A Sudden Rise

When the Federal Wilson made
his raid into Alabama, his foraging
parties were out in every direction
as the column moved on. One of
them called at a farm house in
search Of meat, and finding a like
ly steer on the premises the farmer
was offered SO in greenbacks for
the animal.
Gentlemen, that ar steer is
with a good deal morn than that, y
he replied, as he looked the party
over " but seein'it's YOU | reckon
| shall have to sacrifice s~unthin."
One of the Federals was trying
to catch the animal, when the far
mel suddenly cried out
Gentlemen, beef has gone up
oyer a hundred per cent. in the last
five minutes. You can't have him
fur less'n ten dollars
The Federals hadn't time to ask
why the market had changed SO
suddenly, for a troop of Confeder-
ate cavalry which the cid man had
been the first to sight came charg-
ing out of the woods, and in the
rout which took place the beef
question was ,un out of sight down
toward Wilson lines.

living quietly in her native State,
and seldom intrudes in the outer
world. Mrs. Santa Anna is but
4S years old, though it is a wonder
she Goes not look 100. Santa An
ma was President of Mexico three
years before she was born. She
was plighted to him in her cradle,
and married to him when she was
10. He was then a military dicta-
tor, sleeping on his sword, beset by
constant peril. In six months he
had lost his leg and got into a Tex
as prison. For 20 years her life
was spent in a camp, surrounded
by the whirl Of warfare. Her hus-
band was five times President ct
Mexico, four times military dictat-
or in absolute power. He was
banished, recalled, banished again,
and finally died when with his wife
in exile as a traitor. She has seen
much "glory," and has received
