Friend of the Animals.

Barnum and Bailey's success In
rearing rare animals Of the Orient
while in captivity is principally due to
the extraordinary magnetism and af-
lection Of one called Andrew-no one
ever heard his last name-the giraffe
man. He has travelled all over Africa.
Animals love him. A few years ago
when a monkey was manned in the
circus and was to be killed, Andrew
interceded saved the monkeys life and
nursed him back to health. The mon
key is now Andrews shadow. Among
his other small pets each Of which has
some special cause Of gratitude to the
kindly trainer, are blind dog, house
cat, a parrot, a chicken and a white
rat. Wherever he sits they take pos
session of his lap, shoulders and knees,
and talk to himAand Andrew talks
back. They all seem to understand
him perfectly.
