Uncle Reuben's Courtship (1909)
Uncle Reuben is working hard on his farm. After the day's work he cooks his meal and reads his paper. There he discovers an advertisement, reading as follows: "A widow with some means wishes to meet a gentleman with pleasing ways." "That's me," says Reuben, and gets ready to meet the widow. A strenuous courtship. Dressed in his best, the rube calls on the widow. He makes a great impression. While making love a dude enters. The rube takes him and throws him out of the window. The next suitor is an Irishman, about seven feet tall. He did find favor in the eyes of the widow, but not so in the eyes of the rube, who takes a chair and knocks the Irishman down to three feet high. A German who next enters does not fare any better. He is thrown around like a ball and quickly exits. "Now do you want me?" says the rube to the widow, who blushingly accepts the strenuous suitor.
