Thlnks Chicken BETTER imam Turkey.

Noticing iH Yesterdays Times that Johns
toms, the Seventh street grucers, are going
to give away chickens again tuday to each
purchaser of 81 worth or ever of groceries,
the thought suggested itself tp me that
they, themselves, must prefer chicken to
tureky for their Thanksgiving dinner.
However, they have fine supply uf turkeys
on hand, which viii be suld, not given
away. I think chicken very goud my
self, especially when l get it free. The
fowls which this firm gave away on their
last chicken day were not only large, but
tender, and this Is great advantage in
selecting poultry, as every lady knows.
Johnst1n's new stock of raisins, currants,
citron and other nice things for the Thanks
giving season, are now on hand. The

so much interested, will be punched IN these

Captured by the British.

Are the people of Washington falling over
each other in their mad rush to get ency-
cicpaedias by British authors? The Ency-
clopaedia Britannica is not suited to the
wants of American families, nor the wants
of American people. The following quota
ton from the Washington Post referring
to the ninth edition of the Britannica is
corroborative of the above statement: "A
striking Illustration of English ignorance of
American affairs and history is furnished
by the article on war iii the new edition
of the Encyclopedias Britannica just pub
nshed." The new Johnson's Cyclopaedia
treats three times many subjects as the
Britannica. 1t is twenty years later-it is
unbiased, unprecedented and truly American
it is more accurate and more authoritative
than the Britannica. Johnson's will cost

A Rhyme for Arkansas.

From the Ottuinwa Courier.
Col. William Mclean commanded Drake S
brigade in Arkansas before the bloody
Marks Mill expedition. Mclean is now a
democratic state senator from the Terre
Haute district. He is not newspaper man,
but on the occasion of the wrecking of a
barge on the Wabash he was employed by
the editor of a Terre H&ute paper to go at
once to the scene and "write>it up" He did
so, and gave graphic account of the ship
wreck in verse. One of these verses has
since been widely quoted:
she heavod and sot. and sot and heayed
And high her rndder flung.
And every time she heayed and sot
\ wCIser leak she sprung'
On another occasion Col. Mclean was dis
cussing down in Arkansas the want of the
poetic spirit in that state, and some one said
that Gen. Pike was not a poet and that no
poet could ever be produced in Arkansas be-
CO Use the name of the state would not rhyme
with anything. Several amateurs tried
their hands at making rhymes on the name
of the state, but failed. Mclean promptly
ground out the following:
"A nice young man in Arkansaw
Can saw more wood than his pa saw;
But give him
And with few whacks
He can cut NOR" wood than his ma can saw
