Roosevelt invited by western "Terror" roundup note
A bold, crude invitation on a stretched calf hide from Los Angeles club "Teddy's Terrors" asks Theodore Roosevelt to attend Los Angeles Maynete era La Fiesta. The message depicts Roosevelt on a bear with Western branding symbols, includes a map hinting at the Capitol, and notes authorities later sent a memorandum confirming his cattle brands.

A long, fragmented tale reviews wagers on kissing strangers for set numbers of days or within time limits. It recounts a Berlin trial after hundreds of kisses, a Liverpool man failing then succeeding with periodic rinses, a Frenchman betting four thousand to kiss a new woman daily for four years, and a London solicitor losing to a boar during a morning kiss trial. It also mentions a Bradford girl faced with rival suitors testing who can kiss most within ten minutes, with outcomes ending in a marriage for the victor.
