Among the companies operating in Arkansas, the Tribe of Ben Hur, the Maccabees and the Ancient Order of United Workmen, have adopted the system called for in the new law, without wait ing for it. The A. o. U. w., for in- stance, shows that it is more than 100 per cent slovent and the other frater- mites named, besides number not named, will readily pass muster.

DIR. GREENE DE-
 CLIMBS POSITION
Board of Control Hospital for Nervous Disease State they
 Have no One Else in View for Superintendncy of Institution.

Little Rock, Dec. 2.-The members of the State Board of Control say that they have no one in view for Super lntendent of the Insane Asylcm since
 Dr. J. l.. Greene of Hot Springs, form CT Superintendent declined to accept. Tt will be our purpose to secure some one who is an expert in mental diseases, one thoroughly qualified and capable of doing the work efficiently" said the members of the Board. "We shall be in no hurry about it, but will take our time so that we may make no mistake"
 Dr. Greene's declination came in a telegram received Wednesday after noon, as follows: q have given your very generous offer of the appoint ment as superintendent of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases such deliberate consideration as have found possible under the stress of business here. Up to this, the last day of the time allowed for considera- tion of the offer, have received many requests from citizens in all parts of the state urging me to return to the duty of that position. For your very generous offer and for the kindly expressions from friends in every walk of life l am deeply grateful, yet I am forced to the conclusion that my best interests, including the problem of my health and the continuation of my years of efficiency, demand that I de- cline the offer. Please believe that it is with the most sincere regret that I find this course necessary"

His Sense of HumOr.

A sense of humor is help and a blessing throughout life," says Rear Admiral Blhler. But even a sense of humor may exist in excess.
 "I have in mind the case of Brit ish soldier who was sentenced to be flogged. During the fogging he laughed continually. The harder the lash was laid on the harder the sol dier laughed.
 "'Wat's so funny about bein' flogged?" demanded the sergeant.
 "'Why,' the soldier churckled, Tin the wrong man."

Dorothy was so homesick at her first party, and cried so bitterly, that the hostess mother suggested it might be better for her to go home.
 Dorothy accepted the idea, but a few minutes later, upon answering a timid ring at the door, the hostess mother found Dorothy bathel in tears.
 Well, Dorothy, I am glad to see you again. Did you decide to come back to us?"

FRATERNAL INSUR.
 ANCE COMPANIES
Report Total Membership of
 167,4S1 and Insurance $133,- SO5,915.2S-AmOunt for Bene- ficiaries S1,424,737.92.

i Little Rock, Dec. 2.-There are if ty-six fraternal insurance organiza- tions had at the last report total of 167 ,S41 members, and the insurance in force Tn this state reached the stupen- dous total of $133,S05, 5,915.2S. The amount paid last year to Arkansas be- nefciaries was $1,424, ,727.9p. i These facts show to what an ex- tent the citizens of Arkansas are in- terested in the regulation of frater nal insurance.
 Jan. 1, 1917, is the average date upon which the New York Conference bill becomes effective in thirty-th three states. It is what is known as the Mobile bill, modified and changed in many respects at conference be- tween the Fraternal Congress and the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners. It is uniform law for the regulation of this form of in- surance, the primary purpose being to protect the interests of the insured and at the same time safeguard the interests of the insuring fraternities.
 The act has not yet been adopted by Arkansas. The Mobile Bill was in- troduced in the Arkansas Legislature in 1913, but did not get very far. To- ward the close of the 1915 session it was introduced in the new form by Representative Ben Griffin, but it did not get beyond favorable report by the Committee on Insurance in the House. It will be introduced early in the session of 1917, and a deter mined effort will be made to secure it's passage. It is expected that those in- terested in the proposed law will have the influence of the National Frater- nal Congress back of them, and they are confident they will be able to put it through.
 While the law that goes into effect Jan. 1, 1917, in 33 states will not be in effect in Arkansas, it will indirectly have much to do with the regulation of fraternal inscurance in this state, Being regulated under its provisions in two thirds of the states, the companies and associations doing business here will give the members the benefit of the improved conditions. The laws will therefore virtually become uni form.
 Undr the terms of the New York Conference Bill, any fraternal organi- zation that cannot show at least 90 per cent of solvency will be given three years to place itself in that condition. If this has not been accomplished in 1920, the association must reinsue in some other concern and cease to do business.
 This is the condition that is caus- ing all the unrest in the change of rat es and methods of administration. All realize that they must come to it. it is not matter of choice but is be- ing forced upon them. The compan- ies are as rapidly as possible getting on a permanent basis. The level rate

The stranger was walking along the dock when a sudden gust of wind sent his hat sailing out over the water. He madly grabbed at it and in so do- ing lost his balance and fell in the riyer.

 He was placed on the dock and his feScurers began moving his arms back and forth to pump out the water in his lungs.
