A MESSAGE FJMMf THE CIRCUS
JIAJf TO OUR READERS
SAYS:
One of the most annoying thing?
to tho animal keepers In charge or
a monagcrlo is tho surprising Igrior
ancc and Indlfferonco of the mnjorlty
or tho people toward tho boasts and
birds of tho forost. There arc but
few zoological collections In tho
couiitry, and about tho only way that
a majority of thu people have to
study natural history from real life
is upon the occasional visit of some
big show.
Tho management of Gollmar Bros.
Circus and Trained Wild Animal
Show, paid a fabulous Bum of 'money
for a baby hippopotamus direct to
tho U. S. Government who conducts
tho zoo at Washington, D. C. it
was named Llttlo'Vlc. It Is a mag
nificent specimen of tho rlvor horse
and a most Interesting source of
study for the student of nature.
Very few people can toll whether n
hippopotamus is web footed or
whether it has teeth. Tho average
person does not know that it is an
animal allied to the elephant, that
It has short thick heavy body and
short logs, terminated by four toes,
has a short tall and that It feeds up
on horbago exclusively.
Littlo Vic already knows his val.
no and ho knows that tho public Is
not nearly as well acquainted with
him ns It pretends to bo. When h(
first jolnod tho circus ho seemed an
noyed that tho pesky, cheap, sick,
troachorous monkey attracted more
attention than ho did. Although
ho Is not shown tho attention and
homage that aro hjs due, Littlo Vic
has ceased to show disappointment
but lies contentedly In tho large tank
of water in his cage, and In parade
ho will mako "goo.goo" eyes at fh
crowd or open IUb mouth because
someone told him to do It.
Littlo Vic Is a jealous little now
comor, but ho will soon become just
liko tho rest of tho animals, content
ed with his lot.
Golmar Bros. Circus will bo In
North Platto on Saturday, June 3
and Little Vic will bo led around Hit
hippodrome track as a special Tea.'
