Evidently the Indians were so trou

Santa Fe and the more western forts.
The slowness of their progress was
on account of the General whose con-

Your sincere friend,

The cost of ment went soaring
up
To figures past belief.
Till Jones upon his table had
A substitute for beef.
The price of clothes went kiting
up.
His purse was far from full,
And 50 Jones wore upon his
back
A substitute for wool.
The cost of land and rent went
up
Wherever he might roam,
Till Jones could only live within
A substitute for home.
At last poor Jones himself went
up,
And Jared exceeding well;
Come in, st. Peter said,

Your substitute for hell. "
