Looking for That Collateral.

John Allen, OF Mississippi tells story
of an elegant southern gentleman, unused
to the ways of the world, who came to him
one day, and with profuse apologies that
he knew nothing about such matters and
with some stammering, asked, "Ah, Mr..
Allen, can you tell me how gentleman
should go about getting little loan--a few
hundred dollars, say-from the bank?'
certainly, colonel" said Mr. Allen; 81
am only too happy to be at your service.
1t is quite an easy matter. All you have
to do is to go to the bank and sign note
and give your collateral. The bank hands
the money over to you"
The old gentleman thanked Mr.. Allen
most earnestly. He said he understood it
now perfectly, and felt ashamed that he
should be so ignorant in business affairs
He went away.

G. N. Bruce, Druggist, Eyart Mich; l
want to say to you that Htbbard's Rhcu-
matte Syrup is, in my opinion, the great
est medicine ever put up. You are fully
aware how lame and sore | was at the
time you advised me to try the remedy,
my back and ankles were so sore and
lame and the pain SO severe, that | could
scarcely move about. Three bottles Of
this remedy cured me when everything
else that tried failed. 1t is a valuable
medicine. FRANK V. HANDY.
The above statement is true and it af-
fords me much pleasure to recommend
this medicine. G. N. BRUCE.

POINTS OF INTEREST.
There are some forty various points OF
more or less historic interest in aud about
the ancient city.
The old adobe palace stands on the spot
where the old Spanish palace had been erect
ed shortly after 1905. That ancient structure
was destroyed in 1850, and the present one
was constructed between 1897 and 1916.
The chapel of San Miguel was built be-.
tween 1886 and 1850. In the latter years the
Indians destroyed it. Fully restored in 1910,
it had previously and after 1903, been the
only Spanish chapel in Santa Fe. 1t still
remains the Oldest church in use in New
Mexico.
The walls of the old cathedral date in part
from 1922; but the edifce proper is from the
past century.
Other points of interest to the tourists
are: The Historal Societys rooms; the
"Garita,' the military quarters; chapel and
cemetery of Our Lady Of the Rosary; the
church museum at the new cathedral, the
srchbishop's garden; church Of Our Lady OF
