Co mel Prokop delat? Cikani byli k nemu hodni, ale byli mu cizi. Nikdy neslySel o cikanech pekne vypravovat. Ma u nich ted' zustat, di ma se vratit domd k UreSovilm?

Podival se skulinkou ye voze, kde asi je Byl v jinom, neznamem kraji zase na pokraji lesa . Tou dirou ye voze vide]. cikanskeho kone, kterY se pas1 na travnate lesni caste. Stara cikanka, 'Spinava a rozcuchand, rozdelavala °hen, mlacF.,i clkanka nosila ji z lesa Treti cikanka sedela u vozu na travniku a hrala si s nejmenim deckem. Od lesa prichazel start' cikan. PriSel k ohni, protahl se, zivl a iekl mrzute ke stare cikance: "Co s tim klukem, je des, aby uz vstal!" obratil se k vozu, chtel asi hocha vzbudit, ale Prokop jiZ slezal s vozu a pral hlasite: "Dobre jitro!"

Staff?. cikan jako by pozdrav an! liemrzute krikl na Prokopa: "Ty lenochu, pamatuj si, Ze se u rids mu g brzy vstavat! Arpad uz shani r l.ivobyti. Ty mu ted' mush pomahat!"

KdyZ prijel zase k jednomu domu tak hospodar, Ze sedel na galeril, tento jemu oznamoval ucel sveho cestovani talc on se hide hlasil, Ze je panem domu.

Kdy2 prigii k vozu hospodar jemu povida: KdyZ je tomu talc do opravdy a Ze si nruze jednoho z tech trech kone vybrat, talc Ze on si vYbere toho kterY se jemu nejlepe bude libit. Zeno ktera byla v dome v ge v tichosti vYslechla, pak vygla, na galeril a pozorovala sveho mute kone si vybral. Kdy2 tiZ toho kone si odvadel jeho Zeno mu p-ovida: Me se libi lepgi tamhle ten drulaY kuri Hospodar pan domu se nechal svoji tZene premluvit a kdy chtel jej vymenit talc dostal na misto kone kuratko.

V ten samY den tam byl prijety mi neznamy pan, kterY pri gel do salonu, kterY patill panu Janu Coufalovi v Seaton, v torn roku tam byli dva salony..

Tento pan se sam predsta.vil. Vystoupil na jednu z prazdnYch Zicili a povida: Mlady Haidu gek je zde: Vy co dluZite za "Svobodu", mfiZete to jemu zaplatit. Nekteri se na nej zlobili, Ze je takto verejne upominal.

Nekdy v torn samern Case se zakladaly odboeky Oeskeh.o Narodniho zdruZeni, ktere Vojta Bene g poinahal organisovat za neelem &lot sbirky pro prvni odboj, aby zeme Gesko-Mora yske byly osvobozeny od, Rakouske nadvlady.

Pri, mojem remesle jsem tarn mel take konkurenta a to v Tom Mikula gtikovi, ktery mei farmu mezi Seaton obchody a kadovou sini Hvezda Texasu, Oslo 47, SPJ ST.

Vgechno co jsem kupoval jsem platil hned hotove a nekdy kdy jsem mel fiver talc Orly do rnesice jsem se vyrovnal abych mel zase dalg i fiver otevren.

SeatonskY obchodnik Frank Motl byl dobrY elovek, a kdy2 jsem nemel po kakde penize v ruce, tak to jeho deni kniha nam poslouZila. KdyZ jsem se omlouval, Ze zase , potrebuji dal gi nakup na dluh, vady s iismevem mne obslouZil. Mel on velke bolaate zku genosti v obchode. Znal vgechny lidi v osade. SveHi se mi v mnohem co mi bylo zdrave vedet,a Ze to bylo uptimne reeeno, nage pratelstvi bylo neporu geno pc) celY jeho Zivot a po vady no. ne v flute vzporninam.

Po eas nageho pobytu v Seaton nas pribylo do rodiny. Dostali jsme dceru g -ku,terojsmp enovaliLk. Nekdy nebylo v kovarni co Mat, a ja na misto promarnit eas v salonech, jsem vzal motyku a gel Karlovi Simkovi nagemu sousedovi pomoc okopavat bavinu.

Ja.k tarn byli hotovi s kopanhn tak jsem gel k Josefovi JaZovi pomoci do baying.

To bylo obdobi kdy Jim Ferguson byl guvernerem statu Texas a Woodrow Wilson president SpojenYch Na podzirn bratr porad psal, Ze rodiee chteji abych nechal toho kovarenl, a prestehovali se zpatky a znovu si zrentovali od nich tort samu farmu co jsme trZ jednou od nich rentovali.

Po tech zku genostech, byt' jell kratkYch, ktere jsme nabyli s rentovanim jsme nemeli ani dosti malo chuti se stehovat na, rent. ManZelka, zdedila nejakY majetek po svojich roclieich a to nam umoZnilo se stehovat zpatky, na to samu farmu, kteru jsme od mojich koupili.

hibieaky vYsu gen tak jsme se domluvili a spoleene Frantu Zaleskeho vykoupili.

To v Buckholts byly celkein etyri salony, ale jeden rok pied tim tarn jich bylo pet.

KdyZ jsem vyjednaval onu koupi, tak Frank .me nechal onen obchod vesti na jeho jmeno az do vypr geni onech licenci. Dalo mi to dosti easu pothdat o noye povoleni. Ucinil jsem talc prosttednictvim pravnika, kterY mel nasi zaleZitost na starosti to vie sprotiedkovat.

KdyZ nadeiel den a j a si jedu do okresniho mesta Cameron na Court House (na Radnici) yYzvedneut onu noyou licenci, seiel jsem se s mojim zastupcem, kterY- jiZ tarn na inns eekal.

Prvni jeho slava byla "Kdo je tvuj neptitel tam v Buckholts?' Ja piekvapen jemu odpovidam, Ze opravdu nevim, neb doposud jsem osolane Zadneho nezna1 a aZ na nejakou tou obchodni zavist a Zarlivost.

On pokraeoval a fekl jest to nekdo co mi nepf:eje abych v torn obchodu nadale pokraeoval, a Ze brzy se dozvime kdo to je.

Okresnim soudcem byl Gilles, a okresnim navladnim byl Morrison Stary. Mel jsem kratkY vYslech, rozmluvu s temito dvouma kedniky, a pit torn jsern shledal pileinu zadrZeni mojeho povoleni.

Ona osoba yznesla mne toto udani: ze nebyvam v okresu dosti dlouho (zakon tehdy vYZadoval 2 poky (dva).

Byl jsem kratce pied tim v okresu Bell ale dame jsem platil v okresu Milam, v Cameron. On ten navladni mi pak Ze prohledne zakon, abych v 1:30 hodin prigel zpet.

Mel jsem kratgi rozmluvu se soudcem, hned jak jsem se dostavil v 1:30 hodin a ptam se kde je ten navladni. On povida uZ by zde mel 13Srti, nebudeme dele eekat, ja jej zavolamf telefonem. Slyael jsem jak soudce se navladniho ptal, jeite nejsi hotovy se svojim zakonem?

Soudce me dal licenci a ja, jak tutu v salony vyvesil jsem hned zaiel za tim mojim nepfitelem, ktereho jsem brzy obj evil.

Loiza se s jeho rodinou nastehoval do Buckholts. Je jsem no, dale zilstal na forme a na svoje misto , jsem si zjednal mladika Wilika Set-Oka, kcly2 byl odveden na vojnu aby slouZil v to prvni ay etove valce, talc jsem tehdy na jeho misto natal zase mladikaâ&#x20AC;&#x17E;, byl to Theo.

Thera Readers: Our meeting following, the fortieth anniversary celebration was nicely attended to the satsifaction of the lodge officers who feel that their efforts for the growth of Lodge No. 133 has been rewarded by the interest of its members.

Interest permeated the gathering to learn the financial outcome of our venture to raise funds for our rest home for, the aged. However, the disbursements and receipts had not been figured to the final stage, so a little more time was needed to have the exact figures.

Bro. Milton Holubec of Rowena Lodge No. 49 was introduced as our guest following the singing of "Pod Nasina Okny" (Under Our Windows) to put the audience in a serious mood for the business ahead. One of the highlights of the meeting was the presentation of nine applications for membership to the tune of umpteen thousands of dollars of insurance. Congratulations to our operatives for their untiring efforts.

Work done with enthusiasm results in double satisfaction.

Discussion regarding the presentation of flowers at the Pilgrimage to the Alamo--the cradle of Texas liberty where 187 Texans fought a battle to the death against an overwhelming iarmy of 3000, an epic of unequaled courage and devotion-by various organizations, beginning Monday, April 22, which marks the start of the week of Fiesta San Jacinto, was aired and agreed to donate cash for this purpose.

Tuesday, April 23, was the date set for our sisters to sell kolaches at La Villita at "A Night in Old San Antonio." it'veits too- late for this news to be sent to the Vestnik in time. A bit of good news came from Sister Henrietta Kalmus, head of entertainment committee, informing the lodge that we were given the date of June 18 to be guests of the Lone Star Brewery.

She would live with my wife' and me.

She does not plan to work. We have prepared a preference petition and an affidavit of support in her behalf and the Consul recently told here that her number would be reached soon. Suddenly she has become ill and the doctor says that her arm will have to be amputated because of possible cancer. Will that prevent her immigration?

Answer: The immigration law excludes persons who are afflicted with tuberculosis or otther dangerous contagious diseases. Since cancer is not contagious you do not have to worry about your mother being- excluded n that ground. An obvious physical defect such as the loss of an arm could interfere with one's ability to earn, a livin. Iin such cases it is necessary for the immigrant to asstabiish that he or she will not have to earn a living. Your mother can readily do this, since she does not plan to work and will be living with you and your wife. )o The TV repairman was trying to locate the trouble in the set. A six-yearold came dashing into the room.

Dear Vestnik Readers: Here are a few lines about our local lodge. Our last meeting was a week later than usual, being postponed on account of the cold and wet weather.

Being Easter Sunday, not many of our members dame to the meeting but we still had the Easter egg hunt for the little ones and all those present enjoyed lunch and refreshments after the meeting.

Our next meeting will be the first Sunday in May (not the usual second Sunday) on May 5, because this second Sunday will be Mother's Day and most members will want to visit their mothers, so it was decided to have our meeting one week earlier and have a social get together honoring our mother members May 5th. The fathers will treat the mothers to a barbecue dinner and refreshments. All the mothers have to bring are the trimmings to go with the barbecue. So, let's all go and enjoy ourselves.

We have three new members in the juvenile department, namely: Harvey Ben Polasek, Bobby Wayne Peter (in the March meeting) and Cynthia Rose Johns (in the April meeting). Welcome to our lodge!

There is not much else to report so I shall close for this time, I remain, Fraternally yours, Julia Vaclavik, Reporter )e •(

motion on the "goings on" of this par. ticular lodge, my lodge, and its people Especially noteworthy is the fact that the Sokol Zizka, Dallas, shares its home with Lodge Jaro—it's all one membership—and from this source much young talent was gleaned for its various programs, benefits, etc. The Lodge Jaro 130 had a strong theatrical group which functioned for years and years with outstanding success. Many is the time that the Dallas group all converged ou Ennis or Fort Worth to give those members a pleasant visit as well as a money making project for their lodge. In those times, everyone worked FREE. If someone was in need and couldn't afford lost time from work or had transportation problems, the lode would give him his fare, or his day's wage which he lost. Usually, though, members cars were packed with players, stage props, costumes and away they went!

It was always good to get to Ennis For the city kids the o pen country was a wonderland of space, wonderfullj fresh air, green trees, and plenty of room to "let off steam" without annoying anyone. The good Ennis mothers understood this and were tolerant with those city kids. In Fort Worth, it was the same.

We grew up, these three cities, as a family—everybody knew everybody else.

These three cities always supported each other's efforts—still do for that matter. They are very close.

From this center sprung the Women's Circle ,Zensky Krouzek) which has been in continuous activity for well over 20 year's. They are a devoted Thursday afternoon coffee and cake gathering group of ladies who are clever with a needle or crochet hook and contribute many beautiful hand made articles as well as funds to many worthy causes all over the United States. Some of this group are also members of long years' standing with the local Red Cross chapter.

During the war, this little hub had a "dinner" and. I mean capital "D," once a month. Long lines of hungry folk were well fed and this gathering became the congregating place of the Czech and their kin to exchange news of the loved ones who were serving, etc., for everyone was very busy with the "war effort" and didn't have his heart much in anything but the war and those who were in it, but to these Dinners they always acme. It was all donated, work—many of the dishes too, and the funds from all of this went to charitable organizations.

Very elaborate dances were also plan, ned that are still the talk of progrant planning groups—to those who remem•

Eltran a ?? her them. The Arabian Nights dance on which the whole membership worked nights for weeks and weeks, making the elaborate interior of the Sokol Hall, the costumes of the participants, from handsome shieks, dancing girls, gypsies, complete harems of beautiful women in turkish pants, etc., lanterns, wicked looking swords of cardboard hung on the walls, huge vases like those which held precious oils in the Arabian Nights tales we have all read in school. Even the orchestra was dressed for the occasion. I remember our orchestra leader, John Kebrdle, the violinist, had such a ferocious looking handlebar moustache which was so unlike him, that even today I laugh at the memory. The turbaned, painted suntan Arabs (Czechs) were very memorable that night. It's all still so vivid.

Then one dance the hall was strung with wire netting overhead, on which was hung bunches of grapes to simulate an arbor. Other fruit was also hung for 'those who did not especially like the grapes. During the dance the dancers could reach up and "sneak" a bunch of grapes. If they were not caught—so much so good. The hall however, was filled with policemen with shrill whis ties and if a policeman caught you— into the calaboose you went, if you couldn't pay the five of ten-cent fine.

Then if the "boy friend" wanted to dance with you, he had to pay your bail. The bespectacled judge meted out tines left and right with lots of laughs.

Sometimes the jail would be full of all the male dancers and the wives had to bail hubby out, taking him off by the eat. Oh, it was fun!

This is just a sample of what the Dallas Jaro 130 did in the way of entertainment. You can see the amount of preparation it took to make this a success. It was so successful that there are those that still talk about it. It made an ordinary dance into a memory.

The Dallas Czechs comprising this group were poor, hard-working folks, like any,other, no rich people, or millionaires among them, but when they pulled, they pulled together--to the betterment of the lodge "kitty."

Many a face is missing in today's crowd—and many a sweet face is decidedly wrinkled—but the eyes are the same, alive, smiling and brotherly. They are a hardy, wonderful people.

Dear readers, it is not the numbers that matters but the "kind." One must have one's heart in the work, and not minding of the other fellow lends a hand or not—do what you as an individual can, and you will see that you will have help. I hope this will be an encouragement to those good

Wednenday, Ma y 1, 1957 PROTECTING RETIRED ACREAGE Texas seed laws are being taken to task because of an oversight in one of the country's most important agricultural programs — the Soil Bank Conservation Acreage plan.

Because federal conservation acreage measures fail to stipulate that seed bought for use on reserved acreage be tested and tagged to qualify for federal payment, some persons are disregarding state laws which establish standards of purity nad quality for milliner?ial seed.

For example, the federal government nas agreed to pay 80 per cent of the purchase price for grain sorghum seed used on retired acreage, whetb ker the sed be cleaned, tested, tagged, treated, or not.

Those who have construed this as encouragement to plant "cheap" seed in order to effect slight savings in costs are endangering the value of their land in the long run, It is hoped that the oversight which might cause such false encouragement will be cleared up soon.

Texas seed laws provide that all seed sold or offered for sale in the state, excepting some transactions between farmers, must meet certain requirement to prevent the return to the soil of undesirable weed seed contained in crop seed.

For only a few extra cents per acre spent on tagged and tested seed, a farmer can be assured that his land value will not drop. If he unwisely and illadvisedly uses low quality and possibly polluted seed, he may well be incurring a higher loss than whatever payment he will receiev from the soil bank.

Failure to u.se good, tested and tagged seed for any soil-building program defeats the entire purpose for which the land is being retired. The risk is great that improper, untested seed may contain weed seed which can create a permanent blight on the land. The purpose of acreage retirement is to build and revitalize land with healthy and helpful crops, not to jeopardize it with a "grab-bag" seed purchase.

On the sick list this month are Mr. There is no such thing as bargain and Mrs. Frank Schovajsa and Mrs. Ernest Macat. We wish them, a speedy basement seed, whether it be used to plant a major crop or to give your land recovery. Greetings to all from a rest--Texas Department of AgriculYours sincerely, ture.

Deda, affectionate nickname for Granddad, feeling affluent after his glass of Pilsner, and acting this day as host to the men in the parlor while the women. were fighting the battle of the dishpan in the kitchen after a family dinner, said: "Now, I'll tell you how I drank wine with the Emperor Franz Joseph, the ruler of my country when I was a young 111n n."

That made us all sit up--for we never knew that he and the emperor were on wine drinking terms, so we settled back on the sofa and listened to his tale.

"I served my apprenticeshop as a locksmiht as a lot of young men do in my country. Before I finished my training, I had,had three masters and three different locations for I also had itchy feet."

The last master under wrom. I served lived in a. pretty but small village near a castle estate with a beautiful forest.

All of this was very heavily guarded and watched and we had strict orders to keep out of trouble in regards to poaching on the estate's small game.

"I especially liked, the town because at that time I had a very pretty sweetheart there whom I had hoped to make my wife after I had finished my apprenticeship.

"One night I was awakened by the master, who came up to our loft where

"Hosi (boys), I drained the delicious nectar of the gods to the last drop and thanking the man servant for the treat, I replaced the glass on the tray • with its companions. " Do you know who drank from that tray of wine glasses?' he 'asked me amusedly. 'No, I (haven't the slightest idea,' I replied, looking at him. The emperor, Franz, Joseph,' answered the servant, holding the door open for me to leave," Deda finished his tale ,and got up laughingly. "Yes„" he said, "I drank with the emperor, only Old Fiantisek (as he was affectionately called) didn't know about ip" The kitchen brigade then joined us and conversation flowed along more modern lines. ) °. els • (

The master was not feeling well this night, so I took his place.

"It was a beautiful moonlight night and the road shone like a winding snake in its beam. As I approached the estate property, trees began to darken the path and in the night stillness only the wind was sighing like a lovesick maiden. I whistled a tune half under my breath as I joyously approached the beam of light at the Castle Gate House, where I was to report.

Small Dams For Texas Immigration And Naturalization Conservation The state's tremendous land and water resouroces—ill from many years of neglect—are getting a good "shot in the arm" from the various Soil Conservation districts.

Hundreds of small dams, known as retention reservoirs, have been constructed on upstream tributaries in major Texas watersheds. Many others are planned in conjunction with large down stream reservoirs.

These upstream water retention structures are beginning to dot the countryside. In some areas, they can be seen from the highways. They might appear, at first, to be an exaggerated "Texas-size" stock tank.

The small dam projects have a threefold purpose: Prevent flash floods, conserve water, and stop soil erosion.

Thousands of acres in lowland areas have been made available for crops and pastures became the retention structures have eliminated seasonal flash floods.

SCD co-operators in the area, thru proper land treatment on farms surrounding the reservoirs, help preserve every drop that falls. They also assist theSCD in obtaining necessary easements for proposed reservoirs.

The dams, when constructed, remain the property of the landowners, Recreational facilities have been set up by many owners. And irrigation has been applied to small, adjoining crops.

The structures are designed to release excessive water downstream at a slow rate, thereby putting into practice the idea to "make water walk, not run." When, a flash flood strikes, the reservoirs catch the water and release it very slowly.

Completion of all the planned small dams will, in the future, tend to stabilize the flow of large creeks and rivers—providing more dependable, yearround surface water supplies.

All Texans should be proud of the locally controlled Soil Conservation districts. SCD boards of supervisors and the farmer - cooperators are far-sighted, progressive leaders. They have recognized that, as the soil goes, so goes the nation. And they're doing something about it.—Texas Dept. of Agriculture.

Question: I have a cousin among the Hungarian refugees who recently were paroled into the United States. She left behind her her husband and ten yeat old son who are at present in Austria Is there any way in which this family can be reunited in the United States?

Answer: Although the mass movement of Hungarian refugees into the United States has subsided, the Immigration Service does permit Hungarian refugees paroled into the United States to file an affidavit on behalf of husbands, wives or minor children. Such at affidavid will secure preferential treatment for the close relatives of refugees.

Question: Before I immigrated to the United States I gave birth out of wedlock to a child whose father was an American citizen. Two years later I immigrated to the United States with my child and shortly thereafter married the father. I should like . to know whether my child is a citizen.

Answer: Through your marriage to the child's father your child is legitimated and thereby became an American citizen as of the date of his birth.

Had you been an American citizen and a former resident of the United States, your child would have been a citizen at birth, regardless of legitirnation or the citizenship of the father.

If you want to obtain proof of your child's citizenship, you should file ,an applicatin for a certificate of deriva7. tive citizenship with the Immigration and Naturalization Service on Form ,N600. In support of the application you. should submit the father's birth cer-,.„ tificate or naturalization certificate, well as the marriage certificate and the child's birth certificate.

Letters from America Your letters from America — letters to friends and relatives abroad — can make friends for America. Make thern count.

Many people abroad are curious about America. They want to know more about us. Those of us with friends and relatives abroad can help satisfy this natural curiosity through our letters. Let's spread the truth about America.

SPJST SOFTBALL TEAM Dallas, April 25, 1957 Dear Brothers and Sisters: On Wednesday, April 25, the scheduled league game was postponed due to heavy rains , and will be played at a later date. So our next league -game, weather permitting, will be next Wednesday, May 1, at Samuels Diamond No. 2, game time 8:45 p.m. Our opponent will be Dallas Times Herald.

We have been quite fortunate here in Dallas as it has been raining nearly every day for a week now and White Rock Lake is finally full again and running over the spillway for the last three days, causing a lot of traffic congestion as many Dallasites have been turning out in droves to see the sight.

Dallas' water supply is now considered about a 3-year su p ply in all the lakes, which is very good news for a change, and if these rains continue, the drouth situation all over the sioate should be pretty well taken care of; sure hope so.

On Monday night, April. 22, our team ploye.d Resistol Hat of Garland a practice game and we lost by a score of 4 of 2 in a game played on a wet field.

Though our opponent scored 4 runs, all were unearned as we committed 5 errors and a passed ball, which could be attributed to the condition of the diamond.

Jim Scoggins pitched ;a very good game, allowing only 2 hits, 1 walk and striking out 7 batters with no earned runs. Tommie Speck, another newcomer on the team, caught a very good game. Getting doubles were Ray Marek, Bill R.obbins. and Jim Scoggins and getting singles were Albin (Bina) Vrana and Frank Mach. Also some of the players could not make this practice game, those participating had a chance to

Wednesday, May 1, 1957 get in some practice, sorely needed by all.

Before closing, I want to take this opportunity to thank our editor, Brother L. 0. Hosek, for his cooperation and assistance he has extended to our softball team thus far this season. I also want to thank him for tim nice and appropriate heading he hr.s been using above these reports, though the con. tents may not be too good or well writ• ten, at lealst the ball player on top of the report makes it look good, so my sincerest thanks to our editor for hi.: consideration.

Articles about Czech boys and , :;PJST member.: on various high school teams, colleges, or sports news in local ledges about the youth and teenagers.

Pokraeovani.

Do takoveho "liduprazdneho" vozu dostal se Skrivanek. Libilo se mu v nem jak naleli. Postavil si koSik na kolena a bystre se rozhliZel kolem. Vi-tz proti malinkemu oddeleni v draze zda se mu bYt velkY jako chalupa, koear trhanovskeho pana hrabete — ten zasklenY je proti tomuhle neinenY hadr, hotova skorapka, hradka pro deti. •klenenYmi okay i dvekmi hlecli Skrivanek n,a vSechny strany a uvaZuje: "Stafra ,jedeme jako dy2 hrom bije, ha piece 'ZadnY kone, hani komin, hard Zadnou maSinu zapraZenou vodpredu nevidim. Jenom to bruel ha vrni jako v lite hovadi. Rozbzika-li se to, Zadnyj to nehudrZi, hani voprave to nema, hani glajf nihde na tom nevisi. Aha — ten prvni hasi ryjduje," pomyslil .si a zadival se na ridijak pravou rukou otadel volne malym litinovYm koleekem. "Ha cak ten zadu s takkou na bkiSe? — K eemu pa tu hasi stoji?" obratil Skkivanek sve oat na pravodelho.

Ale ten ut mini k nemu.

"Tak karn pak jedeme, tatiku co?" optal se ho bod ge, otviraje taSku a pohravaje si hrsti papiru, jako by to byly hraci karty.

"Aha, bure si chtit se mnou hodit," strclilo hlavou strYci, "'sme tu tak sami za vetrem — ale, holeeku, me nedostaneS! Ja vim, jak humeji v Praze eloveka voSkubat," a jako by ty karty nevide', povida lhostejne: "Ha jedu si do Prahy pro dedictvi."

Kondukter vyvalil oei: "Tak? Pro dedictvi? A co? mnoho zdedite?"

"Hani sem eae nevim, jakyj podil nam pant letos vystipili. Slibujou ne jednu jako jindy, hale hned nekolik kniZek ze dostanem."

"Spokitelnich nebo zalolenskYch?" "Nu, neStodilo by — cak je vo to — zatim to sou kniZky ke eteni —" "0 jakem dedictvi to vlastne mluvite?`" "Nu, vo svatojanskYm piece."

Vtom zastavil se vilz prudce, nahle, at to Skfivankem hrklo. "Holt" — vykfikl hned a skoeil na nohy. "Stojime! To se ty ma:Since hasi neco stab!"

"I kde pak! Zde je zastavka, hned zas pojedeme," tisil ho prilvodei, zatahl za semen a. vfiz se opravdu znovu rozejel.

"Ha, to je mi vymySlenost',podivoval se strVc a rad by byl rozpiedl hovor, co a jak ten vilz tone. Kondukter vSak

lined zase na neho hnal irtiokem: "a kde mate to dedictvi? Kde je vydavaji?"

"Tu v Praze piece."

"Praha je musite ml fici v ktere etvrti a ulici, abych vam podle toho mohl vydati listek."

"Ha cak ja vim? To piece v mate veclet. Dyt' ste PraZak, ne? Piid'te k nam, ha na dve hodiny cesty kolem do kola Borovna yam povim, hde co je, hdo co ma, ha, hde hdo vostava."

"Dam y am tedy velky listek a pak si vystupte, kde chcete', ukoneoval rozhovor kondukter, uSlubl rychle papirek tak asi na dva prsty SgrokY, propichl jej, preloZil a pode.val Skfivankovi. Ten se dal do hlasiteho smichu: "elovieku draha, tomtudle tu kikate velkyj listek? Dyt' je to papirek jako motyjdl ha mekyj jako hadfieek, cak za to chcete?"

"Deset novyjch, pantato."

"I dote, dote! Dva novY za ten papirek je cena. hat Bah brani."

"Tu se nesaulouva, jen "derstva; penise sem."

"Nununu — net vyhodim deset novyjch, muS'im si to piece jak se path rozmyslit."

"Jake rozmYSleni?" durdil se kmadukter. "Mate Stesti, to jedete sam! Kdyby byl naval, nemel bych easu s vami se bavit a zdrtovat. Zde to mate vytiStene eerne na bilem," ukazoval mu prstern na listeeek.

Skfivanek vytahl a kapsy pouzdro, z nebot opatrne vyn.al brejle, posadil je na nos a vskutku vide", to ten papirek je tak drah.Y. Zabrudel tedy nevrle: "Co je psano, bure clano" a bez dalgich namitek. zaplatil.

"Ieko si za to posedim," pomyslil si, "hutiju ty jizdy," protote se citil ted' ve voze jako doma. Dedietvi necha dedictVim a bude se nejdtIve shanet po Tra y -niekov.ThpakutvSdepro a cestu mu ukale. Sedi tedy strYe pohodlne, rortahne se ve voze a postoucha, jak ten vpiedu zvoni skora celou cestu, ten zadni zas piska na koStenou vuz jak si bzuei jako srSein a mysli si: "Hezka to muzika zrovna neni. Nu — hale piece jenom jedu s muzikou!" Take tez', hodnou chvili nesedi sam. Na kaade stanici nekdo piistoupi. Sktivanek si vSak nikoho nev'Sima. Stale jenom na to hledi, jak se veze pekne prostiedkem ulice, s obou stran jak stoji domy at do nebe vysoke a jak pied nini s koleji vSecko uctive ustupuje na dye strany, zase zastavil vaz a stoji jako pfibitY. Skitvanka 1.0 to nerozeiluje, nebot' vi, kdyby zatahl za feminek nad hlavou, to by se to kara lined zase rozbehla. Nezatahne vgak za ten feminek. Naopak!

"Ouha," vzpamatoval se rychle vymenial a udekil chlapika pies ruku at za.vYskl bolesti. "Ja to dam S'ahat po tom, co neni tvyho," ulevil si je gte a piltahl koSik s husou k sobe.

"Vy chlape jeden — dam vas zaviit," rozkiikt se muZ, hazeje rukou a ohmatavaje si ji.

"Ohoho! Maly strachy! hu nas zaviraji zlodije ha ne poctivY lidi."

"Ja zlodej?"

"Ha nehnal ste se mi po koSiku? Pane, ja znam. Prataky! Doma nee hde hdo varoval: `Stryjee, hajt' vas tam v ty Praze nevokradou!" Hale trefil ste na kosa! Holeeku, ja se nedam!"

"Ja jsem od potravni dane."

"Let! Bulika na nos mi nepovesite! but kopu let pulmistrem v Borovne.

"Co mate v tom koSi?" "Hadaee."

"Vystupte, pfijdete se mnou!"

"Hat budu chtit Ja main velkyj listek, nehnu se s fleku, hale vy mart von" — a strYc hold ukazal ke vozu. Ale jak hlavu °tail — lekl se a zbledl. Kolem. vozu ut kupilo se lidi jako much a kondiikter se smal jizlive jako sam "Antone, vyved si fiakou hloupost'," kmitlo se Slaivankovi mozkem. Jedina, spasa by byla,, praStit do koni a ujet.

"Puste to! Pu.ste z ruky tu klieku! Na celY kolo to puste, hajt to leti!" zavolal proto rychle do piedku vozu i sam se tam rozbehl, kdyt se ridie nehYbal, ale stal jako parez se zalolenYma rukama a smal se strYci do tvate. "Ha to si forman, ja to naltutim," kasal se strYc a dobYval se na• piedni ploSinu. Ale ne a ne tu kliku zmaeknout dveie oteviit.

"To by v torn but eerchmant, habysme neprojeli," mysli si kuratne. "Jak se to hue, tak ty policajty vyhazim ha bure ,dobre.

Ale tiza sklern se dal zubi, jako by byl hluchSr. "Pojd'te se mnou," polotil v tom strkei ruku na rameno policajt. StrYc vi, to ted' poslechnouti musi. Sebral ko'Sik a vystoupil ochotna.

"Jako by mu z voka vypad," pomyslil si, vida, ze i kondukter s piSt'alkou a taAkou na zadni Plogine, i vpfedu ten forma u klioky stejne jsou obleeeni a ze se na neho usrnivaji jako na, stareho znameho.

"Aha, myslite ha eekate, ze si zase sednu," rozhneval se Sktivanek a rozkrikl se na. p •tivodeiho, vyk.lanejiciho se yen pies paZeni vozu. "Vyka glu se na vas, dyg ste me nechali v brynde! •Jed'-( te si sami tfebas do Tramtdrie. Dybysme buli cheasne projeli, buli byste poznali, hdo je staryj Kilvanek.

Takovou srdeenou Peci rozloueil se tedy strYc s elektrickou drahou a obratil se k ni zady. HluenY potlesk s hlaholmim smichem rozlehl se kolem. to shomaZdenj"/ zastup vesele zatleskal i se zasinal. Jenom Ski•ivanek se nesmal.

Zmetil si .shromaZdene kosYm pohledem a znovu se ozval: "Pro pet ran, tu je eumilii! Cak, lidieky, nemate doma co delat, ze tu tak vokradate Pana Boha vo eas? Koukyjte na tamdlety, jak se, chuclaci, moil!" A htilkou eakanou uka.zal do ulice k mostu, kde na fasade kteresi novostavby pracovali zednici.

A PATIENT'S TESTIMONY About two years ago I came to Dr. Albert H. Broden N. D. of Hallettsville, as his patient after I heard so much of him• with a nearly paralized left hip. My leg was swolen and I had to use a stick to lean on Ile cured me and never did I had an ache or a pain since.

I weighed nearly 320 lbs. and I Yost 120 lbs. I kept trii. normal weight up to this writing and never took another treatment.

Several months ago I had a severe heart attli2k. Dr. Broden was in Europe than and I had two months !It, shots, but by the end of the two months I was worse than when I began. I was hoping Dr. Broden would re7.. rn and take care of me or I would not live long. could not work. Laying most of the time in bed. On, day a friend of mine said Ed, you know your Doctor Broden is back in Hallettsville? As soon as I heard , that I made a point to go to Hallettsville. I got about foot' treatments and my pain in my heart left me and I g(;:. strong again. After ten treatments, I went to work amt at this writing I am doing the plowing as though never was sick a day. I feel better than I have in years.

I hope every one who suffers with heart or any other sickness will believe me as I have no other desire than to help my fellowman.

Dr. Broden's address is P. 0. Box 113, Hallettsville, Texas.

Sincerely I remain Ed. Branscky Flatonia, Rt. I, Box 85, Texas
