| Summary | "Dirty Work for Doughgod" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous short story written in the early 20th century. The narrative takes place in a fictional town called Paradise, focusing on the antics and misadventures of cowboys as they deal with a progressive incident involving a female school teacher. The story highlights the comedic and often absurd nature of masculinity and societal expectations in a rural Western setting. The plot centers around Doughgod Smith, who inadvertently invites a woman to teach in Paradise despite the local trustees' objections to female educators. When the lady arrives, a series of slapstick events unfolds involving Doughgod's friends—Chuck, Muley, Telescope, and Henry Peck—as they scramble to manage their unexpected guest while simultaneously trying to dodge their own blunders. Their attempts to cover up their involvement with the lady lead to chaos, including a runaway horse incident and the misunderstanding of the teaching position, ultimately culminating in a humorous resolution that reflects Tuttle’s satirical take on gender dynamics and cowboy culture.
