Albert Tremp lives at i64 Har- winton avenue, Torrington. Conn. but comes to the X-Rsy Doctors to be cured. He says:
 some months ago. had severe pains settle in my back right near the kidneys. These pains were so bad could hardly do my work.
 'I went to the x-Ray Doctors for their x-Ray magnetic treatments. and in one weeks time the pain is gone. Now. it does not hurt me to stoop over at my work. or in lifting.
 T am surprised that the Radio Chemic Physicians helped me out oi my trouble so quickly. tSignedb

TROUSERS UNDER THE BAN.
Less Than Century Ago They Were
Considered irrelieious.

II will assuredly seem more than
strange that within the past hundred
years the wearing Of trousers has
been regarded as irreligious. The fact
that In October, 1872, an order was
made by st. Johns and Trinity 'col-
leges that every young man who APP
peared In hall or chapel in pantaloons
or trousers should be considered as
absent Is startling enough; but II
would appear that eight years later
the founders OF a Bethel chapel al
Sheffield inserted a clause in the
trust deed ordaining that under no
circumstances whatever shall any
preacher be allowed 10 occupy the
pulpit who wears trousers" This Is
striking, but it Is even more impress
slve to find that Rev. Hugh Bourne,
one of the two founders OF the PRINT
tive Methodist Connection, said OF his
confounder, That trousers wearing,
beer drinking Cloves will never get
to heaven" And It would need stu
dent OF "the Brooches Bible" to say
precisely when this assumed con-
nection between theology and trousers
began and where the departure from
1t will end.-Notes and Queries.

Riohts Of Employees Laid Down.

Trainers of the earliest laws which
have come down to us gave particular
attention TO the question of the rights
of employees" writes an observer
Those wonderful statutes which the
great Babylonian king, Hammurabi.
codiiled over 40 centuries ago have
law upon law devoted to the rights OF
servants. If the servants We're free
born then their rate of payment was
fixed for them. their scale of compen-
sation established in the event of
their suffering loss or injury. For the
most part. of course. the servants OF
that age were slaves. For these, too,
provision was made. If a doctor in.
jured a servant in a surgical operation
he had TO pay half the price which
that slave cost; If death resulted the
master received slave for slave. II the
patient were cured, then his master
had to pay the Doctors tee-two
shekels of silver

Will pgLYE IN The PAST.
Long.surled Cities Of Italy Are to Be
Exhumed.

All the world will join in applaudng
the resolution of Italy to disinter what
treasures may yet remain under the
debris Of the age-long forgotten cities
of Ostia and Paestum. Both cities
were unkindly dealt with by Provi-
dence. The glory of Ostia, chief port
OF ancient Rome, receiving the corn
and oil of Sicily, Sardinia and Africa,
was slowly but surely betrayed by
Father Tiber and flung contemptuous-
ly out OF reach OF the shallowest ships.
Time, curiously enough, has, however,
failed to rob her Of her industry which
first made her famous, and salt Is
still produced in small quantities from
the little village of one hundred inhab-
itants that has stolen the old city's
name and pays the ruins homage from
the modest distance Of two miles
Paestum Is more Greek than Roman.
and one may anticipate that II an
other temple of Neptune or temple Of
Ceres lies beneath the heaped-up dust
OF the centuries 1t will be Athens and
not Rome that will be raised from
the dead. Paestum's fate Is sadder
than that of Ostia, for the Greek col
ony on Roman soil was early smftten
by malaria and an evil reputation
caused her to be buried In deeper
oblivion than the wave washed col.

THE unusual occurrence in our fin

The New Scribner Serial and Other
Fiction

Scribner's Magazine offers an ex-
ceptionally interesting programme for
l90S-its twenty-second year. 1t will
be especially strong in its fiction with
John Fox, Jr.s highly romantic and
picturesque novel, The Trail of the
Lonesome Pine" for its long story, and
shorter serials by two of the most
widely read and popular story tellers of
our time, James b. Connolly and Rich
ard Harding Davis. Mr.. Fox knows
the people of the Kentucky mountains
as few do, and he writes of their likes,
their feuds, their fierce passions, 10y
atty to their friends, and primitive
simplicity with sympathy and under
standing that will win the readers in.
terest at once. June, the wild little
mountain girl that John Hale meets on
his lonely way up the trail of the Lone
some Pine in the first chapter, is one
of the authors most appealing crea-
tons. The love story that runs
through the novel is one of rare charm,
beautiful in its idealism and in its
bearing on the lives of those concerned.
1t has become more or less of CON-
monplace to refer to the human in
terest' of story, for this is, of course,
an assumed quality with all writing
worth reading. In Mr.. Fox's case
there is always certain fine tender
ness and sympathy, an understanding
of all sorts of people-their dreams,
aspirations, disappointments-th con-
vince us of his possession of the dual
gift of humor and pathos, without
which, in either fiction or reality, the
pageant of life is but dull spectacle

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-09-21

In his efforts to help reimburse the
depositors of the defunct Oregon
Trust and Savings bank, which re-
Gently failed in Portland, Walter H.
Moore, president of the bank, with
his wife, Mrs. Laura Moore, trans
ferred to the receiver of the bank.
Thomas Devlin, 1896 acres of rich
farming lands in Multnomah, Morrow
and Sherman counties, in Oregon,
and in Franklin county, Washington,
valued at s250,000.
The deed to the receiver is made
absolute and there are no provisions
attached, 1t being the wish of Mr..
Moore that the property be used to
the best advantage in repaying the
extraordinary losses sustained by the
depositors of the bank.
While this act on part Of Moore is
commendable, yet It is the common
sentiment that 1t deserves no special
commendation, as the president Of
the bank and all its other officers
are in duty bound to make good every
cent of the loss to depositors. This
sum will fall far short of every GERS
of repaying the losses which will
reach to more than s1,000,000.
