It may come in handy some day

Subject(s): Africa, Firearms, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

Newspaper clipping of a cartoon showing Theodore Roosevelt bent down, putting a “big stick” in a safe monogrammed with “T. R.” A pith helmet and pistol lay on the floor. A table top in the left corner has a book “South Africa,” cartridges, and a hunting knife. A “map of South Africa” hangs on the wall next to a framed “contract with The Outlook.” Under the map is a chair with a rifle leaning against it and a cartridge belt. A suit coat hangs under the contract.
