A moment later distinct squeak was
heard outside of the little room in which

speaker hesitated. Another squeak in
terrupted her. Then came a scream
from girl in the rear of the hall. She
jumped upon chair and cried: "A
mouse-oh, Ola mouse!"
. Mice-dozens of them, girl said
afterward-were by this time scurrying
around the floor OF the room. The
screams increased The club women
got as far from the floor as possible, and
clutching their skirts, jumped from
chair to chair, raced through the door,
and down the stairway.
AS they emerged from the building a
score of youths faces were seen peeping
around the corner The owners of the
faces, aroused by the declaration of the
Spinsters' club that marriage is fall

in the hall. The meeting adjourned in

ANT KILLS BOIL WEEVIL.
Discovery, Of Great Importance to Cot
ton Growers, Announced by De-
partment of Agriculture.

The department of agriculture has
announced that an ant has been found
in Guatemala that is an effective enemy
of the boil weevil. It will be imme-
diately introduced into the cotton states
The greatest significance is attached to
the discovery, which was made by o. F.
Cook, the botanist in charge of the trop-
ical agricultural Investigations of the
bureau of plant industry. Cabled in
structions have been sent to him to
report Immediately to the department
what assistance he needs in the way Of
men and money.
Mr.. Cooks Investigations have been
in more or less accessible regions in
the province of Alta Vera Paz, Guate-
mala. The weevils are present there,
but the investigations show that they
are unquestionably kept in check by
the presence of an active enemy in the
shape of large reddish-brown ant
which Is attracted to the cotton by the
food which it secures from sets of floral
nectaries. Mr.. Cooks Investigations
show that these ants spread themselves
over fields of cotton four or five to n
plant, and that they are constantly en-
gagged in the destruction of the boil
weevils. Mr.. Cook reports that the
adroit and businesslike way in which the
weevil is disposed of seems to prove
beyond question that the ant is, by struc-
ture and by instinct, especially equipped
for the work of destruction.
