learned of these dOings and promptly
plundered the town, looting the entire

outrages. The Russians had fortified
the town and its capture is an i'm

fascinating exhibited by our eli
mate, but do not designate it as
Indian summer" a name which
now belongs to it by the common
consent of the people of the Uni
ted States, Canada, Australia and
a portion of Europe.
The first recorded appearance
Of the name Indian summer" is
found under date of October 49,,
1904, in the journal of Major
Ebenezer Denny, an army officer
stationed at Fort LIE Boeuf, near
the sight Of the present city of
Erie, Pa. The term seems to
have. been already well known
and clearly recognized, The
New England tradition is that
the term Indian summer" is
derived from the prevalence, at
that time, of the southwest winds,
which the Indians supposed to
be sent as a peculiar flavor from
their good deity, Coutanowoit, to
whom, says the Rev. James
Freeman, they believe they
would go when they died.
A more logical reason is that,
in many portions Of the United
States, it was the Indians hunt
ing season, notonly on account of
the plenty and perfect condition
of the game, but because of the
density of the atmosphere, which
favored a close and unsupported
approach to the creature pur.
sued, Among the Indians of
the Northwest, it was the period
between the gathering and stor-
ing of summer supplies and the
selection of winter quarters in
the haunts oflarge game. Hence,
Indian summer in that region
was the season of migration, it's
mildness being favorable for
journeys. On being asked when
they intended to go to their hunt
fairgrounds, their usual reply
