Hell In New Mexico
(By the Author of Texaa a l'aradlse)
The Devil in Hell we're told was
chained.
And a thousand years he there re
mained. He neither complained nor did he
groan;
Hut determined to start a Hell of
his own.
I
Where ha COUld torment the souls
of men,
without being chained In pris
on pen.
So he asked tho Lord if he had on
hand.
Anything left Whog he made this
land.
The Lord said "Yet, I had plenty
on hand,
Hut I left it down Ofl the Itlo
n rands;
The fact Is 'old boy.' the Bttttf Is so
poor.
1 don't think you can one It In Hell
any more."
Hut the Devil went down to look at
the truck.
nd said If he took it M a gift he
was stuck.
For after examining it carefully and
and well.
He coucludeil the place was too
dry for a Hell.
80 in order to pet it off His hand;
The Lord promised the Devil to"
water the land.
For he had some water, or rather
some dretis,
regular cathartic that am oiled
like bad cues.
Hence the trade wna closed, the deed
was uiven,
And the Lord went back to hla
home in Heaven;
The Devil said to himself. "I have all
that is needed,
To make a good Hell." and hence
he succeeded.
He began by putting thorns all over
the trees,
And mixed up the sands with mil
lions of fleas.
He scattered tarantulas along the
roads.
1'nt thorns on the cacti, and horns
on the toads.
He lengthened the horns-of the New
Mexico steers,
And put an addition to the rabbits'
ears;
He put a little devil in the broncho
steed.
And poisoned the feet of the centipede.

A herd of good dairy cows, at the
prices paid for milk and cream, now
is better than a potash plant or a
gold mine. A farmer with good
dairy cows and a big field of Box
