Objective.
We hearken to a sermon
Or we listen to song,
But we never quite determine
How this old world moves along
Men who stand in high positions
We must get them on the run,
So we call for ammunitionS
And invent another gun!
The battle cry brings terror
AS it echoes from of yore.
We deplore the human error
That is threatening once more.
We love each phrase corrective
AS we tell of right and wrong
And suspect life's great objective
Is the sermon or the song.

caused by the great fires which
the Indians had started on the
prairies of the West-then an
unknown and mysterious region
of unimaginable area. But two
well-known historians agree on
still another theory.
DR.. Joseph Doddridge, author
of Notes on the Settlement and

of Virginia and Pennsylvania
from 1853 to 1783," traces the
origin of the name back to Colo
NAL days when Indians were still

tons had to live behind stockades
in constant dread of Indian raids.
When the chill blasts of winter
came on, everyone breathed a
sigh of relief. No longer would
the Indians attack. The severity

of the winter would prevent that
danger. The hemmed-in settlers
now took to the open, going to
their log cabins outside with the
joyful feeling of men released
from prison.
It happened sometimes, how
ever, that the welcome inclement
weather gave way to a few days
OF unreasonable warm weather.
This was called Indian Summer
because it gave the Indians an
other chance to wage destructive
warfare against the colonists
once more.
Kercheval in his History Of
the Valley of Virginia" takes the
same view of the origin of the
term. He says: sit sometimes
happened that after the apparent
onset of winter the weather be-
came warm; the smoky time
commenced and lasted for a con-
siderable number of days. This
was the Indian Summer be-
cause it afforded the Indians

INDIAN SUMMER COMES AGAIN

Longfellow fixes the season
about the first of November in a
passage in his "Evangeline" as
follows:
Then followed that beautiful season,
Called by the pious Acadian peasants
the summer of All Saints,
Filled was the air with a dreamy and
magical light; and the landscape
Lay as If new-created In all the fresh
ness of childhood.
Since election day comes in
November, the following quota
ton from Whittier's, "The Eve
of Election" also places Indian
Summer in that month:
From gold to gray
Our mild sweet day
OF Indian Summer fades too soon:
But tenderly
Above the sea
Hangs, white and calm, the hunters
moon.
In its pale fire
The village spire
Shows like the zodiac's spectral lance;
The painted walls
Whereon il falls
TRANSPORTED stand in marble tranceI

little later in the month when he
says that
It is in the autunn's dotage, mid No
vember.
When skies, seductive. seem to WOO
the earth.
"a Piece of Sweetmeat."
Other poets, however, are
more concerned with what it is
rather than when it is and have
given US some charming descrip-
tons. Sam Walter Foss, in his
inimitable dialect, calls it "a
piece Of sweetmeat" in the fol-
lowing verse:
"Natur," the good old school-marm
who pities our distress,
She gives her children every year
little glad recess;
An OF gray-headed boys and girls,
they feel their hearts thaw out,
An life flows on as music'ly as wa
ter from spout;
An now the Ingin Summer time, 18th
all its rest is here,
piece OF sweet meat stuck between
the slices of the year;
sorter reign er jubilee 'twixt snow
an thunder showers;
A chunk of sweetness sandwiched In
between the frost and flowers.
Another famous dialect poet,
Frank L. Stanton, writing of In
dian Summer in his native state
of Georgia, declares that

dreamed my life away.
But not all the beautiful trib-
utes to Indian Summer have been
in verse. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
writer of delightful prose as well
as poetry, in his essay on the
seasons, says:
I'm October, or early In November.

yards, plucking on the way the aromatic
s1very herb everlasting, and smelling
at its dry flower until it cherries the
soul into aimless reveries outside of

trying to paint the still, warm, misty,
dreamy Indian Summer in words, there
are many states that have no articulate
vocabulary, and are only to be repro
duced by music, and the mood this sea-
son produces is of that nature"
In "The Guardian Angel he
continues on that theme thus:
ITO those who know the Indian Sum-
mer of our northern states it is needless
to describe the influence it exerts on
the senses and the soul. The stiffness of
the landscape in that beautiful time is as
If the planet were sleeping. like top,

And in Elsie Venner" he
refers again to this season by
declaring that 1.-THE real forest

Summer; then there is death in
the house, and they are waiting
for the sharp shrunken months
to come with white raiment for

Indians to use this time in prepa-
ration for winter by laying in
stores of food, or from their be-
lief that it was caused by a wind
blowing directly from the court
of the southwestern god" In sup
port of these versions he gave
two quotations, one from Rev.
James Freeman (who inciden-
tally placed the season definitely
in October) and the other from
the National Intelligencer (Which
placed it in November).
Freeman's version is this:
1.-THE southwest is the pleasant
est wind which blows in New
England. In the month of Octo-
Der, in particular, after the
frosts, which commonly take
place at the end of September, it
frequently produces two or three
weeks of fair weather, in which
the air is perfectly transparent,
and the clouds, which float in the
sky Of purest azure, are adorned
with brilliant colors. This charm
ing season is called the Indian
Summer, a name which is de-
rived from the natives, who be-
ieve that it is caused by wind
which comes Immediately from
the court of their great and be-
nevolent god Cautantowwit, or
the southwestern god"
Here is the quotation from the
National Intelligencer: 1.-The
short season of pleasant weather
occurring about the middle OF
November is called the Indian
Summer, from the custom Of the
Indians to avail themselves OF
this delightful time for har-
vesting their corn. 1t is a bland
and genial time, in which the
birds, insects, and plants feel a
new creation. The sky in the
meantime, is generally filed with
a haze of orange and gold, inter-
cepting the direct rays Of the
sun, yet possessing enough Of
light and heat to prevent SEN
sations of gloom or chill, while
the nights grow sharp and
frosty, and the necessary fires
give cheerful forecast of the So
cial winter evenings near at
hand"
Prairie Fires and Indian Attacks.
w. Faux, the author of MEM
orable Days." and James Kirke
Paulding, who wrote "John Bull
in America" agree in stating
that the early settlers in America
gave the name to the season be-
cause they imagined that the
smoky haziness of the air was
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-10-15

that a renewal of mild weather
occurs every autumn, and the
dates of its supposed occurrence
are more definitely fixed than
is the case IN America.
1.-The mild period thus, is
known in different parts of Eu-
rope as st. Martins Summer
st. Luke's Summer or st.
Michael's Summer and tradi-
ton fosters the idea that it is
always mild and warm, about
the time of these various saints
days. Genealogical facts, how
ever, do not always square with
this belief"

Indian Summer, you also have a
wide range of choice. An early

So there you have your choice
of three months September,
October and November-in which
to say It's Indian Summer
now" But the meteorological ex-
perts in the United States
weather bureau not only add an
other month to that list but they
Slso declare that you can say
It's Indian Summer now sew
erai times during the four
months. Here is what they say
about it:
Indian Summer is the name
applied in this country to
period of mild fall weather fol-
lowing a spell of bic
cold weather known as 'Squaw
winter such as occurred this
fall. 1t is not a fixed season in
the calendar.
I'm many years it is intermit-
tent; that is, there may be sew
eral Indian Summers in one au-
tumn. Thoreau in notes on
weather conditions at Concord,
Mass, from 1851 to 1860, re-
cords the occurrence of Indian
Summers on dates ranging
from September % to Deem
Der 49,
This indefinite spell is likely
to be more apparent in the upper
Mississippi valley where it is
more inclined to be in strong con-
trast with the climatic conditions
that precede and follow it. East
Of the Mississippi valley, the au-
tUrnn periods of dryness and
tranquility become irregular in
their occurrence and of brief
duration.
The peculiar haze which may
occur at this time of the year
is chiefly caused by the accurnu-
lation of dust and smoke in the
almost motionless atmosphere. 1t
is frequently called dry fog and
usually appears in what is known
as an ant-cycIone" when fine,
dry weather prevails. Minute di-
atoms and volcanic dust and the
dust from decayed vegetable
matter contribute to the density
of it. It may also be increased
by the smoke from prairie and
forest fires which may be trans
ported great distances through
the upper atmosphere, while at
the same time the air near the
earth may remain quite clear"
In regard to the Indian Sum-
mer on other continents, they
say:
In Europe as well as in this
country it is popularity believed
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-10-15

never made any incursions into
the SettlementS-another oppor-
tunity of visiting the settlements
with destructive warfares. The
melting of the snow saddened
every countenance, and the
genial warmth of the sun chilled
every heart with horror. The ap-
prehensions of another visit from
the Indians and of being driven
back to the detested fort were
painful in the highest degree"
First Use of Name.
The earliest known printed
reference to the name Indian
Summer was that made by a
Frenchman, st. John Creve-
occur who lived at Pine Hill,
Orange county, N. Y, late in the
Eighteenth century. In an essay,
ga Snow Storm as It Affects the
American Farmer, written some
time between 1859 and 1779 and
first printed in 1882 he called it
'PEte Savage" a free trans
1ation of which would be Indian
Summer. In this essay he said,
cater the fall of leaves, but
before any snowfall, comes a
rainy period. Great rains at last
replenish the springs, the brooks,
the swamps and impregnate the
earth. Then a severe frost sue
ceeds which prepares it to re-
ceive the voluminous coat of
snow which is soon to follow;
though it is often preceded by a
short interval of smoke and mild
ness, called the Indian Summer.
This is in general the invariable
rule: Winter is not said properly
to begin until these few moderate
days and the rising of the waters
have announced it to man"
This antedates by at least a
decade the first printed refer
ence" attributed to Maj. Eben-
ezer Denny, an officer in the
Revolution who later served with
Harmar's and st. Glars expedi-
tons against the Western Indians.
In 1874 Major Denny was sta
toned at LeBoeuf, a few miles
from the present city of Erie,
Pa, and on October Is he wrote
in his diary: Pleasant weather.
The Indian Summer here. Frosty
nights"
Since those days Indian Sum-
mer has been a favorite theme
for writer's and artists. "When
was the red mans summer"
asks Lydia Huntley Sigourney,
''the Felicia Hemans of Amer
lea" and one of the early Nine
teenth century poets. Then, with
out trying to fix the date in one
of her poems, she says it came
