Jungle boasts aro gotting
soaroor and soaropr and tho
prices placed upon tho rarest are
enormous. Such animals as tho
giraffe and rhinoooros aro almost
impbsslblo to get and aro rated
from $10000 to 815000 in tho
animal markets of tho world. Tho
only rhinoceros in this oountry is
owned by Ringling Brothors and
ie on exhibition in their remarka-
ble menagerie This firm is also
the fortunate owners of two
giraffes whioh aro carod for like
royalty and oould not be bought
at.anyprioo. For the oare of
these precious beasts trayeling
oars and wagons are especially
built and their living rooms are
thiojkly padded with ourled hair
baoked by fine brass springs
and covered with a rioh and
serviceable fabric They are
nervous and timid oreatures and
must be watohed every minute
by a trained keener who alone
is allowed to feed them. Their
food is prepared and steamed ao-
oording to scientific rules and
iriolude apples oranges carrots
ancf; other palatable and juioy
fruits and vegetables. So far as
is kno.wn the giraffe never touoh-
es water. Cod liver oil and milk
are a part of their diet. At oer-
tain seasons of the year speoial
herbs.and grasses freshly gath-
ered aro fed in small quantities.
Another peculiarity of this rare
umuiui is uiut it never utters a
vocal' sound. Another genera-
tion will 'probably know of the
giraffe through natural history
aridjthe skeleton relics mounted
in halls 'of soience. ... -

J. D. Ivy late of Taylor ooun-
ty but now six miles east of Al-
bany is muoh pleased with his
new farm. He liked Taylor ooun-
ty very muoh but land was too
high beyond the mountains whore
he lived for him to own enough
so he sold there at $20 and
bought 320 aores beyond Albany
at $7 per aore. He has 120 in
cultivation and 200 in pasture.
This year he has 80 acres in cot
ton which he thinks will make 40
bales. He will sow 60 acres
in wheat this fall and has good
land for it. We know the coun-
try he is in and it is beautiful
and most qf it fertile. "I have
been offered $15 per aore for it
by twq different parties but will
hold it for $20" he remarked.
A man with suoh a farm Jout of
debt and in good health is more
independent than any congress-
man in America and would bo
foolish to swap Jobs with one.
Mr. Ivy put up ooin for Tho Re-
porter and Dallas Semi-Weekly
News. May his shadow never
grow less
A little money goes a long
way at Over Hardware Co.
