President Roosevelt eats dinner with several men dressed in country attire with knives and pistols. The main course is a bear, placed at the center of the table. In the background, another bear peers into the room, “Gee! No faking there.” William Loeb hides underneath the table. A picture frame with the words “Dr. Long” is hung on the wall.
