£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

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

Mr. and Mrs. F. I. Moses and
son, Robert, of Wayne; and
