LENIN ,
His Picture Hangs in Almost Every House
in Russia
I wiiic to tell you some little
knowu facts about a man who
has been dead almost twenty
year*, and yet a city of seven
hundred thousand people has
been named in his honor; and a
hundred million people regard
him as their Patron Saint.
His name was Lenin, and he
started in Russia the greatest ec
onomic experiment the world lias
ever known—an experiment that
is bound to have some effect on
you and me and almost everyone
else in the world.
Lenui was a little, bald-headed,
wrinkled man; and when he sat
in a chair, his legs were so short

that they hardly touched the

He didn't care anything at all
about his looks; his trousers were
usually too long, his nose was
slightly turned up. he had a
squint in one eye and he prob
ably never wore a silk hat or a
frock' coat in his life. He was
happily married, and his wife
loved him so much that she re
fused to leave him when he was
exiled; so she went with him into
exile in order to look after him
and care for him.
As a child, Lenin was serious
and gloomy, seldom played with
other children and never took
part in athletic games. When he
grew to be a man, he had no in
terest whatever in music or
poetry or religion; but he studied
law and spoke four languages
French. German, Russian and
English.
During the great famine of
1891. when millions of poverty
stricken peasants died of starva
tion, typhus and cholera, Lenin
became convinced that something
radical had to be done. From
that time on, he became a flam
ing revolutionist.
During the next twenty-five
years, he was hounded and driven
from one country to another, liv-
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, BLKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
ing at various times In Germany,
Australia, France, Poland. Switz
erland and England. When he
lived in London, he would often
go and sit for hours at a time be
side the grave of Karl Marx, the
father of Socialism.
He wrote one of his revolution
ary books in prison; and, in order
to avoid detection, he wrote it in
milk instead of ink. The writing
could be read only after it was
dipper in hot water. He taught
his disciples to use invisible ink
when they wrote to him.
In November, 1917, Lenin be
came dictator of Russia and con
fiscated all private property. The
owners of the great 'estates fled
in terror, as the peasants took
possession.
Russia was almost starving at
the time and Lenin refused to
take sugar in his tea because
other people couldn't have sugar.
Although he was the supreme
ruler of Russia, he wouldn't per
mit himself to have even the
simplest luxuries.
Five years later, he was suffer
ing from hardening of the ar
teries, and he had a stroke of
paralysis. He lost the power of
speech, and he had to learn to
talk all over again like a child.
His right hand was paralyzed so
he learned to write with his left
hand. For two years, he fought
desperately with death, saying
over and over again. "There is so
much work left for hie to do."
His picture hangs today in al
most every house, every factory
and every worker's club in all
Russia. Millions of people wor
ship him almost as if he were a
god.
His body now lies embalmed in
a glass casket; and probably at
this very moment, hundreds of
reverent pilgrims are filing by it
with uncovered heads. Nearly a
thousand a day do him this hon
or.

The student's allowance had
run out, so he wrote home for
more money. Feeling a bit nerv
ous about the impression it would
make, he ended his letter: "P. S.
—I did not like writing to you.
In fact, I ran after the mailman
to get this letter back, but he had
already mailed it."
A week later he received the
following reply:
"You will be glad to know that
I did not receive your letter.*'
