Cooky's Adventure (1915)
News that the Democratic candidate has been elected fills Rogers with fear and trembling. It not only means the loss of about $50, but also entails having his hair cropped in true convict style. In an ugly mood because of these thoughts, he roughly refuses his wife's request for a new hat. Rogers shaves his head that same day. Mrs. Rogers remains in ignorance of what has occurred until she calls at his office to make another request for the bonnet. Her husband's shaven poll fills the wife with amazed anger. To escape a tongue-lashing, Rogers gladly gives her the money she wants. Mrs. Rogers purchases the hat and sends it home by Katy, a cook she hires after leaving the millinery store. So greatly does Katy admire the new hat that she wears it, instead of her own, while on the way to the Rogers' home. The new cook climbs aboard a 'bus. It happens that Rogers, also on his way home, is seated directly behind her. In lighting a cigar, Rogers accidentally sets fire to the bonnet. Furious, Katy, attacks the poor man and gives him a thrashing. Rogers is not only thrown off the 'bus, but is arrested and fined. Katy carries the ruined hat to Mrs. Rogers and informs her of what has occurred. In the midst of her story, Rogers comes home. Sight of him inflames the cook and she gives him another mauling. It requires the combined efforts of Mrs. Rogers and every servant in the house to separate the two. Quaking with fear, the unfortunate man pays Katy and sends her on her way.
