TOLD BY THE CIRCUS MAW.
The Hlf Oiraffc Catches a Cold, Whtofi
6etUo$ In it« Nook.
“Seems to me I told you once,”
said the old circus man, “about the
giraffe having h sore throat? It is
a serious matter for any giraffe to
have a sore throat, bad for the gi¬
raffe and bad for the owner. When
you come to take an 18 foot giraffe
like ours, a sore throat meant large
expense and a large amount of trou¬
ble, and the big fellow hadn’t more’n
got over this before something else
happened to him that gave uh even
more trouble. He caught cold, and
the cold settled in his tlu-pat. I sup¬
pose he was still sensitive there, and
it gave him a stiff neck, so that he
couldn’t bend his nook at all
“You oan’t have any idea what a
stiff neck means until you see a gi¬
raffe afflicted in that way. We’d
had all sorts of trouble with ani¬
mals in one way and another, but
for real bother this beat ’em all.
We discovered it one day on the
road. The giraffe a! ways ducked his
head under the branches that hung
down, sort of like a swan or a goose
does, but this day, carrying his
head right up'straiglit in the air, he
brought up against a branch that
was at least 18 feet above the
ground. That was such an amazing
thing that we knew something must
be the mutter, and when the gi¬
raffe's keeper come up and spoke to
him, awl all bo did was to bend bis
nose down and look down, why, we
saw ho couldn't bend his neck, and
then we knew what was the matter.
"Well, of course, the first thing
we did was to set a man to march
alongside of him with a tent pole,
with a crutch in the end of it to lift
the branches for him. Most of the
time—almost all the time, in fact—-
we could steer him clear of over-
hanging branches, and of course lots
of the way there was long stretches
where there wasn't any trees at nil,
and then we'd come to piucee where
tho man would have to lift a branch
to let tba big giraffe go under, and
a grout pity it wuh, too, to see him
oouipcliod to go about in that man
nor I
“He went that way for about tea
days. Ordinarily we used to put
hi9 feed f'os him on top of an animal
cage, no that he wouldn’t i have to
bend down more than eight or ten
feet, but he couldn’t do that now.
So we set n ring in the 'center pole
„ 18 „ itflt , from the ground, UI 1 U V.'e :iued

a mighty impressive thing to see
him march in in that wuy. It made
him look 30 feet tub instead of 18.
“Twice a clay n man used to go up
on a ladder and put u strap around
hiu head, arid we'd hook on a fall
with u bo sun's chair, and a man
would ride down his neck and rub
in liaiment. He used to like that
very much, and it helped him great¬
ly, too, and one uiorning when tho
men went cut to give him the usual
rub they were delighted to see the
old chap with his head down pretty
near to the roof of the grizzly bear
oage, which stood next to him,
which allowed that his neck was
coming around all right., and also
indicated that he’d taka his break¬
fast this morning in tho old way, if
you please.”—-Now York Sun.
