The “Black Horse Cavalry,” under the leadership of “Woodruff” wearing the red suit of the Devil, is about to charge through a valley toward the “People’s Heavy Artillery,” with the “Taft National Battery” on one side and the “Hughes State Battery” on the other. Overlooking the scene is a cloud with the face of Theodore Roosevelt. Caption: Woodruff’s Albany Dragoons have a hunch that “some one has blundered.”
