GOES IN EFFECT SOON
The Scent Passenger Rate to Be Re.
 Established in Arkansas

Little Rock, Oct. 8-A uniform scent passenger rate, effective on all lines in the state, will be filed with the railroad comnis- sion today. The leading passen- ger traffic officials of the five trunk lines will come in the af. ternoon to the offices of the com mission and defend the advance. The date when the new rate will go into effect has not been an nounced, but it was said unoffi- cially last evening that it would be October 15.
 The commission, which has already learned of the rise, con- fessed surprise that the rail roads, in the face of the enor- nous boost in freight rates, should attempt to file a paSSen ger rate as high as that in Tex as and Louisiana. It was ex- pected that the companies would content themselves with two and two and one-half cents a mile, .the charge prevalent in Tennessee.
 This will make the passenger rates in Arkansas among the highest in the country. Kansas has a rate of only two cents Missouri on the north ana Okla homa on the west also have the same rate. Tennessee has z rate only one-half cent higher and there are strong objections to even that figure among the people of the state. Louisiana one of the most notorious states in the Union for high rates, has three cent rate, as does Texas

THEIR FREEDOM OF THE FARM.
Uncle Charlie Seaver's Welcome to a
 Large Picnic Party.

T hope you don't mind if we tramp over your farm this afternoon and pie nic awhile in your woods?" cheerfully asked the spokesman of a large picnic party as they walked into the gates of the yard, says Puck.
 Not st all. Not at all!" laughed Uncle Charlie Seaver as he dropped his stockinged feet from the veranda post and showed up his specs. Just mosy right along and have a good time. The farm is yours for the day. Take that road near the corncrib and help yourself. Step little light, though, in going through those med ders along tn crick, as I have never been able to 'sterminate that bed of rattlesnakes in there. But there's only a couple O dozen of the pesky crit ters left. I'll get 'em all soon. Better walk around the north pasture where old Joshua is a-pawin' and a-bellerin' fer he's a powerful bad varmint, and when he commands tn sun to rise you bet he gifts. That little ravine back O the woods is a fine place fer a pie nic even if Hank Hawkins does say thet tn ice dam at the head O tn gully is weak and liable to bust any minute. 1 took some O tn braces out O tn dam yesterday jiss to prove Hank is a liar.
 If that buck sheep over in the or chard gifts funny one O you grab him by tn horns and kick tn wool off him. He's been a mite too frisky since he nearly killed one O the hired men. Don't let tn young 'uns get too friend ly with those hornets nests in the ber- ry patch below tn grain fields. What! Coin up tn road piece? Why, yes I reckon Wall Weaver'H let ye in his big woods. Better stay right here. give ye tn freedom O tn farm."

Scene of Deadly Struggles.

It is doubtful if there is any portion of the earth upon which there are so many deadly struggles as upon the earth around the trunk of tree. Up on this small arena there are struggles fierce and wild; here nature is red in tooth and claw" When a tree is small and tender, countless insects come to feed upon it. Birds come to it to devour these insects. Around the tree daily are almost merciless struggles for existence. These death struggles occur not only in the day time, but in the night Mice, rats and rabbits destroy millions of young trees. While at their deadly feast, many time have they been surprised by hawks, and then they are at a banquet where they themselves are eaten. The owl, the faithful night watchman of trees, often swoops down at night, and as a result some little tree is splashed with the blood of the animal that came to feed upon it, Worlds Work.

TRUE MONUMENT TO DICKENS
Found in His Immortal Writings, Says
 London Journal.

Whether statue should be erected to Dickens is the subject of an inter- esting article in the London Spectator. The writer in the course of his brOws- ing quotes from Micawber and says: Every reader of Dickens, of course, will be able to match his favorite pas sages against ours The enthusiasm with which such competitions are oft. en conducted is the truest proof of the solace-we do not use too strong a word-which such memories bring in time of vexation, dullness or grief. And in them-whicheve they may be-de- tached as they are and properly should be, but complete and memorable in themselves, the true monument to Dickens is to be found"
 The monument to Dickens was erected by himself His characters live forever. for they are human in their nature, and we have all seen them. One remembers more of David Copperfield, or Little Nell, or Barkis. or Little Dorrit, or Pegotty, or Sam uel Weller, than of the others, perhaps, but where is there reader of Dickens who has not fixed in his memory at least one of his characters?

Paris Pattern No. 2397, All Seams Allowed.-Dark blue pongee has been used for this simple shirt waist. The turn-down collar of the material is made separate from the shirt, so that it may be worn with the plain white linen Eton, if preferred. A narrow belt made of bias band of the mate rial is stitched along the waist line, and buttons sewed to this belt at regular intervals hold the trousers in place. The plain shirt sleeves are gathered into narrow cuffs of the material and the shirt fastens at the center-front with small pearl buttons. The pat tern is adaptable to any washable ma terial and is both serviceable and prac. tical. The pattern is in seven sizes three to fifteen years. For boy of nine years the waist requires 2% yards of material 27 inches wide, or 17s yard 36 inches wide.
 To procure this pattern send 10 cents to Pattern Department" of this paper. Write name and address plainly and be sure to give size and number of pattern.

Interesting Situation.

Unless rain prevents, one of the most interesting games of baseball ever played will take place in New York today. The New York Giants will play the Cubs to decide which team is 'en- titled to the pennant. In all probability the Gian will use their star pitcher, Matthewson, and the Cubs will use Brown, the best pitcher on their staff. That it will be pitchers battle goes without saying, as both men are recognized as the best in the league and are the h eroes of many games.
 If New York wins today, they win the pennant, and will play the Detroit Tigers a series to determine which team is cham pion of the world. Besides the honor of being on the pennant winning teams, the players that participate in the worlds series get 90 per cent of the first four games, divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser, the leagues getting , per cent each. The players shares in the past series have am mounted to over S2, ,000 e ach.
 The worlds series is a series of seven games the team win nign four being declared the worlds champions. The players only share in the receipts of the first games so as to keep the public from accusing them of playing the entire series in order to get the receipts. When one team has won four games the series ends. If it is necessary to play more than four games the club owners get the receipts for all the games over four.
 The pittsburg club is destin- ed to finihs season tied for sec ond place. If New York wins to- day Pittsburg and Chicago will tie, and if Chicago wins, Pitts burg and New York will tie.
 When the National Commis- sion's decision was received in Pittsburg the fans in that city were jubilant, as Pittsburg still had a chance for the pennant. If New York had lost yesterdays game with Boston and then would have won today from Chi cago, the three teams would have been tied for first place. New York won yesterday and the best Pittsburg can get is to divide honors for second place.
