RUSSIAN TYPES.
Behold the Bolshevik, With whiskers bold and free, And I don’t know what is is that he wants, ' And neither, I think, does he. A Maximalist here, For peace at once he pines. His thirty pieces of silver arc paid. By the Hun on the Riga lines. vThis is an Anarchist: If his ideas are right, The sorrows of the childern of men Will yield to dynamite. This bloke is a Cadet, And he is out of date, The fool believes that the hand' of the law Is a boon to the Russian State. The Cossacks bears a lance To poke his foemen through, He doesn’t care who his foemen are For the nearest man svill do. This simple Moujik, see; He is illiterate; Whoever it be that rules his hand. He will obey him straight. • If old Biogenes His lantern took again, And searched for a fellow who hadn’t a kink. In Russia—he’d search in vain. —Sydney Sun.
