Reolalmlna Lost ParadIse.

Efforts are being made to reclaim
and plant parts of the vast tract of
land which stretches for several miles
around Rome and goes by the name
of the Campagna Romano. II has
been allowed to remain idle and I'M
cultivated ever since the fall of the
Roman empire. Before that time 1t
was sort of terrestrial paradise.
When Rome, however, was obliged
TO resign her position as the mistress
of the world" the campagna was aban-
doned and gradually became marshy,
malaria-infected desert, inhabited only
by a few hardy shepherds.
Prince Aldobrandihi has engaged a
company to reclaim a huge estate of
several thousands of acres which he
owns in the campagna.
So happy have the results at the ex-
detrimental station been that 1t Is
hoped that -oor work may be begun
for the to- J ryelalming of the whole
of the campagna.

THE toad kicked the boy and kept
pulling him about by the ear.

Toad, swallowing hard and making the

the toad let go of the boys ear and
stopped kicking him.
"'Listen,' he said, as he began to
grow smaller and smaller, and finally
once more looked like a real toad,
tiny thing hopping about, I was given
the power to grow big when creatures

glad to tell you
"He shook his head when the boy

You see the girl was very brave in
defending you. The girl felt much
pleased at Thu tor she had cried one
time on hard .enture.
"'Our Giant is a splendid soul. He
is big and powerful and strong and
magnificent, but he never takes adj
vantage of any one. He walks with
great care to avoid stepping on the

said; Toad you're an ugly little piece.

"'"So I'm going to give you spe-
cial power. If any one hurts you or
kicks you or throws stones at you, Pm

back three times against the ground

you can grow and grow until you're

""The Giant went all over the coun-

Troy Manufacturers Reduce Prices

Troy, Aug. 25.--Tsese are tense
DAYS among the collar manufacturers
particularly the big concerns in this

Before the price war started collars

dozen. In conjunction with the slash
ing of wholesale prices there have al.
so been announcements Of reductions
in wages.
The action of Corliss, Coon and

their collars to S1.45 dozen came
as a surprise to those inside and
outside the industry. In an explana-
tion of the action, the company is
