A He'll Of a Place.

handed in to The Post this week.
From casual perusal of the
same one would be lead to believe
that the Bill Williams country is
certainly hell of a place for a
white man to find himself in.
But since hell is what you
make it, " the poets effusion may
be taken with a grain of salt.
The truth of the matter is that
tract is only Paradise Lost, -
and patiently awaiting reclama-
ton through the industry of man,
fact readily attested by a score
of individuals who have squatted
lup there, and who could not be
driven from. the place where
they squat" even at the point
of shotgun:
The devil, we're told, IN he'll was
chained,
And a thousand years he there remained;
He meyer complained, nor did he groan,
But determined to start hell of his own,
Where he could torment the souls of
men
Without being chained in prison pen.
So he asked TIE Lord if He had on hand
! Anything left when He made the land.
The Lord said, eyes, | had plenty on
hand,
But | left it down on the Bill Williams
strand;
The fact is, old boy, the stuff is SO
poor
l don't think you could use it in hell
any more. -
But the devil, after examining carefully
and WELL
Concluded the place was too dry for
hell
So in order to get it off his hands,
The Lord promised the devil to water
the lands.
For He had some water, or rather some
dregs,
A regular cathartic that smelled like
bad eggs.
Hence the deal was closed and the
deed was given,
And the Lord went back to his home IN
heaven;
And the devil said, II have all that is
needed
To make good hell" and hence he
succeeded.
He began to put thorns on all of the
trees;
And he mixed the sand with millions of
fleas;
He scattered tarantulas along the roads;
Put thorns on the cacti and horns on
the toads
He heightened the horns of the Texas
And put an addition on the jackrabbits'
ears;
And he put little devil in the broncho
steed,
And he poisoned the feet of the cen
tipede.
The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion
stings.
The mosquitoes delight you with buzz
zing wings;
The devil then said that throughout
the land
He'd managed to keep the devil own
brand,
And all would be mavericks unless they
bore
The marks of scrat ches, bites and
thorns by the score.
The heat in the summer is a hundred
and then
Too hot for the devil and too hot for
men;
The wild boar roams the black
chaparral-
It's hell of place to have for hell
The red pepper grows on the banks of
the brook;
The Mexicans use it in all that they
cook;
Just dine with a greaser and then you
will shout:
''I'ye hell on the inside as we'll as the
outp'
