Peg Leg's Sad Story and the Drummer's Bargain
An old cripple known as Peg Leg tells of being signed to advertise a false leg by a Chicago drummer. The drummer offered a self-wriggling, durable leg for free in exchange for wearing it publicly and giving testimonials. Peg Leg accepts, gains ease walking, but remains unhappy and resents the arrangement demanding the leg be taken back. He laments lost earnings and pleads to return to his old stump and routine.
