PLAGUE OF MICE
LOWER HUTT VISITATION Lower Hutt would seem to be badly in need of a Pied Piper, states the Wellington Post. Like the famous town of Hamelin, it is over-run by rodents, only in this case it is not rats, but their less formidable relatives, mice. Whether the recent hot summer has anything to do with this plague of mice or not —and a lot of things seem to be laid at tho door of that summer —the fact remains that there are mice everywhere; in tho garden, in the house and m the traps. One hardware merchant told a reporter that during the last few weeks he has sold more mouse traps than he has ever sold before. That there has been an increase in hysterics among the female part of the population thero is no medical evidence available to prove.
