Zanimive vesti iz življenja naših rojakov po raznih naselbinah Amerike
Delavske razmere v zapadni Pennsylvaniji, piše rojak, so v resnici tako kritične, da jih ni mogoče opisati. Zlasti je slabo za. prcmogarje. žalosten je pogled na male otročiče in na pre-mogarske žene, ki so z otroci vred na delu kot piketi. Vsi so razcapani, bledih, prepalih obrazov.
Slovenci, ki so zaposljeni pri Ohio Leather Co., Girard, Ohio, delajo s polno paro vsak dan, včasih tudi ob nedeljah, toda s tem ni rečeno, da se delo dobi za novodošleee. Kot poroča dopis-
30 milijonov zvezdnih skupin prikaže teleskop na Mount Wilson
Pasadena, California, 25. junija. Dr. Edwin Hubble, ki je znamenit astronom na observatoriju Mount Wilson, je pravkar izjavil na zborovanju ameriške družbe za pospeševanje znanosti, da je dognal potom natančnih poizvedovanj in opazovanja, da je mogoče razločiti potom teleskopa, ki se nahaja na observatoriju na Mount Wilson, 30,000,000 zvezdnih skupin. Teleskop ima 100 palcev v premeru. Tudi je povedal, da so te zvezdnate skupine ali "nebule" stomilijonkrat svet-

V državi Colorado premogovniki in drugi rudniki skrajno slabo obratujejo. Rojaki pišejo,
omenjene trditve. Pred istim zborovanjem je govoril tudi dr. Richard Tolman o problemu, s katerim se znanstveniki že dolgo pečajo, namreč če zastaja vrtenje zemeljske osi ali je še vedno normalno. Povedal je, da po njegovem mnenju bo zemlja

Gangeži med seboj
Komaj smo dobili vest., da so gangeži ubili Jack Langmana, o katerem se trdi, da je bil ubit, ker je preveč vedel o umoru Potterja, pa se je pripetil nocoj ponoči enak umor. Vin-cento Visconti, cvetličar, se je vozil preko Woodland mosta, ki vodi preko Pennsylvania železniške proge, ko ga je nekdo s puško ustrelil v vrat. Njegov avtomobil se je prevrnil in padel preko mostne ograje navzdol na železniško progo. Ko so J pozneje dobili Viscontija, je bil že mrtev.

London, 25. junija. Bivši vrhovni poveljnik ameriške armade v Franciji tekom svetovne vojne, general Pershing, je pravkar priobčil posebno knjigo, v kateri opisuje svoje skušnje tekom svetovne vojne, in se v knjigi nič kaj ugodno ne izjavlja o angleški armadi, kar mu je angleško časopisje seveda zelo zamerilo. "London Post" odgovarja na izvajanja generala Pershinga, ki pravi, da so zavezniške armade v letu 1918 se nahajale na zelo nizkem moralnem stališču, da ta trditev ni samo robata, pač pa tudi dokazano nepravična, časopis "The Daily Mail" izjavlja, da angleški voditelji niso nikdar kritizi-

Na Klauso-vi farmi sta se do danes nahajala tudi čestitljiva Mr. in Mrs. Klaus, oče in mati Frank Klau? sa, ki sta še oba pri dobrem zdravju, dasi sta videla že nad ,80 let. — Pri Frank Gruberju so preteklo sredo ves dan "lce-nali" lepe jagode. Pomagala je Mrs. Debevc, in zato Mr. Primož Kogoj, glavni tajnik Zveze, ter Mr. in Mrs. Perdan, ki sta se nahajala v spremstvu repor-terja teh vrstic v sredo popoldne na "farmah," niso dobili večerje. Iz zadrege je pomaga: la, Klausova garaža, ki šteje danes veliko manj poštenih kranjskih klobas kot v sredo dopoldne. — Pri Antonu Cuglju rastejo, oziroma rodijo najboljše češnje v devetih farah. Kdor ne verjame, naj gre pogledat.

VERIŽNE TRGOVINE iN NJIH PROBLEM
"Verižne trgovine so na vsak način in v vsakem pogledu podobne trustu. Polagoma izpodriva trust manjše industrije, in ko je enkrat dobil kontrolo, tedaj umetno dvigne cene, ker je absoluten gospodar na dotičnem polju. In verižne trgovine, ki se danes ugotavljajo samo v prodaji živeža, bodo kmalu prešle tudi na#drugo polje, in bodo v kratkem izpodrinile neodvisne zdravnike, zobozdravnike, lekarnarje in druge profesioniste. Dvajset let nazaj nihče ni verjel, da je prohibicija mogoča, danes jo imamo z vsemi slabimi posledicami.
"Na isti način bo tudi prišel verižni poklic profesioni-stov, ako ameriški narod ne bo imel odprtih oči. Verižna industrija je kot oktopus ,ki stega svoje strašne kremplje po vsaki neodvisnosti v trgovini, da jo zaduši. Že danes n. pr. imamo celo vrsto verižnih trgovin za očala. Izučeni optometristi, ki so bili prej sami .svoji gospodarji, so danes le še navadni prodajalci za verižnike, dobivajo plačo kot navadni pisarji ter nimajo nobene samostojnosti. 1 "Prav tako se bo tudi zgodilo, da bodo verižna podjetja odprla svoje klinike za zobozdravništvo in zdravništvo. Nastavljeni bodo profesionisti, ki bodo dobivali gotovo plačo, izvršili svoje delo, malomarno ali površno, pa šli domov, ne da bi imeli osebno skrb in ponos, da zdravijo pravilno in simpatetično. Tako bo zopet zginilo tisoče profesionistov, ki kot neodvisni v svojem poklicu lahko nerede silno koristnega za človeško družbo, dočim kot plačani uslužbenci industrializiranega verižništva bodo enostavno otopeli v svojem znanju.
"In ravno tako kot so neodvisni trgovci pronašli, da ne morejo konkurirati z verižnimi trgovinami, ravno tako bodo prišli tudi profesionisti do istega prepričanja. Ve-ližni znajo organizirati tudi odvetnike. In nekega dne borno .čitali oglase v ameriških časopisih: "Extra! Razprodaja! Razporoke so danes, v pondeljek, 1. julija, 1940, po iz-vanredno .znižani ceni. Redna cena je $75.00, danes na razprodaji pa $10.00!
"Pa vse to končno ne bi bilo še tako slabo, kot dejstvo verižna industrija koncentrira ali osredotočuje bogastvo v rokah posameznikov. Več verižnih trgovin, več siromakov, dočim se bo denar zbiral v rokah kapitalistov. Posamezne eksistence bodo uničene, pomagati si ne bodo mogle naprej, ker imajo preslab zaslužek, svojih trgovin radi kom-peticije verižnikov ne bodo mogli odpirati. V tem obstoji največja nevarnost, ki jo nudijo verižne trgovine.
"Največja država na svetu je bilo svoje dni rimsko cesarstvo. Obsegal je svoje dni ves tedaj poznani svet. Toda to ogromno cesarstvo je takoj propadlo, kakor hitro je premoženje tega cesarstva prišlo v roke in kontrolo pet procentov oseb, dočim je ostalih 95 procentov stradalo. Tako je z verižnimi trgovinami. Bogastvo se kopiči v rokah nekaterih, pomočniki v teh trgovinah so pa skrajno slabo plačani ljudje.
"Primer tozadevno je brez števila v zgodovini. Grška je bila nekdaj velesila, ki je segala po svetu. Bogastvo je prešlo v posest maloštevilnih posameznikov, in ogromna država je propadla. Enako se je zgodilo s Kartagino. Nabrala si je preveč bogastva, dobila gospodstvo maloštevilnih, pa je propadla, ker :je narod hiral, da je moglo nekaj ljudi sijajno uspeVati.
"Kot trdi senator Borah lastuje danes štiri procente prebivalcev Zedinjenih držav 80 procentov vsega premo ženja. Bližamo se nevarni točki koncentracije narodnega premoženja v rokah maloštevilnih, in ravno verižne trgovine to osredotočenje narodnega bogastva najbolj pospešujejo, in ko se verižništvo širi tudi na druga polja, se bli žamo koncu neodvisnosti in propasti posameznikov. Ako se bo ta koncentracija nadaljevala, tedaj zadene mogočno Ameriko in njeno civilizacijo ista strašna usoda kot je zadela rimsko ter grško cesarstvo.
"Poleg vsega tega ,kar smo doslej omenili pa verižne trgovine, ne da bi se tega zavedale, toda z vso gotovostjo delajo pot za svoje lastno uničenje v socialističnem ali komunističnem eksperimentu. Ko bodo verižne trgovine izpodrinile vse lokalne trgovce, tedaj bo nastalo vprašanje:
"Ako je koristno in dobro, da se ruinira lokalne trgovce s tem, da ljudje kupujejo v verižnih trgovinah, ker navidez prodajajo cenejše, dasi to ni resnica, zakaj pa ne bi končno verižne trgovine pognali iz businessa, ki delajo tako ogromne profite. in bi vlada sama prevzela prodajo vseh potrebščin? To bi bila smrt ne samo za posameznike pač pa tudi za lastnike vseh verižnih trgovin."
(Pride še.)
jih je zibala njih mamica!
Kako človeka vzradosti in razveseli srce, ko zopet zagleda svojo domovino, svoje domače, svoje ljube starše, če jih še ima. Res je, da je tuka'j v Ameriki prijetno življenje na farmah, ali niti na pol tako kot v starem krju na polju in po gozdovih.
Vsem. tistim, ki, so že šli ali ki bodo šli v staro domovino, želim srečno pot t je in nazaj in mnogo zabave onkraj morja. Toda, kakor vse kaže, počasi bomo šli menda kar vsi nazaj čez lužo, ker nam tukaj slabo obetajo. Vendar, pregovor pravi, da po dežju vedno solnce sije in da po slabem pride zopet boljše. To se je še vselej izkazalo kot resnica in se bo tudi sedaj.
Po mestih pa ne bo menda nikoli dosti prida, zato naj bi si rojaki rajši kupili kako farmo in boste videli, da vam ne bo nikoli zmanjkalo dela, kalcc ga meni ne. Ampak pomislimo.
kako smo delali v starem kraju na polju: od ranega jutra do poznega vtečera. Pa smo bili vseeno zadovoljni in zdravi. Tudi v Ameriki na farmah si človek napravi dobro življenje, če se potrudi. Ako obiščete enega ali drugega slovenskega far-merja, pa boste videli, kako so zadovoljni in veseli.
Sem na farmo lahko pridete na počitnice, se boste pozdravili, če ste se kaj prehladih pozimi v mestu. Gorki solnčni žarki in sveži zrak je bolje za vas, kot zdravila vsega sveta. Danes je že toliko gorko, da se človek že lahko ogleda za hladno senčico, v kateri si nekoliko oddahne.
če je katerega volja, lahko pride na počitnice k meni, na mojo farmo. Imamo dovolj prostora in vsak bo preživel tukaj lepe čase in bo imel dovolj zabave. Nasvidenje in pozdrave vsem skupaj.

CAPONE, CAR NIŽIN, JE DOIGRAL
Samo en dober teden še do ve-1 dobro, da je le slovensko. Šola likanskega piknika fare sv. Lov-j se vrši vsak dan zjutraj ob 9. renca. 5. julija se bodo zbrali j razven v soboto in nedeljo, ljudje vseh narodov in vetrov.j Iz daljne Minnesote so prišli Prišli bodo v Maple Gardens na na obisk \ Mr. in Mrs. Andrew
izlet in "pav-vav," kakor pravijo Indijanci konvenciji ali shodu. Toraj ljudje, Slovenci in Slovani, naš veliki shod je 5. julija v Maple Gardens, tam v hladni senci pod košatimi drevesi ob gulažu in — well, že veste, kaj gre z gulažem kot pijača.
Prihodnjo nedeljo, 28. junija se bodo zbrali tam vsi prijatelji in delničarji Slov. Narod. Doma iz Maple Heights. Ta "Dom"' dobro napreduje in ne bo dolgo, da bo Dom v resnici stal, ter jim služil za razne prireditve in seje. Sedaj pa je še samo organizacija. Vabljeni ste vsi na piknik v nedeljo, da se na ta način Dom »tem preje uresniči.
Slovenska šola se je pričela ta teden s tako velikim navalom ukaželjnih Slovencev in Slovenk, da smo morali tri šolske sebe odpreti. Ker nimamo zadosti knjig, nam pride v uporabo mesto knjig Ameriška Do-
Blenkush. Mrs. Blenkush je sestra Dr. Omana in teta od Mrs. Frank Shuster, Garfield Heights. Z njima sta prišla tudi Valentin in Genevieve Blenkush, brat in sestra* od Mr,s. Shuster. Vsi se dobro počutijo in se zanimajo za razne veliko-mestne gradbe in naprave. Obiskali so tudi Niagara Falls, ki je že itak svetovno občudovan. V pondeljek se obiskovalci povrnejo nazaj v St. Stephen, Minn., kjer jih čaka veliko delo na senožetih in druga far-merska dela.
K družini Frank Jastrab je prišla za stalno nova bordarica. Jean, Marie, katero so z veseljem sprejeli. Edward Sefronek in Angela Bradač iz 80. ceste sta jo prinesla h krstu.
Pri Joseph Kastelčevih ha'81. se vesele malega Bernarda. Pravijo, da bo šomašter, če še kaj več ne. Anton Travnik in soproga sta pa priče, da je Bernard res kristjan postal. Seveda, seveda, saj se razume, če-

Geneva, O.—No, sedaj se pa zopet enkrat oglasim, da boste vedeli, kje da sem. Mogoče so že nekateri mislili, da sem šel v staro domovino. Pa nisem šel, ampak sem na farmah v Genevi Ako bi vsi tako malokdaj pisali v liste, bi bilo malo za čitat. Moram reci, da je Ameriška
Domovina najboljši list za ameriške Slovence. Vedno čitam dovolj novic in dopisov v tem listu, in zadnji teden sem bral, koliko naših rojakov je odšlo v staro domovino na obisk. Oh. kako so srečni, da bodo po dolgih letih zopet videli tisti kraj. kjer jim je tekla zibelka, kjer
Zadnjo soboto smo se zopet urili v streljanju na lončene golobe. Kot spodaj razvidno, nismo kaj preveč dobro streljali, ampak prepričan sem, da imajo naši fantje dobro voljo poboljšati se; seveda, to ne bo dosti pomagalo, kajti na 4. julija imamo tekmo z Euclid Rifle in Rainbow Hunting Cluba. Zadnjo soboto smo pa imeli zadnjo vajo (pred tekmo). Mogoče še ne bo toliko hudega pri tekmi, kako se bodo člani zato pripravili, to je, da bodo prišli na bojno polje s trezno glavo in mirno roko, pa tudi hladno kri mora človek imeti ako hoče goloba zadeti. Naš jager, Joe Kren, se je na zadnji vaji tako razburil, da je mislil, da letijo fazani po zraku ne pa golobi, in kadar ni zadel, se je izgovarjal, da je bila samica in da je iste prepovedano streljati. Torej kot že omenjeno, bo dan 4. julija velik praznik elevelandskih jagrov in žal mi je, da ne morem reči ohijskih, ker tudi v Barbertonu imajo lovski klub, vendar pa nisem pooblaščen Barbertončane na, tekmo vabit, kajti na zadnji seji ni nobeden naših članov kaj natančnega vedel o tem klubu in zato tudi ne morem uradno vabiti na tekmo. Vendar bi nas jako veselilo, ako nas barberton-ski jagri obiščejo o priliki tekme in piknika na dan ameriške neodvisnosti. Kot sem v zadnjem poročilu pisal, se tekma prične točno ob 10. uri predpol-dne. Dve uri bomo nepreneho-
nato bomo malo si duše privezali
ma streljali, pojužinali in (s špago ali s čim drugim), nato se bo pa streljanje nadaljevalo do končne zmage oziroma poraza (kakor bo pač komu sreča mila). Izven lovcev in njih družin, nam bo dobrodošel vsak rojak ali rojakinja, kdor se zanima za tekmo in kdor ljubi dobro zabavo v splošnem. Kajti po tekmi bomo skupno odkorakali na naš piknik, kjer nam (in vam) tudi ne bo ničesar manjkalo. Biti če svega i sva-šta (kakor reče brat Hrvat). Rezerviranih prostorov sicer ne bo, ampak zato pa tudi ne bomo nobene vstopnine zahtevali. Kdor bo prej prišel, ta bo prvi in ako bo za koga prostora zmanjkalo, naj si sam sebi pripiše. Na seji so naši fantje sklenili, da se ne nabavi preveč jedače in drugih dobrot, ker danes so slabi ^časi, pač pa mora biti vsakega nekaj in sicer toliko, da bomo vsi siti in da bo še en malo ostalo. Kdor ne bo na našem pikniku zadovoljen, naj se pritoži pri Jožetu Pograjcu in on mu povrne dvojno vstopnino. Sledeče velja pa za rojake živeče na St. Clairju: Kdor misli priti na naš piknik, naj nikar ne' vozi na 4. julija med csmo in deveto uro zjutraj po Lake Shore Blvd. kajti ta čas se bo Andy Kaučnik tam vozil in ne bo preveč varno za druge mašine. Kaučnik si je namreč naprej vzel da' mora enkrat eno mašino udarit, češ, da se bo na
Mesto Chicago se je globoko oddehnilo in pričelo gledati v lepšo bodočnost. Al Capone, vsemogočni car gangežev in utelešen simbol organiziranega zločinstva, se nahaja v zagati in čaka ga dolgoletna ječa.
Ena največjih stvari, kar jih je doseglo mesto Chicago, odkar mu županuje naš slovanski brat, Čeh čer mak, je dejstvo, da se je naredilo konec zločinstvom tega proslulega bandita. Več kakor vse drugo, je vredno moralno zadoščenje, ki ga ima mesto in ž njim vred vse Zedinje-ne države, ker se je izkazalo, da Capone ni nedotakljiv, kakor so domnevali vsi ban,ditje in rake-tirji in ž njimi vred tudi na milijone poštenih državljanov. Capone je zdaj pred sodiščem, pred katerim se bo moral zagovarjati radi neplačevanja dohodninskega« davka in radi kršitve prohibicijske postave.
Državni p r a v d n i k George Johnson je že prej spravil pred sodišče nekaj Caponejevih pod-poveljnikov radi neplačevanja dohodninskega davka in drugih prestopkov, toda vse to ni bilo nič v primeri z napeto radovednostjo, ki jo je kazalo ljudstvo, kateremu se niti sanjalo ni, da se bo potresel i sam tron, na katerem je sedel vsemogočni car Capone. In neverjetno se je zgodilo!
Predstavljajte si vsemogočnega Caponeja, ki je imel za vse sodnike in njihove postave le preziren nasmeh, stoječega v svoji elegantni, d'ragi obleki p r e d državnim pravdnikom s sklonjeno glavo, cločim njegove ustnice komaj slišno šepečejo: "Priznam, da sem kriv!" Na eni strani Capone s svojim surovim obrazom, pred njim pa slabotna p o s t a va državnega pravdnika Johnsona, z obrazom gentlemana.' In v tej slabotni postavi državnega pravdnika je prvikrat v zgodovini Caponeje-v^ga življenja združena sila in moč, kateri prosluli car gangežev in morilcev ni bil kos. Državni pravdnik je poosebljen predstavnik vsega, kar je zakonito in pošteno, Capone pa poosebljen predstavnik vsega zla, ki razjeda človeško družbo.
Pred letom dni' bi se vsak Chikažan smejal človeku, ki bi mu hotel v duhu naslikati to sliko, ko stoji Capone s sklonjeno glavo pred sodnikom, odnosno pred državnim,pravdnikom. Zakaj Capone je bil nedotakljiv! Ali ni morda "mazal" povsod, kjer je videl potrebo mazanja? Ali ni kupil vseh uradnikov, ki jih je postavilo ljudstvo na njih mesta? Ali ni bil on najsilnej--ši in najmočnejši raketir vseh časov? Nemogoče se je zgodilo!
»
Težko je prerokovati bodočnost, toda toliko je gotovo, da je Capone izigran ter da ne bo nikoli več zasedel prestola gangežev v Chicagu in prestola nižinskega sveta V splošnem. Državni pravdnik Johnson je pokazal in naglasil dejstvo, da je glavno, kar vzdržuje raketir ja na površini, njegova nedotakljivost. Od vzemite mu to nedotakljivost, pokažite mu, da on ni vzvišen nad postavo, pa se zruši ves njegov prestiž. In Capone to dobro ve, zato tudi ne smatra sedanjega sodnega postopanja za nobeno šalo.
se je sam priznal krivega, pa se pričakuje zanj mnogo milejšo kazen; govorica gre, ki sicer ni uradna, da dobi od dve do štiri leta ječe.
"Njegova obsodba bo povzročila, da se zlomi sindikat, ki je kontroliral hazardne igralnice, prodajo piva in žganja ter prostitucijo," je izjavil Robert Randolph, predsednik trgovske zbornice in glavar organizacije "Tajne šestorice," ki si je nadela za nalogo borbo proti organiziranemu zločinstvu. "Capone je bil priznan glavar sindikata ki je kontroliral te nezakonitosti v Chicagu in tudi v mnogi! drugih mestih.
"Toda obsodba sama ne bo zlomila njegove organizacije Njegova organizacija je ohromela, ni pa ubita. Pričakovati je, da bo zdaj nastala kompeti-cija med gangeži, ki bo vodila do nadaljnih umorov. Dokler bo možno delati tako ogromna doziček s prodajo opojnih pijač, moremo pričakovati, da se bo pijača prodajala tudi nadalje. Treba je, da z započetim delom neustrašeno nadaljujemo in pred sodišče moramo spraviti tudi ostale zločince.
"Kompeticija bo vodila do nadaljnih pobojev med nižinskim svetom. Preden je postal Capone priznani car gangežev, smo imeli v Chicagu več zločinskih gang. Tako smo imeli "gango severne strani," "gango južne strani" in "gango zapad-ne strani," ki so druga drugo pobijale in klale.
"Capone pa je odpravil medsebojno kompeticijo s tem, da je dal glavarje nasprotnih gang enostavno postreliti in masak-r i rati, ali pa jih je kupil, če mu je tako bolje "kazalo. Zdaj je izvajal Capone tako popolno kontrolo nad vsemi prostori v Chicagu, kjer se prodaja opojna pijača, da tudi če bi hotel lastnik prostora sam variti svoje pivo, bi moral svoj dobiček deliti s Caponejem."
Splošno se sodi, da je Capone-ju samemu dovolj njegovega vladarstva in da se ga želi iz-nebiti. To je tudi. eden izmed vzrokov, da se je Capone sam priznal za krivega. "Capone ima dovolj denarja, varno skritega in spravljenega, s katerim bo lahko dobro in udobno živel, kadar pride iz ječe," je še pripomnil Randolph. "Sedanji zapor mu je dobrodošel, nakar bo stopil "v pokoj."
Govori se (ampak tega, jaz nisem nikdar trdil), da smo pod tem lepim božjim solncem vsi enaki. Jaz pa pravim: eno figo smo vsi enaki, mačkino. Na primer: ko je pred par dnevi angleški princ obhajal po nesrečnem naklučju svoj 37. rojstni dan (česar ni sam kriv), se pa je spomnilo vse svetovno časopisje (tudi slovensko). In se mi čudno zdi, da ni pri tem važnem dogodku mrknilo ali vsaj pomežiknilo solnce, ali pa vsaj luna.
Kadar je pa moj rojstni dan, pa dobim kvečjem kak "telefon kol," pa še tistega najbrže iz samega firbca, cla bi povedal "ta kateri rojstni dan že obhajam." Kako da smo potem vsi enaki? In če nisem jaz toliko vreden, kot angleški princ, naj me koklja brcne. Še več! Stavim en dajm, da nisem jaz tolikokrat s konja padel, kot on. In niti ne menjam ž njim, pa mi lahko še toliko da pridala.
Ajbečjurlajf, da ni fant rad videl tistih oznanil v časopisju. Kaj mora ves svet trobiti, da je že 37 let star! Ktera ga bo pa marala pri teh letih? Kadar enkrat odbrenka 35, takrat je že precej odklenkalo. Jaz vsaj že zadnjih 14 let vedno trdim, "da sem jih trideset proč."
GANDHI NASTOPI BOSONOG PRED ANGLEŠKIM KRALJEM "
Iz Borsada, v Indiji, se poroča z dne 11. junija: Mahatma Ganhi, indijski narodni voditelj, bo odpotoval sredi avgusta meseca iz Indije, da se udeleži velike anglo-indske konference, ki se bo vršila v Londonu. Gandhi je izjavil časnikarjem, da bo za časa, ko bo bival v Londonu, stanoval med najrevnejšim londonskim prebivalstvom, med najbednejšimi izmed bednih, v londonskem East Endu. Prebival bo v mali'podstrešni sobici, dočim bodo ostali indijski delegatje stanovali v krasnih palačah angleškega plemstva.

Matic Križman mi je zatrdil, da bo Joža Pograjc v nedelio pripeljal na piknik društva Ribnica pravega slona. Baje je zglihal zadnji teden s cirkusom, ki je bil v Clevelandu zadnji teden in so mu enega bolj ta malega pustili. Pograjc ga bo na pikniku kazal, potem ga bo"' pa prodal Keržiču, da bo oral žnjim (ne s Pograjcem, ampak s slonom). Matic pravi, da je vse to res, ker mu je Pograjc še mešetarijo dolžan. Na Ker-žičeve farme bo peljal Jože slona ponoči in je že kupil rdečo luč, da jo bo privezal slonu na rep, da se ga bodo avtomobili-sti ogibali. Piknik bo v nedeljo, Pograjc bo šel od doma pa že danes večer, pa bomo nekako vsi kmalu tam. Kako bo s slona prišel, to si predstavljam, ampak kako bo nanj zlezel, me skrbi.

To veste, da ima Jože Zalo-kar strašno lep vrt. In tudi glajšta ga, da je veselje pogledat. že pred enim mesecem je vsadil in vsejal razno zelenjad, in tudi kumare. Potem je pa hodil vsako jutro na vrt gledat, kako kaj poganja. Najprej je pokukala ven solata, potem fižol, redkvica, čebulca, korenček, peteršilček in koruza. Samo v gredi, kjer je vsejal kumarce, se ni nič ganilo. Jože čaka en teden, čaka dva, čaka tri — kumare ni cd nikoder. Kadarkoli je pripovedoval o svojem lepem vrtu, nikdar ni pozabil pristaviti : "Vse je orajt, samo te hudičeve kumare nočejo pognati!" Strašno ga je skrbelo in celo brskal je po zemlji za kumarca-mi. Malo je manjkalo, da ni zbolel same skrbi nad kumarami. "Ne bo drugače," je rekel pn mesec potem, ko je vsejal kumarce, "da grem po novo seme." In res se naplavi, da bo šel kupit seme. Ko pa slači ta pametne hlače (overalls), mu padejo iz žepa trije zavojčki kumarčnega semena, katerega je mislil, da ga je vsejal, pa ga je pozabil. In še vse to bi se pozabilo, ampak to ga sedaj jezi, ko je skozi ves mesec tako pridno prilival kumarcam.
Le vprašajte ga o kumarcah, kadar ga boste obiskali v njegovih lepih prostorih na 911 Addison Rd.
Marcus Kavanagh:
MOŽ, KI GA NISO MOGLI OBESITI
Slučaj, ki ga bom tukaj opisal, se mi zdi edini te vrste, ki so se že kedaj pripetili na sod-niji v zgodovini civilizacije. Cenjenemu bravcu se bo morda zdela stvar neverjetna, toda je resnična in je zabilježena v sodnijskih aktih londonske sod-nije.
Kaj si misli obsojenec, ki stoji pod vislicami, zvezanih nog in rok? Kaj se godi v njegovi notranjosti, ko mu potegnejo čez obraz črno kapo, ko živi zadnje trenutke na tem svetu, ko ga loči samo kratek sunek na vzmetna vratca pod njegovimi nogami od tega sveta, od katerega se gotovo tako težko loči. . .
Kolikor jaz kot sodnik vem, je bil samo en človek na svetu, ki je lahko sam opisal te svoje utise pod vislicami in ta človek je bil John Lee iz Torquaja v Angliji. To se mu je prigodilo 24. februarja 1885. Od tega časa pa do svoje naravne smrti, leta 1929 (umrl je v Zedinjenih državah), ni nikdar zamudil prilike, da je pripovedoval o. tem svojem "dogodku." In v vseh teh štiridesetih letih ni bilo ene noči, da ne bi skočil iz svojih mučnih sanj pokonci, ves poten in tresoč se po vsem telesu.
Oče mu je umrl v rani mladosti in Johna Lee so imeli sosedje za malo prikrajšanega na pameti. Bil je šibke postave in temne kože. če bi danes stal pred kakim ameriškim sodnikom za ta ali oni prestopek, bi ga sodnik gotovo prej dal preiskati po kakem dušeslovcu, predno bi ga obsodil.
Ko je bil star šestnajst let, se je vpisal v mornarico, od koder je bil pa kmalu odpuščen radi slabega zdravja. Njegova polsestra Elizabeth je služila pri neki bogati vdovi, ki se je mladega in slabotnega Johna usmilila in ga vzela za slugo. Ko je bil komaj par mesecev v službi, j«e svoji gospodinji ukradel gitaro in jo prodal. Gospodinja ga je hotela spoditi, toda fant jo je tako goreče prosil, naj mu prizanese, da mu je od-v pustila njegov pregrešek, ga bbdržala v službi, toda mu od njegove plače odtrgovala, dokler ne bo plačana ukradena gitara,
Dne 14. novembra 1885. je pa posegla usoda v življenje Johna Lee. Njegovo gospodinjo, bogato in spoštovano v vsej okolici, so našli tega dne zjutraj v njeni spalnici umorjeno, strahovito razmesarjeno s sekiro. Morilec je hotel tudi zažgati hišo, a se ogenj ni prijel.
Sum je takoj padel na Johna Lee in je bil aretiran. Trdil je, da je nedolžen, toda bilo je oh-težilno zanj, ker je poprej že ukradel svoji gospodinji gitaro in ker policija ni mogla sumiti nikogar drugega umora, posebno ker iz hiše ni bilo ničesar ukradenega, torej so Johna obtožili, da je gospodinjo umoril iz maščevanja, ker mu je odtrgovala od plače za ukradeno gitaro,
Bil je star takrat ravno dvajset let. Pri obravnavi se je vedel popolnoma brezbrižno, samo zatrjeval je, da je popolnoma nedolžen. Toda vse okoliščine so govorile proti njemu in porota ga je spoznala krivim umora prve vrste. Sodnik ga je obsodil na vislice in obešen naj bi bil že čez tri tedne.
Molče je poslušal John Lee obsodbo in ko je sodnik končal, je rekel:
"čudili ste se, da sem bil tako ravnodušen pri obravnavi. Povem vam zakaj: zato, ker sem nedolžen, česar me dolžite. Sam Bog ve, da sem nedolžen, zato tudi ne bom dopustil, da bi me oblast obesila. V Njega zaupam, ker vem, da me bo rešil."
Odpeljali so ga v ječo. živa duša ga ni obiskovala, kot jet-niški kaplan, ki ga je nagovarjal, naj se spravi z Bogom, ker njegove ure so štete. John pa ni hotel ničesar slišati o tem,
in je venomer trdil, da je nedolžen in da je trdno prepričan, da ga ne bodo obesili.
Smrtna obsodba se je imela izvršiti 24. februarja ob osmih zjutraj. Par dni poprej je prišel krvnik iz Londona s svojimi pomočniki, ki je postavil na dvorišču jetnišnice vislice. Obsojenec je opazoval vse to skozi okno, a je ostal brezbrižen za vse to. Na predvečer ga je jet-niški kaplan ponovno prosil, naj se spravi z Bogom, a John je ostal trdovraten in je samo odgovarjal:
"Kaj vam nisem že sto in stokrat povedal, da me ne bodo obesili! čemu torej silite vame !"
Deževalo je močno zadnje štiri dni, toda kljub temu so bile ulice polne občinstva v jutro eksekucije. Vsak je hotel videti, kako bodo obešali morilca.
Par miiiut pred osmo so prišli ponj. Zvezali so mu roke in ga peljali k vislicam. . .
Od tukaj dalje vam bo pa Lee sam povedal, kako se je stvar razvijala:
'Ko smo stopali po hodniku in je jetniški kaplan molil naprej litanije, mu nisem odgovarjal, dasi so mi besede suvale v srce. Bil sem prepričan, da ne bom obešen. Ko sem stal pod vislicami, mi je donelo na ušesa vpitje množice, sem pa tja roganje, smeh in pikre pripombe. Zazeblo me je v srce. Krvnik mi je zvezal tudi noge trdno skupaj in sem si mislil: "Bog, čemu odlašaš z rešitvijo! Zadnji čas je, da mi prideš na pomoč!" Ozrl sem se po ljudeh doli pod vislicami. Bilo jih je mnogo tam, ki sem jih poznal od mladega. Toda na nobenem obrazu nisem videl kakega usmiljenja. Nekateri so se mi celo režali v obraz. Toda nisem se bal.
Krvnik mi je dal vrv okoli vratu in zobje so mi začeli šklo-potati, dasi sem jih stisnil trdo skupaj. Srce v prsih me je hotelo razgnati. Kaj se bo zgodilo v prihodnjem trenutku? Pričel se mse bati. Dali so mi črno kapo čez glavo in ničesar več nisem videl od tega lepega sveta.
Tedaj sem čutil, da je nekaj narobe z vzmetnimi vratci, na katerih sem stal. Krvnik in njegovi pomočniki so dajali naglo razna povelja. Slišal sem množico, ki je začela razburjeno kričati. Pahnili so me proč od vratic. Tedaj sem zakričal: "Odvzemite mi vsaj kapo, saj se bom zadušil!" Tedaj sem slišal šerifa, ki je rekel: "Odvzemite mu kapo in ga peljite na zaj v njegovo celico. Pravico imamo obesiti ga, toda ne zadušiti!"
Odvezali so me in me peljali nazaj v ječo. V ušesih mi je bobnelo in v glavi se mi je vr-tilo. Ampak bil sem grozno vesel. V svoji celici sem padel na posteljo, bled kot smrt in tresoč se po vsem telesu.
In kaj se je bilo zgodilo,? Ko je hotel krvnik potegniti vzmef, da bi se sprožila vratica, na katerih sem stal in da bi jaz obvisel na vrvi, vzmet ni hotela delovati. Krvnik je delal na vzmeti pol ure in končno izjavil, da so vratica vt redu. In čez pol ure pridejo ponovno po mene. "Kaj?" se začudim, "ali hočete grešiti zoper božjo previdnost? Zoper božjo voljo hočete delati?"
Toda vse ni nič pomagalo, peljali so me ponovno na vislice. Zopet so mi zvezali noge in roke in deli črno kapo čez glavo. Toda čudež vseh čudežev! Najsi se je krvnik še toliko trudil, vratca se niso hotela sprožiti. Zopet so me odpeljali nazaj v ječo in krvnik si je zopet ogledal vzmet. Pritisnil je na pero in vratica so delovala per-fektno.
V tem je pa šerif brzojavil justičnemu ministru in mu vso stvar pojasnil, ta je pa brzojavil nazaj, naj se nadaljuje z eksekucijo. Krvniki pridejo
zopet v mojo celico, da me odpeljejo na'vislice.
"Kaj? Ali nimate nobene pameti?" zavpijem. "Kljub temu, kar se je zgodilo, me hočete ponovno obešati! Ali ne veste, da me ne morete obesiti, ker vam višja sila tega ne pusti!"
Toda krvniki so me vzeli pod pazduho ter me peljali proti vislicam. Vest o neuspehu obešanja in nenavadnih okoliščinah, se je raznesla po vsem mestu. Tovarne in trgovine so zaprli in vse je drlo k vislicam. Toda javno mnenje se je sedaj obrnilo. Ljudstvo je začelo godrnjati in čuli so se klici, da se me mora spustiti. Jetniki v ječi so začeli grozno tuliti nad nepravičnostjo sodnije in žugati, da razdenejo ječo.
Jaz sem bil pa tudi s svojimi močmi pri koncu in dva stražnika sta me morala držati, ko mi je del tretjič krvnik vrv okoli vratu. Nihče ni več dvomil, da bodo vratica sedaj brezhibno delovala. Smrt je neizogibna.
Toda — tudi tretjič so se vratica trdovratno uprla in se niso hotela odpreti. Celih pet minut se je krvnik trudil, da jih sproži, zastonj. V tem pa sem jaz prebil prave peklenske muke. Ljudje so vpili in žugali in grozili, da me rešijo s silo, če se mi ne sname vrvi in odpelje nazaj v ječo.
In odpeljali so me zopet nazaj.
šerif pa se je vsedel na prvi vlak in se odpeljal v London, kjer je pri višjem sodišču pojasnil stvar, da je neka višja sila vmes, ki brani iti pravici svoja pota. še isti dan je prišel brzojav, da sem pomiloščen
v dvajsetletno ječo.'
*
V tem je krvnik tudi našel vzrok, zakaj se vratica niso hotela odpirati. Ker je skozi štiri dni močno deževalo, so se vratica napela in ko sem stopil nanje, so se zagvozdila na robu in so tako -trdno obstala na mestu. Krvnik je vzel žago in odžagal vratica ob straneh, ter izjavil, da bodo sedaj gotovo delovala. Toda v tem je že prišel brzojav za obsojenčevo pomiloščenje.	'
Dne 12. decembra 1907 je bil John Lee pomiloščen. Podjetni ljudje so ga kazali v glediščih kot največje čudo sveta, in je precej neslo. Toda kmalu se je naveličal vsega, zapustil Anglijo' ter se preselil v Zedi-njene države, kjer je pred par leti umrl.
In ni ga bilo mirnega spanja več zanj. Sredi noči je skočil pokonci, misleč, da ga hočejo odpeljati na vislice. Sicer je tudi še potem vedno trdil, da je nedolžen, toda umor ni bil nikdar pojasnjen in vse je kazalo, da je bil vendarle John Lee pravi morilec, a ga je navaden slučaj trikrat rešil smrti na vešalih.

NENAVADNE NESREČE
Neka vdova je bila ubita, ko je popravljala grob svojega moža. — Prevrnil se je nanjo nagrobni spomenik.
Nekdo je šel po cesti s cilindrom na glavi. Z nekega poslopja mu je padel na cilinder kos železa in cilinder je lastniki; odrezal eno uho.
Neki otrok v North Carolini si je pri uživanju čebule zlomi) vrat.
* V Rhode Islandu je neki moški skočil v posteljo in si pri tem zlomil vrat.
Neki moški je dobil od svoje zavarovalne družbe odškodnino za zlomljena rebra. Rebra mu je zlomila njegova dekle, ko ga je malo preveč z vnemo objela.
Neki moški je držal dekleta v naročju. Pri tem mu je ena noga zaspala. Ko je vstal, da si spravi kri v cirkulacijo, se je na nogo udaril in zavaroval-ninska družba mu je za poškodbo na nogi plačala odškodnino.
Nekdo se je udaril v nos ob nogo pri postelji. Dobil je za-strupljenje krvi in umrl. Druži na je dobila posmrtnino.
Neki farmer je padel ponoči
"Presneto, še vsakemu klobaso!" je dejal Kosmač, ko se je ugrel. "še vrečo potreseš na takile cesti, pa ne bi človeka! Jaz sem lačen. Da bi bil na svatbi lačen, nak!"
Stopili so v vežo. Matijec je ostal pri konjih in Franca na vozu.
"Hlapec novega gospodarja!" je žgalo Matijca v dušo kakor živ ogenj. "In kakšnega gospodarja!"
"Le stopi, Matijec, tudi ti, bom že jaz pazila na konje," je dejala, k6 jih je pogrnil.
"Da boš?" je uprl vanjo svoj pogled! Podal je vajeti Fran ci in stopil v vežo."
"Še eno klobaso!" je dejal Tine oštirju, ki se je bil pokazal na vratih.
"Saj res, čisto smo pozabili nanj!" je rekel Kosmač, ki je imel v roki že tretji frakelj.
"Še za hlapca!" je klical oštir v kuhinjo.
"Pravzaprav to ni res," je dejal Kosmač in se smejal. "Toda kaj si pravzaprav, ne vem! Sorodnik nisi ne njej ne njemu. In Tine bo zdaj res potreboval hlapca. Kar udinjaj se mu, da ne boš zastonj pri hiši!" je go-stobesedil. "Tako se ti poda na kozlu, če ju boš kam peljal, gospodarja in gospodinjo! Veš, Francka," je stopil na prag, "Matijec se pogaja s Tinetom za hlapca. Zdaj bo mesto pri vas prosto."
Matijec je rdel v obraz od sramu in zadrege. Da bi ne izdal svojih občutkov, se je nasmejal.
"če bo novi gospodar dobre plačal."
"Nič se ne boj, Matijec," mu fe Tine pijano obljubljal, "čiž-me boš že dobil o božiču."
"Sedaj še nisi gospodar," se je smejal Kosmač. "Nevesta ti lahko še uide. Opoldne se bomo zmenili. Da nam ne uideš, Franca!" je stopil na prag. — "Ta bi bila lepa, če bi ušla!"
"O, ne bo ne!" je samozavestno pomežiknil Tine.
"O, ti prekanjenec ti!" se je zakrohotal vsevedno Kosmač. "Da si tak prekanjenec! Zato pa plačaš še frakelj!"
In šele po petem fraki ju so sedli na voz.
In ko so šli iz Kranja in so tekli otroci v šolo, so se obešali na voz, tedaj je sunil Kosmač Tineta:
"Poglej, mati, koliko se nas pelje!"
"Presneti otroci," se je razvnela., ker ji je šel brinjevec v glavo. "Otroci, z voza!" se je razjezila ter se sklonila z voza. "Kje pa so?" se je zavedla.
Matijec je z grozo jn studom in gnevom poslušal te besede in se ozrl po Franci, ki vsa počez ležečo kravo in se močno pobil. Dobil je odškodnino od zavarovalne družbe.
V Evanstonu, 111., je voznik mlekarskega truka ustavil na gasolinski postaji, da natoči ga-solin. Pri tem je vozniku padla iz rok cigareta in mu zažgala konec suknje, ki je bil napo-jen z gasolinom. Prestrašeni voznik je strgal gorečo obleko raz sebe in jo vrgel od sebe. Po nesreči jo je vrgel v rep blizu tam stoječega konja. Konj je zamahnil z repom in vrgel gorečo suknjo v kup sena. Seno je začelo goreti in zgorelo je bližnje gospodarsko poslopje, omenjeni mlekarski truk, štirje avtomobili in dva vozova.
Nekateri pravijo, da prinese srečo, če se pribije konjsko podkev nad vrata,. To je storil tudi James Murray v New Roch-elle, N. Y. Ko je stopil drugi dan skozi vrata, mu je padla podkev na glavo in mu prebila lobanjo.
greznjena v svoje misli ni pazila na pogovor.
"Tak udari, Matijec, da bodo šli otroci od voza!" je ponovil Kosmač.
Matijca je pogrela ta pijana nesramnost.
"čakaj, dedec nemarni!"
In je oplazil z bičem, kakor da podi otroke, pa je užgal možakarja z vso silo po glavi z bičevnikom.
"Ali boš!" se je razjezil.
"Presneto!" se je prijel za čelo kmet ter lovil klobuk, ki mu ga je zbil. "To pa ni po pravi strani!"
"Tak pazi, Matijec!" se je raztogotil Tine. "Mahaš okoli kakor krava z repom. Ali vas je hudo?"
"Po otrocih sem zamahnil," je mirno dejal Matijec. "Zdaj boš pa vendar tiho, dedec nemarni," si je mislil.
In Kosmač si je tiščal čelo ter tipal, ali mu oteka pod lasmi.
Franca se je bila iztrgala iz svojih misli, ujela Matijčev pogled in vse razumela. Sama hvaležnost je bila v njenih očeh.
In so molčali'do Brezi j.
Ura je udarila tričetrt na deset, ko so se ustavili pred cerkvijo.
Ko je Matijec spravil konje, ga je Kosmač že iskal.
"Zdaj pa le hitro, pater že čaka."
Stopila sta v cerkev, Franca je klečala v klopi ter molila vroča, vsa zatopljena vase, in solze so ji tiščale v oči.
"Ponjo stopi," je dejal boter.
Matijec je stopil h klopi.
"Francka!"
Franca se je zdrznila. Ko .fe uprla svoj pogled, v njegove ža lostne, usmiljenja polne oči, jo je stisnilo pri srcu. In noge so ji bile težke kot svinec.
"Kaj bo iz tega, Matijec?" je dahnila s strašno grozo na licu, vsa prepadla in izmučena in bleda kot smrt. "Kaj bo iz tega?'
"Name se nasloni, Francka!" je zaprosil tiho in nežno, "čakajo nas!"
Naslonila se je nanj ter stopila par korakov po cerkvi; nato ji je zaplesala cerkev v strašnem vrtincu pred očmi in Matijec je začutil vso težo svojega, telesa na svoji desnici.
"čez zadnji prag!" ji je zaživelo v mislih. "Zadnji prag," in nato so se zihedle misli in njenega srca se je polotila nepopisna sladkost. Vsa bridkost je izginila, sama radost, sama blaženost je bila v njeni duši. Čutila je, da je nevesta, a ni razločila, kdo jo pelje do oltarja. Ali Matijec, ali France! In je občutila usmiljenje z Ma-tijcem in se je France spremenil v Matijca. čutila je, da. jo nekdo nese, in se ji je zdelo, da se je privila k njemu kot otrok, vsa vroča, blodna in srečna. Nevesta novoporočena!"
"Matijec, moj mož!" je vriskalo v njeni duši. "Sladki moj varuh, ali si me iztrgal?"
Vse to je trajalo en hip, nato jo je zagrnila tema.
Zavedela se je, ko so jo močili v gostilni.
"Kje sem?" je vprašala in slišala Kosmača. "Pa brez zajtrka, toliko ur vožnje! Ni čuda, pa še takšna! ženske ste brez pameti! Hvala Bogu, sedaj je že bolje! Ne bo še umrla, ne!" je tolažil Tineta, ki je nejevoljen stal ob strani, "čez par minut, pa bo. Vročega čaja ji dajte, da si opomore."
In Franca si je čez par minut opomogla in šla z Matijcem pred oltar. Nemo, tiho, vdano.
Matijec se še ni otresel svojih misli, ki so se mu burno križale po možganih, ko se je že obrnil' v zakristijo.
"Zdaj je končano!' je dejal in čudno, neznano sovraštvo se mu je zbudilo zoper Tineta. "Vsega je kriv, vse nesreče je kriv!" mu je vrtalo v srcu. "In jaz sem kriv in podpisujem svojo krivdo!" je dejal, ko se je podpisal za pričo. "In tako sramotno opravilo opravljam, izdajstvo podpisujem, namesto da bi kričal, namesto da bi kričal!"
In je v zmedenosti stopil k Franci in ji ponudil roko, da bi jo odvedel iz zakristije.
"Zdaj pa ne več, Matijec!" se je smejal Kosmač. "Zdaj pa ne več, zdaj je že Tine gospodar. Midva bova rajši šla k ne-vesti-steklenici, ves sem že žejen in potreben."
In ga je prijel za rame. "Nič se mi ne ljubi!" je menil Matijec.
"Vidiš ga, pa ne da bi bil žalosten! Pa ne da bi mu bil nevoščljiv, Matijec!" se je smejal Kosmač ter mu ostro pogledal v oči.
Matijec se je zavedel svojega klavrnega položaja ter se prisiljeno nasmejal.
"Kaj vam še pride na misel, stric! Kar tako se mi ne ljubi. Tisto žganje me je utrudilo," se je izgovarjal ves vesel, da je ujel to misel. "Tisto žganje je bilo vrag!"
(Dalje prihodnjič).

(Nadalievanje)
Če ti odrečeta, pusti mi kožo od-i reti in ukaži napraviti iz nje jermenje za sandale, da pojdem delat kot romar pokoro v Rim. Radzivilu se je lahko upreti, če se mu hoče ljubiti, toda če se hoče oženiti, ga ni šlahčiča, ki bi se mu bilo treba laskati. Gospodu mečniku in gospodični pa je treba le povedati, da mora ostati poroka, z ozirom na elek-torja in švedskega kralja, ki vas hočeta oženiti z biponsko knež-njo, tajna, dokler se ne sklene mir. Sicer pa spišite svatbeno pogodbo, kakršno hočete, saj jo morata obe cerkvi razveljaviti."
Boguslav je molčal nekaj časa, čez hip pa je dejal:
"Ni časa, čez tri dni moram, moram odriniti na Sapieho!"
"Baš zato! Če bi bilo več časa, bi bilo težje se izgovarjati. Zakaj? Vaša knežja milost bo raztolmačila, da pride kar prvi duhovnik, kakor se dogaja v hitrih primerih, in poroča z re-šetom. Oni bodo tudi sami po-, mislili: 'Iiitro, ker mora tako biti!' To je junaško dekle, zato jo lahko vzame vaša knežja milost tudi s seboj na vojno."
"Dobro, dobro!" je rekel knez Boguslav.
Toda v tem hipu sc ga je lotil prvi napad, da je začel šklepetati z zobmi in ni mogel izpre-govoriti niti besedice. Otrpnil je ves, potem pa ga je začelo metati in tresel se je kakor riba, ki si jO potegnil iz vode. Toda preden je prestrašeni Sako-vič utegnil pripeljati zdravnika, je minil napad.
XVII.
Po razgovoru š Sakovičem se je napotil Boguslav drugega dne popoldne naravnost k mečniku rosienskemu.
"Gospod mečnik," je dejal pri vstopu, "zadnjič sem se težko pregrešil, ko sem se spozabil v lastnem domu. Moj greh je tem večji, ker sem se spozabil nad človekom iz rodu, ki je že od davna prijatelj Radzivilom. Toda prihajam prosit odpuščanja. Naj zadostuje to odkritosrčno priznanje vam za zadoščenje, a meni za pokoro. Gospod, ti poznaš že dolgo časa Radzivile in veš, da se ne uklonijo in ne prosijo odpuščanja; vendar, ker sem žalil starost in dostojanstvo, prihajam prvi s sklonjeno glavo, ne oziraje se na to, kdo sem. In sedaj, stari prijatelj našega doma, verjamem, da mi ne odtegneš svoje roke."
Po teh besedah je iztegnil svojo roko, a mečnik, ki je v njegovi duši že minila prva jeza, se ni upal odreči, dasi mu jO je podal obotavljaj e in je rekel:
"Vaša knežja milost, vrnite nam prostost in to bo najboljša zadoščenje."
"Saj ste prosti in lahko odidete, če hočete danes."
"Hvala, vaša knežja milost," je dejal začudeni mečnik.
"Ali jaz vam stavim samo en pogoj, ki ga, dal Bog, ne zavrnete."
"Kakšen?" je vprašal straho ma mečnik.
Izvolite me potrpežljivo poslušati, kar bom povedal."
"Če je tako, bom poslušal, če je treba, do večera."
"Ni mi treba takoj odgovoriti, lahko se tudi premislite eno ali dve uri."
"Bog ve, da bi le dosegel svobodo, saj hrepenim po priliki.'
"Svobodo dosežeš, le ne vem, če jo boš hotel izkoristiti in če se ti bo mudilo zapustiti moj prag. Ljubo bi mi bilo, če bi hotel smatrati moj dom in vse Tavroge za svoje, toda sedaj poslušaj. Mar veš, moj dobrotnik, zakaj sem se protivil odhodu gospodične Bilevičeve? Zato, ker sem uganil, da hočeta zbežati, jaz pa sem se v vašo nečakinjo tako zaljubil, da bi vsak dan preplaval Helespont, kakor oni Leander zaradi Here, samo da bi jo videl."
Mečnik je zardel.
"Vaša knežja milost si upa meni to praviti?"
"Seveda, moj edini dobrotnik."
"Milostivi knez! Išči sreče pri dvorjankah, a ne dotikaj se šlahčanskega dekleta, zakaj gorje ti! Lahko jo zapres, lahko jo vržeš v ječo, a osramotiti je ne smeš."
"Osramotiti je ne smem," je rekel knez, "toda smem se pokloniti pred starim Bilevičem in mu reči: Poslušajte, oče, dajte mi svojo nečakinjo za ženo, ker brez nje ne morem živeti."
Mečnik je tako ostrmel, da ni mogel spregovoriti. Nekaj časa je samo migal z brki in oči so mu izstopile; potem je začel z rokami mencati in gledati zdaj na kneza, zdaj okoli po sobi, naposled je rekel:
"Mar sanjam ali bdim?"
"Ne spiš, moj dobrotnik, ne spiš, a.da se še bolje prepričaš, ponavljam: Jaz, Boguslav knez Radzivil, konjušnik velike kneževine litevske, prosim tebe, Tomaža Bileviča, mečnika rosien-skega, za roko tvoje nečakinje, gospodične Aleksandre."
"Kako to? Za Boga! Mar je vaša knežja milost to premislila?"
"Jaz sem premislil, sedaj pa premisli ti, dobrotnik, če sem vitez, vreden gospodične."
"Saj mi je sapo zaprlo od začudenja."
"Pripoznaj, ali sem imel kak nepošten namen ?"
"In vaša knežja milost hi pomislila na naš revni stan?"
"Tako po ceni so Bileviči? Tako ceniš svoj šlahčanski grb in starodavnost svojega rodu? Mar govori to Bilevič?"
"Milostivi knez, vem, da je treba početkov našega rodu iskati v Rimu, toda. . ."
"Toda," ga je prekinli knez, "hetmanov in kanclerjev nimate v svojem rodu. Nič za to! Elektorji ste vseeno, kakor je moj stric brandeburški. Ker je v naši ljudovladi lahko vsak šlahčič izbran za kralja, ni nobenega previsokega praga za njegovi nogi.. Jaz, moj mečnik in daj Bog, moj stričnik, sem se rodil od brandeburške ltne-
ginje, moj oče od kneginje ost-roške, a moj ded blagega spomina Krištof I., oni, ki so ga imenovali Peruna, veliki het-man, kancler in vojvoda vilen-ski, je bil prvikrat oženjen s Sobkovno, a zaradi tega mu ni padla krona z glave, zakaj Sob-kovna je bila šlahčanka, tako poštenega rodu kakor druge. No, dobrotnik, priznaj, da ne misliš, da je bil Sobek višji od Bileviča."
Tako je govoril knez in začel trkati z veliko zaupnostjo mečnika po rami, šlahčič pa je postal kakor vosek in je rekel:
"Bog poplačaj vaši knežji milosti za pošten namen. . . Kamen se mi je odvalil s srca! Ej, milostivi knez, da bi le nc bila razlika v veri!"
"Poročil naju bo katoliški duhovnik, drugega sam nočem."
"Vse' svoje življenje vam bova hvaležna, ker tu gre za božji blagoslov, katerega bi gotovo ne dal gospod Jezus, če kakšen nesramnež. . ."
"In tudi radi potomstva se ne bom upiral, ker je ni stvari, da je ne bi storil za vašo lepotico,'' ga je prekinil knez.
Mečnikov obraz se je razjasnil, kakor bi padel nanj solnčni žarek.
"Da, Bog ni skoparil pri njej z lepoto."
, Boguslav ga je vnovič potrkal po rami in, sklonivši se šlah-čiču k ušesom, je začel šepetati:
"In da bo prvi deček, za to sem porok."
"Hi, hi!"
"Drugače tudi ne more biti pri Bilevičevi."
"Od Bilevičeve z Radzivilom,
je dejal mečnik, veseleč se nad združenjem teh priimkov. "Hi, hi! To bo hrupa po vsej žmud-ži! In kaj porečejo Sičinski, naši sovražniki, če Bileviči tako zrastejo? Saj oni niso pustili v miru niti slavnega polkovnika, dasi je bil mož rimskega značaja, spoštovan od vse ljudovlade!"
"Zapodimo jih z žmudži, gospod mečnik."
"Veliki Bog, usmiljeni Bog, nerazumljivi so tvoji sklepi, a če je v tvojem sklepu, da popokajo gospodje Sičinski od zavisti, zgodi se Tvoja volja!"
"Amen!" je dodal Boguslav.
"Milostivi knez, ne zameri, če se ne obdajam z veličjem, katero pristoja onemu, ki prosi za dekle, in da preveč javno kažem svoje veselje. Toda živela sva v
strahu, ker nisva vedela, kaj naju čaka in sva si najhuje razlagala. Prišlo je tako daleč, da sva tudi vašo knežjo milost sodila slabo; a naenkrat se je izkazalo, da je bil strah in sum neopravičen in da moram prvi izreči svoje občudovanje. Zato pravim, vaša knežja milost, da se mi zdi, kakor bi mi kdo snel breme z ramena . . ."
"Mar je tudi gospodična sodila tako?"
"Ona? Če bi bil Cicero, bi ne mogel dostojno opisati njenega prvotnega občudovanja za vašo knežjo milost. . . Jaz mislim, da sta le njena nedolžnost in njena prirojena bojazljivost ovirala ljubezen. Ko pa bo izvedela odkritosrčne namene vaše knežje milosti, sem prepričan, da popusti takoj vajeti svojemu srcu,
in to se bo spustilo z največjo silo na pašnik ljubezni."
"Cicero bi tega ne znal do-stojneje izraziti," je dejal knez Bogulav.
"Zakaj v sreči se najde tudi izraz. Toda ker vaša knežja milost izvoli vse tako hvaležno poslušati, kar pravim, hočem biti odkritosrčen do konca."
"Bodi odkritosrčen, gospod mečnik!"
"Dasi je mlado dekle, toda je pri svojem popolnoma moškem
razumu zelo značaj na.' Tam, kjer marsikateri razsoden človek omahuje, se ona takoj odloči. Kar je slabo, to na levo, kar je dobro, na desno, a sama tudi na desno, če se je odločila enkrat, naj bi šel s topi nanjo, se ne umakne. Vrgla se je po dedu in po meni. Njen oče je bil odločen vojak, a kot človek je bil mehak, a njena mati, Vojnilovičeva de domo, sestra tete Kulvičeve, je bila tudi značajna."

BANQUETING
Several months ago this paper was in receipt of a letter from a St. Vitus' school graduate, who offered the suggestion of a big j] class reunion. The letter was printed, and soon more came in from members of other classes, all in accord with the idea. A meeting was called and the initial plans were made.
A committee w a s elected and upon them fell the burden of carrying the project through. A preliminary dance was held and last Sunday, after months of untiring effort and ballyhoo, the project was realized with some 350 graduates sitting in at a big banquet. Undoubtedly, it was a huge success and, by far, the largest St. Vitus' reunion ever held. All credit due to the committee.
But, as many speakers at the banquet brought out, rather than being the culmination of the project, the dinner should be regarded in the light of a real( honest-to-gosh start toward bigger and better things—an efficient, active alumni association.
And that, rather than the retaliation of past events, is the purpose of this article. A good start is half the battle. Why stop then, with only half way more to go? Just a little more effort, now that interest has been created, and the movement can be carried to a most successful finish. At the writing, everything is in the group's favor; enthusiasm is at the top, curiosity and its complement, interest, have been aroused and created and all graduates are ready to fall in line. All that is left to do is for someone, or a group, to take the initiative. It is up to the reunion committee who planned the banquet to take this step by calling an open meeting fqr all graduates, irrespective of class, immediately.
That meeting should see the foundations of a strong organization laid, and should put into existence an ac-. tive, helpful and happy body of St. Vitus' graduates.
•The American Home Junior took the initiative in bringing "old timers" together again. The American Home Junior is going to do its best to keep them together! Committee, let's have notice of that meeting!
Lei's See Some Spirit And while we're haying, our 1 houphts run along these lines, we'd like to see a similar fine turnout for "Doljack Day" as what, there was for the banquet.- This, we know, is poaching upon the sport ed's territory, and \ye haven't the faintest idea of how the tickets are going or anything else about the project, but just the same we'd like to put in our good word for the movement.
Frankic's a fine fellow, he's done a fine job, made a name for himself and his nationality, and his fellow Slovenians, especially the Clevelanders, should come through with a great big. "glad hand" for the b'oy. Let's see a full Doljack section, Aug. 9! Let's show sime spirit!

250 ORELS WILL PARTICIPATE IN BIG EXHIBITION
AYE, AYE, SIR!
Over 250 gymnasts are to take part in exhibitions at the gigantic field day and picnic sponsored this Sunday by the Orels. •
The program will begin at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at Frank Strumbly's grounds, corner Bliss Rd. and St. Clair Ave. The exhibition will cover the entire field of gymnastics ranging from drills, dances, tumbling, ring, parallel and horizontal bar work. The entire Orel club has been hard at work preparing for this exhibition and are in good trim, which promises to make this performance one of the best they have ever put on.
Arrangements have been made with the Cleveland Railway for added bus transportations between the end of the St. Clair Street car line and the scene of the picnic, this in order to accomodate the large crowds planning to arrive by street cars.
The Orel affairs are usually well attended. and the committee in charge of the picnic has made all necessary arrangements to accomodate the crowd, no matter how large it may be. Ruddy Kalister will entertain with his accordion for the dance to follow the exhibition. Frank Surtz, chairman, reports that the dancing may last longer than usual. Refreshments will be of the very best, a competent staff of cooks will see to it that no one goes hungry, and the same for those whose throats may become parched.
Don't fail to attend this gigantic exhibition and picnic, enjoy yourself, and besides aid a worthy cause, for following their usual custom, the Orels will turn over the entire profit to the now St. Vitus' church building fund.
VALENCIC-ZALLAR SECRET WEDDING IS MADE PUBLIC
Regardless of the depression, Dan Cupid is still in business, operating a most thriving concern. Recently Dan centered his business campaign on the Junior Holy Name ranks of Collinwood and as a result three charter members of that organization have sought the coveted aisle leading to the altar.
Dan Cupid's first victim was Louis Pike, for whom the ceremony was performed during the latter part of May. Last Saturday morning the rituals were repeated for the second victjm, Rudolph Boldin. The other victim of Cupid's campaign was somewhat more fortunate than the other two—in a way.
Daniel Zallar, who wa§ Cupid's third victim in Dan's second campaign into the Holy Name ranks (Dan Cupid's previous attack upon this same organization was last summer when he had enticed two members, Joseph Pe-rusek and Joseph Bizjak into his fold) was successful in his attempt to keep the fact that Cuptd had won, a secret. Unknown to even his closest friends, Danny, as he's known to his friends, was quietly married to Miss Frances Valtncic, on Saturday, May 13. Rev. George Hovanec officiated at the ceremony which was performed at 5:30 in the evening.
Zallar was the first treasurer of the Holy Name Juniors and served two terms in that office. Mrs. Zallar was a member of the Young Ladies Sodality and is well known by all its members.
The members of the Junior Holy Name Society wish the three young men and their brides success on their latest venture.
The above picture represents Mr. William F. Petrovič, son of the deceased Mr. and Mrs. Frank Petrovič, and a brother of Frank Petrovič, 903 E. 137th St.
William left Sunday morning, June 14th, bound for Annapolis, Bd., for physical examination to the U. S. Naval Academy. A large group of his friends came to see him off at the depot and wish him luck.
A surprise farewell party was tendered him just before his departure at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Vehar, 13704 Astor Ave., a large number of his school friends and chums were present.
Bill gives all the credit for his early education to the Sisters of Notre Dame, teaching at St. Vitus' school, also to the Charity sisters at St. Mary's school in West Park. He is also a Collinwood High graduate of 1930.
We wish him success in passing the entrance examinations and in all his studies in Uncle Sam's Academy, and hope the time will come when vie may rqfer to him as the first Slovenian admiral.

Cinderella Jane Finds This Year's Marriage Crop Unaffected by Times
Tomorrow will bring about the grand finale of weddings for June.
In the past four weeks an average number of 40 couples have been married in the four Slovenian churches. These weddings, some formal or informal, others simple or elaborate, all radiated with the present fashion trend.
At no time in memorable history have brides and their attendants looked more graceful and attractive, and really one dares to say that this is one reason why June has not suffered such a noticeable marriage shrinkage, as was predicted on account of the depression.
A number of Slovenian couples will be married tomorrow.

SLOVENIA PRAISED IN BROADCAST BY RADIO BALKAN MAN
STANDING BACKSTAGE WITH TRIGLAV
EDITOR'S NOTE: Thin is the ninth of a aeries' of articles dealinir with our social, cultural, athletic, dramatic, and fraternal societies, as compiled by O. I. Mnozy.
THIS SERIES of local club histories would not be complete without including "Triglav," dramatic society with a dramatic past. Twenty-eight years of active dealing in the same community has made the name of Triglav a byword to all lovers of clra-i matics, and it is with great pleasure; that we take you back to a little scene that happened in the early days of" it's existence.
In the early nineties, a fall evening, up Norwood Rd., a large crowd is treading their way to the old (then new) St. Vitus' school. A'new stage had been built by a recently organized society called Triglav, and the public was curious to see what it looked like and just what this society could produce. Well they certainly must have put their first performance, "Zamujeni vlak," over alright, for from then on Triglav was made.
Triglav was originally Slovensko Katoliško Iozbraževalno Društvo (Slovenian Catholic Cultural Society), organized by the Rev. Vitus Hribar at that time paster of St. Vitas' church, in 1903. Triglav became an independent organization, six of the charter members are still active today in the workings of the club.
First With Electricity Their first productions Vere held in the old St. Vitus' school hall. Gas lamps were in vogue those days, and Mr. John J. Grdina wired the stage with the first electric lights, which caused quite a sensation. Remember this was the mauve decade, big gas bulbs were to be found in our best parlors electricity was as yet a novelty and this was considered quite an innovation on a local stage. From the school hall, Triglav turned
to Knaus' and then to Grdina's as the nature and work of their productions expanded until the present day are housed in the Slovenian National Home, where they have scenery and effects worth many thousands. At one time Triglav was also noted as possessing a very good group of singers.
The club has presented every Slovenian play possible to be produced on our local stages and . have been the first to bring to the Slovenian stage translations of American and English plays.
Translate Plays
Matt J. Grdina, director, is largely responsible for the success of all their productions, he has also been responsible for the translations and adaptions of the English plays. Any one attending a Triglav offering is always .assured of seeing the best acting and elaborate scenic displays. To enumerate all the actors who have appeared in their plays would take up too much space, most of them are well known in the local field of business and the professions.
Triglav has be^ii the cause of many romantic love matches. Cupid has seen fit to use as targets many members, now happily married to others in the group, and in fact, have their children enrolled in this society. Many of the Triglav members saw service in time of war.
The same enthusiasm and thorough preparation is noticeable in their social affairs. The club has held many outings, their annual masquerade ball and New i'ear parties, are the envy of the. entire neighborhood. Bizarre decorations, elaborate entertainment, and a general good time are a part of every affair.

Many's the time we hear the homeland of our fathers described in glowing terms; its scenic beauties depicted by our folks, local speakers, singers and poets. But perhaps the most touching tribute that could be paid a country, was heard last Sunday over the air from a great Station WJZ during the half hour broadcast of the "Balkan Mountain Man" through National Broadcasting Corporation in New York and relayed through the local Station WGAR. The announcer was Mr. Ford Bond and this is what he said:
"Hail Slovenia, that place of earthly paradise, with its rugged mountains, shady trees, and quiet peaceful countrysides. From this romantic land, a peace loving land, a land accustomed to foreign oppression, we bring to you two charming bits of melody, and song depicting a deep yearning, almost bordering on sadness, and yet with a touch of gladness. One is a plaintive little love song and the other a tribute of an emigrant to his native land."
High honors were bestowed by the Silver Fox tribe upon three Slovenian scouts at its court of awards meeting last Friday, June 19, 1931 at the St. Clair Bathhouse. They are the recipients of the scoutmasters award for advancement, leadership and the "all-round scout" given by Mr. Felix A. Dan ton, tribe scoutmaster.
Second Class Burt Carpenter, a member of the tribe since October, 1930, was presented the award for advancement 'for consistent and persistent efforts to pass the requirements of the second class rank—despite obstacles and disappointments and lack of opportunity to pass the tests," his citation read. Scout Carpenter was also commended for his faithful services as librarian of the tribe since last November.
'For increasingly faithful services as tribe chief for almost two years," the leadership award was made to John Ajster Jr., who became a first class scout last Friday and who last month was named acting 'assistant scoutmaster in charge of camping and outdoor activities by the tribe committee. He has come up through the ranks of the tribe during the past two and a. half years and now serves on the staff of the tribe scoutmaster.
Joseph Zajc, second class scout, was named the "all-round scout" in the tribe combining- leadership, advancement, service, the scout oath and law and the daily good turn.
"His fellow scouts, his patrol leader and tribe officers are almost unanimous that he represents a good scout," his citation read.
"He is modest and unassuming. He is the loyal son of a widowed mother. He is faithful in his religious duties," were some of the qualities inscribed in his citation. Scout Zajc was graduated from St. Vitus' school on Sunday, June 14.
In making the presentation to him, Mr. Danton admonished him to guard well the responsibility which this unusual honor brought with it.
The awards were respectively an illustrated volume on birds, flowers and animals published by the National Geographic Society. The award is to be made annually.

CANTON, O.—The past week seems to* have been a blank as far as social affairs among the Slovenians were concerned. Maybe we're wrong, but we suspect that the recent hot spell accounts for it.
We are all more or less looking forward to the Northern Ohio Federated SNPJ lodges picnic at Kenmore, O. From the interest the announcement is creating it is safe to predict that Canton will be well represented.

INFORMAL SOCIAL
EUCLID, O.—Miss Albina Gabrenja was the hostess at a charming informal social gathering last Saturday evening at her home on Ivan Ave.
Bridge and 66 made up the card games, followed by dancing. The square dance was an innovation at this affair. A table midnight lunch was served at the table.
The following were among those present: Misses Sophie Grdanc, Bertha Laurich, Helen Muran, Josephine Ska-la and Jean Wiesniewska, and Messrs. Alex Jasert, Walter Kcscica, Michael Michael Lawr,ence, Edward Prusha, Rudolph Volcansek and Jack ZaVerl.
GUILD OUTING
EUCLID, O.—Strojin's farm, Geneva, O., was the scene of the first outing held by the St. Christine's Guild.
The Rev. A. L. Bombach accompanied the members and their friends to this outing. Games, contests and dancing were the order of the day. The large crowd that attended was well pleased with the program and entertainment offered by the girls.
Visions of brand new tents, of nights spent under starry skies—a few hours stolen from the hum-drum of city life to be spent in the great outdoors, with a creek nearby and birds and flowers all around—these are dreams many a scout of Silver Fox tribe is having these days, as plans are being completed for the card party they are sponsoring on Wednesday, July 1, 1931 at Mervar's Hall at 8 p. m.
Proceeds from the card party are to be used to purchase tents and camping-equipment foy overnight camping trips this summer. A portion of the rnohey will be used to help attend the Boy Scout summer camp at. Chagrin Falls, as Well as overnight hikes!.
Tickets are 25 ients per person and may be secured from scouts and tribe

EUCLID, O .—The Young Ladies' Sodality of St. Christine's church, are sponsoring an outing to Cedar Point this Sunday.
The trip will all be made by boat, which, should prove a novel experience for most of the members. Well here's hoping none of them get seasick.
the way, was produced by them a few years ago. The liall was packed to it's utmost capacity and many had to be turned away. They also scored a tremendous hit, by being the first to bring a well known orchestra, Stubby Gordon, to play at a dance given by them at the Slovenian National Home, and at popular prices. Another capacity crowd attended this venture, setting a National Home record for dance attendance.
Triglav boasts of being the oldest organization of its kind where no dues are collected, it is strictly non-mercenary, often turning over the profits for some charitable cause. It now numbers something like 100 members, governed by a board of trustees, and is also the only local club of like nature to have a closed membership. At present they have a large list of individuals waiting for acceptance into the organization.
Their principle is to give to the public the most for its money and they have certainly succeeded in their efforts.
Much Competition
The reason they are not producing so many plays at present is due to present economic conditions and to quote the director Mr. Matt J. Grdina: "Another reason for us curtailing our productions is the fact that so many fraternal lodges are producing, or rather attempting to produce dramatic works, for which they are not as well fitted as a regular simon-pure dramatic organization, in fact they are practically spoiling it for all dramatic societies."
This in brief relates the history of the Triglav, it would take a full length book to describe the activities and doings of this group. We wish Triglav
Mr. August Kollander, steamship agent with the John L. Mihelich Co., will escort about forty passengers from Cleveland, and an additional 25 from New York, to Europe next Tuesday, June 30.
They are to sail on the steamer "Paris'," the majority. of Mr. Kollan-der's passengers are families who intend to remain in the country of their birth permanently.
Mr. Kollander plans to remain in Jugoslavia for a period of two months, during which time he will tour the whole of Jugoslavia by bicycle and also tour Venice. Mr. Kollander has promised us to send in any interesting event or happening he may meet with on his stay.

No less than 350 of the old timers put in their appearance at the St. Vitus' Alumni Reunion banquet last Sunday at Grdina's hall.
The crowd was by far layger than what the committee had bargained for, and quite a bit of difficulty was experienced in seating everybody.
In fact, two of the hardest workers on the committee didn't even get places at the dinner, the unfortunates were Misses Frances Zulich and Mildred Milavec. Frances was alumni vice president, while Mildred held down the office of secretary.
It was such a big success that all attending expressed their favor of making it an annual affair.
And if they do they'll have to hire the Slovenian National Home—if not the Cleveland Public Auditorium. Undoubtedly, many graduates who missed last Sunday's affair will sure to be on hand for the next one.
Every graduating class from the years 1913 (the first from St. Vitus) to 1925, inclusive, was represented.
Strangely enough, attendance tym-ors went to the rst graduates, for out of the five living members of the class, three were present, one male and two females.
Representatives of all the classes and local sheets spoke, besides the
drey. All the speeches were short and interesting with honors going to Francis Surtz, who had the assembled guests in a constant uproar with his humorous description of St. Vitus' school in its infancy.
A decided hit was the brick ice cream initiated S. V. S. Not only did the novelty of it, appeal to the grads, but also its refreshing coolness. Yes, it was qiiite warm. Orni could almost say "hot" without fear of any criticism or contradiction.
The sisters of the St. Vitus' school hereby wish to express their heartfelt thanks to the committee in charge of the recent Class Reunion banquet, for their thought fulness and kindness in inviting them to the banquet held last Sunday. It in with a feeling of deep regret that they wish to announce the fact that circumstances prevented their being present at the reunion. They also wish to extend a sincere invitation to all their former pupils to visit them this summer at the Notre Dame Convent, corner Ansel Rd. and Superior Ave.
Following the speeches, all graduates took a bow according to their class. Of course, all gave the others a big hand.
Likewise, did the cooks and comely waitresses come in for their share o£ the applause. And they deserved it, too; the chicken dinner was well
honored guest, the'Rev.' Andrew An-'cooked and well served. Bravo!
And the person we missed most of all was Cy Verbic '21, the lad whose letter to the American Home Junior really started the reunion ball arollin'. Where were you, Cy?
And lest we forget, Johnny "Buddy" Klaus, likewise of '21, asked us to give his regards to all his former classmates. Johnny couldn't possibly be there, being busy putting out fires for the city.
Following the repast dancing was the order of t,he evening. And what dancing! Hie Arcadian Melody Pilots put on a special exhibition for the folks, and everybody "went t'o town."
And if you liked the way the halls were decorated. Anthony Sternisha and Stanley Tome are the lads to whom all compliments should be paid. They're the boys who did all the work.
It was surprising to learn how far some of the old timers have gone; many of them are professional men, others in business, others have collected scholastic honors, still others are in seminaries and convents, and still others, heavens have pity on them, are in the newspaper racket.
And when it was all over, everyone was sorry the end had come. They had so much fun meeting their old Sweethearts and pals. But next year is not so far away, just 365 days, and it may bring us another big St. Vitus' reunion. Here's hoping!
Voice From the Stands
By EDDIE KOVACIC Junior Sports Editor
OUT IN BAINBRIDGE way last week there was entered in one of the races a nag with the musical monicker "Song and Dance Man." This bangtail was one of the week's long shots and when he came strutting across the finish line he was pacing the rest of the trotters and paid to the tune of $154.60 for a $2 ducat (and not a parking ticket, either).
Well, we were interested in that race and particularly that horse because Johnny "Butts" Blatnik had a ticket staked on him and thereby was exactly $154.60 richer after it was over. This in itself is not so important, but when you consider the luck John has I been running in the past three or i four years, you fully realize the marvel of it all.
In the past he would bet on a sure pop, and what would happen? Well, generally the horse never got away from the post or was scratched.
A fairly good example of his luck comes to our mind. You know, he had plenty of it. but it was all of the variety labeled "BAD." He placed a bet on an oat inhaler, who was picked to win all by himself, going away. To make the thing more certain, the nap, drew the inside post at the barrier, which made it practically impossible for him to lose—yet that's just what he did and without any effort what so ever.
No, the horse wasn't left at the post, neither was he scratched, but—of all things—the jockey fell off! And oui dashing hero was out his two dollars!
DOLJACK DAY DOINGS
Everything is aii set for "Doijack Day." All that is needed now is the cooperation of all the Slovenians and friends cf Frank, who, as everyone knows, is cavorting in the OUtfield for the lowly Detroit Tigers.
The date is Sunday, Aug. 9, and the sales of exchange tickets is now going on, with reserve seats obtainable at Gornik's Hab, Mandel Hardware, St. Clair Bathhouse or John Ajrilch's.
Pour hundred seats have been re-, served along the thirdbase line at $1.40 each. Frank » Mervar, ardent base-baller, has given the use of his roof garden to the "Doijack Day" committee for that night so that the celebration may be carried throughout the entire day.
The American Home Junior and everyone connected with "Doijack Day" thanks Mrs. Mervar for his generosity and desire to make this clay o big one for local Slovenians.

BY 5-1 TRIUMPH OVER COMRADES
Progressives Trim Loyalites, 3 to 1, and Collinwood Boosters Take Over George Washingtons, 7 to 5, in Week's Surprises; Orels, SYMC Win Games
With the passing of each week the Inter-Lodge League becomes more muddled as upset after upset pops up. Two of the most starting occured during the past week, when the Progressives edged the Loyalites, 4 to 3, and the Boosters took over Geo. Washingtons, 7 to 5, to chalk up their first victories of the season. In the other games, the SYMC trounced the Clairwoods, and Orels whipped Betsy Ross; Pioneers best Comrades.
Progressives 4, Loyalites ."> *---
The Progressives finally pulled themselves together and came through with a victory. A least expected one, too—against the Loyalites, last year's champs. t
S. Trebec of the winners allowed four hits as did J. Grzybowski, Loyal-ite moundsman, but the former's teammates bunched theirs for three runs in the fifth to take a 3 to 2 margin. They added another in the eighth to sew things up.
Besides striking out nine men, J. Grzybowski accounted for half of his team's hits, getting a double ancl homer in three trips to the plate. For the Progressives, Podnar pounded out two singles and Cretic a triple for the hitting highlights.
Fielding laurels for the tilt went to Thirdbaseman Jerele of the winners who accepted no less than ten chances perfectly. On the other hand the defending titlists slumped on the defense and their four errors went a long way toward sending them into their fourth setback of the season. Progressives	A. R. H. O. A. E.

The audience applauded and applauded, while we held our heads. The presentation savored too strongly of burlesque for our pre-war tastes and her caricatures of other Hollywoodites were entirely too satiricsEl and bespoke a jealous disposition.

EIGHT SOFTBALL TEAMS PLAY IN NEIGHBORHOOD TWILIGHT GROUP
Bout is Headliner of Card Firestone Auditorium; Six-Rounder
Tomorrow night in the Firestone Auditorium in Akron, O., Eddie Simms will be looking for his third consecutive knockout since he deserted the simon-pure ranks for the money circle last year.
The bout is a six two-minute rounds slamborec, with big Pat Smith in the opposite corner, and is billed as the main go.
In his initial appearance in the pro-ranks Eddie flattened one "Joe Lil-lich" at the local public hall in one round, this being a curtain raiser to the Simms-Stanton shindig, which the former copped by a kayo.
A short time ago the younger edition of the fighting Simms brothers came back after a year's layoff, and iced Frankie Florian, also a former simon-pure heavyweight, in less than two minutes of the opening heat. This was in a preliminary match at the West Side Equestrium.
So tomorrow Eddie will be out to keep his slate clean by trying to land that dangerous right and to chalk up his second straight victory under his new manager, Doc Župnik.

Incidentally, the contestants intend to visit the farms along Geneva and Madision to see just how many of you will be out there. Watch for results in a following issue.

Mr. and Mrs. Malnar arrived here for the wedding this week, and the young couple expect to return with them, next week and spend the honeymoon in West Virginia.
JANEZIC-TEKAVEC Just as a little surprise, we are making the announcement of the approaching marriage of Miss Mary Jan-ezic. 18619 Pawnee Ave., and Mr. Jack Tekavec, 1923 E. 72d PI. The couple will be married on Saturday, Aug. 1.
Mary is one sweet girl, who has lived for a long time in West Park, but whose migration to Cleveland has never been regretted. If you can not guess, there is no fair, telling why.
And Jack, you know, is an all round popular good fellow. He is well known in the community sports activities, as a record bowler and baseball man. Incidentally, he is glad that Miss Mary came to our big town.
The wedding is only five weeks from tomorrow, so it might be well to get that rice stocked up now.
