escaped him."
HE did not mention it,"
"He never mentions anything. He
has been discharged from more than
one case for looking like an idiot, but
that's part of his method. He knows
what he is doing"
There was a short silence then.
WILDLY and Warrenton could see that
the hypnotist was deeply engaged in
thought. Presently he said brusquely:
''I'll have to see you again tomorrow,
or next day, Mr.. WILDLY. 1 can do
nothing now. Will you come with me
to my hotel, colonel? 1 want to consult
YOU on point of law before we go any
further. I think it will be necessary,
Mr.. WILDLY, for you to get good
nights rest before we do anything.
Where do you sleep?'
Last night l began occupying my
old room just across the hail. replied
WILDLY. 81 was sleeping there when
the crime was committed, and I have
had an aversion to it ever since; but I
was glad to find that slept better there
last night than / had upstairs in an
other room"
"You naturally would, and you were
wise to move back. If you go to bed
with the idea that you are doing even a
slight thing for self-protection, the
thought will haunt you in your sleep.
1t is one of the psychic laws. Would
you mind showing ME the room?"
''Not at ALL" The three men rose and
went into Whidby's room.
(Which is the chair you spoke of, and
where was it placed that night?" asked
DR.. Lampkin.
WILDLY drew it from behind a screen
| in corner.
You ought not to have placed it
there" remarked the hypnotist. 'The
idea of its being pushed away out OF
sight will remain with your sub-con-
seriousness longer than you dream of
Such things belong to wonderful
science that all people ought to know
Where was the chair standing that
night, as near as You Gun remember"
Exactly there" And WILDLY placed
the chair within few feet of the bed
"Ah, yes" said the hypnotist. 81
see where you touched it that night
with your hand. Now, do as direct
you. Leave it exactly where it is, and
tonight when you go to bed place your
