More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

CURING \ BOLSHEVIK.
Getruffsky lacked both pelf and
His intellect was weak:
And consequently he became
A bowling 'bolshevik
Who launched a curse on all who
More industry than he did,
And vowed all governments were
bad
Where honest men succeeded.
His fancied wrongs he sought "a
right
With pistol and with dirk,
With shrapnel and with dynamite
And everything but work
He robbed and pillaged all around
He gurgled everywhere,
Until he cracked a crib and found
A million roubles there.
A million roubles all in gold.
Which tidy little sum
Served on the instant 10 remould
This bolshevikian bum.
No more he deals in dynamite.
The burden OF his song
Is that the governments are right,
And bolsheviks are wrong.
For once you give a boishevik
a goodly store OF pelf
Thereafter he will only seek
To keep II for himself
Infallibly IL works a cure
For all the ills that all EN-
But there's a way that's still more
sure
And simpler-just 10 jail IN.

You'll grow 10 be kinder. more

To faults which are petty and

You won't take the trouble your

When some one your pride may

And keep the good will Of a
