CLIII
To Mrs. Ole Bull
180 W. 59,
C/O E. GUERNSEY, M.D.,
12 November 1899
DEAR MRS. BULL —
I am laid up with a bad cold. The clothes are not ready — they will be next week. I don't know what my next step will be. Dr. Guernsey is very kind. Several Doctors have examined me and none could detect any organic disease.
Even the kidney complications for the present have disappeared.
Well, the whole thing is then dyspepsia. I want ever so much to try Battle Creek food. There is a restaurant which cooks only Battle Creek food. Do you think it should be best for me to try it just now? If so, I go to Detroit. In that case, send me my terracotta, thick cashmere coat.
Ever yours in the Lord,
VIVEKANANDA
Had three treatments already from Helmer.[6]* Going to take some next week. None can do anything for this "wind". That is why dieting should be tried at any cost.

To the Hindu Students of Trichinapally[6]*
[February 16, 1897]
GENTLEMEN,
I have received your address with great pleasure and sincerely thank you for the kind expressions contained therein.
I much regret, however, that time effectually prevents my paying even a short visit to Trichinopoly at present. In the autumn, however, I propose making a lecture tour throughout India, and you may rely upon it that I shall then not fail to include Trichinopoly in the programme.
Again thanking you, and with my blessings to all.
Sincerely yours,
VIVEKANANDA.

DEAR MISS NOBLE —
Many thanks for sending the kind present from Mr. Beatty. I have written to him acknowledging his beautiful gift.
As for you, my dear, noble, kind friend, I only would say this — we Indians lack in many things, but there is none on earth to beat us in gratefulness. I remain,
Ever yours gratefully,
VIVEKANANDA

CLIV
To Sister Christine
21 WEST 34TH STREET,
NEW YORK,
21st November 1899.
MY DEAR CHRISTINA,
Circumstances have so fallen that I have to start for California tomorrow. It is for my physical benefit too; as the doctor says, I had better be off where the severe winter of the North cannot reach.
Well, thus my plans are made and marred. Anyway — come over to Cambridge when you feel like it. Mrs. Bull will only be too happy to do anything for you she can.
I hope to stop in Detroit on my way back. The Lord's will — as we say.
Ever yours in the Lord,
VIVEKANANDA.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 3/Meetings of the American Czechoslovak Board

MEETING OF THE AMERICAN CZECHOSLOVAK BOARD.
The first full meeting of the American Czechoslovak Board since its selection at the Cleveland Conference last October, was held March 14th, in the Hollenden Hotel, Cleveland. The following members of the board were present: Prof. B. Shimek, Dr. Joseph P. Pecival, Vojta Beneš, Joseph Martinek, Rev. Innocent Kestl, Rev. J. Hroch, in place of Rev. Oldřich Zlámal, and John Straka for the Czechs. Albert Mamatey, Andrew Schustek, Revs. J . Kubášek, L. Karlovský, J. Murgas, Jan Pankuch, and Miss E. Cablk for the Slovaks. In addition there were present Major J. Šípek, secretary of the Czechoslovak Legation at Washington, F. Kopecký, Czechoslovak Counsel General at New York, Mrs. Libuše Moták in charge of the relief work of the board and Dr. J. F. Smetanka, director of the Washington office of the board.
Reports were rendered by Secretary Beneš and heads of the various departments. Mr. Kopecký made his final report of the recruiting activities in the United States for the Czechoslovak army. It was decided to close the work of the Information Bureau at Washington at the end of April. The greatest amount of time was taken up by discussing the relief activities of the Czech and Slovak organizations in America and complaints were voiced that by reason of lack of news from the old country it was difficult to plan and execute an effective campaign, although everyone realizes that help is urgently needed by the poor people of the Czechoslovak Republic and that Czechoslovaks in this country are ready to give generously. It was decided that for the present the relief work would be centered on gathering old clothing and supplementing this by purchases and by sewing and knitting of women affiliated with the Bohemian National Alliance and the Slovak League. It was further voted to send Vojta Beneš and Rev. L. Kubášek to Bohemia and Slovakia to report on what has been accomplished here and to prepare detailed plans for a nation-wide relief campaign in this country. The delegates are expected to go immediately and return as soon as possible; it is expected that their personal accounts of conditions in the old country will greatly increase the amount of gifts. In connection with this it may be noted that the Bohemian National Alliance has already organized its own relief branch of which Jas. F. Stepina is chairman.
The accounts of the various offices of the board were examined by an auditing committee and found correct. The conference adjourned at midnight on Friday, after sending a telegram of loyalty to Vice-President Marshall and adopting a resolution in favor of the League of Nations.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 3/Medical unit for Siberia

MEDICAL UNIT FOR SIBERIA.
For some time it has been planned by the American Red Cross to send out surgeons and nurses and medical supplies to the Czechoslovak Army in Siberia. It is known that Czechoslovak troops have their own medical officers and Russian nurses; many of their invalids were sent to Japan where they received good attention from the Japanese Red Cross. Recently about 500 wounded soldiers unfit for more fighting were sent home directly by sea from Siberia to Trieste. At the same time it is well known that drugs and medical supplies are extremely scarce in Siberia and that more surgeons are needed there.
The American Red Cross, which is doing so much to relieve the terrible suffering prevailing in Siberia sent out at the end of March the so-called Siberian-Czechoslovak Commission, consisting of 20 doctors, 20 graduate nurses, 20 nurses’ aid, 4 druggists, 5 dentists and a number of technical assistants. Among the Bohemian physicians enlisted in this Red Cross work are Dr. J . Rudiš-Jičinský, Dr. J. Čepelka, Dr. Václav Anýž, Dr. Joseph Otradovec, all of Chicago, Dr. A. R . Hemala, Dr. A. Moravka and Dr. F. A. Sedláček, of Omaha, Neb.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 3/Milan Getting

​Milan Getting, known to all Slovaks in America as editor of the “Slovenský Sokol,” paid a visit to Slovakia in spring after 15 years in America, and decided that he was needed there more than here. Last month he sailed from New York with his family to settle in Bratislava. Among other Slovaks returning to their old home was Paul Socháň, author and artist.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 3/Making friends among Americans

MAKING FRIENDS AMONG AMERICANS.
One of the principal duties of the diplomatic representative of the Czechoslovak republic is to make addresses at various more or less official occasions. Charles Pergler, the present commissioner, happens to be a highly gifted public speaker and is constantly in demand, addressing congresses, chambers of commerce and mass meetings.
Another speaker who is doing effective work to make friends for the new liberated nation is Charles M. Atherton. Mr. Atherton was until recently a Y. M. C. A. worker in the Second Czechoslovak Regiment in Russia, he returned to this country for medical treatment, but is now able to make addresses on the romantic adventures of the small Czechoslovak Army in Siberia. His talks are given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. in military camps and being accompanied with excellent and unique slides arouse much interest and sympathy for the brave fighters in the Urals. Mr. Atherton is also preparing a book on the same subject, and expects to give a course of addresses in various colleges.
Under the auspices of the New York City Board of Education Mrs. Anna V. Čapek is engaged in giving illustrated lectures in the various public schools of New York City. She has a number of beautifully colored slides, showing the best scenic and architectural gems of Bohemia, and being an accomplished musician she adds to her descriptive lecture samples of Bohemian folk songs. If we could have more competent lectures who would cover the country as New York City is covered, every one in America would soon know something of the new republic in Central Europe and Bohemia would be loved in America as much as America is loved in Prague.

# The Devil's Dictionary/J
## Listings for J

J is a consonant in English, but some nations use it as a vowel -- than which nothing could be more absurd. Its original form, which has been but slightly modified, was that of the tail of a subdued dog, and it was not a letter but a character, standing for a Latin verb, 'jacere', "to throw," because when a stone is thrown at a dog the dog's tail assumes that shape. This is the origin of the letter, as expounded by the renowned Dr. Jocolpus Bumer, of the University of Belgrade, who established his conclusions on the subject in a work of three quarto volumes and committed suicide on being reminded that the j in the Roman alphabet had originally no curl.
JEALOUS, adj. Unduly concerned about the preservation of that which can be lost only if not worth keeping.
JESTER, n. An officer formerly attached to a king's household, whose business it was to amuse the court by ludicrous actions and utterances, the absurdity being attested by his motley costume. The king himself being attired with dignity, it took the world some centuries to discover that his own conduct and decrees were sufficiently ridiculous for the amusement not only of his court but of all mankind. The jester was commonly called a fool, but the poets and romancers have ever delighted to represent him as a singularly wise and witty person. In the circus of to-day the melancholy ghost of the court fool effects the dejection of humbler audiences with the same jests wherewith in life he gloomed the marble hall, panged the patrician sense of humor and tapped the tank of royal tears.
    The widow-queen of Portugal
       Had an audacious jester
    Who entered the confessional
       Disguised, and there confessed her.
    "Father," she said, "thine ear bend down --
       My sins are more than scarlet:
    I love my fool -- blaspheming clown,
       And common, base-born varlet."
    "Daughter," the mimic priest replied,
       "That sin, indeed, is awful:
    The church's pardon is denied
       To love that is unlawful.
    "But since thy stubborn heart will be
       For him forever pleading,
    Thou'dst better make him, by decree,
       A man of birth and breeding."
    She made the fool a duke, in hope
       With Heaven's taboo to palter;
    Then told a priest, who told the Pope,
       Who damned her from the altar!
                Barel Dort
JEWS-HARP, n. An unmusical instrument, played by holding it fast with the teeth and trying to brush it away with the finger.
JOSS-STICKS, n. Small sticks burned by the Chinese in their pagan tomfoolery, in imitation of certain sacred rites of our holy religion.
JUSTICE, n. A commodity which is a more or less adulterated condition the State sells to the citizen as a reward for his allegiance, taxes and personal service.

​Sprent, Charles Percy, son of James Sprent (q.v.), was born at Hobart in 1849. He was educated at the High School, Hobart, and chose the profession of a surveyor. In 1871 he was appointed District Surveyor of the North-western District of Tasmania. In this year, Mr. James Smith's splendid discovery of tin at Mount Bischoff first revealed the mineral treasures hidden in the dense forests of the North-West, and during the next ten years Mr. Sprent did valuable pioneering work in opening the way for prospectors by his explorations of the country lying between Mount Bischoff and Macquarie Harbour. In 1876 he penetrated the mineral belt to the east of the Meredith Range, between Waratale and the Pieman, cutting a track through a dense tangle of scrub and forest. His explorations did much to assist the opening up of the rich mineral resources of Western Tasmania. In 1882 he received the appointment of Deputy-Surveyor-General, in recognition of his services to the Colony. He died at Hobart on June 20th, 1887. Mr. Sprent wrote for the ​ Royal Geographical Society of Australasia an interesting paper on "Recent Explorations on the West Coast of Tasmania" (1885), also a paper on "Antarctic Exploration" in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania (1886).
