. Peck's bad boy with the circus [microform]. their legs, but the zebra is the eld-est son who is aristocratic and inherits thestuff, while the mule is the younger son whonever gets a look in for the money, but has towork for a living. So it is no wonder to methat the mule kicks. The zebra is the dude ofthe family, and the mule looks up to him,when he ought to kick his slats in, and rub outhis stripes with a mule shoe eraser. While pa was in the hospital at KansasCity he formed a plan to paralyze the town bydriving six zebras to a tally-ho coach, in theparade, and the reporters interviewed pa, andthe papers were full of it, and the people werewild with excitement, and everybody wantedto see a six-in-hand zebra team, driven by Al-kali Ike, one of the greatest western stagedrivers that was ever held up by road was to be Alkali Ike. The show struckKansas City Sunday morning, and the man-agement was scared at what pa had adver-tised to do, and they all wanted to call off thezebra stunt, but pa said if they cut it out the300. Never Was Such a Runaway Since the Days of Ben-Hur. PECKS BAD BOY people would mob the show, so all day Sun-day we hooked up the six zebras, and thehands led them around the tent with a mulewith a bell on ridden in the lead. They seemedto go pretty well, but I could see pas finishwhen he got out on the streets with that crazyteam. Pa wanted all the freaks to ride on thetally-ho, and he had invited nine newspaperfellows to ride with him. Pa thought the ze-bra team would follow the bell mule ahead,like a 20-mule borax team would. Well, Monday morning the parade started,and along about the middle of the parade, justahead of the calliope, was pa and his six ze-bra team, his freaks and reporters, and pa han-dled the ribbons like a pirate. The fat womansat on the drivers seat with pa, for ballast,and the rest of the freaks were sandwiched inbetween the reporters. We went along allright for half a mile, the circus hands walkingbeside the zebras,
