Il think it probable" said an expe-
rienced soldier at Fort Smelling. that
not a few boys of the Thirteenth Min
nesota would enlist in the forty-fifth
after their return home. This being a
soldier is much like being married
man. You don't find it just what you
expected. and you sometimes swear
that if you ever escape they'll never
get you into it again. But a discharged
soldier is no more proof against the en-
listing officer than a widower is proof
against women. In both cases the man
feels lonely when he's on the outside. !:

EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE.

Thirteen years after 100 Englishmen

coast of Cape Cod in the dead of win

were Charles 1 and Cromwell nd the
two great parties of churchmen and
puritans-cavaliers and roundheads, as
they called each other. The 400 miles
of coast between the two settlements
may stand fer the difference between
them in several particulars
With respect TO what may be called
their literature, there is no greater Gi-
Versity than in their religious, political
and social principles and customs. Both
used, and helped to preserve, the Eng
lish speech of their time, but each had
its own way OF looking at things tenn
poral and spiritual. and each had q
landscape of it's own TO contemplate
and a climate of its own to enjoy o.
contend with. These and other causes
made the thoughts of the New England
colonists differ from those of the Vir-
ginia planters. For example while
southern immigrants came here for
gain or adventure. having no quarrel
with church or state at home the
northern contingent left England in Or
der to secure for themselves Il larger
liberty in religious matters. This lib
erty. however. was to be enjoyed by
themselves exclusively and by those
who should be of their way of thinking.
Such purposes produced marked char
acteristics in their writings-first. i
pietistic element: later. a polemic, and,
finally. a pugilistic.

In all this journal, which is continued
for thirteen months, there is the same
plain and unaffected simplicity of mar
ration where heroic doing and suffering
are recounted and the almost childlike
joy at any little measure of good for
tune. The best commendation of the
unadorned record is to say that it sets
down the truth as it appeared to men
of strong sense. having spirit and zeal
Gus purpose to do well the hard task
they had undertaken. AS a document
it is a minute and faithful account of
the first year in the northern colony,
as Bradford's History was that of the
first twenty-five years. Winslow con-
tinued his part of the journal for two
years more in his Good News from
New England AS writer's they both
had the historians discrimination in
emitting irrelevant and trivial matters
when the temptation to mention such
must have been great in the narrow
ness OF the place and time of their
writing.
Besides the above Governor Brad
ford wrote a Dialogue Between Some
Young Men in New England and sun
dry Ancient Men Out of Holland and
Old England also a Memoir of Elder
William Brewster" Winslow wrote a
Brief Narration of the True Grounds

England" All this and more may ne
read in '-Young's Chronicles of the Pill
grim Fathers" to be found in any col
lection of works on early colonial his
tory. Together they constitute the sum
of what is worth reading among the
writings of the first decade in the Ply
mouth plantation. They are as true
and honest. as simple and unaffected as
the social life they record. and some
times as picturesque as the surround
ings they describe. Afterward came
another manner, with fresh influx Of
colonists not like the first. and new ele-
rnents began to appear in literature
that was in many respects primitive.

EXCITEMENT IN WILLIAMS.
\ Big Rush to the New Platinum
Strike.

Men left Williams the first of last
week in all manner of conveyances for
the new platinum and aluminium strike
in Cataract canyon. Men who have
worked earnestly, lived well and con-
tentedly on meager salaries, didn't
sleep last Friday, Saturday and Sun
day nights. but rustled around getting
an outfit together.
The News says that Henry Sellers
and the Owens brothers have had these
locations in the canyon for several
years, but assayer after assayer has
fooled them on reports of the stuff. In
fact, about every assayer who has tried
it couldn't handle it, and weren't hon
est enough to say so; until, few weeks
ago. an assayer was found who said
there was something in it, but he could
not analyZe the substances, and was
unable to tell what it was. On his ad-
vice samples We're sent to an analyti-
cal chemist in Los Angeles, who made
Il return of 1928 platinum and IS per
cent aluminium.
Then the original owners made lOca-
lions. and everybody commenced to To-
cate and do development work. Last
week a sufficient quantity was taken to
Los Angeles by Mr.. Sharpnech and .
mill test made, which gave returns of
over S4OO per ton platinum. His re
turn and the mill-test returns were
sufficient. The few soon communicate
cd their elation to a few more and there
were mysterious mOvings and hurried
preparations for departure to the
mines.
The stores did a mammoth business
Saturday and Sunday selling supplies
and material to different parties out
fitting. Some left in the night and all
spf them as soon as they could. The
mineral is found in a clay deposit; one
vein is reported to be fifty feet wide.
and shows up at different places for
several miles.

MAsoNs BACK FROM MACON.
Grand Lodge Delegates Report Sue
cessfuI Session.

The Savannah delegates to the Grand
Lodge, F. & A. NJ, returned yesterday,
and report this meeting TO have been the
largest and best that has been held In the
state for number of years. Six hundred
delegates were present, and reelected all
of the officers Of last year. The grand
masters address was received most favor
ably, and by many was considered one of
the most eloquent efforts that has been
heard In the Grand Lodge in recent years.
The report of the financial standing of
the lodge was most satisfactory as it
showed that all debts have been paid and
that there is a surplus Of $500 in the treas
ury. All things considered the delegates,
consider 1t the best communication they
ever attended.
One of the important changes made in
the work of the Grand Lodge at this meet
ing was the changing Of the appointment
of district deputies by the grand master
to an election by the masters of the lodges
included in the district. Another matter
that came up for discussion was the es-
tabishment Of a Masonic Home, where
the aged and helpless Masons,, their wives
and children, or widows, or any Mason
unable 10 take care Of himself and family
might be taken care of by the Masonic
fraternity of the state. This matter was
brought up by Deputy Grand Master Max
MyerhaTdt and was so favorably received
is an assured thing.
A committee of eleven was appointed by
the grand master, one for each Masonic
district, to canvass the different lodges
and find out the sentiment regarding such
an esta bIishment. The committeeman vol
unteered to do this at their own expense.
While there is no doubt that the home
will be built no site has as yet been Sc
lected for it, nor have any plans been out
lined. These details will be considered
later. Already many prominent Masons
have expressed their willingness to con-
tribute to the fund.
During recess of the lodge, Mr.. W. z.
Mumford, the president OF one the or
phan schools, asked permission to bring
into the lodge room a number of his pu-
pills, because the Mason had helped thu m
and he wanted them to see their friends.
Mr.. Mumford has recently buift new COT
tage for his charges ard has given it the
Masonic name for strength in remem-
brance of the substantial aid in its erec-
ton furnished him by the Masonic lodges
of the state, who gave in all nearly ore
thousand dollars Of which ten per cent.
was given by Landrum Lodge OF this
city. A purse of $3.50 was made up among
the members present and turned over TO
