THE TALK OF THE DAY.

A western man tells "The st. Louis
Republic" that eastern people talk
much more loudly than the people of
the far west. "If you ever heard an
Indian talk" he says, you will real
lie the force of what 1 say. 1 never
saw real Indian that spoke much
above a whisper. He illustrates ex-
actly what 1 mean. The Indian lives
in quiet solitude. His atmosphere is
not filled with noises and tympanum-
piercing sounds. Consequently he
does not have to elevate his voice in

FOURTH COMPANIES GRIEVANCE
Thinks IL Has Been Unfairly Treated
nv the Rrtoada CnunciL

The members of the Fourth Company,
Boys Brigade of the Bergen Reformed
Church, are vexed over am article which
appeared in a local Friday night. Tt was
an account of a meeting of the council of
the First Battalion during which 1t was
stated that no action was taken the resig-
nation of the Fourth Company.
The members of this company feel THAT
council. One of the members, a non-cofn-
missioned officer in speaking Of the occur
renee said
II do not see what right any one has to
represent the tFiEst Battalion other than
the Fourth CClnpany.Of course, 1t is wen
known that the Second Company'S retire
ment was no credit to the members of
that company. That was the first COM
tpany to get out off the battalion. When
the assessment, to cover the expense of
going to ann was announced, the other
companies instead of paying resigned. The
Fourth Company is, / believe the only
company that paid the assessment,
and therefore we are realty the only
company in the battalion. A move
ment is on foot, l understand, to organize
another battalion.
Should another battalion be organized,
Captain Charles Laws, of the Fourth
Company be chosen major"
The Fourth Company met on Friday
night last and arrangements for the an
nual camp were discussed. The Fourth
Company made a record last year which
they are anxious to uphold.
