The Cook (1911)
The cowboys who lived at the ranch house found it necessary to discharge their cook. Then they promptly inserted an ad in the newspaper of the neighboring town for a woman cook. It so happened that Henry Hawkins, an Englishman, was passing through that country in an automobile, accompanied by five young women. The machine broke down, and while Hawkins and the chauffeur were trying to repair it, the girls wandered away in search of refreshments. They arrived at the ranch house. They were so terrified at the sight of the cowboys that they forgot to explain their position and all of them meekly went into the kitchen and began to prepare a meal for the cowpunchers. Hawkins arrived while they were thus engaged. He was horrified at finding them cooking for the wild and woolly cowpunchers, but when the foreman showed him a copy of the ad in the newspaper, he took it all as a joke. At this moment one of the cowboys announced the approach of a bona fide applicant for the position. All the men began to make themselves look pleasant and sweet, but, alas, the lady weighed about 250 pounds and was as black as the ace of spades.
