The approaching spring and summer
season will have in it fewer big re
ligious gatherings than for several
years. There are no unusual confer
ences or congresses either in America.
to which English and foreign delegates
will come, or abroad to be attended by
people from this side. If some mis-
sionary meetings planned by Episco-
palians, and to be held next Advent
be excepted. there is hardly anything
that is not routine, and in the routine
conventions and conferences there is
hardly a question of supreme import
ancc to be considered OF, the five
large bodies of young people, only
three hold conventions this year, and
none of the three is the large body
capable of bringing people together by
the thousands. The Baptist Young
Peoples Union meets in Providence
July 1913, the Brotherhood of st. An
drew in Boston November 1913, and
the Luther League in st. Paul and
Minneapolis in the fall, the exact date
not yet decided. There is to be a Con-
gregational convention in Seattle in
July but apart from this there is
nothing of a special character Even
the Bible conferences, such as the
Winona and Northfeld, will be rou-
tine, and the Chautauquas will not diff
fer from former years.

LIFE IN BUSY CITY o. BUTTE

Into an ounce Of brandy put
email dose of cocaine; drink the mix
ture. and in ten minutes you will find
condition which is the normal state Of
the citizen of Butte, says a writer in
Boston paper.
Butte never sleeps. 1t is as wide
awake at in the morning as at mid
day, every shop open, every industry
in full blast. The life of the town de
pends upon the mines and the smelter
and these never stop. Day in and day
out, the year round. they work con
tinuously. with three eight-hours
shifts" of men. one stepping in as Its
predecessor steps out; from years end
to years end neither industry ever
drops a stitch. The shift that comes
off duty at midnight must eat, drink,
and be served with its amusemeuts
like the others. So it happens that
every door in town, of boarding house,
shop, saloon. theater and all the rest
stands always ajar. So far as busi-
ness is concerned. there is literally no
day, no night One hour is like all
the rest; every hour is an hour of
hustle. To the stranger it appears
like delirium to the man Of Butte it
is a matter of course.
The result is easily foretold: Quick
exhaustion and early death. The man
of Butte is an octogenarian at 40, Il
senile ruin at So. No one lives to be
old, in the accepted eastern use of the
word; you will never see that white
and venerable and useful old age
which has so firm place in our life,
our poetry. our very religion. Over
strung nerves snap; brains crumble
hearts yield to their load.

V Il tion of our country where
English civilization in this
western hemisphere was first
planted. This is the memorial upon
which it is hoped favorable action will
be taken:
Whereas, the first permanent Eng
lish settlement within the boundaries
of the present United States of Amer
lea was made on the peninsula of
jamestown. on the James river. in the
state of Virginia, on the 18th day OF
May, 1907; and
Whereas, the said jamestown was
the scene of important operations dur
ing the revolutionary and civil wars,
Of which latter conspicuous fortihca-
tions remain; and
Whereas, the complete obliteration
of this historic site is threatened by
the elements, which have already con
verted the peninsula into an island
and have worn away so much of the
shores that many of the foundations Of
the original settlement are now buried
beneath the encroaching river; and,
Whereas, in the year 1907 the peo-
pie of the United States, under the
leadership of the people of Virginia,
will celebrate with becoming ceremon-
les the tercentenary of the settlement
of this country by the English; there
fore, be 1t
Resolved. That the American
Scenic and Historic Preservation So
ciety hereby requests the Congress OF
the United States, as an evidence of
respect for the traditions of the na-
ton, to authorize the purchase of
Jamestown island for a national park,
in order that it may be preserved from
destruction and thrown open to the
people as memorial of the birthplace
of American civilization and the plant
ing of the colonies from which sprang
the United States of America"
jamestown. or. more properly, the
once thriving settlement of that name,
was on the James river, about so miles
from its mouth. Originally on a pen
insula the current of the river has
gardually worn its way through the
sandy soil, until the peninsula is now
an island. some three miles long, but
whose boundaries are narrowing year
| by year by the activity of the rush
ing river.
Older residents point far out in the
river to the roots of trees which once
cast their shade on the island. An
old powder magazine one of the land
marks of jamestown for many years
now lies beneath the river, and year
after year have the ruins of James
towns houses vanished beneath the
| tide.
The early history of jamestown is
shrouded in mystery, and the imagina-
tion must picture many details of this
first English settlement within the
borders of the United States.
The early colonists arrived in three
vessels, and anchored at point called
! by the Indians the Powhattan river.
The settlement was called jamestown,
/ in honor of their ruler. 1t must have
been a thriving town, for old records
tell of a church and state house; the
Governors house and gardens, a brick
mill and a block house and many pre-
tentious houses of brick
Although the first settlement, on
May 13, 1907 was at the western end
of the island. traces of a general oc-
cupation have been discovered scat

An important ruling made by court

This ruling was made in the case OF
W. r. Highfall against the Missouri
Pacific Railway company. Highfall
was a passenger on train, and
claimed to have had his hip dislocated
by blow of a swinging car door. His
case was tried in the Circuit court of
the county, and jury gave him $500
damages. This verdict the Court CT
Appeals reversed and remanded the
case for a new trial because when Or.
Wood was put on the stand in the trial
of the case, and was asked what he
found to be the matter with Mr. High
fall, the lawyers for the latter objected
to the question, and the court sus-
tained the objection, holding that a
physician cannot be forced to reveal
the secrets of the sickroom. But the
Court of Appeals holds that when a
witness seeks to fortify his case by tes-
tifying that a doctor found him in
