Pot Pourri de Lenin

P: Lenin est mort! Vive Lenin!

P: Nikolai Lenin, Prime Minister of Soviet Russia, is sinking fast. No hope is entertained for his recovery.

P: The Premier recovered in so far as he was able to sit up and toy with half a grape fruit. The paralysis has entirely left his throat, leaving his power of speech free. His words were: " So this is Russia."

P: Lenin is out of danger and is expected to leap from bed at any moment to take up the reins of government.

P: Nikolai had a slight relapse. Trotzky stands Red Army free vodka.

P: Lenin much better. Denies that he is a relation of " Old Nick."

P: Trotzky feeling bilious, but orders Red Army to clean buttons as the Chief is expected to resume control during the day.

P: Lenin worse; not expected to live.

P: Trotzky, Rykov and Stalin have a free fight for the dictatorship. Trotzky, remembering his military strategy, waits until the other two have killed themselves.

P: At the Kremelin, Trotzky makes an amazing announcement: "Who is Lenin anyway!"
