At least, such is the idea in the
minds Of a circus crowd as ii passes

the Gagged representatives of the
forest and jungle there. However
Wen, take the place Of Fora, the
great Bengal tiger of the Sells-Floto
Circus, which is to exhibit in
Americas for two performances St.
Oct. 10.
Fora, who; by the way, is the pet
of the menagerie is a walker. She
is constantly on the move, walking
and pacing her eiglteeu-root cage
abuot eight hours Of the day. And
recently arose II discussion among
the animal men Of The Sells-Floto
Circus as to the distance she walked
daily.
a piece Of beef was thrown into
the cage, and while Fora gulped at
the food Alispaw reached between
the bars and fastened pedometer
around the soft, furry neck. The
meal over, Fora began The pacing
of her cage again.
That night Alispaw looked at tile
pedometer. It showed that the
great Bengal tiger had walked al
most twenty-one miles that day.

MONKEY IS MASCOT
 OF THIRD REGIMENT

Little Rock, Sept. 27.-When the Third Arkansas regiment goes to France it will take along mascot, that from his actions can be consid- cred an alien enemy. For several years two monkeys were quartered at Forest Park, in the suburbs of Little Rock. The band of this regiment wanted mascot and sighted the mon keys. The street car company, which owns the park, was willing to send the captives that far on their return to the wilds of Africa, or probably considering the monkeys fit associates for Huns, so the monkeys became a part of the Third Arkansas En route to Fort Logan H. Roots one of the monkeys took notion that he was a lighting man, and grabbing the near est leg began to sink in his teeth. hTe money is sadder and wiser now, but that does not cure the soldiers sore leg.

TOWNSHIP ASSESSMENT
 PLAN IS X SUCCESS

Little Rock, Sept 27.-When New ton county filed report with the State Tax Commission Wednesday. showing a gain of $563, ,O94 in taxable values in that county, Gov. Brough had positive proof of the success of his township assessment plan New ton county has no railroads and few corporations, hence all the increase is on real estate and personal property. The increase in Newton county was Nnost one third, the taxable value of the property in the county being $1,-
 5,529 in 1916.
 Another county to show a marked increase, where little was anticipated, was Perry. This county reports an increase of $415,71S and the report is incomplete. The assessor of Perry county believes the increase will reach half million. None of this increase was made by the State Tax Commits sion, that body making reductions in- stead of increases on most of the Perry county corporations.

MRS. FRANK 3. LUCAS.

From the Governor, who was
Mrs. Lucas has nothing but kind
words for the men of her state. In
deed, they seem to merit her praise.
And she should know for she chap
eroned the bill through all it's vicissi-
tudes up to the moment of passage
on the closing night after the clock
had been stopped to permit the
transaction of legislative business.
Men of all parties throughout the
state were in favor of the. amend
ment and did all in their power to
facilitate its passage.
On the last night when the bill had
not yet been reported out of com.
mittee, Mrs. Lucas persuaded one of
its friends to call caucus and bind
the members by caucus rule, and
when the measure came to a vote
later in the evening, 1t carried with
out dissenting voice. She hurried
with the engrossed bill to the House
to have that body recede from its
primary election clause and ratify the
substituted general election. Then
back she went to the Senate for the
presidents signature; and again to
the House for the Speakers sigma
ture and to have the bill engrossed
with It's amendments. At am.
Mrs. Lucas had the satisfaction of
enrolling the act which will enamel.
pate the Oklahoma women if the cam.
paign prosecuted by the. suffragists
during the coming months is brought
to a successful conclusion at the polls |
in 1918.
The president OF the Oklahoma
State Suffrage Association is Mrs.
Adelia G. Stephens. The correspond
ing secretary is Mrs. Julia Wood |
worth.
Mrs. Lucas is chairman of the /
finance committee. All three are
residents of Oklahoma City, but rep.
resentative women from all over the
state were largely instrumental in
the passage of this bill.

Their Suffrage Promise
A Moral Obligation to
Oklahoma Legislators
Mrs. Lucas, First Woman to Enroll
Bill, ExtoIs Political j..
Leaders.

Leaders,
A political promise is no scrap Of
paper to Oklahoma legislators. An
overwhelmingly Democratic legisla-
ture demonstrated what President
Wilson calls the moral obligation" OF
the St. Louis national suffrage plank
by adopting the Oklahoma suffrage
amendment resolution in both houses
in March of this year.
Back of Oklahoma's recent suffrage
victory is a story of mans humanity
and gratitude to woman. 1t is told
by Mrs. Frank B. Lucas of Oklahoma
City, who claims the distinction of
being the only woman to enroll leg
islative measure. Enrolling an act,
Mrs. Lucas explains, is the final dis
position made of successful meas
ure.
: "Why did they permit me to do it?"
said Mrs. Lucas. Because they knew
I understood the procedure. 1t is my
vocation to compile, annotate and
citate laws. The legislators let me
enroll the suffrage bill because they
knew / could be trusted not to alter
q word or a line. Never was l so
tempted! The resolution had been
amended to permit women to vote at
the primaries but the amendment had
been lost ! did want to see that
amendment go in"
