Friday, 26 Mar 1915--"HUNGRY" GOT EVEN--They are telling a good joke on D. S. Hare, pulled off one day last week by Homer Cleeton, more familiarly known to his intimates as "Hungry." On going into Mr. Hare's Cafe the other day, Homer was informed by Mr. Hare that the former's bull dog had gone into his kitchen the day before and eaten a big lot of hamburger steak. the next day Homer went back and asked Mr. Hare about how much meat the dog had eaten, and was informed that about enough to make twenty hamburgers was missing. Figuring hamburgers at five cents each, Mr. Cleeton, who was accompanied by his dog, threw down a dollar on the counter, and presently remarked: "Dave, you had better give me about twenty buns," and on being furnished them asked for the same number of pickles. Wondering what "Hungry" was up to when he started for the back door, Mr. Hare followed him and was surprised to see buns and pickles pitched to the dog one at a time. And when he rather remonstrated with "Hungry" at his action, which Mr. Hare took to be a reflection on the quality of his bread, he was informed that the dog was only getting the balance due him on his twenty hamburgers of the day before.
