£IRCUS BRINGS FIRST GIRAFFES The average touring circus has never boasted of exhibit ing a herd of giraffes. But the A1 G. Kelly-Miller Bros circus, which will be in O’Neill Tuesday, May 25, recently ac quired a herd. A circus rep resentive acclaimed them to be the tallest of all animals. The Kelly-Miller circus ■will play in the academy ball park here in 2 perfor mances, afternoon and night. A Kelly-Miller representative said the only other circus in America exhibiting giraffes is the famous Ringling-Barnum %iow. There are only 7 zoo logical institutions in the na tion having giraffes as an at traction. Giraffes are found only in the continent of Africa and are said to be the tallest of all liv ing creatures. They belong to the ruminants, or cudchewers, and naturalists are inclined to place them somewhere between the deer family and the hollow horned ruminants, in which are to be found oxen, buffaloes, end antelopes. The towering height of the giraffe is entirely attributed to the great length of neck and limbs. A full grown giraffe The A1 G. Kelly - Miller Bros., circus -n America today. They 11 be m u neiu boasts the second largest Herd of elephants Tuesday. May 25, for 2 performances. will measure approximately ID' feet in height. Giraffes live mostly in forests or wooded country. Undoubtedly this will be the first time any circus has ever brought giraffes to O’Neill. The herd of Kelly-Mil ler pacyderms or elephants are not only the "biggest stars" of the sawdust arena, but they assist in unloading and loading the heaviest of the show's paraphenaila. They are relied upon to raise the center poles as well as rais ing of the heavy canvas. In rainy weather, 1 or 2 of the big land animals alone are able to move a loaded wagon deep in the mud, where 16 horses would be unable to move it an inch. Both species are carried with this circus, the African and Asiatic, the latter being the only species that has been suc cessfully tralined. The African elephant being kept for exhi bition purposes only. Weekend guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Moses were Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Moses and son, Stephen, of Lincoln; Mr. and Mrs. F. I.
